New from Iron Studios is this atmospheric statue of Lon Chaney, Jr. as Universal's The Wolf Man. The sculpt looks pretty nice; the clothing look like the outfit that Chaney wore while he was the monster, but the face, while well done, looks a little off the mark in capturing Chaney's lycanthropic visage.
Pre-orders are available now at various online retailers, but you'll have to wait for almost a year (October, 2022) before it ships.
Wolf Man 1941 Lon Chaney Deluxe 1/10 Scale Statue Wolfman Universal Monsters
Retail price: $179.99
Lurking through the night, between concrete headstones in an old cemetery, a hybrid human and wolf creature watches the full moon illuminate its hunting ground and command its cursed metamorphosis. Once a gentle and a quiet man, of whom only the clothes of that time remain and now a predatory beast with sharp fangs and claws. Using his keen animal senses to locate his next victim, he howls, announcing his presence and in growls, lunges for the attack like a deadly beast. Adding to the collection of the most iconic movie monsters, Iron Studios presents its statue "The Wolf Man Deluxe - Art Scale 1:10 - Universal Monsters", featuring another horror classic, acclaimed and worshiped by fans since the 1940s.
Part of the Universal Monsters horror film franchise, produced by Universal Pictures between the 1930s and 1950s, The Wolf Man of 1941 features the story of Larry Talbot, played by Lon Chaney Jr. When he returned to his ancestral home in Wales for his brother's funeral while defending a young girl from a werewolf attack, despite having defeated the beast, he was wounded by the animal, thus becoming the heir to this curse, and this prediction had been made by a Gypsy fortune-teller named Maleva. On the night of the full moon following this episode, he transformed and killed several villagers. After the film's success, Lon Chaney Jr. repeated his classic role as Wolf Man in four sequels and was the only Universal monster played by the same actor in all of his 1940s film appearances.
Wolf Man is added to Iron Studios' collection as one more pop icon inspired by the horror movies that introduced the first shared universe of characters. They were immortalized in distinct film productions, which defined the visual identity of these monsters and are present in world pop culture to this day.

Factory Entertainment is re-issuing the prop replica of the Larry Talbot Wolf Man cane Lon Chaney, Jr. used in the 1941 film. The first version was available in 2013, but since then their creative team was supplied with some "never-before-seen" reference photographs of the cane. This new version is claimed to be as accurate as possible.
Wolf Man 1941 Larry Talbot Cane Prop Replica Wolfman
Retail price: $349.99
Today, only a single rubber stunt cane head survives in the personal archive of collector extraordinaire Bob Burns, and the replica previously produced by us in 2013 was based on that piece. However, our team was recently provided with access to never-before-seen vintage reference photography of the hero prop, which allowed us to create a new, highly-detailed 3D model, from which we have recreated the hero prop as it appears when first seen in the Conliffe Antique Shop.
Not only is this edition of the cane more accurate to the hero prop, it now features an upgraded all metal handle construction and a solid acacia wood shaft.
Purchased as a harmless gift, this cane ultimately becomes the instrument of Larry Talbot's destruction.
Multiple props were created for the production of 1941's The Wolfman by noted prop-maker Ellis Burman Sr., a functional hero prop and stunt props which were cast in rubber for actor safety.
The wolf head design was based on and hand-sculpted over an existing boar head cane, a popular motif on traditional walking canes.
