“Capt QUINT is the first in a new series of collectible 8-inch toys, nautically-themed and retro-styled, by Savannah-based Thomas Troisch, aka Troublefish. Crediting his name to the ill-fated shark hunter of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 JAWS, Capt QUINT is inspired by the distinct lines of legendary comic book artist Hergé, the iconic designs and vivid markings from the golden age of aviation, and mankind’s inherent fascination with sharks.”
Captain (Capt.) QUINT is a limited production, eight-inch vinyl designer toy designed by Thomas Troisch. He is the very first in a series of nautical-themed, mid-century technology inspired, retro-styled collectible toys. Launching in 2016 with the Late War Camouflage, additional special editions, previewed below, will be announced throughout the year.
Capt QUINT is a limited edition vinyl designer toy. He’s eight inches long, stylized, and also happens to be a great white shark. His name is ironically credited to the ill-fated shark hunter (portrayed by the late Robert Shaw) of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 Jaws.
