Nerdy Handcrafted Figurines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Adeeb Islam’s Homemade Sculptures are One of a Kind Memorabilia

— April 6, 2013 — Pop Culture
If you’re looking for one of a kind memorabilia that will be the envy of all your geeky friends, look no further than these amazing handcrafted creations from Adeeb Md Mynul Islam.

Islam, who is also an animator for major game developer Ubisoft, creates these exquisite one of a kind memorabilia pieces that look every bit like official merchandise. His HairyAsHell Facebook page shows some very impressive projects, including hyper-detailed pieces from game franchises like Final Fantasy, Devil may Cry and Batman amongst many others. While some of the specific pieces on his Facebook page aren’t technically for sale, Islam does take on commissioned work. He charges on a case by case basis, but chances are if you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it. For those that can, you’ll end up with an amazing one of a kind memorabilia display piece that will inspire a special kind of geeky jealousy.
