Does anyone make a figure of a giant naked chicken demon thing?

I’m referring to this strange creature here:

Thanks

I will have to look later:

The TMP Membership System is temporarily closed for maintenance.

PS: Is there anything on that link that is not in that image?

Hi Mike

It’s supposedly from “Dictonnaire Infernal” by Collin de Plancy. Illustration by Louis Le Breton:

However, J.A.S. Collin de Plancy’s “Dictionnaire Infernal”, Paris : E. Plon, 1863, apparently stole the exact creature design from Salvator Rosa’s “The Temptations of Saint Anthony”, 1645!

I know of no one who currently produces any figure like it in metal or plastic.

I’ve never seen anything like that before. It’s a good sculpting prject though, not that difficult with most of the limbs being wires with some putty on it. The head looks the most difficult but you could probably built it up form a birl’s head or something.

That looks almost exactly like a raven’s skull.

I found one on thingiverse when I made my Fury Road Dice Box.

CC, sometimes I worry about you due to the things you are searching for!  One of these days I’d love to see the results of some of these projects.

LOL.  My wife also worries.  🙂

Looks like a Hook Horror,

Others may be available but these were the first that came to mind.

Wow, I’m really liking those CP Models’ hook horrors!  Thanks.

Also, someone sent me an email with a link to a Reaper Bones (#77262) ”Vrock Demon”:

Perhaps … with the wings removed?

One can only wonder how Saint Anthony managed to resist being tempted by that?

Just think of the amount of meat on those legs – they give a turkey drumstick a run for its money (sorry).

As for the figure – the closest I know of is the Bird Demon from CP models – its knees will need changing and you may have to accept the hunched pose and spine but it’s close. A fatter couple are on Etsy more chicken like or way bulkier.

Main issue with the Hook Horrors can be the carapace on the back – they can be heavy and very shell like, in fact they where supposed to shed the hard exoskeletons as they grew – handy for armour.

LOL.  Maybe the demon projected the appearance of a beautiful seductive woman, but Anthony was able to see through to its actual form?
