    Danger: Diabolik

    My friend Sean and I haven't done a project together in a long time. He called me about a year ago and said he'd like to do some stuff we both are fond of, mainly cult movies.

    Our first subject was Diabolik, a movie we both got hooked on in college when I found a cheap VHS copy.

    The challenge was the mask, we flirted with spandex and vacuform but eventually Sean attached a magnet system into a Mego body so we could swap heads. Still working out some bugs but it's coming along.


    Sculpting by Sean Sansom
    Head paints and costume by Martin AKA Distinctive Dummies
    Card Art by Me

    Sean sculpted some goodies for Diabolik as well.




    Right now there are three of these complete, the first guy to get one was Sean's boss Guillermo Del Toro. It sits proudly in his office.

                Yeah, this is just gold. Too good. How about a Mark Markary from Planet of the Vampires?

                        ARRGH! I'm in the middle of making a comics version of Diabolik, but yours blows mine outta the water. Well done, from the figure to the packaging! Excellent work!

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                          outstanding work by all. Is there any chance of this being a production figure? From Odeon?
