A perfect compliment to ReelArt Studios? sold out Blue Bulleteer, Yankee Girl is strictly limited, stands on an art deco base and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
THE SPIRIT
On sale Sept 17
The Classic The Spirit PVC Set ? with bonus figure!
3 figures plus special fourth bonus figure
Approx. 4.5" tall
$24.99
Classic The Spirit Sculpted magnet
Approx. 3" tall x 2.25" wide
$7.99
The PVC set features three characters: The Spirit, crusty old Commissioner Dolan, and sultry siren Sand Saref. Sculpted by Tony Cipriano, of course! Tony has really ?nailed? Will Eisner?s style in interpreting it as 3-D, and the result is a set of figures that any true Spirit fan will embrace.
But that?s not all! We have created a fourth figure from the classic comics, and are including it as part of the set in specially designed packaging. Who will it be?
Joining the PVC set in our growing classic Spirit line is a sculptural refrigerator magnet. Crafted by Gentle Giant Studios, this fun item will liven up any collector?s refrigerator or bookshelf. Inspired by an unpublished Will Eisner sketch, the image is a nifty throwback to the good old days.
The Spirit feature film is due out January 2009, directed by Frank Miller!
VAMPIRE HUNTER D BUST
On sale Nov 19
8.5" tall
Packaged in a deluxe full color box
$74.99
Based on the character by Japanese author Hideyuki Kikuchi and visualized in the revered illustrations of Yoshitaka Amano, this original bust of Vampire Hunter D captures the beauty, grace, and cloaked mystery of the futuristic avenger. Possibly immortal, his origin uncertain but twined between vampire and human, he protects his pale skin with flowing hair, cloak, and a distinctive wide-brimmed hat.
Sculptor Tim Bruckner has put much effort into getting this piece just right. As you can see, the time was well spent! He said that bringing Amano?s art forward in three dimensions was ?the assignment of a lifetime.?
