Two of the favorite Puppet Master characters have been given yet another collectible treatment, this time by Phantasma.
The company has revealed massive 12″ soft vinyl “Blade” and “Torch” figurines. Both come in a five-panel window box with velcro closure. Art is by Graham Humphreys.
The only negative is that they’re a whopping $90.
The figurines are inspired by the franchise that began with the 1989 film written by Charles Band and Kenneth J. Hall, and directed by David Schmoeller.
Here’s a look at both:
BLADE:
Via Wiki: “It is revealed (in Puppet Master III: Toulon’s Revenge) that Blade was created by André Toulon and modeled after Gestapo Major (Sturmbannführer) Krauss. He has the soul of Dr. Hess, a German scientist and medical doctor who wanted to work with Toulon. He was used for evil under puppet masters Neil Gallagher, André Toulon (in Puppet Master II) and Dr. Magrew, all three of whom he later turned against. He was used for good under André Toulon, Danny Coogan, Rick Meyers, Peter Hertz A.K.A. Eric Weiss, and Robert Toulon whom he each served loyally. Blade has a sharp hook for his left hand and a knife for his right hand. He sometimes has spike-shaped “bullet eyes” that pop out of his sockets from time to time.”
TORCH:
Via Wiki: “Torch was built in Puppet Master II by André Toulon. Torch later betrayed Toulon and set him on fire. Afterwards, he assisted Camille in “visiting” mentally ill children. He appeared in Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter assisting Rick Meyers defeat a demon. His fate and who he was in real life are currently unknown. Torch has a flamethrower for his right hand that is used to burn people alive.”
