Ray Harryhausen Cyclops and Ymir Statues by Star Ace Toys

[Spooked]

After missing out on the NECA Leatherhead and Slash set yesterday, this was the news I needed to hear. Both of those Cyclops are going to be mine. Absolutely beautiful.

[Black Arbor]

If they made his insectoid Moon men or his War of the Worlds test footage alien I'd be all over these!

[dukefett]

Wow they look fantastic!

These are awesome and as long as the price isn't too crazy, I'm going to pre order the cyclops. Hope this is the start of them producing more creatures from his films.

Should be seeing a lot more from them. I'm really tempted by the Cyclops. Pricing is going to be about $200 each, more for larger and deluxe statues.

I am holding out hope for some Clash of the Titans. Medusa, Calibos, and the Kraken will be almost impossible for me to pass up.

Right there with you, Joe. Clash of the Titans would be... just incredible.

Star Ace does a great job with these vinyls.

"...The new statues include the Cyclops from Jason and the Argonauts..."
Wrong. the Cyclops was from The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Not Jason an the Argonauts.

Aren't these all X-Plus actually? And Star Ace just distributing? Like with the Skull Island Kong Figures, said Star Ace but it's pretty much all X-Plus I thought.

[ghostbogey]

Yeah... they do look pretty good

I believe Star Ace is a subsidiary of X-PLus, the parent company. Essentially yes, they're the same. I have been very happy with my King Kong and Virgil Hilts from Star Ace.

These are awesome statues! ^^ I wish Ray Harryhausen himself was alive to see how they came out.

Apparently, Xplus has been making Harryhausen stuff for like 20 years. I was looking up any mention of a possible minotaur and looks like they've made a couple going back to 2000.

Does that include action figures, or just statues?

[deecee4]

Looks like they're all vinyl figures...either one piece or with limited swivel articulation. Also Kaiyodo made revoltech skeletons a while back, they weren't very good though,IMO.
