Being released on Friday the 13th, apparently. Interesting. It's a collaboration with A.K.Production (who/whatever that is). From the cruddy Google translation, it appears that they are all handpainted with blood spray and are meant as a promotional piece for the movie The Monster Child. (Edit: Totally wrong, The Monster Child is a company that creates creepy resin dolls and such -- Thanks VELOCITRON!)

Here is the Monster Child web site.

I'm a big fan of the Diablo and this doesn't seem to disappoint. Another new head sculpt can't be bad, but I'm dying to see it in non-Photoshopped glory.

Don't know, looks to me like a molded half mask laid over the existing sculpt rather than a new sculpt.

Either way it's pretty cool looking.

The Monster Child is a company (guy?) that makes weird little resin doo-dads (cell phone straps and key chains) featuring zombie babies. They sell stuff in a shop or two in Nakano and usually have a table at toy cons, like HobbyComplex. I'm guessing this isn't a new head sculpt instead it's a resin half-mask, like FreeBase said.

A removable mask would be even more badass.

Thanks a lot for the info. on The Monster Child. After checking out the site, that seems to make more sense.

Agreed. I'm not really into the Diablo sculpt so I won't pick this one up, but I think that mixing materials is a great idea and could make for some really cool figures. Getting molds made for vinyl is really expensive, so we get 100 versions of the same figure (not that I'm complaining, mind you) but making molds for resin is significantly cheaper and can be done at home so we could see a lot more variation not just in color, but also in sculpt.

It looks like it is an add on to the original Diablo head by the string that looks to be looped around the horn and punched through the overlaid material (latex, rubber, pigskin (leatherfacesque) - nice add on but hope that it is at least in an interesting color

Hopefully they will replace his puny lame ass paw hand with a Bruce Campbell Evil Dead chainsaw attachment...

Nice that they went with the green zombie look and not another reddish type figure - Nice Score - btw...is the mask made of latex or soft vinyl?
