The Bates Mansion/Psycho House sculpted by Anton Tremblay (Microcosms)

 Anton Tremblay sculpted this wonderful item and released it through his company "Microcosms". He won an Emmy for his work, with his miniatures being featured on television. Through his company, he released a variety of architecture from 1996 until the mid 2010's (to the best of my admittedly limited knowledge). He mostly produced miniatures of actual functioning buildings. However, he did deviate a couple of times into the realm of cinematic architechture. 

The main deviation, in my opinion, being when he produced this beauty. It took me years to finally find one of these, and it was rather expensive. Limited to a scant 75 editions, these are rarely seen on the secondary market. Once a Psycho-phile acquires one, they are loathe to ever let go of them. I believe this was produced prior to 2010, but I am unsure of the actual date it was made.

I believe this is cast in a nickel and pewter compound. Mounted on a nice wood base. This puppy is extremely heavy and still has the tell tale Microcosms insignia sticker attached. This is truly a collector's treasure. Right up there with another little Psycho House /Bates Motel item I will post ....soon.

The rest is history.  Originally consisting of he, his wife, and other like minded folks who wanted certain characters to have plastic representation in their collections, DD grew to something of a collector phenomenon. Characters we fans thought would never see the light of day materialized. Wasp Woman, Boy Who Cried Werewolf, Louis Jordan as Dracula, and so many more became realities. Others have copied DD, but DD's reputation is astounding. I have done a lot with them in the role of freelance paint work, and as a creative consultant. These folks are top notch. Although they started their offerings in 1/6 scale, they rarely do 1/6 any longer. Their focus is now mainly "mego" scale. Their 1/6 offerings were usually quite impressive. Here we have their 1/6  Colin Clive as Henry Frankenstein, from Universal's "Frankenstein...
