Sculpted by Gabriel Marquez and limited to 1,993 pieces worldwide, it depicts the movie’s main character, Ash, battling a skeleton and holding a chainsaw. The scene is taken right from the original movie poster. Crammed with intricate detail, it’s more than 12” wide and 16” tall.
— “Army of Darkness”: Released in U.S.: February 19, 1993. Total U.S. Gross: $11,502,976. This was a small cult favorite (the third of the Evil Dead movies), directed by Sam Rami of (now) “Spiderman” fame. Never a huge success as a movie, it had rabid fans and really, really cool images that made great toys. With the passing of Palisades Entertainment, makers of fine collectibles, the market has dwindled to one major figurine, but it does well.
— “Army of Darkness has always had a bit of a cult following in the pop-culture
world,” relates Corey Stinson, owner/proprietor of SmallJoes in St. Charles, Mo.
— Tom Rexford of Chicago’s Collect ’Em All store, has seen a rise in the Army of Darkness figures: “I think Spiderman had a lot to do with it. Suddenly, it was okay to like Army of Darkness, where before it was a dirty little secret. Sam Rami is a master.”
