    Soloistoy: Molochowl
    Iv been following this toy maker for a bit now especially with the development of the two headed giant Molochowl. From the moment I won the lottery on this figure and got it in my hand iv fallen in love with the sculpt. It has an amazing amount of detail. It was really hard to take pictures of this particular version because of the decayed looking color composition. Two heads fully rotatable and different, one fist sculpted as an uppercut while other is open. Hell it even has two different feet.

    I also wanted to post this thread in case the toy maker starts branching out into other areas but this will be mainly for the giant if the mods allow me to keep it.


    So this is the front view of the 9 or 10 inch tall figure. Not sure on the exact size but hes pretty damn huge and goes great with any other creepy ass monster collection you got going. The color is great to because it reminds me of the advanced decay look of the Tar Zombie from Return Of The Living Dead.

    The back is sculpted instead of looking humanoid it looks like a completely separate creature entirely.

    The left head exposed brain portion is pretty impressive to.

    And than finally each piece comes with a very nice draw string bag to put your figure in with the Soloistoy logo to keep your figures safe when your on the go with them.

    I loved the header to so ill end up keeping it since its got an awesome oil painted look to the picture.

    So all in all im definitely looking forward to future purchases from this artist. And i know there's a few two headed giant threads floating around but i felt this deserved its own thread at the very least.

    If you guys get any of the color variants id love to see some pictures or to just talk about the sculpt in general! :D

    Are people just out of ideas? I don't get it. I mean don't get me wrong this looks like it was sculpted very well...but now it seems like every two weeks there's a new maker with a new two headed sculpt out of left field. It's getting old fast IMO.

    Eh you can only do so much with things before everyone and there grandmother has made something similar. That goes with pretty much any kind of mythical Japanese/Asian monster, Wolf Man, Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.

    I do like giants in general so this one appealed to me quite a bit.

    Make no mistake though that this is a great figure in hand. Solid and well built.

    Have been following this company too, and the 2 headed monster sculpt does look very interesting. Any idea if its a sofubi and where is the company/ artist from?

    That is a good question. It definitely looks and feels sofubi to me and even if its not i feel like it deserves a place on here somewhere. It might be from outside of Japan but im as clueless as you on this.

    The shipping box is from China. I haven't thrown it away yet since trash pick up day is not till Tuesday. As far as the technique used im still unsure.
