WHAT'S NEW

Woven for Your Shelf... Black Bear’s 'Wicker Husband' Resin Figure Opens for Preorder!

Wicker Husband hand-painted resin figure prototype

Your shelf might have just found its leading man... and this one comes with a whole lot of woven charm! Black Bear (@blackbearpics) is bringing the Wicker Husband from Wicker into collectible form with an approximately 8" hand-painted resin figure. Limited to just 150 pieces, this is a pretty fantastic little detour from the usual movie collectible!

If you haven’t caught up with Wicker (@wickermovie) yet, the film follows a fisherwoman in a seaside village who grows tired of being ridiculed by her neighbors and commissions herself a husband made from wicker. Naturally, that unconventional romance gets the whole town talking... with jealousy and chaos following close behind. A made-to-order husband becoming a made-for-your-shelf figure? Yep, that checks out!

Andrew Martin (@monstercaesar) handled the sculpt, working from reference images supplied by Wētā, the team behind the suit worn in the film. That connection gives collectors a neat bit of background: the figure’s design was developed with reference to the actual screen costume. Translating all that woven texture into a much smaller resin piece gives the sculpt plenty of detail to show off.

And there’s a lot to look at! Layered patterns run across his face, chest, and arms, giving the body a textured, handmade appearance. Dark trousers break up the woven surfaces, while a little patch of greenery underfoot finishes the presentation. This is the sort of sculpt that makes you lean in for a closer look... then move around to check out another section.

Proposed packaging for the Wicker Husband resin figure

The paint master was handled by Anthony Mestas (@kangolkid), bringing another familiar collectible-industry name to the project. Between Andrew’s sculpt and Anthony’s paint work, there’s a nice combination of character design and surface detail here. We’re especially digging how unusual this guy will look alongside a lineup of monsters, robots, and other shelf residents... he certainly won’t disappear into the background!Preorders are open through Black Bear’s official shop for $149, with shipping expected in December 2026. The figure is cast in resin, hand-painted, and limited to 150 pieces. If character sculpts and wonderfully odd movie creatures are your thing, this one deserves a closer look.

A quick note before ordering: the photos show the prototype, so final production colors may vary. The packaging pictured is also subject to change. Check the shop listing for the latest preorder details... and start thinking about where your new wicker gentleman is going to stand!
