Sacre bleu!  I believe you are thinking of Batroc the Leaper.

I like Tarantula with the mustache too, though my love stems from Twisted Toyfare Theater.  Pointy chews!

I guess the mustache was added because the character wasn't quite
cliched enough!

Can you please post from what company you ordered the anatomical statue?

••

The company is Biovere.

 

Here's a link to the sculptor of the statue's site...they have many anatomical study resources....

I might be doing some work for them soon.

How very odd that the sculptor is producing a female model along with the
male. Aside from the fact that 99% of the muscles are the same, I have to
wonder why the male is flayed down the right side, and more deeply
dissected on the left, while the female has her skin on on the right, and is
flayed on the left, rendering the figure only half as useful as the male. The
phrase "prurient interests" springs to mind.

I'm more of an old school guy when it comes to reference....here's a link to a company that has a great collection of plaster casts....see the anatomy link ecorche's and the like, and the busts and classical pieces in general are really cool, too...
