Each collectible figure is cast in Polyresin, individually hand painted, and hand numbered, making each unit similar, but distinct from the next.
“The Fetus in Skull Maquette is a beautiful, unique, piece of artwork for the Tool fan collector meant to be appreciated; but also to invoke thought, introspection, and conversation. Special accents can be found throughout the work including the third eye torch on the skull and sawblade base.
“This hand-numbered collectible is extremely rare with only 3,100 units available Worldwide. 515 Signed by band members and 2585 Unsigned. Each unit comes with matching edition numbered base art, art box, secure shipping box, and Certificate of Authenticity.
