The magic , creative genius of Ray will always on my list of the all time greatest story telling. The Greek Mythology epic adventures were my first experiences in my youth. This Kraken piece is so magnificently reproduced ! One day I would love to travel to the UK to specifically see the treasures in the Harryhausen exhibition.
Mine arrived today and I was blown away by the box size, art packaging and sculpture. I'm still in awe of it all. Love to see Calibos and Medusa done next.
Extremely epic! His eyes look amazing seeing them on the actual Star Ace model than the pictures off the website. Might have to dab a bit of blonde paint on Andromedas hair when she shows up. So exciting!
Fantastic! My favorite of all Rays’ creations. I was hoping to have him for Christmas, but alas, I’ll have to wait a little longer.Thanks very much for sharing, I thoroughly enjoy it!
Hello 👋🏼 John! Yesterday was an amazing 🤩 epic day for me! As I received the Star ⭐️ Ace figure, that seemed the most unreachable for me, due to it’s very high cost 💰, but I sold a X-Plus Gamera figure I had lol 😂, and bam 💥 I bought my Star ⭐️ Ace Ray Harryhausen KRAKEN figure! And I want to greatly Thank You 🙏🏼, for being my greatest inspiration in purchasing this amazing 🤩 figure! This video review was the one that motivated me, to purchase this beautiful epic KRAKEN figure! I bought the Deluxe Version of it as well, with Princess Andromeda 😊. I still haven’t taken my Kraken out it’s box 📦, but I will very soon. It’s a very expensive figure 😬💰, but worth every single penny! Thank You 😊 John! Keep up the amazing work you do, for the Collector’s community.
Thanks Ronnie. What a special day for you receiving the mighty Kraken and a special day for me with your heartfelt comments about my video. It makes it all worthwhile knowing that serious collectors like you support Ray’s legacy.
@@WalshBros You’re very welcome 😊 John! I greatly appreciate your kind words as well! I’m so excited to add this Humongous figure to my collection 😃. I also Pre-Ordered yesterday from Star ⭐️ Ace the special limited edition of the Green Cyclops 👁, that’s going to be released in 2023, only 150 of those are going to be made, so I hurried and pre-ordered mine 😃. I try my best to keep Ray Harryhausen’s Legacy alive as well 😊.
Hello 👋🏼 John! It’s me again 😃, I use to just watch the videos, and never comment, but I’m going to start commenting now 😊. When it comes to the Ray Harryhausen Star ⭐️ Ace figures, this would be my Crown 👑 Jewel 💎, I really want this figure, but it comes with a hefty price tag thou 😢. So far I have 2 Star ⭐️ Ace Cyclops 👁, the deluxe and regular versions of the Cyclops! I also have the Star ⭐️ Ace Gwangi, the regular version, the Ymir deluxe version, the One Million Years B.C. Allosaurus, the deluxe version, with Tumac, but the Kraken is the one I strive to having one day! I want the deluxe version, with Andromeda and the Sea 🌊 piece. I really hope Star ⭐️ Ace releases more Ray Harryhausen figures in 2023, I absolutely LOVE ❤️ them!
Thanks Ronnie. I feel the call of these great models too. Thanks for building your collection. You are in the draw for all of the items you comment on. Will be announcing nee round of winners shortly.
@@WalshBros You’re very welcome John! So far of the Ray Harryhausen Star Ace figures, the two figures that I’m missing, that I want in my collection are The Triceratops from One Million Years B.C., the polyresin statue version, and the deluxe Kraken. Oh WOW 🤩 that’s awesome!!! Thank You so much 😊.
I just got an email notification from BigBadToyStore that my preorder will be charged soon. I’m so stoked to get this thing but I bet the shipping and customs charges are going to be brutal. Thanks for the preview.
@@WalshBros So, we're back to King Kong to the Kraken. I was reading about Willis O'Brien. The guy who did Kong and Ray's inspiration. Like it was meant to be.
Great stuff! Really takes me back to when I was wide eyed and in awe of the Kraken when watching the movie. Was super jealous of my cousins as they had the action figure. I really hope they do Medusa as well!
Hello again Mark I am delighted to tell you that you have been selected as the winner of The Kraken model. CONGRATULATIONS! Please get in touch with your full details so we can send the mighty titan off to you. contact me via my website www.johnwalshfilmmaker.com
hi john is it possible at all to just buy the piece of plastic sea that comes with the deluxe version of the kraken and the rock with andromeda on seperately and if so how do i get them and where from
Movies back then were absolutely magical, in storytelling and scope. The beautiful scores were final icing on the cake 🎂. There's no magic or inspiration anymore 😢, seems to be all be political and personal agendas and corporate profit. I've noticed that most movies scores sounds very generic with "NO" heart or emotions. I really want to bringing the back those types of movies that I grew up with ever since I was toddler and younger ages in 2000s era with more "Absolutely Magical", "Storytelling" and "Scope". Even more "Heart and Emotion".
@@WalshBros A lot of movies do that, but there are still some good ones. The main ones that awful to me that are intentionally bad just for money, a cash grab. 😒
@@WalshBros Today it's a quick cash grab, with use of effects and big names in the movies. I love the storytelling part, the sending a message to the audience, that's what should be, the soul and heart needs to come back in films and Hollywood became too powerful, meaning they can get away with making bad movies.
@@WalshBros Back then movies had individualist them, today it's about ideas like social justices and feminism. Those ideas take away from the true hero's journey and make it difficult to identify with the characters.
I simply can't imagine anyone unboxing this without a bombastic reciting of Laurence Olivier's epic line. 😉
Thanks Russell.
Absolutely beautiful! I’d like to think Mr Harryhausen would be proud of such an amazing recreation of his work, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for liking!
I met Ray and have a photo with him that I’m very proud of. He was and always will be an inspiration to us all.
The magic , creative genius of Ray will always on my list of the all time greatest story telling.
The Greek Mythology epic adventures were my first experiences in my youth.
This Kraken piece is so magnificently reproduced !
One day I would love to travel to the UK to specifically see the treasures in the Harryhausen exhibition.
Thanks Victor this is the best Kraken ever!
Love it!
Really hoping they bring out a Medusa!
🙏🏻
Thanks. Keep your eyes peeled or perhaps covered as her stare will turn you to stone.
@@WalshBros Hahaha awesome!
Thanks for the videos John! 🤘🏻
Mine arrived today and I was blown away by the box size, art packaging and sculpture. I'm still in awe of it all. Love to see Calibos and Medusa done next.
I can confirm that Medusa is coming soon.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for all of the great videos :)
thanks Dave, Happy Christmas.
Excellent video from start to finish.

A superbly detailed Model, and seeing it unpacked takes me back to that fabulous film, and my initial love for these stories.
Thanks Helen

Amazing piece, talos is coming to take residence today!

Such a beautiful monster he looks related to the Ymir.
Thanks Robert.
I wish McFarlane Toys would do a complete, "Harryhausen," line. From King Kong to the Kraken.
Nice idea but Kong was not a Ray creation.
@@WalshBros Ok, then, Mighty Joe Young to the Kraken. ;-P
@@michaelccopelandsr7120 Sounds like a plan! But Ray did try and make his own Kong movie in the late 1960s.

What an absolute master of a monster👍 incredible to see this😃
Thanks Alan
Looks awesome And can't wait to get it but wished the seam that connects the tail to the body wasn't so obvious in the gap.
A masterpiece of animation. Can't wait for it be released. Hopefully a Bubo review next.
Thanks. Yes Bubo is coming soon!
Fantastic, I can't wait to get mine.
I really hope we get the hydra from Jason eventually, and maybe even the centaur from Golden Voyage.
Great calls there Mark I fully agree. Plus would like to see Minaton too.
@@WalshBros Yes, Minaton would be great too. Aside from Medusa, do you know what others (if any) we can expect?
Yes Talos, Kali and Bubo are on the way.
Hello again Mark I am delighted to tell you that you have been selected as the winner of The Kraken model. CONGRATULATIONS! Please get in touch with your full details so we can send the mighty titan off to you. contact me via my website www.johnwalshfilmmaker.com
Wonderfull.....❤❤❤
Thanks 🙏
This would look epic next to my Starace Bubo once it comes out
keep some space for Pegasus too as he comes with a mini Bubo and Medusa head!
Oh boy, we just need a new 1/6 scale Perseus to ride Pegasus 😁, I have the Go Hero version but can use an upgrade for sure
@@danimal7988 easy cowboy let's not get carried away!
Can’t help but to get excited from these reveals 🤷🏻♂️😅
7:21, I really like the Kraken's scary face very much.
Does the tail stay snug in place cause it looks loose and a big gap in between?
Hi Albert yes when the plastic cools it locks tight.
Where can I buy these fantastic figures?
Search for StarAce Toys and find a seller in your area or on EBay.
When is this supposed to be released? I haven't seen any information on it or pricing?
hi john is it possible at all to just buy the piece of plastic sea that comes with the deluxe version of the kraken and the rock with andromeda on seperately and if so how do i get them and where from
