In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhubus waits dreaming/Cerebus the Action Figure: Everything is Awesome! Edition

Hi, Everybody!

I got MAIL:

I ain't got time to be filming videos...

Anyway, Spatula sent me one of the Cthulubus books Dave talked about:
(first his note:)



As I said last time:
If you NEED this image in your life, I can send you the nearly 4000pixel image I got and you can print it out and slap it in any book you want. momentofcerebus@gmail.com
Offer still stands.

And if you want a physical copy, Spatula knows a guy. I'd share the link from the Faceybookee group, but they don't let me. (Fuckin' Zuckerberg...) If you're a member, look for Larry Wooten's stuff.

Hey!

Remember that Cerebus Action Figure?

No, I don't know when they're gonna be available.

But I got a line on the Everything is Awesome! Edition:

That's RIGHT! It's Cerebus the Lego:
My unpainted prototypes.

So, I got this Lego Spider-Man set that had a "Porkchop" minifigure. (He's the Spider-Ham version of Venom.)
And it got me thinking about making a Cerebus Lego Minifigure.

So I went to the eBays and found as many Spider-Ham and Spider-Ham knockoffs as I could get my grubby lil' hands on.
Anybody want a little head? (I WON'T be apologizing for that joke.)


I even got a bunch of little sets of legs so my Cerebi will be shorter than you average mini figure. (Like "Unorthodox Bacon Revenge" on the left...)
I mean a lot of legs sets:

Anyway, back to the figures,

I have two different tails:


The one on the left needs to be sanded down a little. And I have to make a sculpty mold to mass produce enough of them. (I got parts to make like fifteen minifigs.)




The other big step I have to do is to get gray, black, and white paint.

Which is where my problem comes in. I'm apparently involved in a Blood Feud with the local gaming store, so I can't shop there. And I'm involved in another Blood Feud with the gaming store near my Local Comic Shop. So, once I find a place I can get the paint, it's just a matter of painting, making the tails and swords, and getting the right cloth to make little vests:
Black like the batman cape, but with a modified cut like the coat.

I'll let everybody know when I'm finished and ready to sell to the lucky few.

If you wanna skip the "Matt"le Man, check eBay.

The only other name on that back cover I recognize is Marc Hempel, and only because I'm old enough to remember Mars.
