The Golem Silent Screamers Edition By Art Asylum From Der Golem
The item viewed is a edition figure of The Golem from Der Golem by Art Asylum (Silent Screamers Edition). Aztech Toyz, and their premiere action figure
product line was Silent Screamers, based on the classic silent movies. For
various reasons known only to the parties involved, Aztech split into two
companies, one of which (Mezco Toyz) continued the Silent Screamers line with a
second series, called Silent Screamers: Reel Masters. The Series 2 figures,
released by Mezco Toys had three
6" scale figures, and the deluxe Golem figure. The figures and the movies
upon which they are based are, Golem - Der Golem, 1915, Maria - Metropolis, 1926, Jekyll & Hyde - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
1920 and The Monster - Edison's Frankenstein, 1910. The film Der Golem is based on
the Jewish legend of the Golem, a creature brought to life from clay in Prague by a Rabbi in the Middle Ages.
Created to be a protector, the Golem turns on those he was to protect. Prague still has a statue of the Golem
near the entrance to the former "Jewish area" - thus the importance
of the door to this figure. The Golem action figure set consists of the figure, a book, and a door with stone base and stands at about
11" tall, and has very limited articulation: neck, waist, boots, hands,
and the right elbow. The
book accessory is a large book of Jewish mysticism. The Door is about
12.5" wide and 19.5" tall. It consists of a stone-texture base, and
the door itself. The display assembles and disassembles very easily into 5
pieces: two for the stone base, two for the door, and one for the point on the
very top. The pieces only assemble one way and are detailed on both sides. This figure comes mint in a condition 8+ box.
