Iron Studios - Statue Ayrton Senna - Legacy Replica 1/4
Who was Ayrton Senna? Celebrating their 10th anniversary, and the birth anniversary of the greatest Brazilian auto racing icon, Iron Studios bring in their emblematic thousandth release another version of who for many is a true hero, that achieved many victories inside and outside the tracks, an example to be followed to this very day, and the person that originated Iron Studios? brand with their first release a decade ago. In his 10 years of Formula 1, he won the World Championship 3 times racing for McLaren, in 1988, 1990, and 1991, and his legacy in the sport includes 65 pole positions, 41 victories, and after his premature death almost 30 years ago in a fateful turn at Imola Circuit in Italy, his exemplar social activism in the fight for education and better conditions for vulnerable populations remains alive through his family in the Institute that takes his name since then. Iron Studios proudly present the statue "Ayrton Senna - Legacy Replica 1/4", revealed firsthand at CCXP 2023. Exploring the Ayrton Senna statue: With his iconic red jumpsuit from McLaren?s team, thoroughly reproduced in fabric, faithful down to the tiniest details, the legendary three-times champion brings on his head the cap of the former National Bank, one of his main sponsors at the time, holding his unmistakable yellow helmet with his right arm, replicating with extreme precision its details and stickers, and Brazil?s flag safe in his left hand. On top of a round base, with his feats and titles engraved in it, and his striking signature replicated in the front, the statue will be limited to 161 units worldwide, which represents the number of times Senna raced in grand prix on Formula 1. Figure details: Created for the Legacy Replica line by Iron Studios on the 1/4 scale, Ayrton Senna?s majestic statue measurements are 20 in (H) x 11 (W) x 10.2 in (D) -12.1 lbs, which allows an impressive presentation of the statue in any environment. Special features: The statue Ayrton Senna ? Legacy Replica 1/4, the 1000th release in the history of Iron Studios, will be manufactured in limited quantities, with only 161 units available worldwide. The materials chosen for the statue make it distinguishable in its presentation, with clothes and flag made in fabric. Besides that, the base present rich details inspired by the original references. Materials and finishing of the piece: Just like the other statues produced by Iron Studios, the statue Ayrton Senna Legacy Replica 1/4 is made with high-quality materials, such as the Polystone, and may contain other parts in resin, Polystone, PVC, metal, and fabric. With the finishing, the manual painting guarantees a unique and exclusive artistic touch to please all the collectors. Already available for Pre-Order, celebrating the birth anniversary of our dear and beloved Ayrton Senna, presenting perfect fidelity to the face features of the legendary racer, all the 161 statues will be numbered and will come with a certificate of authenticity, to give the statue its due value! Not just that, Ayrton Senna - Legacy Replica marks the thousandth statue produced by Iron Studios! Check out more news on Iron Studios? social media and YouTube channel.
Looks pretty good. The portrait likeness could be a little bit better, even if it is a good effort.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Worth noting this is limited to 161 statues worldwide. Is 161 a number of significance here? His total races or something similar?

161 is indeed the number of Grands Prix he raced at before he died in a race crash. Him and Frenchman Alain Prost were THE race drivers back in the day, with both dominating the late 80's and early 90's world championships.

Ayrton Senna is possibly greatest driver the world has seen. He pushed 200% all the time.
I was watching the race in question, live on TV, when the unthinkable happened. Mechanical failure, resulting in loss of life
On May 5, 1994, some 3,000,000 people took the streets of Sao Paulo
to say farewell the remains of Ayrton Senna.

Formula 1 has a strong following world wide. I'm not surprised this sold out quickly.
Only now the US is catching on to Formula 1.

One of my favorite games of the last 10 years, Horizon Chase Turbo (retro arcade style racer - like OutRun), featured DLC titled 'Senna Forever'. A tribute to him, worked into the style/races of the game. Was informational as well, covering races throughout his career.
I had never heard of him, and strangely, it never mentioned he was dead. I guess they figured everyone who bought the DLC would already know him.
