Question Salem's Lot Count Barlow statue/bust/PF figure info please?

Howdy folks!

I'm looking to find a statue or PF of Count Barlow from the original 1978
Salem's Lot mini-series if at all possible. I know that I've run across some
busts and a kit or two of him in the past, but I don't have any idea where
they were and who produced them. If anybody here knows, I'd surely
appreciate any info or links so that I could find this piece hopefully.

This would be one of my most-wanted pieces of all, especially in a 1/4
scale PF figure, as Salem's Lot scared me more than anything else ever
as a kid. Ralphie Glick coming to the bedroom window after his brother
still resonates with me to this day due to the fact that I had a similar
window at the foot of my bed! Many wide-eyed nights I tell you!

And if there were a kit or diorama of that - Danny at the bedroom window
with Ralphie on the other side, I'd do MUCH to have that as well.

If there aren't any production pieces of Barlow or the kids, I'd very much
consider custom commissioning a 1/4 scale PF or statue of Count Barlow
or the diorama that I mentioned above, as THAT was truly a scary scene,
the likes of which I've still never ever found an equal.






Thanks for any information or links!

JS,
Nothing produced in 1/4 scale that I know of.
This is what I could find for you http://www.xofacto.com/monster.htm then look in the page for Mr. Barlow in the Koma kits selection.

I think there was a bust released too but cannot remember where it came from.

Thanks very much fh! Yes, that is one of the statues I found previously!



My problem with it is it is smaller than I'd prefer, and it just doesn't
capture the scaryness of the character that I want to see. When I
compare it to the screen caps above, he actually looks kinda goofy!
If I can't find anything closer, that is certainly one option though.

THANKS!

Here is a bust I found at 3Demonic that is closer to what I'm looking for:

http://www.3demonic.com/template%20barlow.htm



Still though - I'd prefer a full 1/4 scale statue or PF figure.
That bust appears to be 1/2 scale if I'm not mistaken so it'd
be too big to graft a body under to make a statue.

I couldn't handle a 1/2 scale statue of Barlow!

Here's one I just ran across that I like as well! Amy from Fright Night!



Here's where I found a model of her, but again - not exactly what I want:

Tons o' dracs to choose from, but only ONE Barlow - the bust I listed above!

Here's the only other Barlow that I've found and it is a 1:1 bust:

http://www.fxwork.com/





This one fully painted, sure captures the eyes and look of Barlow,
but again - 1:1 busts just aren't my thing. Plus that'd scare the
living $hit right outta me every time I walked into the room!

I still hope to get or find a Barlow 1/4 scale PF or statue.

JS - Hate to burst yer bubble man, but I don't believe there has ever been a 1/4 scale Barlow. 3Demonic's bust was made by Squidkits. I happen to dig that 1/1 Barlow head....hmmmmmm.....
