Iron Studios Jaws Attack Demi Art 1/20 Scale Statue
Spielberg’s classic in a new Iron Studios statue!
Off the coast of Amity Island, the famous shark fishing vessel called the Orca, named after the shark’s only natural enemy faces its wreckage after a long hunt for the deadliest marine predator it has ever faced. Crewed by its captain, eccentric war veteran Sam Quint, alongside Amity Police Chief Martin Brody, the vessel’s stern shatters into pieces in the teeth of the sea’s most fearsome creature, the Great White Shark. With the bow of the boat suspended from the water by the weight and strength of the animal, Quint fights the creature, slipping into the voracious mouth of the monstrous fish, while Brody, in despair, holds on to the doorframes of the Orca’s cabin, so he doesn’t have the same terrible fate. Replicating the final scene of combat between the brave hunters and cinema\’s most famous carnivore, Iron Studios proudly presents its ”Jaws Attack Demi Art Scale 1/20” statue, inspired by the classic and iconic film directed by Steven Spielberg.
Winner of three Oscars and numerous other awards, the 1975 film Jaws is considered a watershed in cinema history, being seen as the first American blockbuster and marked by an unmistakable and menacing soundtrack composed by John Williams. Inspired by Peter Benchley’s 1974 novel, a summer beach resort town on a fictional island begins to suffer attacks from a White Shark. As a result of these attacks, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) orders the closure of the beaches. However, fearing an impact on local economic income, which depends on tourism, the town’s mayor convinces Brody to reverse his decision, resulting in an attack with tragic consequences. To put an end to the threat, the city hires Sam Quint (Robert Shaw), an old shark-hunting sailor, who along with Martin Brody and consultant oceanographer Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) depart aboard Quint’s boat, the Orca, in hunting the animal, facing a much larger and stronger creature than anticipated, estimating its length at 25 feet (7.6 m) and weighing approximately 3 tons; with an unstoppable force of brutal and instinctive attacks.
More than a collectible statue, a true work of art meticulously replicated in the smallest details of its sculpture, with extreme realism in the textures, colors, and scales of size reproduced in this piece, seeking excellence in its representation. Already available for Pre-Order, the statue was unveiled at the annual Inside Iron Studios: Second Edition virtual event during CCXP Worlds 2021 in the Worlds to Collect arena. Stay tuned for all the news from Iron Studios, coming soon on its social media and YouTube channel.

Titanic Creations announces two new additions to the “Soul Wars” series of articulated monster figures based on original designs inspired by kaiju culture, deadly prehistoric creatures, pulp horror fiction, and the supernatural. Check out the details on each below and order via the Titanic Creations website here.
Shipping early 2022:
SKUREAUS
Skureaus – The ultimate weapon of ancient Egypt! A monster that was designed to be controlled and used to wield God-like power. It was buried for thousands of years but was dug up by Nazi archeologists hoping to master its power. Skureaus is controlled by a yellow amulet that is currently in the possession of Nazi General Erwin Rommel. With this super weapon the Nazi’s have taken over all of Egypt and are invading the rest of North Africa at an alarming pace. The only hope the Allies have against this creature and its evil master is another ancient power that has laid dormant at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, Skureaus, soon to reawaken.
11.8 Inches Long x 6.8 Inches High Poseable Figure · Price: $60.00
GRIFFIXIS
Griffixis – A beast from out space! The Griffixis pathogen originally lands on a planet and infects two members of the native population, turning them back into children. The monster then begins to take on traits of assorted animals on the planet until it becomes the ultimate alpha predator. The first planet to encounter the beast was the home of another monster, Nosferadon. That planet fell in short order after Griffixis arrived. Where the pathogen was created remains unknown and at this time, there is no known way to slow or stop its rapid evolution.
11.8 Inches Long x 6 Inches Tall Poseable Figure · Price: $60.00
Currently available from Titanic Creations:
TITANICUS
An ancient monster that was first spotted in 1912, when he attacked and sank the RMS Titanic. The monster’s appearance triggered the creation of Project Serenity, which was tasked with keeping the secret about the true horrors that lie in the ocean from the public. Titanicus’ origin is a mystery with many scientists believing that the monster was an ancient super weapon created by Atlanteans. In addition to the attack on the Titanic, Titanicus has been known to sink merchant ships and has been rumored to live near the Bermuda Triangle.
11.8 Inches Long x 6 Inches Tall Poseable Figure · Price: $60.00
NOSFERADON
Nosferadon was designed by aliens to stop the Griffixis creature, but unfortunately there was not enough time. As the monster was laying waste to the planet, the creators shot Nosferadon’s egg into space hoping that one day it could save another planet from the cruel fate that had fallen their home world. Eventually, the egg landed on Earth and was discovered by a young Jewish boy in 1930’s Germany named Wolf. After Nosferadon hatched, he created a bond with Wolf, and after Wolf’s parents were taken away by the Nazis, the pair set out trying to find them while also knowing that one day the Griffixis pathogen would come to Earth and Nosferadon would have to live up to his destiny to stop it.
