Description

Stan Winston's original one-of-a-kind production used epic battle display from Small Soldiers. (DreamWorks, 1998) An incredible opportunity for fans of this cult classic film!  After the landmark FX film was completed, all the self-contained, non-animatronic versions of the two groups of characters were assembled in this action-packed battle vignette display for Stan Winston by his Small Soldiers production crew. This impressive display was the first thing that greeted guests to the Stan Winston Studios display room. This piece represents a complete set of characters, each decked out with signature weapon and accessories.  The cast of 12-character figures range in size from 11.5 in. to 15 in. tall and includes Commando Elites: "Brick Bazooka", "Butch Meathook", "Kip Killigan", "Link Static", "Major Chip Hazard", "Nick Nitro", and Gorgonites: "Insaniac", "Slamfist", "Archer", "Punch-It & Scratch-It", "Troglokhan" and "Ocula". The figures are affixed in static character poses upon a battlefield composed of kids' random household items including books, building blocks, crayons, toy cars, a baseball, board games, a teddy bear, plastic army men and much more. The display is set upon a table stand measuring 60 in. tall x 34 in. wide x 80 in. long. This is the one and only set in existence.  Commando utility belt buckles are wired to illuminate, with the majority still functional. Plug and transformer are included in the table base (electronics untested).  In today's market individual figures bring in excess of $10,000 each. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire the ultimate collection from this iconic film of instantly recognizable figures. Exhibiting minor production wear, age and light soiling. A few accessory pieces are detached but present and easily reattached. This unique and spectacular display remains in very good to fine condition.
