It has been released before in a smaller scale. I don't remember who sculpted it. But I was disappointed by the way it came out so I didn't buy it back then.
Over the years I regretted it many times, because after all this is one of the best Frazetta paintings. |
It was sculpted by Steven Lord. That one in particular was overseen by Frank Frazetta himself and was produced by the Frazettas themselves. A lot of people didn't like that one for a couple of reasons. First, it was a "loose" sculpt, which was Frank's preference. In fact he instructed Steve to sculpt it that way and Frank liked it so much that he said before he passed that future works would be done by Steve as well. Second, the factory paint job was atrocious. Bad doesn't begin to describe it. It had pink on several spots and others were bare resin missing any paint at all.
Still, if painted properly it looks good IMO. It is 1/6 scale. I had mine repainted by Saul Alvarez, Alex Castro did a good one, and our own Shedman's looks good IMO. Here is the one painted by Alex Castro
The really good thing about this one is you also got 3 original Frank Frazetta signatures. One on a print, one on the bottom of the statue, and one on a plate that went on the front.
