Children of the Hydra Set

The Children of the Hydra Skeletons are amongst the most famous stop motion creatures created by Ray Harryhausen. Featured in the cult classic film Jason and the Argonauts, seven skeletons are spawned from the teeth of the slain Hydra by King Aeëtes of Colchis. Five skeletons arise from the ground wielding swords and shields, alongside two holding spears. To mark the 50th Anniversary of the 1963 release of Jason and the Argonauts, Raven Armoury and the Ray & Diana Harryhausen Foundation have produced a limited edition of miniature skeletons based on original artwork by Ray Harryhausen.

Only 20 complete sets in Darkened Bronze and Silvered Bronze were made. Each of these sets comprise of seven skeletons and includes an exclusive eighth sculpture, Theta (which is not available for purchase individually). The skeletons are approximately one tenth life size and would be seven inches tall if standing upright. Each sculpture is hand-made, carefully assembled bone by bone in wax then lost-wax cast into bronze.

Part of a small edition of 10 complete sets of seven individual skeletons in Silvered Bronze. Each of these sets includes an exclusive eighth sculpture, Theta (this is not available for purchase individually). Produced in collaboration with the Ray & Diana Harryhausen foundation.
