Joss
Whedon is known for the post-modern deconstruction of myth: for
genre bending that mixes humor, horror, sci-fi and drama to great
effect; and for some of the cleverest dialog in entertainment. But
above all, Joss is best known for creating babes who kick ass. And
no Whedonverse character kicks more ass than River Tam of the TV
series Firefly and the movie
Serenity.
River is posed in the midst of battle
with the Reavers, displaying a dancer's grace with a look (and a
copious spattering of her enemies' blood) that shows she means
business. Great pains were taken to study both River's prop sword
and axe as well as her dress and boots, all of which are re-created
in precise detail.
Even the uniquely sculpted, highly
detailed base evokes the atmosphere of Whedon's Firefly and
Serenity Verse, complementing the style and stance of River
herself.
Each River Tam maquette is cast in
polystone resin and hand painted, reflecting the high standards
you've come to expect from a QMx maquette. The River Tam Big Damn Heroes Animated
Maquette is being offered in an edition of 1,500.
