Originally, they were gonna force K & J to sculpt a 3/4 size - thankfully, they agreed to let them pull a casting off the original mold. I have to stress again, that these are castings off the ORIGINAL MOLD - which is one degree removed from Rolly Crump's original sculpture! In other words, this is as close as you can get to a real one - all the details will be exact... I'm very excited!
