James Jean TMNT Statues Revealed...
Good Smile Company revealed at New York Comic Con that they are teaming up with Nickelodeon to bring you everyone's favorite pizza loving ninja turtles. Four individual sculptures will see release based on acclaimed fine artist James Jean’s original rendition of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. All four statues can be combined to create one large diorama sculpture (prototypes shown at NYCC). The individual statues will roll out separately, starting with the pre-order release of Leonardo in November 2014 (pictured above) and the remaining three in 2015.
A key highlight to this project is the collaborative efforts between Takanori Aki, President and CEO of Good Smile Company, Inc. and James Jean. Known as the most awarded cover artist in comic book history and renown for a global collaboration with Prada, Jean stepped away from commercial work to focus on painting. Jean was asked by his good friend Aki to make a rare appearance back into the realm of commercial art to help in the visual development of the sculptures. Jean created an image that is reminiscent of the classic comic book version the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
“James Jean is a good friend and one of the most talented artists that I have had the fortune to work with,” says Takanori Aki. “The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles art piece he created for our project is truly fantastic. Staying true to his vision, our Good Smile Company creative team worked intricate details into the collectible statues which capture the essence of his artwork and will be just as great.” Jean says, “Good Smile Company and I have shared many adventures in the past, and this is a unique and rare collaboration that I hope the fans will treasure.”
