Looks good.

Thanks guys.
Unfortunately, yesterday I added on a few small patches of hair to the body. I decided to bake it in my toaster oven because there was so little clay. Fucking unclear knobs, I thought it was set to 200 and 5 minutes later smelled smoke. I run into the kitchen and the body is flaming. Literally consumed in fire. I turned off the toaster and blew the fire out but the body was charred. Ended up the toaster was at 450 or so, and i had used the unmarked end of the knob.
Now I have to resculpt the body. But at least it's always twice as easy the second time around. I'm just glad it wasn't the head.

OK, that totally sucks, but you HAVE to post a picture

I will, it's a fucking mess.

ahhhhhh brutal

Noooooooo !!

Really is a shame, but I know you can rebuild.

And yes a nice pic would be proper

Here it is. Painful to look at it.

Any updates on this guy Joe ?

Doji and this guy need to hang out

Good timing, just finishing up the new body right now. Should be done this weekend. After the first body burnt up, it was tough for me to find the motivation to resculpt it. Sorry it took so long everyone, but the good thing is, I actually think the fur on the new body is synching up with the fur texture on the head better than the last.
So, it should be off for molding very soon.

Yes, they will be hanging soon.

Well, the first resins are finally underway. So I thought I'd update this thread. Much thanks to MonstreHero as these castings look fantastic. I took a stab at painting a white test pull first. I'm planning on an arctic Diggler run in the future, so I decided to give the idea a try as my first experiment, and I am pretty happy with the result.
I'm cleaning and painting resin now so hopefully the first run will be finished up this weekend and will be available next week.
Thanks for hanging in there.

Awesome figure! Release date?

Great toy!
My favorite sculpt of yours so far.
Definitely want!

Thanks, I'm glad you guys are liking him.
If all goes to plan and I can finish painting this weekend. They should be up Monday or Tuesday. But I'll post the definite release time when I know it.

This is looking great. I'd love to see a "my pet monster" tribute colorway.

Yes, I never even thought about that. I definitely have to do that.

I'll deffiniyely havre to remember to check about the release - this could very well be the first of your figure that I get! Classic.

very nice!!!
...but more, more color on the tongue!

Thanks Dedo. Glad you like them.

Ok, I finished the first batch, so I'll actually drop them in the shop tomorrow at noon (EST time).
Primitive Diggler and Jungle Diggler. I hope you guys enjoy the first batch, When I had the idea for Diggler, I had wanted to do a Sasquatch like creature and this was the Splurrt spin on making the beast new and interesting. So I really wanted to do a realistic brown fur run and paint Diggler as the animal he is.

They look SOOOOOOO f'in nice.

Thanks man.

I just dropped these in the store for those interested.

Shit!!!
That was fast.

? Both versions are still available. Splurrt.bigcartel.com

I know they looked like that with no "sold out" warning. Unfortunately, that was not the case when you went to put them in your basket it was "Sorry, someone just bought the last one." Like some un-believing fool, I kept clicking on them all expecting a different answer to pop up.

Aww shitty. That happened to me on a BigCartel shop not long ago. Someone must of been holding them hostage in their cart

So stoked i decided to pick one of these guys up, Joe.. This guy is great in hand! perfect size, perfect weight; i've been carrying him around the city with me all week.. Showed him off to Joel yesterday and he was just as floored as i was by your sculpting and painting skills

here's a couple shots of this guy digging on joe shanghai's soup dumplings
