July 6, 2010 : Bigger, Better, Badder, Redder

Everyone loves Deadpool these days (except me, but what do I know).  It’s obvious from all of his appearances in virtually every mainstream Marvel comic that is being published.  That means everyone wants to have their very own Deadpool figure, right?  And what could possibly be better than a Deadpool action figure?  A really BIG Deadpool action figure.  Welcome to the world of Ultimate Quarter Scale Marvel.  Yes, the 19″ scale we used for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, and Terminator 2 is now being applied to Marvel Comics.  Kicking off the new branch is the Merc with a Mouth, Wade Wilson.  I included a little pre-prototype collage for you but the eye-catcher is the fully-assembled prototype.  And, for those of you who want more, you’ll just have to wait and see additional details later (like the painted unmasked head and the weapons).  Now, giving credit where it is due, let me thank the team that made this possible - Bill Mancuso (heads), Kathy Grilli (outfit), Rudy Garcia (hands, boots, belt), Gentle Giant (weapons), Adam Smith and Irish Joe (castings), and Eddie Wires (paint).

Not only does he include a blue light-saber (a-duh), but he includes interchangeable hands and  sounds from “Revenge of the Sith!”

September 1, 2009 : The Force Is Stronger With This One

vadersmall1Once he put his pod racing behind him, Anakin Skywalker got himself some fancy new threads and a swanky Imperial job.  Here he is as he looked in A New Hope, just after vaporizing Obi-Wan.  Sure, he was a friend and mentor, but you can’t expect a Sith Lord to ever forgive being called Little Annie.


 
 
 
 

July 23, 2009 : Intolerable!

Here is the first look at Sean Connery’s head from the upcoming Henry Jones Sr. Ultimate Quarter Scale figure.  It’s about to go off to Lucas for review/approval, but I love the way it turned out so much that I had to get it photographed here first.

December 19, 2008 : Ahnold sez: I’m BACK!

Yeah, if the title of this post is suitable for all ages it means DSTChuck edited me. That’s The Man keepin’ me down. Anyway, look what we’ve got in the works kiddies! Governor Arnold on his way to a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a new LA shopping mall. Heh, just kidding. Yup, we’re going after the T2 license and we’re using this as our calling card. Don’t worry if a few details seem off, he’s a work-in-progress. This guy came together in record time, thanks to the dedicated work of my freelance crew, so we could debut him at the Dallas Toy Fair in early October. Stay tuned for more updates!
