    The picture is of the two artist's proofs from the factory.

    Limited to 1000 total with color ways of 500, 200, 150, 100 and 50.

    All 1000 will be airbrushed by the artist.

    All package art will be created by hand by the artist.

    It glows.

    6 page mini comic written and illustrated by the artist included with every figure.

    Clear dome covering the skull.

    Each is signed and numbered on the foot by the artist.

    I am the artist.

    My favorite toy of all time, but not the same thing. This piece of art is a cyborg with a skull for a head and a fricken lazer beam blaster!

    Thanks for all the feedback!

    I molded Super Sculpey, baked it, then carved it.

    I have some basic paint ideas kicking around in my head, but nothing solid. Any suggestions appreciated!

    I will release them at the New York City Comic Convention on April 18, 2008.

    The factory is making the domes right now. When they send me a picture I will post it.

    I'll just have to assume that "skcus" is Brooknamese for "Rocks like Dio!"

    i say one color way should look like flesh gone bad, maybe some red drip, i like the idea of hime being a zombie who happens to look like a robot...

    ...sorta a bridge between man and machine a meat-robo

    Like the bot. You should try sculpting in wax. You get a way better finish and control over texture. If you like sculpy you can make a transition with Castelene wax. You can get all your sculpting stuff here.. http://www.sculpt.com/catalog_98/Wax/Castilene.htm

    Thanks for the tip Robert DeCastro! I'm going to try that.

    Dio is from my home town.

    His cousin can't say the word sausage. He says "snausnage"

    jorasp, you may just be my hero of the week...but then again Roger may have you beat by posting about the coming of the Crayboth.

    I didn't need to see the pic you posted of the Tomy windup...I recognized it immediately in your design. Make this sucka glow good, and you'll have one happy Sanjeev...
