A big Sci-fi fan of the 60’s, I grew up with the original Outer Limits. The stories were great, but it was the unique and weird monsters that really made the show so unique and worth watching.

As with most of my creations, I’m inspired by the longest lasting memories from childhood. To honor the original Outer Limits, I created these two versions of Outer Limits Lamps and shades. The lamps are actual figures made by Sideshow. (limited editions which can no longer be found outside of internet auctions and hole in the wall toy stores. ) The figures are not damaged in any way and are adhered to the the base and the lighting hardware.

What is best about these lamps are the shades. Using the DVD collection, I was able to capture great images of all the classic monsters. Then in Photoshop, I designed the shade to compliment all the favorites from the Sixth Finger to the Zanti Misfits. They are all there. And while it is very very subtle, the background layed in behind them is the wavy television distortion from the beginning of the show. It is a spectacular shade.

Not satisfied with that effort, I had yet another idea for a creative shade to go with the base. Since I had the full set of collector’s cards, I thought the entire set would also bring the old series back to life. So I scanned all the cards and then placed them on the shade template. (I think 3 or 4 may be missing (not enough room) The results were also amazing.

So I’m offering both lamps up in this sale (sold separately) with either combination of figure on the base or lampshade. The choice is yours. If you have as fond a memory for the show as I do, these are unique one of a kind lamps and shades.

I now return control of your computer screen to you until next time with Creative Pal takes you from the inner mind to the Outer Limits.

If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer any and all. And please do ask because all sales are final.

Again, please visit my other auctions as there is stuff for kids from 8 to 82.
