Arnold Ventures Launches Highly Collectible Bigfoot Die-Cast Series, Bringing Legendary Creature to Life
HOUSTON, TX – October 26, 2023 – Arnold Ventures LLC, a Houston-based investment firm known for backing innovative companies, today announced the launch of a new, highly collectible die-cast series featuring the legendary Bigfoot. These meticulously crafted models aim to capture the mystique and power of the iconic cryptid, offering collectors and enthusiasts a unique piece of folklore. For those unfamiliar, Arnold Ventures LLC (located at 1717 WEST LOOP S STE 1800, HOUSTON, TX, 77027-3049, UNITED STATES – you can reach them at 760-353-6462) isn’t usually known for toys. They're typically in the business of supporting organizations tackling big societal problems – things like criminal justice reform, education, and public health. So, why Bigfoot? “We’ve always been a company that likes to think outside the box,” explained a spokesperson for Arnold Ventures. “We invest in ambitious ideas, and sometimes, that means exploring something a little…unexpected. The Bigfoot legend is enduring, a fascinating piece of American culture, and we saw an opportunity to create something really special for collectors.” More Than Just a Model: A Detailed Look at the Bigfoot Die-Cast Series These aren't your average toy Bigfoot figures. Arnold Ventures has gone to great lengths to ensure accuracy and detail in these die-cast models. The series will initially launch with three distinct Bigfoot variations, each representing different reported sightings and environments. The "Northern Woods Wanderer": This model depicts a classic, heavily furred Bigfoot, standing approximately 6 inches tall. It’s posed as if cautiously navigating a dense forest, complete with sculpted pine needles and fallen branches on the base. The fur texture has been painstakingly recreated, showcasing a realistic, rugged appearance. Collectors can expect a dark brown and reddish-brown color scheme, mirroring reports from the Pacific Northwest. The "Swamp Dweller": This variation portrays Bigfoot in a more aquatic setting. Standing around 5.5 inches tall, the model features a slightly leaner build and darker, almost black, fur. The base depicts a murky swamp environment with sculpted cypress knees and Spanish moss. This model emphasizes Bigfoot’s reported adaptability and connection to wetland habitats. The "Sierra Shadow": This is the most elusive of the initial releases. Standing approximately 7 inches tall, the Sierra Shadow depicts Bigfoot in a rocky, mountainous terrain. This model is slightly more muscular and features a lighter, grey-brown fur coloration, suggesting adaptation to higher altitudes and harsher climates. The base is a detailed recreation of a rocky outcrop, complete with sculpted granite and scrub brush. What Makes These Die-Cast Models Different? Several key features set the Arnold Ventures Bigfoot die-cast series apart from other collectible figures. Die-Cast Construction: Utilizing high-quality die-cast metal, these models offer a substantial weight and premium feel. This isn't plastic; it's a solid, durable collectible built to last. Hand-Painted Details: Each model is individually hand-painted, ensuring a unique and high level of detail. From the texture of the fur to the expression in Bigfoot’s eyes, no detail has been overlooked. Highly Detailed Bases: The bases aren't just afterthoughts. They are meticulously crafted dioramas, bringing the Bigfoot’s natural habitat to life. They add significant value to the display and enhance the overall collectible experience. Limited Edition Runs: To maintain exclusivity and appeal to serious collectors, each Bigfoot variation will be produced in a limited edition run. This means once they're gone, they're gone, potentially increasing their value over time. Collector’s Packaging: Each model comes packaged in a custom-designed collector's box with artwork inspired by vintage Bigfoot sighting reports and folklore. The box also includes information about the specific Bigfoot variation and its reported habitat. Beyond the Collectible: A Nod to American Folklore Arnold Ventures sees this product line as more than just a way to generate revenue. They believe it’s an opportunity to celebrate American folklore and spark curiosity about the natural world. “Bigfoot is a cultural icon,” the spokesperson added. “He represents the mystery of the wilderness and our fascination with the unknown. We want these models to inspire people to learn more about the environments where Bigfoot is said to roam and to appreciate the beauty and fragility of our planet.” Availability and Pricing The Arnold Ventures Bigfoot die-cast series will be available for pre-order starting November 15th, 2023, exclusively through the company’s website ([fictional website address - arnoldventurescollectibles.com]).
