Wasp Woman Prototype paint variant and numbered release by Distinctive Dummies

 Having done a lot of freelance painting (to make my hobby be self sustaining) for Distinctive Dummies, I lobbied for this character to be made for months. The film is a favorite "B" monster movie of mine.

 The owner eventually relented and took me up on my suggestion....but only if I would do the paint chores for the figure run. I agreed of course. I struggled with what color to choose for her, but ultimately settled on the metallic bluish purple color, inspired by Carol Hicks's mask of the character. 

The prototype, however,  I did in gold, black and yellow. She has different clothing , nylons, necklace and shoes from the numbered release. Here are both pictured together. The DD release was limited to 60 numbered editions. The prototype (pictured with some DST lab equipment) is limited to just mine.

As such, I sat up late night on weekends (before the advent of vhs, dvd, blu ray, etc) watching as many of these old films as my young mind could....devour. Like any good monster kid, I also collect movie monster items. In addition to consuming said items, I also contribute to the hobby, as a free lance painter. Having done work for Distinctive Dummies, Creatures and Shadows Studios, Brentz Dolz and many others. Who knows, you may have some of my work in your own collection.       The monster kid era began in the 1960's and ran well into the late 1970's. In 1977; Peter Cushing retired his stakes, crosses, and Holy Water, and went to work holding Darth Vader's temper in check instead. Vincent Pric
