I bought the shrunken (unpainted) Mythos head cast I bought the shrunken (unpainted) Mythos head casting on eBay back in the beginning of May while @davidvonner & I were working on our first #ForTheCulture♥️💀🤖 article - I had assumed that I would be finished with this custom before the 1st issue came out so it would be safe for me to mention it… never underestimate my ability to procrastinate (especially when it comes to painting unmasked human heads - curse those tiny eyes!)… luckily I was able to complete this just in time for the debut issue of @toycollectr to start shipping out to subscribers - please go check it out!
