I have a bogeyman in my campaign that the players haven't encountered yet.
My players have only heard he's Mister Redfingers.
He actually has the implacable stalker template, so he's kind of like a bogeyman with the volume turned up.
Since he's named Mister Redfingers, and bogeymen have claw attacks, I am looking for a clawed figure. I kind of want him to look big (but still medium-sized), like a horror movie slasher, but without the hockey mask or machete/cleaver/chainsaw.
You guys know any metal minis that might fit that bill? If he has a mouth full of teeth like the Bestiary 3's bogeyman art, that's even better.
I looked at the male minis on Reaper's website, but I didn't see anything I liked that didn't seem like it was going to require replacing the hands.
What about the Skinsaw Man?

You might be able to remove the items in his hands if you don't like them.
I did buy Skinsaw Man with an eye toward conversion but I decided not to use him.
I ultimately decided to use a Reaper nosferatu miniature that was unarmed. He looks kind of like he's draped in a blanket. There are rats on the miniature (in keeping with nosferatu association with rats), but I'm going to treat them as a manifestation of the bogeyman's fear aura. I painted the blanket/shaw/cloak in dirty pink and purple stripes. I tried to paint him with a bit of pinkish hue to his skin so I hope he looks less undead and more fey. As for why he "resembles" a nosferatu, I do have a nosferatu in the campaign that is ultimately intended as the BBEG, and I just figure bogeymen sometimes take on cosmetic traits of the scariest things in their regions so this particular bogeyman has a passing resemblance to a nosferatu.
The miniature I've painted for him is using the Matthias The Twisted (SKU 02867) model from here:

Would a Necron "Flayed one" have worked. from 40K They are like a robot with huge claws wearing someone's skin

Not really. Specifically looking for metal miniatures. Also, I looked at some pictures of the Necron Flayed One and what I saw looked too robotic for my use.
I have the Matthias The Twisted miniature from Reaper Miniatures now, and painted to serve my purpose, but I've also ordered a "Hurdy-Gurdy Man" from Crooked Dice Games to see if he might be a better fit for a bogeyman. He looked like he might be a good fit, but I can't tell what he's holding in his hand in the product picture. Still waiting on that shipment to arrive from the UK to inspect the miniature myself.
