You definitely need to consider casting a decent run of this figure. He's a proper Vampire, not like those wussy male-models we get nowadays. Like Malamute said, the hand position in the silhouette shot would be perfect!

Hello guys sorry to keep you waiting but I have finished the figure. I went a different route on the arm position I found out that to make it look like in the silhoute I would have to repose the torso so I did a different position but it looks better than I expected. I am actually considering of making a mold of this figure. What do you guys think?

The face is good, and the coat is fine- I don't like the legs- they don't look finished.

I like this mini, and I could see it in my collection...which is to say I would consider buying a comercial mini if I thought the price was right, and you could sort out the legs. 

well done, and good luck.

What do you think the legs need? I can still touch them up :)

Either bare feet or those really long toed shoes that they used to wear. I can imagine that this Nosferatu is very old and not the sort who would keep up with the fashions of the day. I would also consider buying one with the long toed shoes.  :)

The legs still look a bit rough around the knees- I am not sure, without seeing the model, what needs to be done, but in the photo they don't look as well finished as the rest of the mini

I think it's his trousers - fron the front they seem to taper from knee to ankle .... unless you were going for something more close fitting?

If you modified the shoes into jackboots, he'd make a fantastic Weird War Axis vampire/evil doctor. ;)

Gday I am a HUGE fan of this movie. I even have an original movie lobby poster.
The figure is VERY good but needs just a couple of things.
The teeth really need to be a little longer and very pionted....it was one of the focal features of this vampire.
The legs seem to have a hollow around the knees...this could just be from the green stuff underneath, but they do need smoothing.
The hands are terrific, that is one of the signature poses the other is with the claws out.
As for the feet...NOT BAREFOOT NOR JACKBOOTS. He wore pointed shoes...though not pixie points or curls. Long tapers...sorry having a little trouble with the right discription. I will dig through my pictures to find a good example.

Otherwise a SUPERB piece of work that most definately should be cast for commercial sale.

Excellent, but I think you need, after getting everyone else satisfied (Holding our breath, are we?  lol ), on the 'shadow' version.

Edit: Sorry again about the PM 'prodding' you, but you do see plenty of interest!

I have done some work on the leg and took a better picture of the figure. Hope you enjoy. I know there is still places that need touching up.

I have a little bad news. I can't make many adjustments because I found small cracks on the figure after the last boiling. So there wont be many changes done to it because I'm afraid it might break during the cooking/boiling. I will although touch uo the legs and shoes.
