Star Ace Medusa Vintage-stylized Art Sofubi Figure
Star Ace ART SOFUBI Series: Medusa – Ray Harryhausen Collection Vintage Style. Legendary Monster. Timeless Tribute.

The hunt begins! Star Ace proudly unveils the next stunning release in our vintage-style soft-vinyl figure series—the terrifying Medusa, rising from the mythic depths of the 1981 classic Clash of the Titans. Officially licensed as part of the Ray Harryhausen Collection, this serpent-haired Gorgon slithers onto your shelf in bold retro sofubi style.

Designed by @planetxasia and standing an imposing 25 cm (10 inches) tall, this figure captures Medusa’s sinister grace with exaggerated, characterful sculpting and a vibrant paint scheme. Every scale, snake, and stone-cold stare is rendered with a nostalgic nod to vintage Japanese sofubi toys—blending film history with collectible art.

This highly poseable collectible includes a switch-out right arm for dynamic display options. Customize her stance with an open hand for a poised, stalking pose, or attach the arrow-holding hand to pair perfectly with the bow held in her left hand, completing her iconic attacking stance.

Perfect for collectors of retro vinyl figures, fans of Harryhausen’s legendary stop-motion artistry, and anyone who loves mythic monsters reimagined with style and soul.

Don’t just face the legend—own it. Medusa awaits.
