Golden Age Comics Figurine Collection - Goldenagefigurines.com

[jzichek]

Hi All,

This post is to introduce you to Goldenagefigurines.com, a new company established to produce The Golden Age Comics Figurine Collection, a series of high quality, hand-painted polyresin figurines of public domain super hero, science fiction, and horror characters from the Golden Age of Comics. Each character is meticulously researched and carefully sculpted at 1/21 scale, making it compatible with the recent Eaglemoss collections devoted to Marvel and DC super heroes. Figurines are typically 3.5" (8.9 cm) to 4.3" (10.9 cm) tall, depending upon the size of the original character. Each individually numbered, limited edition piece is produced in very small quantities, typically between 300-500 pieces. A custom printed, full color box comes standard with each figurine, which is protected with a molded plastic tray.

Our first figurine is Fletcher Hanks's mad masterpiece, Stardust the Super Wizard:















This character is featured in two excellent books edited by Paul Karasik, I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets! and You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation!, both published by Fantagraphics. Stardust stands 4.3" tall and is equivalent to an Eaglemoss Special. The figurine is available in three color variants: the standard Grey Boots Edition (180 pieces produced); Yellow Boots Edition (75 pieces); and Red Boots Edition (45 pieces - sold out). Each variant has its own label, is individually numbered, and comes in a custom full color box. Stardust is priced at $27.95 with free economy shipping for US residents; he can be purchased directly from Goldenagefigurines.com, on eBay, and on Amazon. International customers are advised to order through eBay, as that is the only selling platform presently accepting orders from overseas for these figurines.

Upcoming figurines include Fletcher Hanks's Fantomah, Mystery Woman of the Jungle; The Black Terror vs. Killer Robot; and Basil Wolverton's Spacehawk (sculpt in progress). Some CG renders of the digital sculpts of Fantomah and The Black Terror are shown below:





We hope to have Fantomah up for preorder early next month with the Black Terror following in October. If you love golden age comics and high quality collectibles, please check out our site. Thank you for your support!

Best Regards,

Hi All,

The first superheroine in the history of comics will soon be available as a limited edition, hand painted polyresin figurine from Goldenagefigurines.com:



Created by the enigmatic Fletcher Hanks, Fantomah is a mysterious supernatural protector of the African jungles who inflicts bizarre and brutal punishments on evildoers. All of the Fantomah tales drawn by Hanks have been collected in two fantastic books edited by Paul Karasik: I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets! and You Shall Die by Your Own Evil Creation!, both published by Fantagraphics.

Fantomah is sculpted at 1/21 scale and stands 3.75" (9.5 cm) tall, with an estimated weight of 1.25 oz (35.4 g). The production run will be limited to 250 pieces and divided into 3 color variants: the white, yellow, and blue skull editions, each based on a specific color scheme from the original comics. The ratio of each variant produced will depend upon the number of pre-orders received. Each variant will have its own label, be individually numbered, and come in a full color printed box.

To reduce the chance of breakage, the figurine will be packaged separately from the base; a small drop of super glue will be required to attach it. The pre-order price in our online shop is just $14.95; the offer is good until October 31, 2013, after which the figurine will be priced at $16.95. We anticipate the figurines to arrive by December 2013/January 2014. The final product may differ somewhat from the digital illustration shown here, as it is a hand painted item.

We also have some special package deals: the Fantomah Two Variant Special for just $28.90 (a savings of $1 over ordering them separately); a Fantomah Three Variant Special for just $42.85 (a savings of $2 over ordering them separately); and a Fantomah+Stardust Special for just $36.62 (a savings of $3 over ordering them separately). All offers expire 10/31/13.

Best Regards,

Jared
