Here is the newest addition to my Small Soldiers' family. I have to straighten the arrow from the bow a little bit, but it isn't that hard to do.
Hope you enjoy!

Heres a video I made of some of the still existing props. I have a huge library of these images so if anyone needs reference material for a repaint or sculpt contact me and I'll send them to you.
PS. Someone needs to make some Commando replicas, I'm gonna give it a try!
says video has been deleted :-( If anyone can get good screen grabs of chips gun, Id be willing to sculpt it and do a small cheaply priced run of them. I mean it would cost like 75 cents worth or resin lol why charge an arm and a leg?

Hey Jason!
Whereabouts do you find these awesome guys?
Thanks.
I am friends with a dealer that is in to buying and selling statues and I just gave him the heads up to watch out for any Small Soldiers statues that he comes across. So far, in just a little over a month, he has found me a few really good statues. He deals internationally though so it has been a little easier for him to find them. I know if it was just me, I wouldn't have any of them because you can look online EVERYWHERE, even ebay, and NOT come across them. I told him to really look out for some more Commandos though because so far, the Gorgonites really have my Chip Hazard out numbered...lol.
I was just talking to my dealer in which I get the statues from and he heard from his vendor, which is the person that helps supply the statues, that Soft Garage, which created the statues I own, never went into production. I have seen mine of course, which all are prototypes or example statues for stores to display, but I have never seen any that had the plaque and were numbered within the 5000 piece production (i.e.- xxxx of 5000). Now, Howlrunner posted pics of the Chip Hazard and the Archer statues, which are the only other pics of the statues I have ever seen of them, and they sold on a auction site. In the listing, it states that those pieces were "Artist Proofs". So once again, I have never seen a "normal statue" which was numbered within the limited run of 5000.
What I'm getting at is does any one know if these statues ever really went into production or did they only make a few proofs and ditch the project because the movie didn't do well at the box office? If anyone has an idea, please let me know. Thanks!!
Hmm... I'm guessing so. I couldn't find anything on these statues online, other than your pics. I wish I could see more Commando and Gorgonite stuff. Maybe they made a few of each, but never went up to the 5000 point. Who knows?
I'm making good progress with accurate box artwork, but I've hit a slight snag.
I need you to put your thinking heads on and see if you can come up with something here.
The image above is from the trailer where Chip rips through the back of the box. You can clearly see the text I have overlaid on it.
So, what is his function? I could be wrong with my guess that the first three letters are "ter". It smacks of "terminate with extreme prejudice" but that's too long! :lol
Also, there's this;
This is a perspective corrected grab from when Dick Miller is reading out the back of Chip's box. You can see that the first line is "NAME: CHIP HAZARD" but the second line is four small words. The first word on the second line is smaller than "NAME". Any guesses?
Which version should I make? What should we put on that line?
Also, there's this.
The bottom picture is from the start of the film and the top is from the end of the film. They obviously had different images to create a subliminal effect on the viewer. I plan on doing the top one (it's prettier). What do you think?
