Hello Everyone,
My name is Douglas Hildebrandt and I do design work for Factory Entertainment. I was honored to have a few of my pieces I designed at Comic Con at the Factory Entertainment booth including Mount Kissmore statues and Factory Entertainments Frankenstein VFX bust/prop with lights and sound. The newest piece I have designed is a KISS Gene Simmons life-size bust that premiered at Comic Con. It was shown to Gene at Comic Con and he was "Amazed" and very pleased with the piece. He kept touching the resin sweat and rubbing his fingers together expecting them to be wet.

Factory Entertainment is planning on officially licensing this bust for production. The overall theme is Gene Simmons in concert circa 1976 Destroyer era during his bass solo. This piece is tentatively called "Gene Simmons "God of thunder" bust. It depicts the "Demon" with smeared and rubbed make up, sweat and spitting blood. The production piece will have a base with green lights shining up onto the face just like Gene during his bass solos. The hair is synthetic and hand laid. The eyes are rolled back and glow in the dark. It has a leather studded collar also. I have made up a couple of these prototypes and we might send one to Simmons for his personal collection. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.....thanks for looking....Douglas (Hildebeast)

His opening line?
"How are they... errr, I mean 'you' ?"
classic Gene.
 
I saw this at the North Texas Prop party back in February and it's crazy realistic in person. And creepy, like Gene is right there. Spot on likeness.

Glad Gene liked it, Congratulations !
 
I do have to ask...

What is with that lip pucker thing he does in all his photos? :lol he does it everytime.

Great work, the bust looks awesome!! (I know... That's what he said to the Dr after his wife's boob job :lol)
 
Hey Douglas! I saw this at SDCC and I was blown away! (I do work with Factory also - I did the Creature from the Black Lagoon hand replica they had there) Your frankenstein bust also is just killer!!!! Great work!!!
 
Hello Tyler,

I'm glad you like my work... I can't wait to see what you did with the Creature from the black lagoon claw for Factory Entertainment. We have some other new items at Factory Entertainment that will blow people away when they are released....................Douglas
