    All having relatively the same form, the arms, tail, and horns make the character a bit too repetitive in itself for me. Heads bobbly too.

    I'd like to see it next to a familiar figure for comparison... sometimes size does matter

    ALL HAIL STAN

    I went for a glow.

    I like this vinyl and Stan's creature designs.

    I also like the way he makes his creatures seem "cataloged" like he's a scientist researching them.

    I know Cosmo Liquid did the K vs P, but Stan says the sculptor is Kondo (same as the monsters name) and that he sculpted Jim Woodring figures. Now i'm confused, are all these folks one and the same ?

    Some of his creatures remind me of the character illustratiions you'd see in D&D books...

    but better.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Three very graceful ice skaters. :) I wouldn't mind having the GID version of this guy in my collection.

    I quite like this sculpt- and the red vinyl. It's the paint on the eye that ruins it for me. Wish it had more of a crisply painted pupil on the black background, instead of the loose spray.
    I'll be interested if there is ever a "Little Green Man" colorway.

    Same here, I wish it was more solid or just black. Still might get one due to all it's other fantastic attributes. And looks fun to play. Header card art rules!
