This one is based on some concepts for a series of Kaiju a friend and I had come up with back in the punk days of the early 80's. Seagool was the first. I've been wanting to see this for a very long time! never forgot about it. King Jinx And it will be articulated for fun!
Very detailed and interesting. Do you have a story behind this character? ------ Also, what material is it sculpted from?
I use Sculpey firm. The concept was basically anything weird, yet sort of typical of Ultraman type shows. Very close in style to Specreman. The show as all sea creature based, and the hero was a lumbering Giant called the"Fish Master", who had a sweet mermaid girlfriend and was aided by a pack of drunk beatnik boaters (Sort of the "Special Science Force" of the show) . We had about 6 episodes scripted out. Everything based on typical plots and "horrible" puppet like special effects. It was really funny stuff. Seagool was actually part of this series. Yeah, it's for resin, The parts would need a whole re sculpt for vinyl, like maybe BIGGER?
Really awesome Paul! I think this might be my favorite resin piece from you next to Unchiman. Can't wait to see you cast and paint this fella.
can't wait to see this guy painted! i love the articulated claws, how big is this compared to your other resins paul?
Scale to Seagool. Imagine the "suit actor" on his knees inside shuffling around and operating the claws.
The "show" sounds kooky. You should definitely release more characters from the series. Would love to see what the "Fish Master" might look like. Treat it all as if the show actually existed at one time and these are re-issues of the original classic toys. King Jinx looks to a formidable opponent. As far as the actual size goes, I will have to wait until I have one of each figure in hand to make that comparison. (the sooner the better)
the carving is flawless and very well done. the character is not one of my favorites .... I have an aversion for toys that recall the sea and fish. with my english, I hope you understand what I meant.
W/out a doubt my favorite PK resin offering yet!!! Thought it was going to be hard to knock Seagool off the top spot but this guy is just bananas!
