Iron Man bust from Dynamic Forces - an Alex Ross design scuplted by Edward Endres
Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Marvel Comic's very own shell head, the folks from Dynamic Forces cranked out a massive 15 inch high bust of the golden avenger not too long ago.
Designed by Alex Ross and sculpted by Edward Endres (from Fyberdyne Laboratories) it stands at an enormous 15 inches in height and spans a base of 12. Weighing in with an almighty heft -- the sheer magnitude of which is enough to cause heavy panting -- the Iron Man bust is the kind of ornament best suited to sit on a well convicted wall shelf or sturdy display cabinet.
Despite all manners of crime drama to suggest otherwise, using the Iron Man bust to crack open a skull is not a good idea. There may be left over brain matter to consider. Sinew and hair defying their scalp to become entwined in the blunt object can be quite a task to remove. Even with today's toilet cleaning products.
Given the size of the Iron Man bust, it also may not be a salient proposition to employ it as a door stop. No matter how big the door, there will always be the guest caught up in its shine that they will feel the need to pick up said bust before asking for permission. This will leave a door without a stop and a door without a stop may very well see itself close on a gust of wind. Best avoid the situation altogether.
Product description notes that the beast is "cast in resin and then vaculplated." Akin to the effort today's super heroes fit into their costumes, it's best not to think too closely on that.
