Artist Biography: Savage Sadboys Custom Studio
We are a one of a kind custom studio, the first based in Italy, dedicated to making lifelike and artistic, fully articulated custom one sixth scale figures. As friends, it all began with our great passion for cinema. As young artists, we dreamed of bringing the most inspirational film figures to life and in the summer of 2019, Alessio Salitore founded the Savage Sadboys Custom Studio. The journey began with our first figure, Rorschach from 2009’s movie Watchmen, by our favorite director, Zack Snyder. Through all the careful study, practice, and apprenticeship, the tiniest of details have required the greatest patience and skill for the work to be a testament to the expertise needed in this craft. We are proud to have the teamwork to commit the love, heart, and aspiration to better our future artistry.
