SerenityCollectors.com has announced that the licensed Mal resin mini-bust is now available, sold exclusively from Razor’s Edge Collectibles. Sculpted by Gentle Giant, made by Diamond, this little captain is in 1/6 scale and is 6″ tall. It’s also, judging from the final protoype pic here, the closest anyone’s gotten to capturing his distinctive likeness.
Only 1,000 will be made and sales are limited to two per household, $49.99 each.
Whatcha think? More pics and closeups in their forums.
Wow! What an improvement! I’ll definitely be ordering this one.
If only we could get the folk making the statues to listen to feedback, we might have decent Inara and Zoe statues.
Yes an improvement it actually looks like him LOL. I will be buying this one also.
I just saw the in hand pictures (http://www.serenitycollectors.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=301) and the production piece looks even better than the proto. About time we get something that looks like the characters because the other 2 statues from diamond look horrid. I will be ordering Mal today.
Just got mine yesterday, and the final is an improvement over the prototype. This is a must-own for any serenity/firefly fan.
Wow, that does look good. For the price, I was not impressed with the prototype pics posted here a while back. However, the ones of the finished product look great – they actually *do* look like Mal. The pose with him holding his hand behind his back is a little odd, but I could get used to it.
It would appear that I’m about to be $50.00 poorer. 😀
Help a collecting novice here – how does one display a bust and have it look not creepy? Half a Mal is creeping me out, I love my captain and that happens to include his legs! Is there a natural-looking way to display something like this?
