Shit!

That's actually quite scary. But is it my imagination or is he even more miserable-looking than in the comic?

I wouldn't want him in my house. He'd scare my cats and drink all the oil out of the neighbours' cars.

Oh, wait - he's not real, is he?

He might not be real but he's even more impressive in the flesh (metal?). The Joe Pineapples has been re-released too.

Manga, pardon my ignorance here but is this something you have produced yourself? I recall seeing some other models which if I remember correctly were produced by you.

Cool... and creepy!

I accidentaly left my window open for an hour, and now my entire ceiling is a seething mass of flies, moths, spiders and mosquitoes. What's so good about houses? Why don't they build their own? Where did I put my flamethrower?

im not sure who produces these.but a dealer sent me several of these pics a couple of months back. he had all sorts of comic book heros. all excellent.
sadly they are not painted. and im no artist.
though they are superb.

there are others avaible of tooth figures.i forget which ones.
very high standard arnt they.

Me make em? I wish!
No, they were produced a UK company (Timeslip Models i think) quite a few years ago. The only ones i know of are Blackblood and Pinapples.
They've been re-released, with Frontier Models stocking them.
They really are impresssive, being lifesize. If you're in London and want to see one in the flesh, Comet Minatures in Lavender Hill have a painted Blackblood on the shelf.

'kin A, they are a sah-wee-eet, any plans to do any others does anyone know? I want 'em, but I cant paint well enough, suppose I could just spray them silver or bronze.
