Rare Fritz Lang Metropolis False Maria 16'' CCC Compulsive Pewter Resin Figure
THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY LIMITED EDITION:
A beautifully sculpted statue of Maria The Robot
standing 16 inches tall
This is a well observed model of one
of the most instantly recognisable robots in film history, the False Maria
Robot from Fritz Lang's fabulous Art Deco masterpiece Metropolis.
It was made by Compulsion Gallery
and was at that time a piece of genuine licensed merchandise.
Since Compulsion Gallery ceased trading, their
models and in particular this huge Maria statue have become real collectors must haves.
Their products were made of high density resin
thermally plated in Pewter.
This was then hand polished and lacquered to
retain the just burnished look.
Unlike metal powder filled resin casts which go
dull within a couple of days of polishing them, these thermally plated products
always remain bright and need no maintenance apart from dusting.
I apologise for the high overseas postage costs, but this is a heavy expensive item, weighing 2.5kg before packing.
