I don't even understand what Croc is doing with his right arm. It looks dislocated and hanging on at the shoulder ...like as if his right arm just went numb. I wasn't very keen on his mixed media pants either.
Agreed

Reviving something that has been on my mind for a long time.

I was finally able to find someone who would help with a head sculpt for Croc, that is looking to his left.

Thing is, the person's in Cranbrook, British Columbia, and doesn't have Croc. He is on Shiflett Brothers' Sculpting Forum on FB.

I don't know how to make this happen, as in, sending a PF to him so that he can create what he has to, properly. I live in Asia and it wouldn't make practical sense to send mine over to him. The to and fro s/h will cost more than the head sculpt am sure.

Any thoughts, guidance, or help on this would be greatly appreciated.

The other thing is, Croc wasn't that big originally. If you go back to the '80s comics, he was basically the size of a large man, which this PF captures perfectly. He became a giant mutant later, and I think the Arkham games cemented him in people's minds as a giant mutant, because we all know most collectors never actually read any comics.

This PF doesn't get the respect it deserves.
Ah, you know your stuff. I just picked this up a couple of weeks ago and love it. Good post. It really is a cool piece.
