The classic Metal Man of Oz in a new statue from Iron Studios!
In the enchanted land of Oz, a brave girl discovers a mysterious metallic figure on the edge of the yellow brick road. Hidden by trees and bushes, a man entirely made of tin and completely rusted murmurs in agony for his oil can. After freeing him from his rust prison and helping him get back to moving and speaking, he tells her his sad story, that he felt empty inside because the Tinsmith that made his body forgot to add a heart. He then joins the young Dorothy in the search for the enigmatic wizard, that can help her get back to her home in Kansas, and maybe give a heart to her new friend. Iron Studios bring the statue of the classic “Tin Man Deluxe - The Wizard of Oz - Art Scale 1/10”, played by Jack Haley, with his clock ticking on the left side of his chest, wielding his axe and walking over a pedestal of the yellow brick road, with the landscape of the towers from the Emerald City in the background.
Based on the original novel from 1900, considered the first North American fairytale, on a farm in Kansas’ countryside, the protagonist hero of the story, Dorothy, an orphan girl in her early teens, and her pet dog Toto, are taken by a hurricane together with their house. Sucked into the heart of the storm, the house spins until it lands, and Dorothy realizes she is not in Kansas anymore and that she must have crossed over the Rainbow. She finds herself in a place with bright blue skies, beautiful green hills, tall trees with juicy fruits, and giant flowers in a wonderful landscape. Glinda, the pretty Good Witch of the North, appears right in front of her and tells her that she is in the magic Land of Oz and that her house dropped on the Wicked Witch of the East and killed her. Dorothy is declared a hero by the Munchkins, small people that suffered as captives of the Wicked Witch, but her green-skinned sister, the Wicked Witch of the West, arises to avenge her and claims her magical Ruby Slippers, now in Dorothy’s possession. In the search for the way back to Kansas, Dorothy follows the Yellow Brick Road seeking the Emerald City, where the Wizard of Oz lives, the only one who can help her, according to Glinda. Along the road, she finds a talking Scarecrow, a Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion that join her in the search for the wizard, and each one of them has a personal wish to ask him. But on this journey, they’ll have to face the Wicked Witch of the West, which aims to recover her sister’s ruby slippers and use their power to become the most powerful being in Oz.
