Are You A BIG Comic Toys Fan? Lifesize Artstatues from Geraplica Sculptoys

 If you are then take a look at these!

When I saw these images I thought it w3as that old modeller's trick of posing a figure at the right angle and distance.  Boy, was I wrong!


Here is what Toysrevil http://toysrevil.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/lifesize-artstatues-from-geraplica.html writes:

Contact them via their Facebook or email direct to g_asilo@yahoo.com

According to Gerald on his Linkedin page:

"In the 1990s my father was a sculptor for the Japanese company Craftwood. The company asked him to sculpt their own design like life-size Disney characters, Loony Toons, etc.  That was 1996 and I was only 12 years of age at that time. I was also practising how to sculpt because it's in the blood to sculpt.   Here I am now, following my father's legacy and sculpting my own designs and also what any client requires."



I just have to say that these are freaking incredible!  Now some of those "comic book cafes" need things like this!  Imagine inviting a friend into your apartment and finding The Avengers or JLA standing there -or maybe even a Swamp Thing or Man-Thing to go in your garden!

Man, if I ever get rich!!!

  1. Hi!

    Been looking at this company and have interest from customers abut them. When i checked the prices shown at even the highest being 18000 pesos which includes postage, that's about £750 UK pounds.
    I asked for a price on a 7 feet tall Hulk so not much bigger than the figures shown.

    Was quite shocked when I got a quote back for over £3500 UK pounds!! Way more than the listed prices so wondering who I am actually speaking with considering I contacted them through their Facebook page!

    Thanks and bye, Steve from UK.

  2. WHOA. That is so far out of the "ball park" it's incredible. I wonder whether they see a potential client from a wealthier country they bump up the price BUT that price just is not right.
