#DiamondSelectToys @collectdst #MarvelZombies #ZombieSpiderMAN #2007, sculpt and signed by #DiggerMesch. Fell into disrepair 9 years ago. Both hands pegs broke at the wrists. A failed jury rig of the wrists by filling them with putty and and putting thumb tack needles in them led to the left fist being lost. A really bad idea even if i meant well. I almost gave up on repair or replacement as the authentic figure is now very expensive even loose. This year tho, I discovered an affordable bootleg version of the toy to cobble from. I rarely buy those of this ilk as I've lost money & patience on very poor quality knockoffs in the past. Plus it kind of dishonors creators and sculptors I know and care about. Took the chance tho as this is one of my all-time favorite Spidey toys. The bootleg is of questionable plastic but more durable than I thought. I drilled the DST arm holes hallow, boiled the bootleg ( on the right ) and removed the hands. With some tweaks and minor drilling https://www.instagram.com/p/CWnRySjrJMm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Way-Back-Wednesday to one of the cover artworks I created for 'The Other Dead', the world's first Zombie-Animal horror comic-book series... created by Digger Mesch! Also produced by Kevin Eastman, creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Published through IDW. This is the only time, (so far), that I've illustrated a 'Wolverine' on the cover of a comic! #theotherdead #idwpublishing #diggermesch #kevineastman #teenagemutantninjaturtles #zombie #animals #animal #peta #greenpeace #outbreak #undead #horror #turtles #wildlife #wolverine #xmen #dead #horrorfan #creepycute #comic
