Hi Guys,
This is something I have been working on for some time. I hope to have it done for Comic Con in San Diego in july.

Hi,
Well it started off as a sculpture for molding ,Then it restarted as a foam build up. Then I walk away from it in frustation. I pick the sculpture back up and desided that I would cut it up and vacuumform the parts out of plastic. I assembled the parts and coated it with Plasta-dip ( the rubber coating on tool handles) to make it look more like the org. helmet. The body will be reticulated foam and fur arms. I still have to find or make the dracula cape as well as the egg slicer on his chest. I will post more photos when it is done.

Ahhh I LOVE IT!

I just got back from the phoenix comicon. A few people dressed up as muppets (the count & super grover) but none so freaking awesome as this. (Although super grover was lovely in its simplicity)

Well done! er... Well doing!
