Currently season two of The Masked Singer is running on Swedish TV channel TV4. And there is a Mechtorian in the show!
The character and costume designer for the series Pelle Magnestam decided he wanted to use one of the heads from a Mechtorian character of mine. So Fremantle Sweden who produce the show worked out a licensing deal with me for this to be possible.
The costume itself was expertly created by the Artisariumworkshop based in Sweden.
It is really interesting and refreshing to see a Mechtorian in a different medium.
The show airs on Friday nights so if you are in the region and able to tune in do check out The Spelmannen.
