The Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation and Star Ace Toys, Thank you so much for trusting us for Packaging Design :) It's honour to be small part of Great Ray Harryhausen Legacy. We love Bubo so much! He's cute and iconic. Must have item for Harryhausen fans.
Thanks again Richard. The accuracy on this is breathtaking. I have seen all of the models up close. This one from StarAce is a high gold standard. Fitting for this gift from the Gods!
Great job on Bubo. I watched this show hundreds of times as a child in 80s. They have really done a great job with all these replica stop motion pieces.
For me, Mr. Ray Harryhausen was like the incarnation of some ancient god to revive and re-deliver the greatness of the divine in its manifold forms! Clash of the Titans was probably the first movie I have ever watched in my life, and it had the most profound influence on me. May he rejoice in the heavens with the celestial beings he so much was devoted to representing in this life.
This is just as beautiful as the real Bubo. It would be amazing if it clicked and wheezed like the movie. I remember as a kid, rewatching the movie over and over and I couldnt wait til Bubo arrived.
thanks, we worked hard to make this the ultimate version of Bubo. There have been several in the past, including an unreleased one from Mattell from 1981.
Aww, little Bubo. My favourite character from clash of the titans. Having seen two of the models that were on display in the harryhausen exhibit, this new figure is fantastic. Such detail and hard work has gone into this. A true fan would be so lucky to have this to admire at home
Thanks. Check out the Ray Harryhausen podcast where we tracked down the voice of Bubo the Owl 🦉. Episode 30- The Music of Ray Harryhausen Vol. 5: Clash Of The Titans (Podcast Episode 2019)
Incredible! Bubo was part of the original Mattel line, but I don't think I bought him! Almost 14 cm, from the Mattel ad, "Bubo the owl has wings that flap, his head turns manually and he makes a clicking sound. His soft claws can grip a child's finger like a perch." It's great to see a highly detailed Bubo!
This is so beautiful! I remember seeing a figure of Bubo advertised in a sci-fi magazine back in the 80's and I was so disappointed that he was never made. 40 years later and I can finally own a Bubo. I need to save my pennies to try and get one before he sells out.
Aw, I've always loved Bubo, since I first saw the film as a child. I have to own this! One of my best theater experiences was going to a screening of Jason and the Argonauts at Lincoln Center in New York, where Harryhausen spoke about his work and showed off some models from his films, including one of the skeletons (with a cocktail sword) and the Gorgon from Clash.
This film still holds its own which is testament to the genius of Ray. This model looks amazing. I currently collect 6th scale Star Wars figs -think I need to expand my horizon with another childhood favourite. Visited the exhibition twice when it was recently in Edinburgh -seeing Bubo in 'the flesh' was a highlight!!!
Fantastic to see this super clever little owl again, from a time long gone by, before CGI ruined everything in fantasy movies - thank you for posting this superb video A+*****
@@WalshBros Hi there, thanks for your kind reply, i just wish that i could buy this fantastic model for my daughter, but i've searched everywhere & cannot find any retailer that sells this model - can you help please ?
@@WalshBros Thank you for your kind reply, & i will try to locate this little bird on StarAce Toys, fingers crossed. What i find amazing is that its now 34 years since the release of Clash of the Titans, so its taken all this time for Bubo to appear ? When you compare this to the Star Wars movies, & the deluge of merchandise in every retailer around the world just after the movies were released, it seems odd that it has taken so long for Bubo to flap his wings so to speak, ha,ha !
@@minigun1949 well Jon Mattel made a prototype Bubo for release in 1981 but pulled it when the figures didn’t sell. This was because the Star Wars juggernaut pushed other film figures to the kerb with toy shops.
Remember seeing this film at the cinema when I was 8. Love the classic stories and I was obsessed with Pegasus. Bubo has always been a favourite. Well done on the recreation, he really is something special.
These unboxings are great, loved the anecdote about the original being found and Ray's warm reaction! This Bubo is a thing of beauty, so amazing that's not metal. Plus the mini figure as well... too adorable!
Been waiting for this review. Ever since I saw Clash of the Titans in the early 80s when I was 9, i wanted a Bubo, and this one looks fantastic. My Bubo should arrive in a few days, cant wait to get him!
I can remember watching Bubo when I was little and just being spellbound. I really wanted him and totally believed he was alive! This is now at the top of my Christmas list! ( even if I buy it for myself!) P.S. Just watched Toryboy The Movie last night and absolutely loved it - hope you do more films in the future
Thanks Kay. I always thought Bubo would be at home on a Christmas 🎄 Tree. Thanks for watching ToryBoy. Do please leave an Amazon review. It helps move it up the vast list of movie titles. 😃

According to the Venture Brothers, a very wealthy and rotund gentleman named, Augustus St. Cloud owns the original Bubo from the film……….. SAINT CLOUD!!!!!!
@@WalshBros Lol!! It’s actually from a show called Venture Brothers. The creators are huge Harryhausen fans and one of the characters actually has a “real” working Bubo. I think ya might like it my friend!! Love your unboxing and reviews so much!!
Hi John ! I first saw this at this years San Diego Comic-Con. I spotted it at a vendors showcase right away from a distance with glee and beeline to them to see all it's glory along with other Star Ace / Harryhausen figures. When you got to the reveal of the small scale that's included, I was more excited to see that one then the full scale, lol ! What was the largest screen model constructed of and a little insite about the animatronics inside ?
Thanks, Victor glad you liked it. Yes, the largest was the onset version which had animatronics and rod puppetry controls. We have not full stored the mechanical workings yet.
I’ve ordered him, it would have been nicer to get the animatronic version-the bigger one the 40cm version. Also, perhaps give him the head swivel up and down joint. Other than that I’m looking forward on getting him.
Please help me out exist a figure from King kong 1933, King kong 1978 ? I'm looking for this too and King kong 2005 try to put together with my figures Star Ace.

Looks like Star Ace Toys may well be making ALL of the Harryhausen legendary models after all!
I’m so excited to see Medusa! 🙏🏻🦉
Great job on Bubo. I watched this show hundreds of times as a child in 80s. They have really done a great job with all these replica stop motion pieces.
Thanks Michael. Yes Bubo looks amazing as if he could just take flight.
Bubo the great Golden owl. What an Amazing replica and with moving parts , just wonderful.
Awww what a great model but wow, that box is fantastic, the detail is amazing.....beautiful model, that's a sure fire winner amongst fans
Thanks Jamie I was thrilled with the final Bubo here.
What an excellent creation! Magical!
This entire line is awesomeness
Bubo was always my favorite! What a fantastic collectible!
Thanks Michael.
What a fantastic creation of the iconic Bubo. I'm sure Ray would approve.
Beautiful model - thank you for the delightful video!
Also, I want to emphasize how fascinating it is to hear the story behind Bubo and his use in the movies. Thank you!

@@WalshBros Thank you so much, sir! But I live in Egypt, so I wonder if that would be possible. If not, it's perfectly fine:)
@@MohammadMagdi no problem, Mohammad. Email your details and we can get things rolling.
Wow, he’s awesome, he’s just like the one in the movie. Loving these unboxing videos. Thanks John.

I was 9 when I first saw Clash of the Titans and just loved it. This Bubo replica looks fantastic!
Thanks yes he is one that has been part of our cinematic lives.
seeing the life size bubo replica almost makes me want to cry, film and nostalgia are strong. God bless Ray Harryhausen.
Thanks that’s a sentiment shared by so many, myself included.
Wow Bubo looks amazing! I watched Harryhausen films on TV as a child and was blown away by the stop motion animation. I’m 52 now and still obsessed 🤩
Thanks Teena. He’s an icon.
I 💕 Bubo
Great Video
Aww, little Bubo. My favourite character from clash of the titans. Having seen two of the models that were on display in the harryhausen exhibit, this new figure is fantastic. Such detail and hard work has gone into this. A true fan would be so lucky to have this to admire at home
Thanks Suzie, great to see this little owl still getting strong support.
He looks great 👍🏾
BUBO!! He was my favourite when I was a kid, I love him.
(Why no subtitles though? Bit hard on hard of hearing/d/Deaf and peeps with auditory processing difficulties.)
He has great fans like you and me.
My favorite movie as a kid. Now I can own my own Bubo! A sound feature would have been great as I think his sounds are as memorable as his look.

Hi Kyle the Mattel Bubo never got past a prototype and was never released. Great to finally have the definitive one here.
@@WalshBros Wow, I saw the photo and wondered why I never saw it! Thanks.
Awesome can’t wait to see madussa
Excellent model of a great character. 👍
Thanks, Mark. A gleaming chrome version is coming soon too.

Thanks. Yes toy company Mattel has created one in 1981 but they never released it. Great to finally have this identical version.
Great piece!
cheers Ken.
Wow! A superb model of the Minotaur from Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.
thanks Ian.
I love Harryhausen anything!!!! Thanks for doing these! The documentary style intro is pure gold!
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
I love Bubo and Ray Harryhausen's Clash of the Titans! I'd love to add Bubo to my Clash collection!

That's great you got to see Ray on tour! Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience too.
To quote Burgess Meredith, "It's another gift from the Gods!"
Great detail from Star Ace toys and a fun unboxing video as always.
Thanks Ian. Yes the gods must be smiling 😊

Thanks, Sean, for visiting the exhibition Twice! We have worked closely with the design teams at Star Ace to get these as accurate as possible.
Looks fantastic, would love to own a Bubo of my own!
Thanks Mark, you are in the draw.
Great video, John. You should write a book about the making of Clash Of The Titans.
thanks Tom. Clash is on the list!

Still waiting on Calibos, Dioskilos, and the large Vulture with the cage that carries Andromeda to the swamps.
Not expecting him to fly. But, does the head and wings move, and is he vocal like the movie?
The head turns, the beak opens, the legs bend at the knee and the wings open. No vocals from Bubo.
@@WalshBros aww okay! If he was vocal too, Thank you for replying so quickly!
Where could I get one to buy Looks cool .
Google Star Ace Toys to find your nearest outlet.
Ill enter for a chance to win. I want to give my dad a bubo for christmas.
You’re in the draw Roel.
@@WalshBros thanks!😜
Please help me out exist a figure from King kong 1933, King kong 1978 ? I'm looking for this too and King kong 2005 try to put together with my figures Star Ace.

The light up one comes with the Pegasus figure.
Where do we buy all these?!

Love it does it talk make movements or anything?
You can certainly pose the figure but no remote movements.
