For the 1968 Yearbook cover to
Famous Monsters of Filmland, painter Ron Cobb did a now iconic interpretation of Galligantua, the two-headed giant from the 1962 film
Jack the Giant Killer. Officially licensing Cobb's rendition from
FM Magazine, former Mondo creative director
Justin Ishmael launched his own toy brand last year, debuting with the 11-inch tall renditon of that cover image in soft vinyl: "Galligantus"! Cast in sofubi by Luke "
Grody Shogun" Rook from an original sculpt by
Handsome Taro, the newest rendition of "Galligantus" is cast in green Japanese vinyl and comes in three forms: unpainted for $165 apiece, painted for $225 apiece, and painted with pewter helmet made by
Han Cholo for $350 apiece. All pre-orders with the pieces expected to ship late this year or early next, they can be ordered from
Ishmael's online store now for an unspecified time.
