Emce Toys, the brand that revived the classic Mego style 1/9-scale “retro cloth” action figures of the 1970s, is partnering with the Monsterpalooza convention to create limited edition handcrafted Mego-scale exclusives for the April 2012 event in Burbank, California.
To honor legendary Universal makeup maestro Jack Pierce, Emce is creating a very small number of 8” tall figures of Pierce, complete with barber’s tunic and likeness-accurate head sculpt. An even smaller number of Mego-scale replicas of Pierce’s famous makeup chair will be created as well. Pierce’s head was sculpted by Mike Hill, world renowned portrait sculptor and artist whose career runs the gamut from privately commissioned work to Hollywood blockbusters.
Monsterpalooza fans know Hill from his hyper-realistic statue of Boris Karloff being made up in Jack Pierce’s chair (on display
at the 2009 show).
