"This new 1:5 scale Gillman Maquette measures roughly 16.5" tall, 11.25" wide and 12.5" deep when fully assembled – from the bottom of the base to the top of the head, to the furthest out points of the base and figure."
"This fully sculpted polyresin statue comes with Gillman lurking out of the water in an amazon-like environment – a predator stalking his prey, ready to strike… Surrounded by plant life and other life-like creatures, this Gillman is sculpted and painted with super intricate and realistic details, as if this beast is as real as the snakes, turtles, and frogs who are right there with him… This Gillman Maquette also comes with two unique portraits, one more "Classic" and one more "Modern", giving creature and horrors fans the option to display him any way they like."
