As ToyConUK 2014 approaches JonPaul Kaiser still has time to feed the needs of his collectors. Two lucky collectors have received their commissioned JPK work and what a stunner they are. JPK relives his iconic Captain Sturnbrau but with a twist. One 3″ Dunny interpretation of the great Captain, and the second is a zombie version of the Captain Sturnbrau.
A prototype of this was made by Toy2R but is very unlikely to see the light of day, so this guy is my resculpted version of the figure, with a more skeletal face and his gizzards hanging out on display. To be honest this smashes the production version of Captain Sturnbrau by Toy2r, much more definition in the face and a lot more character, the teeth , hook and wood grain on the peg leg really get me. I guess JPK will get a lot demand to re-make these customs after these are visible to the public and collectors who have the original Toy2r Captain Sturnbrau.
Next up is a 3″ Kidrobot Dunny customised into Captain Sturnbrau! it really would look great right next to the original Captain Sturnbrau. This custom must of taken a fair bit of time to sculpting to look like the original but in a 3″ size.
Last but not least JPK will be releasing this WoodSprite on his Online Shop HERE Friday 21st March 2014 at 12 NOON UK GMT. It’s a small figure, the head is vinyl, the tree is plastic, the rest is an original sculpt. The whole thing is just 2.5-3″ tall so the figure himself is very small, maybe just over 1″.
