Chucky - Good Guys Edition

Chucky - Good Guys Edition

The killer doll is on the blog! I decided to buy Chucky (The bride came as a couple) on ebay. It is in good condition, with just some faded colors. But the rest is great!
I do not have "permission" of my wife to get at my house the Full Size Chucky (it measures a good 15 inches!), I have to content myself with the action figures. Purchased the versions of the fourth film, "Bride of Chucky".

So, I wanted to creat a Good Guys Box, as seem in the movies.
In the Internet  we can easily find the exact images, either loose or the picture of the unfolded box.

Just rebuild and retouch in Photoshop with the right measures and voilá!

The rear also correspond perfectly to what is shown in the movies. I had a "headache" to get fit it all in a A4 size sheets, due to the limitation of my printer. But, cutting here, gluing there, it seems OK after all.

At the top, the opening paper is another loose piece glued to the packaging. Without tabs, which after all, it is not so hard to open.
Inside we find two sections: The assassin couple and their five films in slim Amaray DVD cases, all fit in.

It is true that the appropriate model to be inside would be the version of the first (and second) movie. Butjust look at them, hey, these two sadists with this large smile, behind the plastic, are so creepy!

Ehehe, I love to see them standing there, quiet as they are and all nice (and ready to rip the plastic to... attack!)

Dirty Harry - Suitcase Edition

Dirty Harry - Suitcase Edition

Harry Callahan and his five films landed on my desk. I had to do something for them.
Clint Eastwood deserved something to be worth. Not the stuff they sell on a cardboard edition all around.
I need to say that I feel this case unfinished, where is missing some "gifts"...
In a briefcase 28 x 31 cms, I stayed away from these paper boxes. It seems to remember the James Bond and Matrix attaché cases.

The collage is inserted at the top, with an image from the official edition of the series. A little blurry, but it was the best we got ...


When you open the case, it is divided into small areas for different objects: The DVD, a booklet, a gun, handcuffs and ID badge.

At the top, a kind of wallpaper to give a warm welcome.

The identification card of Inspector Harry Callahan. Here we can see perfectly the biggest absence of the Edition: The badge No. 2211 San Francisco should be included, along with the Inspector ID.
An inspector never leaves home without his pair of handcuffs...

Yes, I know that this is not a Smith & Wesson model 29 ... For now, I have a cheap replica imitating those for kids.


The booklet created from scratch (paginated, printed and joined here at home) with cover art from Olly Moss (the great artist) and inside it contains other information about the five films: Synopsis, credits, trivia, notes production, etc. All the information was taken from Wikipedia.

Under the booklet, are the five DVD's in the Amaray slim box .

It may seem flashy, but I feel there is missing "something."
I've been thinking about joining it some police files as I did for the Police Academy Box, but this time focused on the criminals captured by Callahan. I also thought of creating a small album of pictures, format 10x15 cm black and white, but the pictures of the booklet already illustrate this aspect.
It really  misses the badge... I can find it on ebay for sale, I even could buy it tomorrow.
But it's a bit pricey for a so small bit of iron. I'll wait until the Chinese make it cheaper, ehehe. Worth waiting for...
And also maybe get some bullets to make it all nice!

ELM STREET BOX-SET

Back to the home-made boxes. I have four more to join my works.
Next days I show you the other three. I hope you enjoy!


ELM STREET BOX-SET


Transformation more than simple, but elegant.
The exterior has the look of our familiar Freddy Krueger's sweater, with a logo of Elm Street Collection

The opening is from the lateral, sliding the inside to one of the sides.

It contains the seven movies of the series, on DVD covers Amaray slim, to fit them all (Freddy VS Jason will be apart, because I intend to do with the series Friday the 13th the same I did with this)

Although it contains only the DVD's, I intend to join to it in the future a collection of vintage photographs and posters of the series.
