    LIONEL THE LION FACED BOY BARKER BROTHERS STATUE DIORAMA
    BEFORE THERE WAS SIDESHOW TOY, THERE WAS BARKER BROTHERS. THEY BEGAN THEIR GIANT COLLECTIBLES INDUSTRY IN 1995 MAKING GARAGE RESIN KITS ALONG WITH SCULPTOR DAN PLATT. SIDESHOW CAME FROM THEIR FIRST THREE RESIN KITS OF 1930'S CARNIVAL SIDESHOW FREAKS WITH EACH FIGURE ON A VINTAGE STAGE WITH CURTAINS AND A WEATHERED FALSE FRONT WITH AN ALPHABET LETTER ON IT. ORIGINALLY THERE WERE SIX KITS PLANNED AND THE TOPS WOULD HAVE SPELLED OUT BARKER. BUT DUE TO A FALLING OUT WITH THE SCULPTOR, THE SET ENDED WITH THREE KITS AND THE PRODUCTION WAS LIMITED TO 500. THIS KIT DEPICTS LIONEL THE LION FACE MAN SNATCHING THE HAT OFF A LITTLE BOY. LIONEL WAS NO FREAK, JUST A MAN THAT SUFFERED WITH HYPER HAIR GROWTH OF THE FACE, BUT HE PUT ON A GREAT SHOW AS A WILD MAN THAT HAD TO BE KEPT CHAINED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE RUBES IN THE AUDIENCE.
    THE KIT IS 1/6TH SCALE WITH THE FIGURE OF LIONEL CROUCHING AT 7.5" TALL. THE LITTLE BOY SITS ON THE EDGE OF THE STAGE & MEASURES ABOUT 6.5".
    IT DEPICTS LIONEL SNATCHING THE HAT FROM A SHOCKED LITTLE BOY ENJOYING HIS GIANT LOLLY POP. THE ENTIRE DIORAMA IS ABOUT 20" TALL, 12" DEEP & 8.75" WIDE.
    This kit is Professionally Painted. Original box not included. It includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Danial A. Platt & Kenneth J. Morgan. COA is numbered 10/500.
