After seeing perpetual Presidental candidate Vermin Supreme on the “Lesser Known Candidate’s Forum” back in 2012, I just had to make a statue of this crazy looking dude who wears a boot for a hat. I reached out to Mr. Supreme to show him what I made and much to my surprise he responded with a request for copies of the sculpture! At the time I had not yet started making molds but when a Presidential candidate like Mr. Supreme asks for copies, well, you make copies. It was a push by Vermin Supreme that got me into mold making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a token of his appreciation, Vermin Supreme sent me one of his own creations. Behold Raticus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Vermin Supreme for the weirdest package I’ve ever received!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
