The cool cats at Cult Collectibles are at it again! check out the news for the latest bobblehead coming our way! Next up is the Lucio Fulci "Cat in the Brain" Weird Wobbler!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Lucio Fulci’s CAT IN THE BRAIN “Weird Wobbler” Bobblehead figure available for preorder!
October 5, 2011
Cult Collectibles in association with Box Office Spectaculars is proud to announce the release of the Lucio Fulci – CAT IN THE BRAIN "Weird Wobbler" bobblehead figure. Based on Lucio Fulci’s portrayal of himself in his 1990 film CAT IN THE BRAIN, this is the world’s first fully authorized figure of any type of the beloved Italian director.
The film features Fulci as a horror film director who believes he is losing touch with reality. Fulci fills the movie with his wicked sense of humor and literally assaults our senses with a seemingly endless barrage of violence, gore and sex!
Having previously released the incredible “Weird Wobbler” bobblehead figure for Fulci’s THE BEYOND (the world’s first bobblehead figure with an alternate detachable face), Cult Collectibles jumped at the opportunity to produce a figure of the director.
Owner Mark Jason Murray comments, “Fulci’s films were a major discovery for me in my pre-teen years during the wonderful era of ‘mom and pop’ video stores! Decades later I am still as much of a fan as ever and really wanted to pay tribute to Lucio himself. He was a master film maker even in genres outside of horror. For many of us, his horror films are the classics of our generation. I wanted to produce a figure for the true fans in honor of him.”
The figure shows Fulci wearing a flannel hat and jacket as shown in the film. “Fans kept coming up to me at conventions telling me to have Fulci in his ‘hunting outfit’… which was always the plan from the start, so I knew right away I was on the right track,” states Murray. “I also wanted to give it a little more personality, so I have Lucio holding a pipe in one hand since he was an avid pipe smoker.”
The film CAT IN THE BRAIN features the acclaimed Italian horror maestro Lucio Fulci (director of such genre classics as ZOMBIE,HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY, THE BEYOND, CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, etc.), starring in this blood-soaked epic as a director being driven insane by his own movies. Fulci is thrust into an ultra-violent nightmare of death and depravity where murder and madness consume his sanity in a vortex of violence! The film is currently available in a deluxe two DVD set from Grindhouse Releasing / Box Office Spectaculars.
Cult Collectibles has quickly become known for its attention to detail, incredible packaging and high quality products. This figure is of no exception and one that no true fan of horror should be without!
