    Bob Dobbs; Church of the Deadite Hunter

    In honor of all the fine zombie offerings coming up, and the arrival of a firearm Steve was kind enough to supply - I give you this fella, in prog. You can probably guess which parts still need to be made when sculpting restarts.



    Oh and... a double feature. This guy's hands still need to be finished, and a head made -->

    Love that head on the zombie hunter, where'd it come from? And great take on Sauron, it would work for Man-Bat, too

      He's from a line I can't remember the name of and google isn't helping - they were hockey player figures that were fantastically bad quality. TRU had them clearanced out sometime between 1999 and 2000 for like... $1.29 or something ridiculous. Essentially they were all the same hard plastic body mold in a defensive blocking position (independent of what position they played I guess) with joints only at the shoulder and neck. The heads were vinyl (*so he's squishy... very important) and I added the pipe.
      I picked up a slew of them back then, and one of the ToyFare customizers used them a lot - both Punisher and Dr Strange came from recasts of these heads). The one that got used on Dr Strange actually looks a little like Matt Damon in person. There's one that reminds me of a Daniel Clowes character, so If Eightball ever had a Saving Private Ryan story they'd be super useful.

      Man-Bat is totally the second project for this... I gots some stuff on the docket first though.

        Nice looking Bob Dobbs. Makes me wish I had some custom Mego DEVO figures.

          I always like your custom posts. You've always got something fun in the works. Ever finish Bossk?
