Based
on the artwork of the same name by renowned illustrator Mike Mignola
(creator of the Hellboy comics), Monkey with a Gun has been faithfully
translated into three dimensions by the team at Bigshot Toyworks.
Standing
9.5 inches tall, this resin sculpture will be produced in limited
numbers. Preorder customers receive a free, signed Mike Mignola Monkey
with a Gun print with their order. Monkey with a Gun retails for $150
each and is scheduled to ship to customers in Q1 of 2015. Preorders are
available now in the Bigshot Toyshop.
The
Monkey with a Gun piece is the next self-produced figure by Bigshot
Toyworks, following the Martin Hsu Miya-San figure and the Little Maddie
figure.
