Sorry this one took so long to get up! I hope you like them. Also, question, if I were to post full detailed stories on all of the Mutants on my website, would you be interested in reading them? There are so many details that don't make it into the videos bc of time constraints. Lemme know! Thank you for being here ❤

I can see how these three would work together for body disposal, too. Carving up the meat, grinding bones to flour, rendering fat for candles. Very creepy trio

And giving organs to the Ice Cream Man so he can give them to the Chef.
They look like they would sing a "villain song" in the animated movie. The Baker being a bass, Butcher being a tenor, and The Candlestick Maker being a wispy old-man alto. Their "song" being in what order each of them gets to work on their next victim.
I love how ace is still doing his own thing, a lot of KZreadrs with such talent like this would eventually resort to solely making Friday night funkin, mascot horror, etc characters that would generate the most views. This is probably one of the most creative characters I have seen yet! The fact that you used a real old nursery rhyme makes it feel like one of those old stories you would hear as a kid like Bloody Mary or the candy man, but it’s original and I just love that! Please keep making the stuff that makes you happy and don’t let the algorithm puppeteer you, like was the fate of many others
If these characters were added into Little Nightmares, I would be terrified yet fascinated at the same time! Keep up the great work on sculpting more new Nightmare Characters!
You should get with a cartoon maker and have a series. Every character gets their own 5 minute episode of how they changed and what they do. I think it'll be super cool to see them in action
The butcher reminds me of the barber fred from courage the cowardly dog. Excellent work, love it
I have not watched the full series but this storyline has peaked my interest. If you ever do a Clergy theme an interesting take could be See no evil, hear no evil speak no evil. three entities that rely on each other to be one being. the character that can speak can't hear or see, the one that sees can't hear or speak, and the character that hears can't speak or see. they would be three bodies back to back with their heads fusing together a bit to allow thought between each.

If he didn't wanna make a three Headed being again a cool idea could be one head but 3 sets of arms that each cover one feature and it's like only one can reveal one feature at a time?? Maybe even do a pan's and put the features on the hands?? Idk just thinkin of how a fun spin on this could go

Maybe he could have a stitched up face and a floating eyeball halo like a biblically accurate angel. Or he could do three characters, the judge, jury, and the executioner. The judge could be blindfolded and holding up scales with the powdered wig and robes. The jury could be twelve tophatted talking heads looking like they're in an argument , and the executioner would be hooded, with stitches where his mouth and ears should be. If course he'd have his axe
Man, you just keep getting better and even more creative. Because of the nursery rhyme I keep picturing them in a tub of blood.
Despite having become so detached from where they started.. the sculptures cling to those old words that formed them. Nightmares. Little clay nightmares.
I love all of your pieces, but there is just something magical you bring to your original designs compared to your twisted version of established characters. Those are all fun, but your Hidden World pieces are just beyond amazing.
I'm madly in love with this series! I rewatched them recently and even made a list with some opinions about the mutants. Mutants: 1. The Ice Cream Man 2. The Photographer 3. The Seamstress (my favorite story!) 4. The Farmer (not the fan of one side of his story - him being able to mimic loved ones does not fit him being a farmer, the rest of concept is great). 5. The Mother 6. The Mantis 7. The Chef 8. The Red Lady 9. The Nanny 10. The Barber/The Warm (also not the biggest fan, as him being able to dig underground tunnels has nothing to do with him being a barber) 11. The Parasite 12. The Ice Cream Man's Sister Murda 13. The Headmaster 14. The Silly Willy (so different, yet I don't mind it and story applies him well into the universe) 15. The Sculptor 16. The Collectrix (I have forbidden naughty thoughts of this mutant, even though these thoughts might be my last...) 17. The Bellhop 18. The Inkeeper 19. The Mailman 20. The Electrician 21. The Author (my second favorite one).

Guides: 1. Pumpkin Head/Rabbit Guide 2. Otto/Racoon Guide 3. Whisper/Cat Guide (still waiting for repaint of a mask from wood to ceramic, just like the others) 4. The Wolf Guide (I'm probably an idiot, but I don't believe he was given a name??) 5. Windsor/The Owl Guide 6. Graylock/The Bear Guide (this one's a masterpiece) Other Good Guys: 1. Mr Smile (he was supposed to be a guide, but I don't know how I feel about him. He's too different, therefore I put him into separate category) Other Beings: 1. Dollfaces (this one is creepy and very well done. Alice: Madness Returns has monsters, who'd feel good friends with this one) 2. The Pumpkin Eaters The Wonderers: (this is one of the best ideas in this channel. And this channel is full of great ideas): 1. Deprimere 2. Angor (this one's me) 3. Mangle Anti-Mutants (I wish this to be revisited and expanded, so far we have one, if I'm correct) 1. The Tailor
Hey awesome as always, keep it up! Can you do an art room tour and show all sculptures in one video? That would be amazing!

I think he did that for the 2023 recap, no?
I think a bit of head-cannon lore for the "skull" on every mutant is that it's the entity's mark, showing that the mutants belong to it, as the entity seems to enjoy its own theatrics.
They are a masterpiece! And yes, I think we would all LOVE to read the full story!
I would absolutely love to see you add a pet keeper/breeder to this series- something even as simple as sort of a mad scientist breeder who kept combining creatures to make more and more disturbing creatures has soooo much potential and sadly my disabilities prevent me from trying my hand at making. These just keep getting more and more creative and Im all here for it!
Anthony, you've outdone yourself on this one. Love the details. I've grown to really love how you creepify things. The Hidden World is now one of my favorite places! 😊
Absolutely love this!!! So talented! Just had an idea for another mutant. "The Chauffeur". A man who drives his ghostly car and sends his passengers to their fate over a cliff. He never dies which leads to him repeating this process over and over. Just an idea. Anyway great job! Keep the videos coming!!!

Your idea is SO GOOD, I love the concept.
They looks scary yet perfect, I wonder what other scary nightmare monsters you have in stored & tell their story, see you next time Ace of Clay.
These characters need to be in a game. I can see it being a Little Nightmares inspired game- but seriously these characters keep getting cooler and more menacing!
Brilliant! I love them/him. And thanks for the memory of a nursery rhyme that my granddad taught me. I'm 70 so it's a while ago lol.
7:00 getting very courage the cowardly dog vibes with the barber cousin. “Very naaaaaaughtyyyyyy” 😂
I love the thought of them fighting while trying to sew their shirt together lol
I love watching you sculpt, your imagination is fascinating! it makes me want to try sculpting but am too nervous to start.
The way that the main camera was moving throughout the process really made him come to life. He's watching you 👀
I love your take on this! Enough to emotionally scar any child 😂 I really love the faces and the how they are each different but still go together 👌
Idk if this was intentional but I LOVE the way the baker’s face has a little bit more life to it with the pink blush on the cheeks and nose. It makes sense to me because his head is closer to the body/heart. Its almost like the other two heads, being more like appendages than heads, have less blood flow
Man, I would love to see your interpretation of a genie swirling out of a toilet bowl (genie wearing a Mario like hat and a Fu Manchu) towering over a frightened plumber who unknowingly activated the genie's presence while servicing the crapper.
I love if I remember correctly this started by making things for the actual little nightmare games then it just rolled to be its own thing, I find that very beautiful
I will never hear that rhyme again without thinking about this sculpt. 😆
Haven’t watched a vid in a while and I love how he’s started hiding his sculptures a bit instead of showing the end product at the start even tho I would prefer if he didn’t show anything
The chefs curly mustache is absolutely superb!
This is such a great edition to the mutant universe! The trio is awesome! The butcher gives me Courage the Cowardly Dog vibes.
Would the Chef and the Baker just work together? Like they both just get things for each other, the other guys would just be sitting there doing nothing.
A great return to form, I cheered when you added the candle on his hat.
Wow Anthony, this is so cool. I love the 3 heads idea! Are you taking suggestions for new mutants? I have one you might like. He's called the Zookeeper. Obviously he was a zookeeper before he got attacked by the entity and his soul merged with those of his beloved zoo animals. His mutant form is humanoid but with animal features (claws, pointed canine ears, yellow eyes etc - maybe tusks like a walrus?) and has animal senses (hightened eyesight, hearing etc). His hunting style is very animalistic, stalking his prey on all fours and pouncing like a big cat. He's also very good at climbing trees like a monkey so he can also attack from above.
Worth the wait man, this is one of my favorites of yours!!
Is this becoming a Netflix show? Or a comic book? Because this needs to happen so bad I’m soo hooked on this
I wonder how the Entity thought of this one. Maybe they had shops all right next to each other and thought it'd be funny to morph them together instead of making them separate
I spent the entirety of this video wondering how I've seen The Butcher before... he has an uncanny resemblance to Freaky Fred from Courage the Cowardly Dog! It's sooo good!!!
They-Them. Interesting how it works for the Butcher the Baker and Candlestick Maker.
A good idea is to sculpt your version of sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.
Anthony as we say in my part of the world, Sir u out did yourself. The sculpture is phenomenal and yes i would love to read your mutant stories.
Haven't watched your channel in a while as life has been a LOT, but what an amazing video to come back to! I love this design!!!! Always been a fan of the mutant series and it looks like I have loads to catch up on. This has got to be one of my favourite mutants. Macabre, creepy historical vibe, unique, ghoulish, everything I love about the mutant series.
Wow! Just watching how the facial features come to life under your hands! Just WoW!
What an incredible sculpt, so detailed. I just love it and your stories are so creative. Just love your videos! What talent .
I love watching your sculpting videos, not only do you give us a fantastic creature to watch come to life. But also a story to entertain us, what more could anyone want? Maybe a plushie, or at the very least a sticker!🤭
The Butcher has big Freaky Fred vibes, from Courage the Cowardly Dog Show, with his big old grin. Gives me an idea! Why don't you sculpt up some of the characters from the show, they're right up your alley!

@aceofclay how did I forget that you did? I actually watched them back then. Maybe it's because you make so many. You should do more then, like I'd love to see your interpretation of Courage himself, screaming maybe? Or maybe a group of Eustace, Muriel, and Courage, IDK, or another bady like Kats.
I like to think that these three could also have the three "No evils" worked into their designs The Butcher is Mute (a mask covers their mouth) The Baker is Deaf (the noise of grinding flour damaged their ears) And The Candlestick Maker is Blind (the flames of burning candles damades their old eyes)
I think they look amazing. I think it would be really cool though if you added a LED to the candle on his hat that you could turn on and off.
This is beyond incredible, great job!
There needs to be a stop motion film of your creations. Sooo good!
🙌🙌🙌 thank you for another wonderful sculpt! You rock!
I can't be the only person that wants to see you be a DM for a game of D&D.
For the first 2/3 of it, the Butcher was dangerously close to Freaky Fred.

Tim Burton, Henry Selick, or anyone at Laika need to get in contact with you about taking this mutant universe to the screen. This universe would be a great movie or even a tv show in stop motion
Exquisite work from the combination of parts and the execution of the sculpting to the finishing touches of metallic paint. This is now my absolute favourite mutant!
I've been watching this series ever since it started, and this definitely has to be my top favorite design!!!
There’s so many fine details in your sculptures, do you feel sometimes your fingers get in the way. I also love your work.
i love the characters of your mutant universe; the guide n the mutants are all so unique. they’ve all got their own stories, personalities, n such a wide variety of appearances its so fun to see them all come together
I would definitely like to hear some more back stories about the sculptures you do.... And longer videos like the Big Krampus you done or the Epic Ice King you did... Where you make the robes out of cloth and it takes more than a day to make... Awesome video was definitely well worth waiting for.... Heres to you and yours 2 legged and 4 legged as well....
I am always in awe of your work. Every time you upload a new video of your work, it astounds me all the time. Thank you so much for your awesomeness and your talent.
AAAAACCCCEEEEE!!!! MAN..... out of the park my man! This is so dope for the Hidden World. I love the story and the little exh: 0022 tag. This world is growing man, please keep it going. 💪💪💪💪💪💪
I absolutely love this idea you made here it fits so well with the story
Haven't seen your videos in my feed for ages. Glad I caught this one. Nice work 💯
I love hearing your voice read the story! Amazing sculpture!
They are so fun. I love the lore. Keep it up, I always look forward to your posts!
This is so great! You basically did 3 sculptures at once!
It's been a little bit since I've watched your videos, this one is really cool and creepy. I need to catch up on your mutant universe
Amazing work as always! 👍
This is amazing. Love the story you created with these guys.
They are pretty cool! I love what you did! It’s awesome!
This is amazing!!! I like it!! So creative!
This is sick! I absolutely love this piece! ❤
Hi Ace of Clay! Just wanted to say that you've inspired me to make my own characters with their own unique backstories and plot twists. I love your videos, and how each character is different from the last. Thank you ♥
Love the twist of puttin them all togeather as one. 😊👍❤
Your talent of sculpting and stories get better and better. Their faces were perfect for the occupations. Who would ever think to put these three from childrens tales to this monster. Only you with your thought process. What an imagination you have. This sculpture was great!
THIS WAS GREAT! So much fun!

No apologies needed!! I am so so glad you are back into your hidden world!!!!! You did this one absolutely amazing. You can definitely see how much you love your hidden world by your sculpts and the stories behind them.
Ace of Clay - Dude, you are just out of this world - man with a gift from another solar system - stinkin' cool. Thank you. Thank you 4 sharing your gift with us. Take as much time as you wanna. Suits me just fine. Stay pretty.
I love this sculpt!! the details are amazing! and the story superbly creepy! I ended up neglecting the 20-some claws I was sculpting to watch this lol, worth it.
i think it would of added perfectly to this gruesome sculpt if you had added spots of blood on all their tools
Another fantastic sculpt
So so worth the wait. Never apologise. Just amazing. ❤
This was such a cool idea. Totally worth waiting for 😂
This is my first time watching one of your videos and from this sculpture I think you encompass a don’t starve like style. Gonna go watch more 😊

I can just imagine these guys trying to go three different ways at once cuz they think they hear people but it’s just kids messing with them. (Btw it looks like the handle stick maker is confused about what’s on the bakers hat and the butcher is gonna kill the baker. Oh and the baker looks sick of them.)
What a cool concept I love him… them… they. your work is so inspiring
Love the sculpture, all your creations seem to have a motive and purpose, I really love that the mutant universe has a story and background ❤ I hope someday there could be a whole mutant universe book/ Comic series, that would be so cool. Or even have a figures that I can collect 😮❤😊
Best sculpture so far ❤
