I was totally into Star Wars before seeing any of the movies. My family had a shared set of action figures (and a Land Speeder) I remember playing with out in the sandbox.
Fast forward 40+ years and I still like a good action figure.
To that end, movies have evolved, as have I.
When Denis Villeneuve’s Dune came out in 2021 it felt like it was a marked change in the sci-fi landscape, with fewer lasers and elevated design all around.
One piece in that struck me in particular was this matador and bull sculpture in the Atreides home.
It crops up again in Dune: Part Two and I made a mental note to look it up afterward.
Search results were loaded with all these 3D printed models (to download or buy pre-made) and I found an artist that makes a nicely finished version on Etsy.
As action figures go, this is a lovely elevation.
