Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s distinctive career ushered unforgettable characters onto the screen and into Hollywood history. And now, in collaboration with Miramax, Lucie Kaas proudly expands its Sketch.inc collection with Tarantino’s eight most iconic personas.
Tarantino’s works take place in an alternate universe where fact and fiction live side by side. It’s a world where his characters act, speak, and relate to each other in unpredictable—and often volatile—ways. They play by different rules, and force us to question what is right and what is wrong. Unconventional character development has been central to Tarantino’s signature style. Sometimes despicable, sometimes admirable, they almost all share a celebrity status parallel to the actors who portray them.
In short, Quentin Tarantino’s characters are anything but ordinary… which makes them the perfect addition to our growing line of collectibles designed by Becky Kemp. Characters from the masterworks Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill will be transformed into figures inspired by traditional Japanese Kokeshi dolls.
This Sketch.inc collection will include the following:
PULP FICTION
Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, Pulp Fiction earned a categorical place in cinematic history. The diverse cast, their powerful dialogue, and unparalleled chemistry all contributed to the groundbreaking film’s triumph.
Mia Wallace, wife of crime boss Marsellus Wallace, is one of the film’s most renowned characters. She likes five-dollar milkshakes and rare burgers. She hates mindless chitchat. Mia generates fear in her husband’s hitmen, even though they find her sultry appeal difficult to resist.
Vincent Vega, contract killer for Marsellus, plays a pivotal role with his cold-blooded partner. But, it’s his dance moves with Mia in a 1950s-themed diner that create one of the most memorable movie scenes of the 1990s.
Jules Winnfield, also a hitman for Marsellus, eventually experiences an utterly unique spiritual revelation. His passionate citation of Ezekiel 25:17 could fool anyone into thinking that it actually came from the Bible.
