Konaki-jijii(こなきじじい,Old man crys like a baby) is often found crying in remote mountain recesses where no babies ought to be found. When a kind-hearted traveler picks this illusory child up to comfort it, the konaki-jiji reverts to its true form, increasing its weight to 50 and then 100 kan (about 188 and 376 kilograms) and crushing the life out of the unfortunate person.Konaki-jijii resembles an old man, but it first appears in the form of a baby.Although some stories report that he crushes those who hold him, other insist that he when is dropped, the person remains stunned and surprised. It is also said that if someone can hold Konaki-jijii regardless of his weight, that they will be rewarded with magical gifts.
Here's my Konakijijii action figure.I sculpted his head from Air-dry clay over a CTVT Mad Clowns head.For the body I used a CTVT Child's body.My wife(Tomoko)made his little traditional style Babies bib from some red shorts material and his Grass(straw) cloak from some Twine rope.I converted a CTVT Robin hood staff with the clay for his staff.I painted all sculpted parts with acrylics and sealed with MpdPodge.
