Maddi Harryhausen Cyclops Commission

#1 Post by Jon LeGrand »

Here is a video of the Harryhausen Cyclops for the 7th voyage of Sinbad movie. Sculpted my Michael Maddi, and this one was hand pour casted by him. He only did a few of them, and later Earthbound Studios began producing them. This one had a glass eye. It is a resin kit and stands around 11 inches tall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPNP6THoagc
Here are some photos:

Wonderful!
I bought one of these from Mike when he first released the kit.
Sadly, mine is still in its box waiting its turn on the workbench....
I remember the fit was exceptional.

That looks awesome Jon, superb build and paint as usual and a nice change from scaly reptiles! I remember Terry Webb going ballistic
over this kit when he reviewed it in AFM. I got he impression he's quite a fan of the Cyclops and maintained this was one of the best
he's seen and I must agree, the sense of movement and weight in the figure is wonderful. That glass eye tops it off perfectly!

Cheers,
Paul

So lifelike! A very dynamic figure brought to life with perfect painting. This guy is ready for round two with Sinbad.
