Updated 7/13/06: Mezco produced a really
nifty pair of figures based on their take of the
classic tale of Captain Nemo. The figures were
sculpted by the incomparable Sandy Collora (of
Batman Dead End fame), and the following are the two
ups for the line. First up is Wave Rider Nemo,
complete with weapon.
The next shot gives you some idea of
scale. The two up is around 16" tall.
Next is a series of photos showing
the amazing detail work on this two up. It's
one of the most impressive pre-production items I
currently own:



As you'll recall, there was a second
Nemo in this line, and here's that two-up as well:



Again, it's hard to explain just how
cool and huge these things are in person! To go
along with the Wave Rider Nemo, I also picked up the
two-up of the Wave Rider itself. Talk about
monstrous!
To give you some idea, here's the
Wave Rider and Nemo two ups with the quarter scale
Lord of Darkness figure from SOTA.
The detail on something like this
is incredible.
There's also a wave base that the
Wave Rider fits down inside:
All of this is solid resin, and
very, very heavy. In some of the photos you'll
notice I also included the regular sized test shot
pre-production Wave Rider for size comparison.
Here it is on it's own:
And to complete the uber-cool
display, I know have almost all of the Cabin Control
Nemo accessories/pieces in two ups as well.
Here's the 'basket' with scrolls:
I've added the 6" Batman in the
photos for scale. Here's the pipe, treasure
chest, goblet, spy glass, and huge table.
There's also a bell shaped doo dad that I don't
remember...:
The amount of detail and color on
the chest in the two up scale (sixth scale
approximately) is really impressive:
Here's the two books, sitting on the
large chair:
Largest of the accessories is the
ladder and spear:

There's
a number of items that attached to the walls and
floor, but I don't have those (and suspect they no
longer exist). I'll have to come up with
something nifty to attach these to eventually, but
here is the control stand, some sort of microphone
device that attached to the wall, and the octopus
sextant:

In
the set itself, each sword came with a
sheath. In the two up versions, they
sculpted a sheathed version of the weapon, plus an
unsheathed one. Here's the sheathed version
of the sword in CC Nemo's hands in the photo
above, plust two of the smaller knife:
And here's the final sword, sheathed
and unsheathed. Just to be clear, the sheathed
versions are sculpted that way, and are not
removable:
Here's a second two up of the wave
rider Nemo weapon, along with another piece of the
set that attached to the back wall:
And finally, here's the two sections
of pipe that held the steering wheel to the back and
floor of the set. Batman is standing under the
one pipe, holding it up on his back:
Here's a photo from my review of
the set, for reference:
Along with the two ups, I have some
of the hard copies of the figures. This is the
CC Nemo body:
...and here are hard copies in 1:1
scale to the 6" line of both head sculpts:
