My Twilight Zone "Invader" FINISHED!

I wanted to sculpt an Invader from "The Twilight Zone" that was more accurate than the Sideshow Toys version. Here's the build thread:

And here's the finished figure, cast and painted:













Shown with the Sideshow version for comparison:



And the screen-used.



I'm going to start an interest thread for these in the junkyard. Finished pieces and kits.

Wow! That turned out really nice!

Can a 1:1 scale replica of Agnes Moorehead be far behind?

Fantastic job here. One of my favourite "monsters" from the series.

Man that turned out great!

Very cool! Amazing job!

Fantastic work. I enjoyed watching this little guy come together.

Well done, sir.

Thanks! Technically, it's a "scale" replica. Maybe 1:8 or so. But it's a 1:1 replica of the prop

So cool. Congrats.

Glad to see the finished result. Really enjoyed the build and it looks excellent. A great tribute to a great TV show.

Great job.

I loved the show this is awesome!!!

Haahaa,real cool,love it!

this turned out absolutely perfectly in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing the photos. Wonderful job.

Darned near perfect!

turned out great! what did you use for the antenna?

Verrry cool!

I'd like to see someone tackle this as a wearable costume!


Did they use a modified toy for the original? Reason I ask, is the mold lines that I can make out in the screen caps.

This looks great. Definitely one of my favorite episodes.

They were custom made for the show. According to Douglas Heyes, the director of the episode, they were modeled by the makeup department based on a sketch he did that was inspired by the Michelin tire man. They were cast in foam rubber and painted gold, with a split in the back so they could essentially be operated like hand puppets. Very low tech.

The antenna on my figure is made of soldered brass mesh and rods.
