Josh Clark? That sounds like an awful lot like Joe Clift. Why whould Josh Clark have both this piece and the Mauler? They were not the same sculptor, what are the odds that a fourth party got his hands on both molds, and has the same intials as Joe? Like you said he probably just clearing out his junk, slowly as too not attract attention. This guy burned a lot of people when he pulled his disappearing act. Did your shipments come from rural Kentucky? Its gotta be Joe. Any ways, no use crying over spilled milk, I\'m glad someone got these nice pieces.
I found some more pics of one of the 2 Maulers Joe actually painted himself. One he had displayed on a mannequin he made up, and one actually made it to a customer I believe. This is the latter.

I used to dream of this mask, at one time it was easily the best out there. But many more accurate masks have come and gone since. Still, it is a awesome (if not accurate) take on the part 4 look. It has a lot of realism in the sculpture, instead of looking like a toy.
Be sure to post pics when you get these sunabitch\'s painted!
