Elfquest Cutter Mini-Bust


Artist and writer Wendi Pini created one of the most successful creator-owned and published franchises in the comic book industry.

Elfquest revolved around an Elfish society and the diversity of characters therein.

Cutter (who was a warrior) was one of the fans’ favorite characters.

Dark Horse Deluxe released a Cutter figure/bust that is packaged in a heavy paper stock lidded box with color photos of the figure on all sides.

The bust/figure is nestled in a form-fitting Styrofoam cocoon.

The Cutter figure/bust starts at just below the waist at the upper part of his tan trousers.  From there it proceeds to his bare abdomen and chest up to his long brown fur sleeves vest.

His arms are crossed and he holds a large curved blade sword with a curved pommel.  Both wrists have leather strap wrist bracelets with one strand wrapped around his palms.  

The left arm has an upper arm gold band.

Cutter's face with its pointed chin, large expressive blew eyes, small nose, high cheekbones and large pointed ears are framed by his shaggy blond hair tied in a ponytail held in place by a leather strip.

He also has long blond sideburns.

The figure/bust perches on a tree stump with a large wolf head carved into the bark.

Atop the stump is a cluster of green leaves forming a circular halo that the figure emerges from.

My figure/bust is #277 out of 1,500 figures.

Sculpt work looks just like the comic book version of Cutter. Coloration is well done with nice flesh tones, and excellent application on the sword, clothing, tree trunk and leaves.

The figure/bust comes wrapped in tissue paper and is cradled in form-fitting Styrofoam cradle secured with plastic tape.  The entire assembly slides in and out of its box with little effort.
