Joey Potts' SOLEM "Green Apple" figure for SDCC from Rotofugi & Squibbles Ink


Oh shoot... Rotofugi is bringin back all the goods that they teased us with last SDCC and Joey Potts SOLEM (Single Optic Lake Effect Monster) is set to make his official painted debut! Standing at around 5.75" tall and sculpted by Chris Ryniak for the Lake Monsters series, this crazy looking figure reminds me of a creature from "Where the Wild Things Are"... creepy, hairy and one LARGE eye, love it! The version above, nicknamed "Green Apple", will be exclusive to SDCC 2011, and was painted up by by Joe Somers of Squibbles Ink and Kirby Kerr of Rotofugi! Look for this at the Rotofugi booth #4763 all days of the con while supplies last for $60 a pop!
