Help identifying a miniature

[myincubliss]

Does anyone recognise this chap:



Given to me in a lot by Uncle Johnny (full blather at http://deadleadproject.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/mystery-miniature.html), but neither of us have any idea who (or what) he is or where he's from...

Posted him here since we assumed he's some sort of demon creature, but he could equally be an alien I suppose...

hm, I wonder if he's a monster from one of the old metal D&D lines...
The sculpting looks a little bit like some of the more ancient production lines.
