Forbush Man
Manufacturer: Resin Pimps
Sculptor: Unknown
Material: Resin
For those of you
who grew up reading Marvel Comics in the 60’s, you might remember
their self-depreciating title Not Brand Echh! In it, the
folks at Marvel created spoofs of their own characters. Irving
Forbush was once such character and made his first major appearance
in issue #5. While not targeted at any existing character, Irving
was an accidental superhero inadvertently created by his Auntie
Mayhem when she slammed a cooking pot over his head thereby giving
him his disguise he needed.
All of his victories are
purely accidental; lacking superhuman powers, dumb luck plays a
major role in all his adventures. Having read this title as a kid I
of course had to get one of these.
This
is a great little, one piece casting with a lot of detail. The cast
itself was clean with very little clean up. I scraped a few seams,
washed it off and was ready for primer and paint.
The piece is painted by airbrush and
by hand in acrylics.
If you were a
“Marvel guy” and read Not Brand Echh! I recommend this piece.
It’s a fun, easy piece to do in an evening or two. Accolades to
Resin Pimps for taking the time to do a kit of a VERY obscure but
fun character!
