Tura Satana Action Figure Update!

Posted on March 4, 2023 by megohead1

Tura Satana Action Figure by Odeon Toys

Great news from the factory floor as White Elephant Toyz shared some new images of the “Fresh from the mould” pieces for the upcoming Tura Satana action figure.

The figure’s head has come out of the moulding process, looking just like the original sculpt. The figure will also come with custom-sculpted boots (based on Varla’s look) and gloves.

The official action figure is almost here, sign up for our mailing list to get an exclusive art print and early notice when the figure is ready, so you can, as Varla would say, “Go get her!”

The Tura Satana action figure is being co-produced by White Elephant Toyz and PlaidStallions under license from Tura Satana Inc. and will be available in late 2022. This 8″ retro cloth figure will be a limited edition and come in an exclusive solid box with art by Joseph Michael Linsner.

Tura Satana Action Figure Reveal from PlaidStallions

Posted on November 19, 2022 by megohead1

Tura Santana action figure

Truly honoured to unveil the packaging art for the official Tura Satana action figure coming soon from Odeon and White Elephant Toyz.

The artwork is by the incredible Joseph Michael Linsner, and he blew us away with it, exceeding our expectations.

The package is truly a labour of love and my favourite bit of layout work ever. The vision was to give Tura a truly vintage package and also add a much-needed female member to a Particular Team of Crime Killers.

As added bonus, we’ve got a special look at the final paint master for the figure, which is now in production.

Tura Satana

Legendary actress Tura Satana finally gets her own action figure!

Posted on May 27, 2022 by megohead1

Faster Action Figure! Kill! Kill!

Legendary actress Tura Satana finally gets her own action figure!

LOS ANGELES, CA – “One of Tura’s wishes was for someone to create an action figure of her in full Varlamode,” says Siouxzan Perry, CEO of Tura Satana Inc. in announcing White Elephant Toyz and PlaidStallions.com will produce the first officially licensed Tura Satana action figure. In full Varla mode!

“Satana, star of cult films Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Astro Zombies is famous for being one of the first to use her real-life martial arts skills on-screen, firmly cementing her status as one of cinema’s all-time great action star pioneers.

Tura is also the subject of the forthcoming documentary TURA!, which chronicles her wild on and offscreen life.”

The first release will be based on Satana’s starring role as Varla in the iconic film, “Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” The figure will be fully articulated 8” in a retro cloth outfit complete with a vintage style (and environmentally friendly) box. Variants of this figure and other scales are also planned for 2023.

The official Tura Satana action figure will be available in 2022 at Plaidstallions.com and Whiteelephanttoyz.com websites
