Infinite Statue: Vincent Price 1/6

[Damien]

I was sure from the pictures that his suit was fabric
damn,well done

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Anyone heard any estimated shipping updates for this item? January is just about in the bag. Are we thinking it will be closer to the end of March, or delayed due to the ports backlog?

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Sideshow sent me an order update on this. Now expected sometime between April and June. I am guessing we won't see it til Halloween.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

So how many of us ordered this puppy?

Do we suspect June, or more delays?

I got the customary "delayed" notice for this (no one ever meets their deadlines these days. If I did that, I would be fired)

Been hoping they’d do a 1/6 figure instead. I’d love to have a decent price to go with the rest of the classic horror icons.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

I'm sure he will get a figure from them. Most likely utilizing the whole "multiple heads" selling point. Young and moustached, Clean shaven, Old and moustached sort of thing.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Somewhere, far away...langushing at sea,
A Vincent Price statue sits, for you...and me.
Afloat the salty waves, the sirens cry,
Perhaps it will be here....before we die.
It's been so long, do we dare have hope?
That he soon arrives, with his noose of rope.

I'm a little sad this is a statue...
We needed an action figure of Vincent Price by Kaustic Plastik.
It's also a lot more expensive than a figure, and I don't understand why.

 

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

I'm sure he will eventually get a figure treatment. I hope as himself in a tuxedo though. With three different heads and hands sets. Like Amok Time did with their Karloff. Young, middle aged, elder.

I really wish this statue would hurry up and get here though. Modern collecting delays are a nightmare.

I'm not as optimistic. Outside of Marvel and Star Wars stuff, old movies celebritis seem very "niche" in the figure market. I think it's already a miracle to have a statue of Vincent Price.
I would love to see a Barbara Steele statue or figure, Bride of Frankenstein, more Hammer characters (Kaustic Plastik will release Van Helsing and Dracula but it's only the tip of the iceberg, the more "bankable" characters)

 

[mattjack]

I don't understand why it takes so long for a figure or statue to be released. By the time it comes out, you almost don't want it anymore.
If it takes that much time, they shouldn't announce them that early.
I guess the money from the pre-orders is used for production...which isn't a normal thing I think.

What bothers me with this statue is the base. Most of the time, statues have really nice bases but they take a lot of space. I have the Catwoman Michelle Pfeiffer by Tweeterheads and the base is cool but...damn, it's gigantic !

 

[GhostBeard]

Just found this, and I'm so annoyed. It's like the perfect Vincent Price stature... Except for that severed head. It just seems a little to gory for me I guess? I would have preferred something more understated, and it kind of kills me (no pun intended) that it's such a dealbreaker. I wish *that* hand was the swappable one. Gah.

Same. I've considered getting this and making a little burlap sack to cover it. I think a Price 1/6 scale figure is still in the realm of possibility though, as others have noted.

The head in the film is fake guys. Come on. This may say "Vincent Price" but its film specific. If in 1959 it was ok to put it on a movie poster (of his actual wife in the film no less) surely its palatable to have the fake Wm. Castle scare hair head on this statue. It's by no means a deal breaker. Nowadays this classic piece of Americana would be the subject of endless youtube commentaries or Twitter mobs crying "misogyny",lol. Personally I love the head. One of Vinney's most well known items in the 70's was about wee decapitated heads. Come on fellas, gotta remember, horror is for tough guys.

For me, it’s because I have grandchildren that come through the house all the time. And me explaining to them, “It’s OK. It’s a fake head from the movie”, probably wouldn’t cut it.

And honestly, I was never one of those horror fans who like gruesome, gory stuff to begin with. I don’t get why anyone would want to look at something grotesque on a daily basis. Classic monsters or actors I get, but I never understood the appeal of blood gore and guts on display in someone’s home. Just my two cents, other peoples mileage may vary.

Well, I also am geared more towards "safe" and "monster" movies/ "creature feature" style flicks too, as opposed to "horror". But sometimes a mannequin head is just a mannequin head,lol. That being said, little eyes must be protected until they can realize this. So get cracking on that burlap sack, and tell them its a bag of apples until they are old enough to know the truth. . See what I did there with the apples thing? Peace.

He’s trick-or-treating. I really do hope they do a 1/6 scale figure, but I’m having a hard time passing on this. Still available through IS.

The skeleton marionette behind him would have been cool.

I think thats why they littered the base with bones, I think its supposed to be the skeleton he brings up from the acid. i'm not sure where the bloody axe fits in though.
