CALLING ALL HARRYHAUSEN FANS! - Medicom "Giant Talos"

#1 Post by bucketfoot-al »

I wanted to share some photos of the new WF 2020 Winter Medicom "Giant Talos" figure. I have no idea whether this will be offered for sale, or if it was a convention exclusive. What I do know is that I lucked out BIGLY when I accidentally found it on the Mandarake site the same day it was posted. (And that it cost me beaucoup $$$)

Regardless, I got it yesterday and I am still pinching myself. This 13" tall Talos is an absolute dead-on likeness to Ray's puppet from the "Jason and The Argonauts" film, the "Talos" scene arguably being the greatest stop-motion sequence ever filmed. (It has my vote).

So I enclose a few photos, including one with the suddenly-pathetic-looking X-Plus Talos figure from 2001 for comparison. As far as the Japanese legendary attention to detail goes - as the goddess Hera told Jason in the film: "Look to his feet" :wink:

Now for the pics ... :drool2:
