It looks like sculptor Jean St. Jean is going to produce his own line of cryptozoology creatures! From new Fwoosher BamaLam:
7 inch scale, plans for 4 in the first series, One being the guy you see here at 7 inch, a Yeti at around 10 inches, and the other two TBA. Due out this fall, and hoping to be around the 25 dollar mark. He couldn’t really get any companies to jump on board, so he’s producing them himself. He’s a HUGE Crypto fan, so this really is a labor of love, and it shows! I, for one, will be first in line to purchase these. I’ve spoken to Jean, and it’s also been alluded to many other legendary creatures (some not of this world) could be on the horizon should the first series do well. So, be sure to support this line!
Full reveal HorrorHound weekend–March 21st!
I’m a bit sketchy on those details, however, I believe they are being self funded, but released through Diamond.
And I actually spoke with him a few minutes ago (to ask his permission for the reveal–wasn’t my surprise to waste, you know?), and he is pretty darn confident about the line. I don’t think it’s a matter of IF’s, but WHEN’S. And that is–in time for Halloween.
And in his own words (Jean, I’m sorry if I’m telling too much! Let me know if so, brother!):
“If I get TRU support I can keep it pretty reasonable. But I want them to be nice big chunks of plastic and lots of articulation like the Universal stuff I’m doing for Diamond Select.”
A 10 inch Yeti? I’m going to need two, one to keep as a Yeti and one to maybe make a proper Marvel Sasquatch! I definitely can’t wait to see what else he has cooking.
