I saw this on Ebay USA and thought....Hmmm, I know that artwork of the spaceman but can't think where.
Can you readers?
Postscript:
I had wondered if the figure was 'inspired' by Big Jim's Captain Laser ....
But keen-eyed readers Arto and Steve P have totally nailed it,
its from the Flash Gordon movie poster by Renato Casaro [cheers Steve and Arto!]
Reminds me of illustrations on some 70's-80's Flash Gordon toys, though maybe not with the exact same pose.
ReplyDeleteArto's right-it's ripped off from the 1980 Flash Gordon movie poster, designed by famous Italian artist Renato Casaro.
ReplyDeletewell done Guys, that's great. Job done. I'm sure I have a knockoff Greek Batman action figure on a card somewhere with the same lifted Flash artwork too!
