Distinctive Dummies: 1/6 Scale: Colin Clive Dr. Frankenstein Figure

Image
 In 2010, a little customizer decided he wanted to see toys made from favorite films. He titled his "company" Distinctive Dummies. 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.

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.

The Wolfman 2010, Signed 8x10, Benecio DelToro

 Signed 8x10 textured finished photo. This film gets a lot of hate, but even with all the re-shoots and meddling, it's obvious DelToro loved this character. Rick Baker's make ups were amazing. Gotta love the fact that his howl was performed by Gene Simmons of KISS. Signed in black sharpie on a semi gloss, textured finish, 8x10.
