Hot Toys' "Weapon X" Sculptor Revealed To Be KOJUN!
Holy-heck! So the mysterious "Weapon X" - who'd sculpted the exceptional 1/6 John Connor / Christian Bale previously posted - is now revealed to be the muchco-revered Korean-sculptor KOJUN! [www] Who can forget his Jack Sparrow? And his "Old Boy" was the stuff of 1/6-custom-legends, IMHO. [UPDATED: CLICK THRU for more Kojun!]
"Kojun x Hot Toys = the unexpected 1/6 head sculpture - Last week, we've debuted our 1/6 John Connor and introduced our new sculptor – Weapon X, how many of you have been guessing who is the real person behind this mysterious name? Today, we are delighted to reveal the identity of our new sculptor – KOJUN, the Michelangelo in the 1/6 world! We are so proud to have this super talented sculptor in our Korean team! Kojun will work with us very closely and bring you more amazing works just like the 1/6 John Connor! By the way, the head sculpt of John Connor was not the final version, because Kojun said it wasn't perfect! Let's see what kind of magic he is going to show us."

Hell, I'm excited. And this turnaround image for the 400th issue of Hong Kong's MiLK (magazine layout image via Tomm) only just adds to the excitement, IMHO :)
