Klaatu and Gort about to land!

Check these out: while much ink has been spilled about the newer trend in retro-scale 3 & 3/4" figures, many of them fail to excite. Not so the case 

here...

The folks at Amok Time have unveiled a new set of the space travelers from the 1951 classic film The Day The Earth Stood Still. These figures look pretty spot-on perfect. They've captured Gort's spiral-galaxy energy pulse and done a super job with actor Michael Rennie's likeness and hair. The paint even captures the metallic sheen of his suit fabric. These are Amok Time exclusives, up for pre-order with an August arrival. Amok Time made a large 12"/14" set of Klaatu and Gort years ago (sigh...back when Starlog was still in print), so here's a second chance to add these figures to your collection, this time at 4"/5" scale. Available at www.amoktime.com. "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto!"
