I was wondering who knows of a figure maker that can make a figure in the style of Frank Marshall?

Dan Willinger was offering a very good Marshall style figure. He worked with a couple of figure makers to produce a first rate Marshall reproduction. Check Ventriloquist Central on the web. Also, Conrad Hartz produces some great classic figures in a style reminiscent of Marshall, but still his own style. He's one of the best figure makers working today.

Dear Ace 9,
Click on the link below, and scroll down to the very last of my postings. http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......orum=182 You will see a photo of my Frank Marshall Tribute figure, made by Glen Rappold. I a very please with this model and it is relatively affordable, when compared to most of the other Frank Marshall look-alikes out there. Glen is a pleasure to deal with. Jonathan

This is the link to the Frank Marshall which I have offered for sale. I have one more remaining and it is an exact Marshall. Dan http://www.ventriloquistcentral.com |

With all due respect...I think Mr Rappold's Marshall tribute only pertains to the paint job The head cast is not Marshall at all but a very nice head cast from Mr Mike Brose.
If you want a Marhsall replica...go to Dan Willinger

I built Henry from a Mike Brose kit because it has that classic (Marshall-esque) look, and it was affordable, plus I could have at least some of my own touch on the finished character. I'm very pleased with the kit and what I was able to do with it... BUT, Henry isn't a Marshall reproduction. If you want the next best thing to an actual Marshall, Dan Willinger has as close as you can get. I have to ask though Ace, are you a collector or is this going to be a working figure. I'm wondering because nobody but another vent is going to care if it's an expensive replica or a more affordable figure in a classic style. If he's just for performing, Jonathan's right, Glenn Rappold offers a nice figure at a reasonable price. You're not telling us much here Ace, except you're looking for a Mack and a Marshall.
