Whilst we fully revealed UME Toys‘ NYCC skulls last week (find out more here), we’ve decided to take a another look at a couple of the designs that will be available come October time… First up, the absolutely gorgeous Copper Skull has been meticulously finished in a rich metallic spray, coming with subtle turquoise copper-oxide traces around the teeth, eyes and nose. Fastly becoming the “second” UME colourway, the copper tones suit the skull’s minimalist nature to tee, giving a real sense of weight and presence to an already amazing sculpt… Easily our favourite of the bunch so far, the zombie inspired Brains Skull was actually created from a cast that went wrong! Not wanting to waste the vast lump of resin, Rich ingeniously set to work in sculpting brains over the top to create the jaw dropping piece you see above. Painted in a mixture of bone and flesh tones, Rich has added subtle washes to create the signature weathered UME look… fingers crossed it wont just be a one-off!
Stay locked on the UME blog for more reveals as we get closer to NYCC, and be sure to keep an ear to the ground for a VERY special related announcement soon…
