Description
Spinning fast like a whirlwind, the small, robust and fierce Tasmanian Devil moves on the virtual reality basketball court, dribbling the ball in search for victory with a liveliness as eager as his voracious appetite. Known for his speeches made of grunts and growls, and wearing his Tune Squad team's jersey, he gathers with his old friends and companions from the Looney Tunes animations to win and get back to his world. From the new movie Space Jam: A New Legacy, Iron Studios present their new statue "Taz - Space Jam: A New Legacy - Art Scale 1/10", with the cranky, but also sometimes sweet and naive character from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated series from Warner Bros.
Chasing Bugs Bunny, the Tasmanian Devil, better known simply as Taz, made his first appearance in the animated short "Devil May Hare" in 1954, created by Robert McKimson. Participating also in other cartoons by Daffy Duck's side, Taz gained popularity in the 1990's as the main protagonist on his own series Taz-Mania with four seasons. Inpatient and owner of a limitless appetite, devouring all that he can, Taz was part of the original Space Jam movie (1996) with the other Looney Tunes and interacting with the legendary basketball player Michael Jordan, he returns in "Space Jam: A New Legacy" with the basketball star LeBron James in a fictional version of himself, where he's abducted by the artificial intelligence called Al-G Rhythm to a virtual reality, in which they need to win a basketball match against the monstruous game avatars of Goon Squad players created by Al-G.
Just like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck Superman and Batman Bugs Bunny, Taz is already available for Pre-Order, and other players from this collection will come soon to be a part of this team. Stay tuned on Iron Studios' social media and their YouTube channel for more news!
