Sideshow has officially unveiled the next addition to its Universal Monsters collection as the Metaluna Mutant from the 1955 sci-fi film This Island Earth gets the Premium Format Figure treatment with a quarter scale, 22-inch tall collectible statue set to join the previously announced Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein pieces; check out the official promotional images and details here…
After nearly three decades, Sideshow returns to the mysteries of space with the Metaluna Mutant! While the character was previously seen in smaller collectible formats, this new quarter-scale version of the indelible pop culture figure brings its unique design to life in a high-end presentation. The Metaluna Mutant Premium Format™ Figure measures 22 inches (55.88 cm) tall, 13 inches (33.02 cm) wide, and 17 inches (43.18 cm) deep and is the ultimate representation of this stunning creature that shocked audiences across America. Its insectoid appearance and crustacean claws evoke nostalgia for retro movie monster makeup, while the bulging brain and oversized head form a quintessential silhouette for the genre.
From its psychedelic red and blue color palette to its unearthly physiology, fans will find no detail has been spared in faithfully recreating this science fiction icon. Large and lifelike, the Metaluna Mutant Premium Format Figure stands upon the craggy vista of a planet’s vibrant surface. Inspired by Atomic Age aesthetics, this creature’s bizarre bug eyes, wrinkled skin, and layered mouth allude to the strange, ionized atmosphere in which it dwells. It may appear out of this world, but the terror and the danger lurk close to home!
