Let me be the first to say - WOW!  Awesome job!!!

[Gillman-Fan]

Aw, thanks!

I figure, if you have a Sideshow Dracula/Lugosi bust, you're going to want one of these. Maybe people who are into costuming and full-size display figure will dig this too. I think my price points are very reasonable even in these trying economical times.

Also available will be a Sterling silver casting w/optional gold-plating. When I get a production quote on this, I'll post that info too.

That is a GREAT SCULPT!

I have Googled many images (or tried to) and since there
are not really too many detailed pix of this,
(and no-one can really say exactly what it looks like)
I would say it is quite accurate!

I will definitely buy some of these for some my Bela Busts!

Let me just that these look AMAZING!!!!!!! Great work!!!!!!!!

That looks great Jeff! May I ask what source material you used for sculpting the medallion? How close do you feel it is to the original? Very intrigued.

I re-read through all of the posts from the first images posted, blown up images from the original medallion and have to say it's pretty remarkable.  Are you making them with a ring so a ribbon can be attached?

Are you making them with a ring so a ribbon can be attached?

Good question, I was wondering the same thing.

[Gillman-Fan]

There is indeed a small metal ring mounted on the back of these which I added after taking the initial photos. It's slightly smaller than the original but serves the same function.

I've no intention of offering a ribbon in the near future but might consider it for the Sterling silver run.

As for the authenticity of this piece, my personal feeling is that it's a conservative 80% accurate in regards to the original. The actual size/scale can never be verified and the details on the center circular motif are simply too obscure IMO. I've taken some creative liberty in the interest of being the first person to get this to market. I used many of the movie screen shots posted on this very site for reference and if you were to go back through the various posts/threads you'll see my process work and whatnot.

Great work!

[Gillman-Fan]

Thank you very much!

I've already gotten a handful of orders and plenty of tire-kickers . . . hopefully I'll be able to sell a few more between now and say Halloween of this year.

I think we should all support Gillman in this venture, no one has up till now taken this idea to this level, and all of us have always been intrigued about this memorable missing movie relic. Mario

Honestly, I took this project on because I was simply shocked to find nothing else out there. I'll be the first one to say that my effort leaves room for improvement/refinement but someone had to "take the reigns" as it were. While it was being discussed (ad nauseam) by others, I sat down and actually cranked something out.

Also, as a point of personal pride, I'm not gouging anyone with the pricing. I'm making this available in a wide rage of options so virtually any fan (regardless of budget/income) can enjoy these. I consider myself a true fan in the sense that I want to share my efforts and advance this monster culture as a whole.

My first small run has already sold out! Thanks to everyone for their patronage.

I'll be doing another small batch later this week, PM me if you're interested.

For what it's worth, I just had the prop master from a major motion picture order FOUR of my medallions for use in their upcoming production.
