LOVE the repaint! Just one note: It isn't a bird's foot at Jack's waist. It's a dried monkey's paw. A monkey's paw has magical properties. This is from Wikipedia:

"The Monkey's Paw" is a horror short story by author W. W. Jacobs. It was published in England in 1902.

The story is based on the famous "setup" in which three wishes are granted. In the story, the paw of a dead monkey is a talisman that grants its possessor three wishes, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate.

****

I wonder how many wishes Jack has used? Or is that why he got eaten by the giant squid that one time?

Hi and thanks! I appreciate your note, and you may very well be right, but have to say though that, after the release of the movie, there were popular magazine photos and descriptions that said it was a chicken foot:

The scale model toys out there and all the ebay lifesize replica sales describe this item as a chicken foot as well... as seen here:

Hot Toys call it a "duck's foot/monkey claw. So I guess there is confusion on this item.

I just went with the way it was mostly described.
I appreciate your input!
