Together with his grandfather Joe, and the other children and their parents, Charlie embarks on an adventure in a fantasy world inside the factory, with Wonka as his host and guide, who in the end reveals the real reason for such a contest. Among the five children who find the Golden Ticket is Charlie Bucket, a poor newspaper delivery boy who lives with his widowed mother and his bedridden grandparents. “Locked for years to protect his secrets from competitors, candy maker Wonka announces that he has hidden five “Golden Tickets” in chocolate bars distributed around the world, and those who find them will win a tour of the factory and a free, permanent supply of their chocolates. Willy Wonka, owner of a mysterious chocolate factory, introduces himself holding one of his famous Wonka chocolate bars, wearing his peculiar tuxedo and top hat, with impressive fidelity to Wilder’s features, on a diorama base of a fictitious edible garden, all made of sweets and treats, one of the worlds inside the factory, beside a river of chocolate and two smiling Oompa-Loompas, little men from a distant land, who work at the factory.” “Celebrating the 50th anniversary of this unforgettable production, Iron Studios brings, from into their imagination, the “Willy Wonka Statue – Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – Art Scale 1/10 – Iron Studios”, a fantastic and unprecedented collectible, created especially for fans and collectors around the world.

Iron Studios Willy Wonka Deluxe Art 1/10 Scale Statue is available for pre-order now and is slated for a Q4, 2021 release. I love when companies go the extra mile like this, ensuring that an already fun hobby is even more enjoyable. Wilder’s take on the character, based on Roald Dahl’s novel, was quintessential in my eye and there really is no reason to try to improve upon it when the original is sitting right there for viewing whenever anyone wants.Īpparently, Iron Studios is truly remaining true to the spirit of the film and are hiding “Golden Tickets” inside random boxes of the release for select customers to discover, just like Wonka did with his candy bars in the story.

I grew up watching the original Wonka film and never had much time for the Tim Burton-helmed 2005 remake. The characters are standing in what looks to be the Candy Garden, judging from the small details like the flower lollipops and the chocolate river. The amazingly-sculpted and painted statue features Wonka himself, holding one of his famous chocolate bars, flanked by two of his hilarious helpers, the Oompa-Loompas. Iron Studios has placed up for pre-order their 1/10th scale statue of Wonka as played by the stellar Gene Wilder, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the film classic, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonka is back and we’re not talking about that horrible Johnny Depp-version from over a decade ago.
