Day of the dead 'bub" zombie lifesized fiberglass bust
« on: May 02, 2012, 06:23:00 am »
Hi guys. I got this a few weeks ago. It's a lifesize  "bub" bust from the original day of the dead movie. It's made of fiberglass and has custom glass eyes. I have seen a few versions of this guy around but this one is my favorite and I like that it's fiberglass rather than latex so I won't have to worry about it rotting, He's already decomposed just the right amount (:

Thanks, these are hand made by a dude that owns a halloween mask company, he put out the mass produced latex bub,dr tongue killer klowns and to many others to name that you see on ebay and in stores now he's also doing fiberglass pieces of some of his popular designs for collectors.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

As a huge Bub fan (Day of the Dead is my favorite Dead film....Capt Rhodes is the ---smurfing--- man!), I think it's cool that you have it, but it looks nothing like him.

I think the resemblence is there but the coloring is questionalble. Bub looks pale blue in some scenes and pale green in others or even grey at times. I thought about getting him done in blue gray but decided on the green.

Yeah, I would've gone pale blue. The color choice definitely throws me off.
