    LoL! too funny if such a thing did exist. Anyway, I was asking Tossy why BxH did his rendition of Vader the way he did. Almost as if he did nothing to the piece. Tossy explained to me that BxH respects Darth Vader and his form so much that he didn't want to alter it too much or detract from the original. I thought Tossy was kidding but he also conveyed how much impact Star Wars had on his life. He said that if it wasn't for Star Wars, he wouldn't be doing what he does today. Just some really insightful perspectives that I would have never even thought of. I also told him that he should've had a piece in the Project Vader and he was so humble as to say that he wasn't big enough to contribute to that show. Tossy RULEZ! Watch out for him because he is one multi talented dude that will definitely be making an impact this year.

    I kind of wish those Zombie heads weren't clear so they'd be more easily distinguished in photos. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on with them. I know we'll see them better in time, but I am really super-stoked on those.

    joe made the one on the far right, the one with the big mouth.
    hiro designed the one 3rd from the left.
    i am pretty sure koji designed the second from the left (looks like a mutated tokoji)
    not sure about the other two

    it is tough to see the detail in unpainted clear red, but when these are released, they will be painted in a way that shows off kiyoka's terriffic sculpts. here is a photo of the wax mold of 'zombie escaregot', the head i designed. i am very happy with kiyokas sculpt, and i couldnt be more ecstatic to have a real toy in the works!

    ill post images of the rest of the sculpts as soon as i can find them.

    It definitely looks different from the red clear shot. This one you can see a lot more detail and the head begins to take shape.

    I think its just hard to tell all the finite details with the clear shots...but this really makes it look rad.

    The opaque color really works for seeing the details. Great job Josh! Can't wait for the first release.
