OTHER INFORMATION |
Ignore the Rob Simpson name on the back of the piece, it was sculpted in the Far East from a design Rob was asked to do, he did NOT sculpt this piece Personally I don't see the need to rehash an old idea, this was done so perfectly by Andrew Bill with his Vrorst on the Throne! Also the Vrorst is terrible compared to Andrews work, he has been turned into a cartoon character! where has the realism gone from the figure. If it's not broken, don't try to fix it! The piece also lights up! and has the sound of Vrorst cackling! going into toy and tacky gift territory here I fear! OK as an expensive christmas ornament I suppose If this is what we are to expect from sculptors in the far east then I fear for the range |

The very misleading signature on the back will make people think that Rob sculpted the piece
