Cowardly Lion – The Wizard of Oz – Art Scale 1/10 – Iron Studios

Following the yellow brick road, a girl passes by a dark and scary forest at night, where she comes across an enormous feline figure that jumps out of the dark. Furiously roaring to scare her, she hides behind a big tree, but her pet dog Toto barks and growls at the beast that chases after him. Fearing for her small friend, she slaps the feline’s nose and scolds him, and, to her surprise, the apparently fierce animal has a breakdown and starts crying and sobbing. With the paws retracted and a frightened face, Iron Studios bring the statue “Cowardly Lion – The Wizard of Oz – Art Scale 1/10”, with the anthropomorphic lion of Oz who is even afraid of himself, played by Bert Lahr, with his bravery medal on his chest, over a pedestal of the yellow brick road at his feet. He then joins the girl Dorothy and her friends in the search for the mysterious wizard, so that the lion can ask the wizard to make him brave.

Iron Studios also bring the Deluxe version statue “Cowardly Lion Deluxe – The Wizard of Oz – Art Scale 1/10”, with the frightened feline over a pedestal of the beautiful landscape of his enchanted world, next to a tree from his forest, with towers from the Emerald City in the background and the yellow brick road at his feet.

Based on the original novel from 1900, considered the first North American fairytale, on a farm in Kansas’ countryside, the protagonist hero of the story, Dorothy, an orphan girl in her early teens, and her pet dog Toto, are taken by a hurricane together with their house.

She finds herself in a place with bright blue skies, beautiful green hills, tall trees with juicy fruits, and giant flowers in a wonderful landscape. Glinda, the pretty Good Witch of the North, appears right in front of her and tells her that she is in the magic Land of Oz and that her house dropped on top of the Wicked Witch of the East and killed her.
