1/6 scale from WARPAINT Studios, lovely bust and went together with no problems at all.
that`s the shop:Great looking figure John.....can't find them on the internet.......Mike
Thanks to Mario for producing this bust (originally a full figure) that I sculpted for a toy company many years ago. But, again, I must protest calling him "Wyatt Earp".
That is what the toy company called him and the pose was taken from one of the Wyatt Earp movies, but I NEVER intended this to be anything but a Hollywood fantasy figure and I most definitely did not create a portrait of Wyatt Earp. The face is generic. The brief for the commission piece was typically hyperbolic Hollywood fantasy. To my mind it did not in any way relate to the real Wyatt Earp. I take portrait sculpting very seriously and I do not want anyone to think that this figure is a portrait. It most definitely is not a portrait of Wyatt Earp.
"Hollywood movie sheriff" is a more accurate description. The real Wyatt Earp is another figure I did many years ago and it is mostly an embarrassment to me now.
Hanging my head in shame.....
so in a way it has a collectible value as "the one figure Mike Go(o)d is not proud of...."
Cheers,
Wyatt Earp it is not......but an excellent sculpt it is.... excellent paintwork John.... I know you'll be bahk…..
