Description

Super Soapies Crimson Ghost (Misfits) Wax Sculpt Prototype (Super7, 2020s). This original wax sculpt prototype represents an unproduced Crimson Ghost figure from Super7's Super Soapies line-a loving tribute to the squeaky-clean bubble bath bottle characters of the 1960s. Sculpted in wax and never taken to final production, this one-of-a-kind piece channels both nostalgic whimsy and punk rock attitude, capturing the skull-faced icon long associated with the Misfits in a clever and unexpected format. Super Soapies reimagined bubble bath bottles as collectible figures, often using vintage silhouettes and pop culture properties. The Crimson Ghost prototype retains the oversized, rounded container shape typical of the line, but with careful sculptural detail emphasizing the menacing skeletal grin, flowing hood, and signature crossed arms of the cult film and punk icon. Crafted in reddish-pink wax, this prototype shows the level of planning and artistry that goes into the earliest stages of toy design. As this figure appears to have never moved beyond the prototype stage, it offers collectors an extraordinary opportunity to own a completely unique piece of Super7 and Misfits-related toy history. Whether you're a fan of horror imagery, vintage packaging aesthetics, or underground music ephemera, this unproduced sculpt is a hauntingly cool addition to any collection.
