Let me add my voice to the throng of hurrahs. I love the dark "unpainted" ones in the browns, blacks, and grays. I don't know about the Chicken Fever comparisons. I must admit I immediately thought of this...

Would love to see some Sludge Demons in those darker Karz Works colors.

I loved the MonsterQ figures, but never really felt anything else from SkullheadButt until these. These are just plain awesome. I'd love to own a few, but the price on the couple I've come across was outrageous.

Post Re: karz works /kazumitsu akamatsu
These are really great actually, and I am surprised I like them. I really dig the pulp sci-fi vibe, something I cold really see being made into a rubber suit on The Outer Limits, rather than the dark scariness. The ape especially calls to me.

But, as has been said already here, something I would in all likelihood never own, so I will just enjoy them from the pics. Hopefully we can keep the hype/competition factor to a tolerable level and just all learn to appreciate them :mrgreen: Thanks for sharing these.

Yeah, love these, but the retail prices are way prohibitive for me, if not to say generally ridiculous.

As soon as I saw these I immediately thought of a crossover between neckface and some of the demons that inhabit the pages of kentaro miura's berserk!

Yeah, at least two of them are based off of Paul Blaisdell creatures. Mutant-X is the mutant from "The Day the World Ended" and Star-X is the alien from "It! The Terror From Beyond Space". The faces of Space-X and Zombiekong look so familiar but I can't place them.

Wow! Good looking out -- Spot on similarities. Thanks for the info.

I've always liked some of SHB's sculpts (namely Howaton and Tolueneman (another obvious sci-fi nod, this time to Metaluna monster)), but these sculpts are on another level. There's a couple more version on the kong body, "Last kongs."

Thanks Banshee for the info, really enjoyed seeing where these monsters came from.
The more I see and the more I'm excited, I'm really curious to feel the vinyl here, hoping it's a nice chunk of heavy sofubi.
As much as I liked quite a few toys that have been released lately (i.e. Zollmen Zombies are pretty much on top of my recent fave lists) I find these mindblowing!
Love the dark twist he's bought to these classic sci-fi monsters.

Alright- the Robot Monster homage changes everything for me- that one’s a must.
Some day it will be mine…

When I first saw Star-X I thought of Neckface but again I now realize that Neckface may have also been thinking of IT when he first drew his alien :)

Yep, I get that, I just thought that it was stated as an alien where I found the shot - and just realized it was taken in 'Allen' st. :oops: :lol:

I've seen this ape before but is this a new colourway to fit with the latest releases?

Yeah, exactly. I remember a seeing a black ape somewhere on flickr but this seems to be a new colourway, a companion to this set. Looks great anyway!

I'm not super into the ape on it's own. I remember seeing it and was like (and still am) "meh" about it.
