Was this sculpt ever released? Tried looking for info but failed miserably. The creator of the Boglins said he just found the old mold for it the other day and asked if it was ever actually made before.
The Boglin King?

Does he want to sell the mold?
No idea. He still makes toys now though so maybe he could use it to make some.

I had a chat with Tim over a year ago, on Instagram, about this... he said the same to me. Perhaps that's the chat you found?
He found the mold, asked if it had ever been released.
Apparantly the mold is a bit knackered.
For a while I chased him about fixing it up...but he does want to do it, eventually.
There are other difficulties because he's not the sole owner of the trademark so it'd take some work to find out how he can sell any King Minis.
There are two others... Seven Towns (toy inventors) and Maureen Trotto.
He did say he was going to do it but he gets caught up with other projects I think!
In fact I even offered to take the mold and fix it up myself once!
I think I pestered him enough back then but I might drop him another email. It'd be good to see a photo of it.
I'm sure there'd be a few takers on this site, even if he just makes a few unofficial resin castings!

yeah he mentioned it on the Mini Figure Militia facebook page a couple of days ago
he said it was suposed to be the little guy on the bottom of this leaflet
that would be so cool to see a new boglin made out of the original mold

I'm not a fan of this figure line but that king is an awesome sculpt.

Yeah it looks fairly true to the original sketch!
I was never quite sure if he really did have the original sculpt like he told me he did... this may just be a fun bit of marketing.
I think the existence of the original sketch makes it cannon in my opinion.
The new zombies mentioned in the other thread on the other hand I'm not too sure about... all new boglins, do they have the same magic to them?
Even the names pencilled in next to the concepts aren't proper mini-boglin names....
Of course I'll still be trying to get hold of them so this is just existential little rubber toy nonsense. Not forgetting off topic

yep, you can definitely see the cushions are exactly the same design. it almost looks like he is holding a ball in the picture too. are you still in talks with him about getting it made?

He's releasing it in November this year with Clutter magazine, alongside the zombies I think.

So... Did the "manufacturing difficulties" skrew up the boglin king release?
I hope we'll eventually get four more zombie boglins to complete the tribe, aswell as the king. Someday maybe...
