Apparently, it's by an FX guy named Asao Goto, and it's his take on the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

I was able to find one on Ebay over here (http://www.ebay.com/itm/CREATURE-FROM-THE-BLACK-LAGOON-Gill-Man-BUST-Asao-Goto-PRO-BUILD-UP-Best-OFFER-/261180308508).

Hope that helps. :)

You sure that's not from some cheesy low budget monster movie? It looks so familiar!

I might just be thinking of the Destination Inner Space guy?

Dirty.... Thanx for finding the full name of the artist, I pick up pieces along the way like this and am always interested in the backstory, great job finding this!

Old "hot dog mouth" from HORROR OF PARTY BEACH was probably another influence.

Lovely sculpt, it looks like one of the 'deep ones' to me.
