I concur with the suggestion for a Fink-styled roadster over just adding this to a Bootleg body, even if that means a longer wait for the additional production. That toy can stand on its own, and I get a very different feel from this. I think making it just another zombie style figure is taking away from its originality and style.

Agreed, stray away from the bootleg body...this thing deserves better.

Larger size will be sold seperately as well with a display stand.


This is what I wish all the bootlegs came with. Kinda annoying displaying the extra head. I know... I know... that's what she said... :roll:

Not sure I would care for a Fink-styled roadster. Fink stuff sometimes seems like a "when out of ideas go to". I'm also thinking this sculpt might work better on something like a Cure Boogie than on the Bootleg. The amount of detail in both sculpts would complement each other rather than clash. I do like the design of the bootleg(particularly the torso) and I thought the Nagball worked so we'll see.

this head is going on 2 existing bodies (bootleg and salariman) and a third unique body later on. need to maximize its uses as it is not cheap to make.

I do like the idea of a 'Rothed out tiger tank' toy, and have one in the works, but this head wont be on it as its from a different war. This guy is WW1 and will have a WW1 zombie body with period correct uniform and weapons, and I will probably make a British or American doughboy 'enemy' for him to battle along the same style.

The Tiger Tank toy will have a little monstery driver, but he will be wearing a correct hat and uniform for the era. I fthat goes well, I will then make a 'rothed out' t-34 and a russian monster enemy piece.

as I said, if you just want the head, it will be available as a stand alone, with and iron cross shaped display base, which we are making in house from high quality resin.

I personally like the Mishka Bootleg body and am designing an entire series of new heads for it, all of which will also be stand alones with unique display bases. 2013-2014 will see them all released.

Just make a resin display stand in the shape of a tank or hot rod. To appease the masses until you can make a sofubi one.

Take the spike off the helmet and do it up as a foamy madball!

Solid resin = best shift knob ever!

I like the tank series idea, would be cool to see in a Marx Nutty Mad style.

I would threaten to name my next venture 'Kozik' but that seems slightly passive aggressive.

It should go without saying that I am absolutely all-in...what a fantastic execution of an (obviously) fantastic idea. Add in a healthy helping of Luke and, well. Amazing.

This is certainly a breath of fresh air from someone I didn't think much in regards to this type of attention to detail and ideas. I'm glad I am so surprise by it. Great illustration and beautifully executed.

It's a great looking toy. I can't wait to see one in the flesh.

Best of luck with the project, Frank.

BTW, yes - not sure about the scale but this this would look awesome on a boogie! Any chance this could sit on a BM? And if you could release this as an unpainted teal or flesh? :D

Okay...leave the spike on, make it out of soft vinyl & put a squeaker in the base!
