Thundercats, Hoooooo!







Hard Heroes Statue: Lion-O
Sculpted by: Paul Bennett
Discription: cold-cast porcelain statue.
Aprrox. 14 inches tall

This sculp is an absolute gem my fellow collectors!
A diamond in the rough. Hard heroes and mr. Bennett have revived an 80s classic with the power of cold-cast porcelain and the swift precise stroke of a air brush. though hard heroes is not the only franchise delivering these timeless cartoon characters, I've got to say in my most honest opinion they're the only ones really "GETTING IT"! Bennett has captured Lion-O's pose in the spitting image of the shows introduction.The base of this beautiful piece is designed to look as if he's on the plateau where the Cat's Lair stands. This piece, even though Lion-O wasn't the tallest of the cats, will tower over all the other sculpts because of the base itself. The Sword of Omens and Claw Glove were nicely painted along with his actual outfit.
The paint on the claw delivers a furry look to it and the gems have a nice sparkle.The sword looks great. How Bennett gets such detail in something so small is amazing!
Overall I give the piece a 7 out of 10. If I had to judge it against other thundercat piece I would give it a 9.5. Until next time next time guys...

Craze-O
