Sorry for reviving this thread a bit--been inactive for months.







Even the pattern on the fingers and toes are inescapably--identical??

I don't know, I still heart the Takkong for its uniqueness and the sheer size of it..

wow, i dont even care for the sarumon but damn. nice paint job lamour! love the shorts and mask also. nice touch sir

Limited production. Edition of 10. Also that's a shrunken head.

reminds me of bobongo.

Hahaha awesome! Papashango-mon! The head is a nice touch. I don't mind clothes for toys either, but props really seal the deal.

That's awesome Lamour. Are they actual shorts or glued on fur?

thanks guys, cut and sewn by me. Probably a Mishka release. Header card by me and Greg in a mesh bag;)

Now that's hot.
You and Greg have been killing it nonstop w/ some crazy releases.

post it Joe! You got the exclusivE

You killed the paintjob joel! I want that Sarumon! Its the mask around the eyes that does it for me! I wish I could afford one, but I'm sure it's outta my league right now.

That's fucking great Joel!!!

Amazing!

Thought I had enough Sarumons to last me a lifetime.
I was so wrong.

Great custom Joel!

Hey Joel, This is a breathtaking custom paint. I think it is the finest Sarumon done to date.

thank you Bob and thanks everyone. Again, this is a micro production run. If you guys want one, pm Greg because as it stands now, lottery might be the only way to do it.

I have never been a fan of this figure until now. Joel, you killed it!

NICE score DlyanX, and KILLER Sarumon Joel - awesome!!!!!

Joel, that is the sickest best custom sarumon yet! Congrats!

Still find it amazing that the community has embraced this blatant rip-off of another companies design.
I am not usually a hater (or I try not to be) but this figure has always been beyond the pale IMH(ateful?)O

Joel's caveman does rock!

I don't think I ever got a clear/non-snotty answer on it (from anyone), but what's the difference between Killer J doing this and Gargamel "ripping off" IKB's Hedorans and Zags? Not trying to argue, but I just want to know the difference/what I'm missing I guess? Both were original sculpts then someone ripped them off years later. 1 is accepted, 1 isn't. I mean I'm certain there's an element I'm missing, I just don't know what is all.

Joels Sarumon has put a spell on me...

I'm not sure what teh answer is myself; is it because its felt that insufficient credit/call-out was given to teh OG by Killer J? I had actually bought quite a few zags before I heard about teh IKB version, via Skullbrain - and looking at both I much prefer Gargamels re-interpretation. The re-imagined Sarumon is a sturdy beast of a figure that works well with a multitude of paint apps. PLenty of people who stop by love this version....and again I think it is an improvement aesthetically on the OG version. BUT credit, where credit is due; this version could not exist without the original and teh same goes for Gargamels zags and hedo's. So come Don, or someone, tell me what I am also missing here?

The original also has a very cool shell on its back and tail (?) I think?
