FAN FEATURE FRIDAY #207 - MAJOR TOHT EDITION

Cold, calculating, and utterly ruthless, Major Toht isn’t just a man, he’s a threat in a tailored suit. A master of intimidation and cruelty, he doesn’t need brute force to get what he wants, just a smirk, a whisper, and the promise of something far worse. Whether he’s hunting down ancient relics or making his enemies squirm, Toht is always one step ahead… until he isn’t.

Power has a price, and some treasures are better left undiscovered. But for Major Toht, the warning comes too late. Scroll on to see how Robert, Gabriel, Sam, Paige, Moz, and Charlie captured this villain.

Name: Robert (@toyetic40s)
Location: Kentucky, US
Inspiration: When Toht and his cohorts open the Ark of the Covenant, it turns to complete devastation and chaos. I just wanted to get that feeling of mayhem across, with the ghost acting as an agent of complete vengeance. Toht's destruction is imminent and I love how much that ghost is enjoying the bedlam!

Name: Gabriel (@gbalda)
Location: New York, US
Inspiration: I wanted to capture an extreme perspective of someone “accidentally” falling—while The Shadow just happened to be there by “coincidence”. I used two custom walls and, in the end, neither The Shadow nor I had the heart to send any of the other Mezco's plummeting into the void… Well, except for Arnold. Despite his look of pure terror, he began singing Defying Gravity mid-fall, fully convinced he’d start flying at any moment.

Name: Sam (@artsy_devil_photography)
Location: Florida, US
Inspiration: the reason behind this photo was the Indiana Jones movie, that scene was so fascinating for me when I was a kid and it is still is now.

Name: Paige (@thetoypaige)
Location: Florida, US
Inspiration: Raiders of the Lost Ark is a classic! Full of fantastic performances and even more memorable moments. As a kid one of them that stuck out in my mind was Ark opening face melting scene. I remember trying to look away, but couldn’t. When I got this figure it was something I wanted to try and replicate. The head sculpts we got with Major Toht were so well done that all you have to do is press the button. The figure pretty much tells the story.

Name: Moz (@moz_toy_photography)
Location: Georgia, US
Inspiration: This scene was inspired by the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. This is not a recreation, but more an re-imagining of the scene. The character Major Toht is engaging is the Mezco John Constantine. I wanted to showcase the detail on this Major Toht release, the sculpt on this is uncanny in relation to the actor on which it was based. Major Toht believes he is successful in procuring the amulet required to find the Lost Ark, not realizing an entire side is missing from the brand!

Name: Charlie (@boba_chuck)
Location: New York, US
Inspiration: The inspiration for this photo came from the end scene with the Ark in the movie. That scene used to freak me out as a kid, and now here I am taking photos of it! Lol great movie, great scene, great figure! How can one not be inspired? 👍🏻👊🏼
