Description Sculpey, tissue dipped in paint. App. 12 inches tall.

One of my all-time favorite films is the 1963 Japanese horror flic Matango. Figures have been made representing the mushroom creature, but for the most part they are a bit toy-ish, and more than a bit expensive. Being an aficionado of monster model kits (which I collect), I had great fun doing this, and I say down with overpriced imported resin figurative models, be they monster, or otherwise.

Thanks for looking

Wow... it's so interesting to see other mediums from you
And you're so skilled at sculpture also.
This is brilliant. Very creepy, and pretty at the same time.
