If the special screening of Dawn of the Dead with George A. Romero wasn't enough to get you to Dallas this weekend for Texas Frightmare, this should be the push you need. Mondo has announced that they've teamed up with Retroband to offer a George A. Romero action figure that will be available first to those attending the screening:
via Mondo: "We’re gearing up to head to Dallas for Texas Frightmare Weekend, but before we get to the actual con, we are making a stop in Richardson at the Alamo Drafthouse / Texas Frightmare screening of DAWN OF THE DEAD to release the very first OFFICIAL figure of GEORGE ROMERO with our friends at Retroband!
In case you don’t know what Retroband does, let me explain. First, Retroband is actually two people consisting of Gabriel Hernandez and Aaron Moreno. They excel in making limited edition, hand sculpted, hand cast and hand painted figures. They design their own card art and package the figures in San Antonio, TX. I found out about them last year and have been a gigantic fan ever since.
These figures, like stated above, are truly special. We have a limited amount for sale and will be making them available on a first come, first served basis to ticket holders for the 7:35PM and 8:15PM DAWN OF THE DEAD screenings and will cost $100. We’ve very excited about this and hope that you are, too. See you this weekend!"
I'd be very surprised if Mondo didn't have a limited number of figures kept back to offer online and we'll be sure to let you know as soon as any additional announcements are made. We've included photos of the figure before and you can learn more about the special screening by visiting our recent coverage:
