Those who have followed me from my very humble beginnings in the "toy scene" would remember the Snot Beast as my first foray into resin toys. Being as such it is a character that has continued to "evolve" as my skills have grown. More so recently I have put some serious thought into making a vinyl toy of my own, so naturally I chose Snot. Only different this time, really pulling from my inspiration and my horror effects roots. Just started blocking out and roughing in details, he will be quite the grotesque, Madball insanity induced beast. More craters,wrinkles,slime,veins,and even more pissed off than usual. and for those who are not familiar with the Snot Beast I suggest scrolling through my Flickr from page 12 and watch my beasts development. http://www.flickr.com/photos/papagrim/page12/
Re: The Snot Beast bigger meaner nastier, go vinyl? Wow, it's cool looking back at beginnings years ago and comparing the growth. For you, me, and many others on this board. That giant snot is looking really good, I'm sure I'd pick up a vinyl if you went for it.
Re: The Snot Beast bigger meaner nastier, go vinyl? vinyl this and i will own it... that is all... wait! clear green it please
Re: The Snot Beast bigger meaner nastier, go vinyl? Coma is not gonna shut up about this guy not til you make him... trust me i will have to hear about it over and over again... also hes a pretty sweet sculpt
Re: The Snot Beast bigger meaner nastier, go vinyl? Seeing the growth of so many artists breaking into the toy market over the last few years has been incredibly fun! Thanks man, appreciate that! I am going to do my damnedest to make this happen, even if I have to do some of it based on preorders. Clear green would be a definite choice! Well with any luck it wont be too long! I will have a new WIP shot tomorrow if I can get enough time to work on em' it is a blast working on this. Something I have been waiting to do for about a year now.
Okay, new WIP shots soon However a big update: I've been talking to the folks in Japan about the vinyl costs etc... Right now I am going full steam ahead to get this bugger made in vinyl! Expect more soon.....
Congrats...so whats the specs....any ideas at this time for starter colors? Put me down for a preorder.
Here's my plan at this point: GID unpainted, Flesh unpainted, he stands just a hair under 5inches and is about 6inches from shoulder to shoulder, 2 points of articulation,jointed at the waist just to have a "pour hole". Just a rough estimate with the general quote I have, looks like they'll be $65ea (price isn't solid until I can get a final price from them) Once I finish the sculpt (which wont be long now mostly texture stuff) I'll make an "official thread" This beast will be a shelf hog I'll get some size comp shots tonight.
