Gorgoloid‘s Barry Allen Williams is proud to present the latest addition to his ever growing family of resin kaiju, the super-creepy Fiji Mermaid! Based on the original sideshow oddity that was bought by an American Sea Captain from Japanese sailors in the early 1800’s, these “mermaids” were created by Asian fishermen who would stitch together taxidermy monkey and fish bodies to resemble the mythical beasts. Coming in at around 3.5″ long, Gorgoloid’s rendition has been has been hand sculpt and cast in resin by the artist, featuring a mixed, 2-part design that’s been tinted in a variety of Monster Kolor dyes. Limited to an edition of 25 for this first round, the Fiji Mermaids will be touching down in the Gorgoloid store this Thursday, June 4th at 6pm Pacific for just $30 each plus shipping…

Standing at around 6″ tall, the pair have been cast in marbled white resin complete with matching Monster Kolor sprays and hand painted detailing. Priced at $100 each, these will join the Fiji Mermaids in the Gorgoloid store this Thursday…
