Every child of the ’80s remembers the evil Skeletor from the Masters of the Universe cartoon. He caused no end of trouble for He-Man and now there’s a nearly life-sized version of the villain, molded and sculpted based on the original action figure. All he needs now is a life-sized He-Man to battle.

Although Cthulhu may not be real, the bones used in this sculpture are real animal bones. We’ve seen an amazing alien facehugger from Forgotten Boneyard but I think this combination of mink, raccoon and beaver bones may be even scarier.

Some sculptors are exceedingly talented at creating busts that capture the likeness of the subject. Steve Scotts did it with a freakishly real Ellen Ripley sculpt, and Jordu Schell has done it with this Spock sculpture. It was made with silicone, hair, fabric, and carefully applied paint. He looks like he could start talking about logical things at any minute.

I really think all you need to read are the words “giant steampunk dragon” to know this is something you’re going to want, but my editor insists I write up a description anyway. This made-to-order sculpture by Kreatworks measures an astounding 10.8′ tall by 9′ long by 10′ wide and is constructed out of recycled metal and auto parts. This monster weighs in at over 880 pounds! The one in the pictures was sold, but he will custom make one just for you at the monster price of $11,500.

This collection of sand sculptures is part of an annual competition in the British town of Weston-super-Mare. Although the competition happens this weekend, they’ve been working on these masterpieces for two-weeks to get them ready. The theme this year was Hollywood so there’s a wonderful collection of pop culture faces including a giant Davy Jones squeezing the life out of Jack Sparrow that may give me nightmares.

This fantastic steampunk version of GizmoDuck from the classic cartoon Duck Tales makes me wish they’d remake the old cartoon with this guy as the star. It was made by DeviantArtist Timbone out of super sculpey firm along with plastic rod and tube. He then painted this 9″ statue with acrylic paint and it looks incredible.

This Optimus Prime might not be transforming anytime soon since, you know, he’s made out of nothing more than cardboard, duct tape and glue—but it is an impressive work nonetheless.
In fact, pwarner184 had better get that thing inside because I hear it rains quite a bit in the UK. Seems to us that Optimus could be defeated with a little drizzle.

This Alien Queen ice sculpture made by Koji Kareki & Kei Sakugawa is currently an entry in the Winterlude 2013 Ice Sculpture contest in Ottawa, Canada. It’s just one of the amazing entries in the contest and you can cast a vote for it to win, but I say just give them the prize now before the thing manages to come to life and kill everyone.

Of all the creatures in Final Fantasy, Chocobos are the most adorable. I adore the little fluffy companions and that they are a constant in the game. A Chocobo fan commissioned artist Jenna Antonelli to sculpt one of the feathered animals, and the end result is extremely huggable (well, it would be if it wasn’t made from clay).
Look at more of Chocobo after the break.
