    Yeah the name of the color does not matter, cause the color rules!

    A clear purple or blue needs to happen

    Upcoming Greasebat....
    [​IMG]

    A tribute to Aurora glow monster model kits, specifically the Godzilla figure which was made in green plastic with the option of a glow head, hands and spines.

    I did a special header card also with a painting mimicking the old Aurora box art, as best I could with a couple days to work on it.

    I'm really please with the result, I love the mixed vinyl pieces people are doing, Greasebat is sort of limited in variety since his body/legs/feet are all one piece. My daughter said he looked like he was wearing bib overalls! For some reason it reminds me of an Ozzy Osborne pose, with fringed jacket...

    Coming out March 23rd via Monster Worship, thanks CHAD!

    I had a reproduction Frankenstein kit, I never understood why they chose to only make some of the pieces glow, but it was still awesome, and this greasebat looks just like it.

    Plus I hope that shade of green finds it's way into a release, possibly a rub paint app.

    Jeff I really like these colors and paint apps that hearken back to old classic toys. Also, your production schedule is perfect. A Greasebat roughly once a quarter is just right. Keep it up!
