Title: Anyone recognize this skull also?
Post by: Monsterscud on May 07, 2013, 04:10:38 PM
Had this hard plastic skull for many years I can't remember where I bought it from. The jaw moves on this and it has no markings anywhere as I can see. Its about 4 in tall. Sorry about the crappy photo

Clearly the skull of Andy Warhol with that groovy hair.

WOW! That is amazing! you have captured a pic of your own skull 15 years in the future. 
Talk about the time warp continuum.  ;)

I can't say for sure, but the main skull (without paint & hair) looks exactly like a model kit my dad and I put together in the early/mid '70s.  Looks like someone added spray paint and hair to that kit.  Cool to see it!

I'd say he was right with your skull either being the Skilcraft Life-Size Human Skull Anatomy kit Skillcraft Model kit# 74625 from the early 70s or the Revell Life-Size Human Skull model kit from the late 70s through the 80s that appears to be a re-issue of the same mold in glow in the dark plastic.

I can see why you think it is possibly like the life size human skull kit but this one I have is only about 4 inches high and about 3 inches across.

Apparently I didn't read that carefully. Like the previous poster I immediately remembered the models due to the strong resemblance. I wonder if they made 1/2 scale models as the features line up to me.
