yes that is a Royo. The painting is called "Past Future Fog" and the statue is pretty small, about 1/8 scale and the factory paint job made her look literally like a low end blow up sex doll so I had mine repainted by Tom Ryder. It is good now. Good eye.

It did come with a Royo autographed COA which was cool and I love the painting but if you google the statue images you will see the factory paint job wasn’t very good. This was from back when that was pretty much the norm. I have attached a couple of closer images of my repainted one.

It's always fun figuring out pieces of collections that are not so mainstream pop culture focused.

The repaint matches the painting pretty well.

The Frazetta Museum has had to shut its doors to visitors because of Covid 19. But they are still shipping from their onoline store. If you were thinking about getting anything, this would be a good time to support them. This is a post they made on facebook:

HIS WILL NOT CHANGE OUR SHIPPING TIMES UNLESS THE POST OFFICE CLOSES, WHICH IT HAS NOT YET DONE; ORDERS WILL STILL SHIP OUT ON THE SAME DAY IF THEY ARE PLACED PRIOR TO 1PM!
Due to a mandate by Governor Wolf of Pennsylvania (our home state), all non-essential businesses must close for two weeks starting at midnight. This means that, as of now, our next scheduled open day will be Thursday, April 2nd. This is not something we are thrilled about, as visitors keep the lights on, but during this hectic time it's what our government is calling upon us to do.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This is unfortunately not something within our control, so we ask that you bear with us during this time. I will continue to update you here and on our website, www.frazettamuseum.com. Thank you for all of your continued support!

I ran across some just absolutely incredible and realistic paint work from a guy named Dario Barbera out of Italy. These look like (based on pics of them in his hands) to be about 1/8 to 1/6 scale and are articulateable without the visible joints (must be like stretch armstrong) but just amazing how realistic this is IMO.

Those are absolutely amazing. I would pay good money for those. Thanks for sharing.

Probably just Phicen bodies.

Just got this in from Ebay. Unfortunately the sword is broken. Trying to work with the seller on this. I will try and repair myself. Also, the pins are ridiculously hard to get in. The one I don't see any way to get it flush without breaking it. And the tiger is flush, yet the back side paws are slightly off the ground. Just seem like a bad design.

I don’t know how to attach photos in pm so am doing so here. My sword was attached fine and unbroken. Cat also fits nicely flush to the base so didn’t have any issues. I really need to dust it though .....
