New York Comic Con 2009 is upon us! We’re just under two weeks away from the Big Apple’s signature event, and the NYCC exclusives The Blot’s seen so far look amazing. This is the second year in a row that ESC Toy’s Erick Scarecrow has launched a brand new figure at NYCC and I think the New York based artist has really outdone himself. His new 10.5 inch Medusa vinyl figure is really quite stunning, and its black and red “Black Mamba” colorway is a great complement to his wicked design. Just look at her shoes! I can’t wait to see what colorway he’s got lined up for his next Medusa release.
But that’s not all, Scarecrow will also be releasing two new colorways of previously released figures exclusive for NYCC 2009. First up is the 3” Medusa Stone Shiitake resin figure. ESC is only making 50 of these hand painted resin figures, so if you are planning on getting a Medusa make sure you get there early so you can also purchase the matching Medusa Stone Shiitake. Just look at the picture below to see how great they go together. Plus, the Medusa Stone Shiitake figure is only $14.99! At that price Scarecrow is basically giving it away, right? That is a ridiculously low price for a hand painted figure.
And last but not least is the third colorway of ESC’s Muraida vinyl figure. The NYCC exclusive Magma colorway is a great complement to Muraida’s crazy look. All of his murky details really shine in this colorway’s bright yellow, orange and red hues. I got to finally see one of the previously released Muraida colorways last week and the figure is even cooler in person than it is in pictures.
All three Erick Scarecrow New York Comic Con exclusive releases can be purchased at the ESC Toy booth #864. The Black Mamba Medusa figure is limited to just 500 pieces and will be sold for $54.99. The Medusa Stone Shiitake is limited to just 50 pieces and will be sold for $14.99, while the Magma Muraida is limited to just 200 pieces and will for $49.99.
For those of you lucky enough to attend NYCC 2009 you will have the opportunity to meet Erick Scarecrow and have him sign your ESC Toy figures at the ESC Toy booth #864 on Friday, February 6th from 12-4, on Saturday, February 7th from 10-4 and Sunday, February 8th from 10-4.
