Replica KISS Altar Cats “Tom & Jerry”

Description

Custom made, limited edition, exact replicas of the Altar Cats that guarded Peter Criss’s drum kit on the 1976 KISS: Destroyer tour.

Only 6 of each in 12″ or 15″. Finished 3D print with satin black paint, glow in the dark eyes, metallic chain and cross OR raw 3D print that you can leave as is or sand and paint with your own flair!

The two cat statues that flanked Peter Criss’s drum kit during the 1976 Destroyer tour were reportedly named Tom and Jerry.

They were also referred to as the “Altar Cats” due to their placement on his elevated riser, which was themed to match his “Catman” persona. While the first set of sleeker, Egyptian-style cats (Tom and Jerry) were stolen early in the tour, the replacement set—which were bulkier and featured fangs – are the ones most commonly seen in later footage from that era, including the Paul Lynde Halloween Special.

Interestingly, the original “Tom and Jerry” were missing for decades before being discovered in an Atlanta suburb, where they were being used as Halloween decorations!
