Arnold & Sly: Shoulder to Shoulder

Craig / / 2012, Celebs, Expendables, Expendables II, Tomb

For years fans hoped to see Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger appear in a movie together.  The dream team-up finally occurred in The Expendables.  When it was announced that Arnold would be back in a bigger role for The Expendables 2, fans couldn’t believe their luck.

Speaking of luck, what are the odds that both Arnold and Sly would find themselves side by side in a hospital prep room with both going in for shoulder surgery?  Not to worry though, once they are healed both Arnold and Sly are set to team once again in The Tomb.

Ryan Cody is Expendable

Craig / / 2011, Craig's Sly Art, Expendables

This week Ryan Cody is back with Sly from The Expendables.

I usually try to space out the work of the  artists that I spotlight, but  Ryan is running such an unbelievable sale [where you get a free sketch with every purchase. That’s right. Buy Volume 1 of his sketchbook for five bucks and get a free sketch. Same if you buy Volume 2 or the Icarus Convention Issue] that I want to help him promote it.

So far I’ve ordered both sketchbooks [accidentally ordered Volume 1 twice] and 2 copies of the Icarus convention issue.  If you want to see more of his art then check out Ryan’s blog and his DA site.

Thanks to Ryan! – Craig

Sly Sued

Craig / / 2011, Expendables

A Connecticut screenwriter has sued Sly claiming “The Expendables” closely resembles a screenplay he wrote called “The Cordoba Caper.” The suit doesn’t say how Sly or his co-writer might have ever seen Webb’s script.

And many other sites.

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd created the art above earlier this week.  It’s his take on Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables.   

Mike Torrance can do it all – pencils, inks and colors. You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd and his Deviant Art site.  Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.   You’re also going to be happy to know that once a month Mike has a contest for someone to win a free sketchcard!

 

Barney Ross “Expendables” Statue!

Craig / / 2011, Expendables

Sylvester Stallone fans are going to love this Barney Ross statue sculpted by SZoner, Edinho Maga!  From the HCG website:

  • From the new Sylvester Stallone action franchise The Expendables, we present this 1:6 scale statue of Sylvester Stallone as “Barney Ross”. Depicting his first encounter with General Garza’s soldiers, Sly is still in civilian attire, but still all action with pistol blazing! 
     
    This highly detailed 1:6 scale statue stands approx 14″ tall, and features an authentic likeness of Sylvester Stallone as Barney Ross. Constructed from heavyweight polystone and then hand painted to the finest detail, it comes complete with a movie themed display base.There is no HCG Exclusive version of this piece. However if you like low serial #’s, we are reserving # 1 to # 100 for retail customers only. So the first 100 retail orders will receive the desirable low edition numbers!

Strictly Limited to 500 Pieces Worldwide.  $149.95 and HCG 4 Pay is available

As an added bonus for SZoners, if you use the coupon code “Barney” at checkout you will receive a 10% discount thanks to Mark and the fine folks at HCG! My guess is that this statue will sell out fast, so get your order in early if you want one! – Craig
