Manhopper

[msharrow ●]

got this from Monte Wards private collection and it is incredible. never really understood the piece until Monte introduced me to a book by Yasushi Nirasawa with a bunch of beautiful figures of what i can only describe as....bug people. this is an original sculpt and paint from Monte & it is sweet. the brown Manhopper is still in his collection. he only made a few of these because the paint work is so time consuming. I do not have many non-movie related pieces in my collection but this is one i display proudly. This paint really shows what Monte is capable of. The antennas are made from feather spines (not sure if that is what they are called, but you know what I mean). on to the pics.
