Spirit games and Leisure games on line stores will sell them but it could be a while before they are in their catalogue and they have physical lead in the shop (beware as they can be advertised but not in stock)

Spring Heeled Jack was a character from English folklore during the Victorian period.
He was a devilsh figure, supposedly tall, thin with pointed ears and red eyes who would attack people and when chased could jump extraordinary heights to evade his pursuers.
Wikepedia has some great contemporary drawings of him. In one he looks like an early Batman!

Well, take that Ripper, swap in the head from an Elf (pointed ears), do a little bit putty-work on the hair and a couple of horns, and.... maybe remove the bag...?

Or use the Blue Moon vampire with the bat-wing cape as a basis...?

Just a couple of ideas...

The long high-heeled boots may pose a problem, though...

I remember Spring heeled Jack as a (super?) hero in Hotspur annuals.

He was a victorian reporter but he had a bulletproof suit with super springy heels.

I kid thee not.


Awesome
