BY CROM, WHAT A STATUE!

Scheduled for release in early 2025 is this magnificent statue based on the image of Conan and Valeria from the original movie poster by Italian painter, Renato Casaro. The likenesses are better than a lot of other character statues I've seen.

Conan the Barbarian (1982) 25 Inch Tall Poster Tribute Statue Arnold Schwarzenneger Sandal Bergman

Based on the iconic film poster painted by Renato Casaro for the 1982 fantasy epic Conan the Barbarian, the mighty warrior is brought to life with Static Six: Conan the Barbarian!

Conan the Barbarian statue translates Renato Casaro’s art style into a three-dimensional tribute to his classic film poster: Conan stands triumphantly atop rocky terrain, wielding the Atlantean Sword toward the sky. Ready to strike in his signature helmet and chained gladiator loincloth, Conan is accompanied by the fearless brigand Valeria, who fiercely thrusts her sword into the ground.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN FEATURES:

Approximately 25 inches tall from base to the top of Atlantean Sword x 8 inches wide
Hand painted hyper-realistic detailing
Sculpted fur accents

Retail price: $375.00

A NOSFERATU FOR YOU

Lurking in the midnight shadows in the rat-infested city of Bremen is this stunningly grotesque figure of Nosferatu, the vampire!

Twenty years ago, Mezco Toyz released a series of monster action figures collectively named Silent Screamers, that were based on monsters of the silent silver screen. One of them was from the 1922 German film, NOSFERATU, A SYMPHONY OF HORROR.

This 20th anniversary high-end version goes a step further with a new sculpt and new accessories to commemorate one of the eeriest -- and scariest -- film monsters of all time!

From the manufacturer:

Continuing our 20th anniversary celebrations with a call-back to one of the first figures Mez ever produced, Nosferatu joins the One:12 Collective.

Inspired by the poster art for the 1922 film ‘Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror’, the original “Count Orlok” figure was sculpted by Stephan Linder. The One:12 Collective Nosferatu is a reimagined tribute to the original figure.

The One:12 Collective Nosferatu includes a lot of accessories inspired by the film that were not part of the original Silent Screamers release, as well as a brand new sculpt by sculptor Chu Ka Wa – a member of our Hong Kong team who worked in collaboration with Mez handling art direction. Nosferatu wears a coat, tights, and leather shoes, as represented in the original movie poster artwork. The infamous vampire features three head portraits capturing his inhuman visage, with long, rat-like fangs and pointed ears.

Nosferatu comes complete with a removable hat, a lantern that he can hold in his nightmare-inducing claw-like hands, a rat-infested coffin and lid that he can lay inside, a set of castle keys on a metal ring, and six rats.

Nosferatu is packaged in a retro-style tin lunchbox with art inspired by the animated cartoons of yesteryear; perfect for those long road trips to the Carpathian mountainsides of Transylvania.

THIS EXCLUSIVE BUNDLE CONTAINS:

Nosferatu T-shirt - featuring original art of Nosferatu that is sure to please discerning horror fans, this t-shirt is a screen printed, super soft, poly-cotton blend.
Nosferatu “Film Cell” - a limited edition, 0.7mm thick cell that features a scene from the stop-motion trailer used in marketing this figure - depicting the Mezco version of the infamous stairway scene. Presented in a protective card stock holder, this unique memento mori is suitable for framing to display in your casket. (Film cell purposely features a weathered effect. You may notice minimal variations.)
