More of the Ray Harryhausen vinyls figures by Star Ace are hitting stateside right now. Collector Marcellus Winters just got his Triceratops & Loana set from One Million Years B.C. (1966) and the Cyclops Deluxe based on the one-eyed creature from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958). The cyclops comes with a polyresin diorama base with embedded nameplate and two in-scale miniatures of Sinbad’s crew.  As you can see, the packaging is a definite step up from X-Plus’ usual garage kit box approaches.

Marcellus has his new trike and Loana vinyls on display with the previously released Allosaurus & Tumak set (also from One Million Years B.C.). His shelf is looking awesome with the diorama approach he’s taken.

Marcellus took the same diorama approach with his new Cyclops DX. “The Cyclops is just superb. The Harryhausen collection by Star Ace is a must have!”

Both the Triceratops and Cyclops are comparable in size with the X-Plus 30cm Series collection.  These sets are finally arriving at stores in the U.S. If you placed an order, now would be a good time to ask for an update for your preorder(s).

[Star Ace is a subsidiary of X-Plus.]
