Small Soldiers SWS production figures.

[Green Fish]

Does anybody know what ever happened to any of the Small Soldiers figures that were produced by Stan Winston Studio after the movie was released?

I know it wasn't a big money draw, but 25 sets of these were made and sold for a thousand or two each at the FAO Schwarz Convention way back when - but, apparently, only a handful sold, due to their 'untouchable' price-tag.

I've read just about everything there is to know, but figured I'd ask around here and see if anybody knew anything about them. Saw a thread on here about it, but it was quite a while back.

Thanks.

First I'm hearing of these, but the Commandos like they were in the film have been a grail of mine since they show was released

The Small Soliders Commandos are epic!!! I always wanted them in my collection, they had amazing boxes to!!! I had the 12" Talking toys and they were pretty cool, but id love a high end collectable.

Small Soldiers was an awesome movie!!

Didnt know they did the whole 9 yards for them back in the day but it be cool to see that.

They were pretty much puppets from the movie packaged in near-replica boxes and sold in a (very) limited quality to the public. Constructed, painted, and fabricated by the same people in the same studio. A continuation, if you will.

Take a look there.

Only 25 were made, but they were pretty much a continuation of the screen used puppets.

I've been searching for one for years, and I'm just now beginning to realize just how small of a number 25 is.

Here's the SSF thread:

Yeah, but I'd say that thread was a dead end.

The commandos did always look pretty awesome

I just watched SS this afternoon and had forgotten how cool the Gorgonites looked, I love that film

Great film! I would love to have a few high end pieces from that movie as well.

The Original Commando Elite figures, those were grail pieces...

 

[Green Fish]

No kidding.

Just the same as one of these 25 that I've been looking for, though. Three years of looking, my internet was down for a week - and in that week's time, one of them was sold on ebay for less than I was willing to pay. That was 2009, and there hasn't been one on the market since then.

Bad luck, I suppose. Very, very bad luck.

A company should make authentic high end 12" figures of a few Commandos and Gorgonites, or even just Chip Hazard and Archer.

Authentic replicas, right down to the box art. I'd buy them.

 

[Green Fish]

Well, these were sold in a catalog, and were pretty much that.

But, yeah, I agree. 25 just wasn't enough.

HI All,

it's great to see so much interests in this movie and the collectables. I am one of the artist that worked on the show and help produce the characters for this film. I also help make the toys as well for FAO Shwartz, I was also curious as to what happen to this toys. I would love to get my hands on some of them as well.

I would love for Kenner to finish their line; they left out three of the characters, Butch Meathook, Link Static, and Ocula (correct scale).
