Star Ace Toys Debuts New Ray Harryhausen Statue with the Minaton
Be wary of the Minaton from the Eye of the Tiger as Star Ace Toys unveils their next Ray Harryhausen statue with the Minaton
Ray Harryhausen has created an impressive assortment of movie monsters during his time, creating stop-motion for the movies. Star Ace Toys has been slowly celebrating and honoring the works of Harryhausen with some new statues. An updated monster has returned, and this one comes back to fans from the film Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. The bronze minotaur known as Minaton has been brought to life and is ready to serve Queen Zenobia once again. In the Eye of the Tiger, Minaton tries to stop Sinbad and has him fail his quest. Star Ace faithfully captures this monster right off the screen and comes in at roughly 12" tall. Each Minaton statue will be hand-painted with a Bronze finish, and a standard and deluxe are getting released. Harryhausen fans can find Deluxe Minaton 2.0 right here for $339 with a March 2024 release.
Beware the Power of Minaton, the Bronze Minotaur
