We’ve been keeping these Feratu Friends resincast toys a secret for way too long.

I’ve been sculpting on them for what seems like months. Though they were started way back this spring, I ran into all kinds of casting troubles and foibles, which then was made worse when my original got knocked onto the floor by my son, shattering it.

A couple of months later my frustration abated, and I went back to salvaging the project, resulting in these 10 poison bearer idols, fresh and ready for the San Diego Comic-Con.

This first release in copper will be our SDCC exclusive and the first new resin cast from Steam Crow since 2005.

Each Friend idol stands 5 and a half inches tall, and is quite a hefty piece of cast resin. They’re hand painted in steampunk copper, and each one is unique with their own distressing, fault lines, and cracks.

Individual idols hold a tiny little poison flask (empty) which it butlers on a teeny tiny platter. They’re modeled on the Feratu bloodsuckers, from Steam Crow’s Monster Commute webcomic.

10 will be on sale at the Steam Crow Booth at the San Diego Comic-Con, #4207 for $50 each.
