Super7’s Bronze Skullwalker

My first thought when I saw the Super7 (website, Twitter) Skullwalker design was: Why is this 3-inch toy $300? And then I noticed:

The Skullwalker is cast in solid bronze, in a numbered edition of 30 pieces

Okay, now it makes sense. Great design, but I think I’ll keep my fingers crossed in hopes of a vinyl version of the design so that I can get one that is affordable and more playable . . . but according to this interview at SpankyStokes vinyl isn’t even a real option.

With seams and manufacturing limitations, there was no way to make this figure in vinyl. We could have made it injection molded, but not in vinyl. The head as a sphere would have to have a seam somewhere along it’s radius, and that would have killed the look of the figure.

Well, damn. Looks like the best I can do is be jealous of anyone who springs for this bronze art.
