The Mummy MPC vintage toy horror figure lost wax bronze cast sculptures

Description: Mummy MPC vintage toy horror figure lost wax bronze cast sculptures This Mummy toy horror figures that I cast in solid bronze was originally produced in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s by MPC (Multiple Products Corporation/Multiple ToyMakers), a plastic toy manufacturer. This unique hand made mini sculpture was hot cast in solid bronze in my workshop, along with several other unusual cast bronze mini sculptures listed in my eBay shop. These are solid bronze objet d'art small sculptures that I've developed through the ancient technique of lost wax casting. They have the potential to last many thousands of years (the oldest found cast bronze objects are nearly 6,000 years old). I consider my bronze cast objects satirical art pieces because I am taking vintage plastic toys that were intended for kids to play with temporarily and then become lost or discarded, and were intentionally produced to not last very long, then turning them into permanent objects that can last millennia. It humors me that these temporary contemporary plastic toy objects cast in bronze might last for thousands of years and could give someone in the distant future a small peek at the childhood culture of our time. In fact, many of the vintage plastic toys that I'm using in the casting process are already showing signs of deterioration and will eventually be lost forever to time, except for those few objects cast permanently in bronze. These small bronze sculptures represent a cryptic one way communication with anyone in the future who might come across them, and I'm inviting you to become its temporary steward to that distant future conversation.
