Play With This Too
Bitemark is an original vampire character created by Play With This Too. His head design is inspired by the Pretender shell for Generation 1 Bomb-Burst.
He carries a scythe weapon and has a Tech Drone partner named D-Kay.
Development
Bitemark and D-Kay were designed by Steve Redinger. D-Mon were modeled by Peer Brauner.
Bitemark was announced in November 2014.
In February 2015 Play With This Too released images of the prototype for Desolataur, which included several parts used on Bitemark.
Play With This Too started a Kickstarter crowd funding campaign on February 27th, 2015. It offered several figures as backer rewards, including Bitemark, and had a funding goal of $80,000. The campaign ended short of its goal with only $71,625 pledged.[1]
In June 2015 Play With This Too announced they would be doing another Kickstarter. Bitemark would not be among the figures offered in this Kickstarter, and it was being reworked to offer more articulation.[2]

Fictional biography
The most loyal (or perhaps the only loyal) servant of King Coldfang, Bitemark seeks his master's favor by devoting his unlife to the hunt for Bloodbath. Traveling the galaxy in his Starcophagus, he longs for the day he delivers Bloodbath's severed head to his king. A born toady, Bitemark lies, grovels and feigns weakness constantly, keeping his eventual victims off-guard and unprepared for his attack. When he walks a world with one or more full moons he gains the ability to dissolve into a crimson mist that can surround an opponent and drain their life essence.
