Nothing says classic adventure like Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan does! This GREAT sculpture produced by Electric Tiki in 2008 was sculpted masterfully by Rubèn Procopio who generously donated this long sold-out statue from his personal collection.The Tarzan statue stands approximately 16" tall. It was hand cast in high quality polystone, and hand painted to exacting standards. It is packaged in a durable foam interior and a beautiful full color package that comes hand-signed by the sculptor. It is brand new, and has never been displayed. To top it off, this is not the regular edition, but is a much more rare ARTIST PROOF, and labeled so on the bottom of the box.
Rubèn Procopio is a second generation Disney artist. His father, Adolfo, was a sculptor for Disney Imagineering, having worked on many characters for rides and statues around the various Disney theme parks. Rubèn worked for over 25 years with Disney Feature Animation contributing to films such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. Having learned the sculpting trade from his father, Rubèn formed his own company (Masked Avenger Studios) from which he sculpts for collectible statues (Electric Tiki, Disney Classics Collection, etc.), toys, and even special projects such as sculpting The Sergio Award designed by MAD Magazine artist Sergio Aragonès given to artists and creators of great influence such as Jack Davis, Bil Keane, Stan Lee, and most recently Drew Struzan.
