    @eckotyper That might work for your penis, but to assemble this, that wouldn't work! Male joints do not fit into male joints so I had to operate. No heat was needed, my blade of choice is a Japanese medical grade type my friend Jun sent me.

    @zindabad Soft vinyl surgery was successful. I also had to use the arm joint circle as a template because the leg joints are a few centimeters bigger. It was tricky but one can fuck up a million times, you only have to get it right once.

    @kid_miracleman Fangs a lot, it was a labour of love. Working with any of the MVH body of work is aways a treat for me. Rich is a master of design and I am honored to have known him all these years. Being considerate will always be cooler than being an asshole.

    @animator Thanks that's kind words... Tsuchigumo is to blame! I always have had a fascination with spiders. They are super intelligent and don't mind being reclusive. They are calm and collected, when they need to kill, it's incredible to observe. Mercy is not one of their tools. Live to eat, eat to live!

    Brilliant! Not just a successful surgery for spidery horrors, but I believe you can now fit Ollie and Zerk heads onto one of those bodies as well :)

    I only made one cut to put this kit together. the male flash from the head, arms, torso and tail are connected still, untrimmed. uncut.

    like i said Heat, patience, and bending, and you can do plenty of things to toys you sir might think are not possible. but indeed are. the croc has a whole lot less room in the inside cavity to stuff all the flash trimmings uncut... yet i was able to do it.

    Cool man.

    Excellent work on the Croc! Seems like you took my comment and applied what I said as a blanket to everything out there. Not the case, I appreciate what you are saying and you could certainly try it for yourself.. There is no "right" or "wrong" way, always multiple ways/techniques for anything. Having fun and enjoying life are most important.

    @kichigai do you have a name for this yet?

    All I'm gonna say is it pairs very well with a Kumon and if there was a Shirahama-painted that would be tiiiiiiiight

    It would be thrilling to see Dennis and Rich collaboration for an official release.

    Some of the asinine comments I received from "super" collectors are not so kind.

    Fuck 'em.

    I had fun and the person who will own this ain't gonna ever sell it so it is what it is.

    If anyone care to read about Japanese Spider folklore here is an excellent site:

    As for a name:

    TSUCHIGUMO DX

    All I’m saying is a colab between Rich and Dennis would be incredible. Like a dream come true.

    I love that DX on DX mash and after reading into the lore it would make an awesome piece for anyone that’s a fan of rich or spiders. Not just a piece that’s unique and hype for someone to get but something special specifically for fans of both or in this case all three makers.

    Can we just get shirahama at deaths vault sometime in the near future?. I’d love an MVH paint kumon or a Shirahama painted DX or some combo of the two for my collection.

    Agreed-any of those scenarios would be great.

    Man, I’ve been slowly working on dennis to do a solo show. Trust me, he was one of my top wants when I opened. Don’t you worry, one day he’s gonna crack :lol:

    Off and on I think about what would happen if I end up moving home to Pakistan, or somewhere else where imports are difficult. My toys would come with me but the collecting itself would have to mostly freeze, nothing coming in or out. I get a bit sad but hey, the cost of flights would make it hard to keep up like I do now.

    I'm saying all this because, even if I left the country, I'd fly for that show in a heartbeat :)

    I mean, no bullshit, I genuinely think this @kichigai mod in relation to a kumon could be an absolutely amazing collab
    Aren't you two gonna be in Creature Bazaar? Just sayin' ;)

    I think we have talked about Dennis and his operation at each and every DV show to date. You know that the day this happens I’ll be one happy SOB. Hopefully you can keep chipping away at his reluctance and have one hell of a show. My fingers are endlessly crossed haha

    We need more reposts, wayyyyy more reposts. Toss in a little long winded smoke blowing and far fetched compliments while we’re at it for good measure.

    :lol:

    With the recent Eva-inspired Hyper Viper (BTW, if you haven't seen "Midsommar" yet, I felt it paired VERY well with Neon Genesis Evangelion), what are some of your dream homage pieces?

    For me it would be:

    1) HP Lovecraft Dagon Leviathan. Just slimey and oily denizen of the deep

    2) Castlevania Symphony of the Night Kakumon. When I first saw this in black vinyl I thought "this would make a cool living breathing castle"

    3) Christmas Krampus, of course! I think this could really shine in the accessories department. One thing I loved with Retroband's Meats was the clothing. Imagine Krampus with a little Santa suite and a big sack that contains presents inside: maybe a mini fink ollie busting out of a bag painted like a present, maybe a VAG Ollie, who knows!

    The chibi Leviathan DX struck those Dagon notes for me, although you could also call it Creature from the Black Lagoon, since it's a bit of a lighter green than I imagine an Old One. Full size in that kind of palette would be awesome. Even in mini form that guy packed so much ferocity, probably my favourite DX that I've seen.

    Off the cuff:
    • EVA-02 -- To my eyes that palette works nicely with more organic forms as much as mechs; picture a Flying Freak DX with a bright green eye, and sprays of burnt orange, white and red
    • Street Fighter -- Blanka Ollie or one of the upcoming jiu-jitsu fighters in Akuma colours
    • Gulf racing Hyper Viper

    I doubt I’d do anything more than some sort of small hand held item or small add on. Most likely never full clothed outfits.

    Looks like the next Black Sabbath is gonna be a colab show as well as debut of new sculpts like the Executioner.

    BS4 Sunday 10/6/19, MVH vs. PD!



    I'm definitely excited to see Rich's more horror-oriented aesthetic with PD's street style. AITSU BRINGS DEATH
