Some exciting new just announced about a new character joining the Chicken Fried Toys Dime Novel Legends line up!
Exciting news is the flavor of the day for Dime Novel Legends here are the Chicken Fried Toys shop. After lengthy meetings with a longtime friend, and some serious and not-so-serious discussion (and 5 dozen eggs, don’t ask!) we would like to announce an addition to our celebrity actors lineup: The GREAT Peter Mayhew!
Now, for anyone who has lived under a rock for the last 40 years, Peter was famous for his role as Chewbacca in the Star Wars franchises, as the Minoton in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, as well as being a mainstay on the convention circuit. What most folks may not know about Peter is that he was a huge fan of the Old West, cowboys, guns, and country living (but maybe not in that order?). As an adopted son of Texas, we felt Peter and his family were way overdue for a figure commemorating his love for his adopted country, his charitable efforts, and the Western genre.
So, to right that situation, we are going to offer up a brand new personal portrait of Ol’ Pete on a brand new “tall build”: body suitable for a man of his stature, in a new Western themed archetype that fits in with our established lineup and world. This long tall drink of water will feature a sculpt of Peter’s personal custom cowboy hat, as well as a matched pair of .45 Peacemakers & holsters that he owned, and a physical sculpt that reflects his unique silhouette all the way down to the ground.
Work is going to begin on this project very soon, with production slated to start some time in the middle of 2021. Once the sculpt turns start to roll in, we’ll share those here on our Facebook page, along with design details and colored art. Be sure to click “save this post” on your multi-media platform of choice to stay up to date on the memorial figure for this much loved character actor and icon.
