There were worse things advertised in mid-1990s issues of Hobby Japan Magazine, but then again, why would you want those... obviously, those with an inclination to the morbid/gross will like it. Suum cuique.

I fail to see any usability for any of my projects, and that's saying something.

It is quite wrong...

And yet. It is a challenge to our sensibilities and idea of reality much in the same way as some of the Cthulhu stories are.
Saving the last bullet... just in case.

See my wonderful BLOG of stuff!

I would argue that even amongst Cthulhu (and horror in general) stories, some are more subtle, and more sophisticated than others, and they are by far better than the blatant, or poorly crafted stories.

I like it, it say's horror to me some thing the mind can't comprehend, I don’t see it fitting in with Cthulhu, but it's part of a game they are bring out so I may be interested in the rules..

That thing was either, interestingly disturbing or disturbingly interesting...  :o

Either way, not for me, please... lol

Bizzare and twisted. I like it, would never buy it, but the sculptor has got skills. :)

Yeah, was thinking that too.  Definitely NSFW, unless you actually work in specialized niches within the porn industry.

Fantastically sculpted and very disturbing. Just not sold on the naked girls...

On a side note we have a similar sort of thing in the works...possibly even more disturbing...not sure if we will release it as anything other than a limited edition...

Must be something in the water... :) ;D

I for one would like to applaud Kingdom for releasing this, at last a demonic creature that is truely disturbing and original, there are far to many sub standard Khorne/Nurgle demons out there, this shows real imagination, beautiful sculpting and a good deal of bravery on his part.
Being a KD fan and collector I have followed comments on most of the forums I know of, and the overwhelming reaction is positive.
For those that find it offensive don't buy it or look at it, this is an adult hobby and we should all have the freedom to make our own choices. There are far more offensive things to be found in some computer games.
This is sure to be one of the most talked about miniatures released this year, I have bought one even though like others not to sure about the breast eyes, but I think will become less obvious after painting.

Reminds me of the alien/zombie breeder from "Slither".

Really cannot see a use for this mini.

BTW...  I don't find it 'that' disturbing... Just me, I guess.  Just kinda odd lookin'...
