Harryhausen Unboxing: Talos with John Walsh

[@yvesloustau5287]

Another great statue, thank you for this great video.

[@WalshBros]

Thanks Yves!

[@FadGadget1]

Star Ace Toys knocked it out of the park with Talos. Thanks for reviewing this figure.

[@WalshBros]

you're welcome.

[@AndyBodkin]

Great video!! I love this figure so much. I often look it up online. I wish I could afford it, but they are so expensive. Talos is my favorite Harryhausen work.

[@johnrivers1979]

Brilliant looking model from one my favourite fantasy moments of cinema.

[@WalshBros]

thanks John.

[@nigeldewit7677]

Superb, classic, great detail, it evokes fond memories of watching the film.

Thanks Nigel.

[@brawerthanye]

A cool video of one of my favourite Harryhausen creations. Thanks.

[@WalshBros]

Yes a fav with all fans.

[@Kinglouie714]

Of all of Ray's creations, Talos is definitely one of my all-time favorites.

[@WalshBros]

Mine too!

[@ALTIRONKAIJU]

So many great memories watching with my family, love it 👍🏽😎👍🏽

[@WalshBros]

thanks

[@davegladwell7691]

An amazing figure, brings back memories of first watching Jason... many years ago.

[@WalshBros]

Thanks Dave.

[@HeroesZeros]

Another awesome sculpt! Mega Talos! I can’t pick a favourite Harryhausen film. They are all classics. 👍🏻 Still waiting for Medusa! 🙏🏻

[@WalshBros]

I agree, a real cinema classic. A full-size Talos would be a great Harryhausen tribute!

[@thepannu]

Beautiful!

Thanks

Thanks Bill.

While my cousin (two years older than myself - he was eleven, I was nine) hid behind the sofa during this sequence, I got a crush on Talos! Thought he was magnificent and still do!

[@WalshBros]

Great memory Jane. Well, Talos is certainly beach ready!

[@DaveAMcLaughlin]

Fantastic! :)

[@statusquorocks11]

Just bought this and it is as good as they say. Brilliant figure.

[@WalshBros]

Thanks Ron. Smart purchase too.

[@mikelytwyn3578]

I’d love to give this to my son, he’s a big fan!

[@HirathaYT]

Talos!! One of my absolute Harryhausen faves, and what a choice for pose.

[@stevetayler9518]

We really are living in a golden age of collectibles. Not that long ago, a recreation this accurate simply wouldn’t have been possible; or so expensive that you may as well try to buy the real thing. Now, even excluding beautiful labours of love like this, so many collectible figures are gorgeously detailed and works of art in their own right.

[@WalshBros]

Thanks Steve. Yes it is wonderful to see the collection brought to life. Ray would have been thrilled.

[@akaflint10]

Epic!

[@sharkytampy]

hi john, is it possible for star ace to release the model bases that come with the super deluxe ones as kits too for people who brought the kits instead of the deluxe ones like this base with the sea and cliffs please. they included the base with the medusa kit of the soldier and fire cauldron but wondered if they could do the others like this talos base too and say the one of the sea and cliffs for the kraken model kit as a kit

[@WalshBros]

I agree but sometimes it is a cost and production issue.

[@sharkytampy]

@@WalshBros please can you suggest it as people who brought the kits and have no bases or accesories would gladly pay for seperate pieces. i know i would for parts as kits id like for my models

[@avcigang6557]

Absolutely brilliant you got me with Kali but just omg ... Can't wait to see medusa she's my favourite

[@gbirving]

Excellent quality Talos well worth it.

[@WalshBros]

Thanks George.

[@goldfred66]

Juat ordered the model kit.. Shame the base wasn't an optional purchase... But I'll sculpt one, figure looks great

[@WalshBros]

The model kit looks amazing too.

[@chuckwills2527]

Absolutely epic!

[@WalshBros]

Thanks Chuck.

[@robertfraas3529]

WOW. It is so beautiful. Love it. 😍👌🎬

[@WalshBros]

Thanks Robert

[@hannahripebanana]

Talos always scared me as a kid. When his head first turns. awesome.

[@Geocub75]

Talos was one of those figures from childhood that both terrified and fascinated. What an amazing figure

[@WalshBros]

Indeed and an iconic pose

[@cjmcneilcanada1]

@3:10 is the back of Talos meant to be concave, as in the original movie model was like that? I ask as it looks deflated and caved in to be honest.

[@clumsyspacemonster5944]

It is not. I'm sure it happened during shipping. Vinyl can be a bit finicky but will return to its original shape with the help of a little heat.

[@mrmrgaming]

@@clumsyspacemonster5944 Mine had a slight issue, nothing as bad as this one, but after a blast with a hairdryer, it's almost perfect.

[@andrewsinclair4391]

My wife and children bought me the statue for my 70th birthday beautiful statue got a dim light faceing him as it gets dark saw the film wen I was ten with my two brothers first time for us and wen he turned his head and got off his plinth and the scraping of the bronze.well we all looked at each other my brother said to me with our jaws wide open in amazement at wat we just seen he said did the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and the 3 of us said yes . I have the film on tape and i know it’s coming wen he gets off his plinth but my hairs on the back of my neck still stand up .I always felt sorry for Talos .ive ordered one of him kneeling on his plinth from planet action figures in October £318 but it still hasn’t arrived yet emailed them about 5 times and all they say is another two weeks another two weeks. I think I’ve been conned .

[@WalshBros]

Thanks for sharing your great experience, Andrew. Sorry to hear your order has not arrived. I have shot an unboxing for the kneeling Talos but haven't finished it yet. It is quite a recent piece, so hopefully, yours is on backorder.

[@kaijubattle3677]

Awesome

[@victorleong8285]

So John and I understanding correctly that there's a standard and deluxe set ? The Argo boat is just as fantastically made as the figure. Side note : I love the creaking/groans sound effects of the metal they did. It amps up the scenes especially when Talos starts to awaken.

[@WalshBros]

Yes two versions at two price points. Yes I agree the sound fx and music really brings Talos alive.

[@sharkytampy]

the diorama bases i mean as kits for the model kits too

[@nealhewitt1052]

Superb. All the movies were magical to a 14 year-old introvert.

[@WalshBros]

Thanks. They have a life of their own.

[@legolasstudios]

Is it posable?

[@WalshBros]

No this is a fixed pose.

[@LeonSanginiti]

I must say, having owned 9 other Star Ace Harryhausen replicas, I am most disappointed with this one, especially with the defective sunken in back that completely warps the entire model's form. It looks like the model flopped in the oven....completely flat and crushed in from the shoulders to the hips. Any advice on how to get Star Ace to reconcile this?

[@chichiboypumpi]

still scary, the figure is worth it, I wish they also make a Talos on the treasure silo, or standing

[@roelgonzalez8949]

Do you think that the harryhaussen sabretooth will be released by star ace? That is what got me into this line. Looking for a sabretooth cat toy.

[@WalshBros]

No plans yet but Minaton and the Ghouls are on the way.

[@johneaster5986]

I have ordered this and if mine is sunken in on the back I will be sending it back

[@clumsyspacemonster5944]

Mine did not come with this flaw. Check out the review on my channel. I'm sure you'll be happy with yours.

[@stevetayler9518]

Good luck with that. They’ll probably tell you the same thing I’m about to. It’s meant to be like that. Check the scenes from Jason and the Argonauts. Only briefly glimpsed but his back is clearly concave I’m imagining the mould makers for this figure knew what they doing.

[@clumsyspacemonster5944]

@@stevetayler9518 Check the review on my channel for how the figure is supposed to look. Imo, X-Plus did an amazing job.

Wonderful video! Mine came in a couple of weeks ago and I was able to get a review out. I'd love it if you were able to check it out, thanks!

[@WalshBros]

Thanks I’ll take a look

[@markcrawley4530]

not at those prices, quite ridiculous!

[@marcusistic]

Sorry, but it's quite poorly sculpted.... Like a lot of these Star Ace Toys figures....

[@stevetayler9518]

Poorly sculpted? Sorry, it really isn’t. It’s literally indistinguishable from the original model. In what way is it poor; I’m genuinely confused

[@mrmrgaming]

If you mean the back, it's a fault. Sadly a lot have it. Mine had a slightly sunken spine, but after a bit of heat, it's fixed.
