As You Wish

Rob Reiner’s ‘The Princess Bride’ is largely considered to be a cinematic classic, with it’s larger than life characters, family-friendly humor, and smart writing that leads a star-studded cast through the adventure of a lifetime! The team at Quantum Mechanix believes this is a film worth celebrating, which is why this summer they’re bringing one of the film’s leads to your collection in glorious 1:6th scale! Up for pre-order now is the all-new 1:6th scale Wesley (AKA The Dread Pirate Roberts) from ‘The Princess Bride’! This new figure sports an uncanny likeness of actor Cary Elwes with both a masked and unmasked head included, plus a number of alternate hands, a sword, and a special figure stand! Quantum Mechanix’s new ‘The Princess Bride’ Wesley 1:6th scale figure is set to release this August with a price of $199.95! Check out the full release info from QMX below!

Scaling the Cliffs of Insanity. Wrestling Rodents of Unusual Size. Battling Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die. It’s all in a day’s work when you’re the Dread Pirate Roberts.

The cult classic 1987 film The Princess Bride has captured the hearts and minds of fans the world over. We include ourselves among them, which is why QMx is so excited to present you the first ever officially-licensed 1:6 scale articulated figure from the film: Westley, also known as The Dread Pirate Roberts.

This 1:6-scale figure re-creates the iconic character in exquisite detail. Standing approximately 12 inches tall, every element, from his pirate’s tunic to his rapier, is authentically reproduced. He has two different heads; The masked Dread Pirate Roberts and the unmasked Westley – both with the authentic, hand-painted likeness of Cary Elwes.

The QMx Westley 1:6 Scale Articulated Figure includes:

  • Fully Articulated Body. More than 30 points of articulation allow the figure to be displayed in multiple dynamic poses.
  • Two Realistic Portraits. Lovingly rendered by QMx’s team of top sculptors, the heads have an exacting likeness of Cary Elwes as both the romantic Westley and as the heroic Dread Pirate Roberts (mask and head scarf are not removable). Each head sculpt is hand-painted.
  • Black Pirate Costume. Includes a puffy pirate shirt and black pants – both painstakingly crafted replicas of the movie outfit.
  • Sword belt. A leather-like sword belt with electroplated buckles and a sword hanger for Westley’s weapon.
  • Pirate Boots. For firm footing when wrestling giants.
  • Pirate sword and scabbard. An electroplated sword, which can be wielded in either the left or right hand (critical for those who have studied their Agrippa), fits nicely in its scabbard.
  • Wine goblet. Never go in with a Sicilian… without the proper wine cup.
  • Hands: Seven gloved hands and two bare hands are included for assorted swashbuckling activities.
  • Display Base: A round display base featuring the Princess Bride logo. It will hold up the figure (even when mostly dead).
