    Short fat body? He looks pretty tall and narrow to me, but with wide hips. Again, I'm going off the pics, someone who saw him at the con or at 5 & A Dime should speak up with a better perspective.

    Absolutely amazing sculpt. Saw it in person last night.

    Not a criticism:
    I'm surprised the back has the squid and boobies and not the front.
    I wonder with the articulation if you can reverse them although the head position says no.
    Something I want with the production of my new toys is to make reversible parts so next year if I do new parts they can go on either side.

    Looks pretty nice. I wonder about the tongue though - could it be removed?

    I like the tongue. He could be choking, that could be the reason for his tongue hanging out like that?
    I think the body is longer than I originally thought, but I still don't like the pot belly or the breasts on the back and I hate the feet, but he does have some appeal.

    Sorry, I meant that it looks kind of fragile (as do the ears) and I'd be worried about transporting this guy with an unremovable tongue

    Loving this so far.

    ... except for the hooves. Much too wide and round. Maybe this is still in the working stages?

    The rest of the sculpt looks pretty awesome though. Even the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas style "back tits".

    The fort outsources sculpts the them, SO if there the ones producing it its a giant possibility.

    He is, indeed, masterfully and intuitively sculpted by Miyazawa-san of Siccaluna Koubo.

    This post has been sculpted by a dude in his underwear.

    More soon. Thanks for all the interest, guys.

    I didn't embed it here since it's a pretty big file (Shub Zeroth is mobile friendly!) but if you'd like to click through, you can see an animatronic turnaround of the proto that was with us in SDCC.

    http://hateball.tumblr.com/post/2756929 ... -prototype

    Here's a frame for those of you who would rather not click through.

    Either way, thanks!

    I wonder if there are any existing toys that the head would fit on. Have you guys tried jamming it onto anything yet?

    Wow, I need 1 of these heads for my wall of animal heads(think taxidermy but made of plush/stuffed animals).
