    Very sad. This guy certainly helped define a lot of my childhood anti-heroes.

    That's the man who was in charge of the armor for the Iron Man movie!



    I hope he passed away peacefully...

    Oh wow, I didn't know that. My respect for the man just shot up greatly, I loved Iron Man....wow that is so sad.

    At least he left a great legacy for other propmakers to follow

    A toast to a great man, I hope he lived a fulfilling life, one with much fun and enjoyment.

    Its absolutely surreal to hear this come right out of the ether, Stan was a master of his craft and his passing is an incredibly tragic loss but he leaves behind a lasting legacy of work for future generations still to come, you dreamed big Stan and thank you for it.

    Whoah! I was greatly inspired by him. I actually had a job offer at his studio, but had to turn it down. Got a great autographed photo from him that still sits on my desk.

    Terrible loss...

    don't forget one of my all time favorites, Aliens.

    Wow I had no idea!! He was the man responsible for getting me hooked in the field of prop and model building. A man who has enthralled millions with his inspiration and on screen creations. He will be sadly missed by all.

    NNNNNNNNNNNNoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
    I've followed Stan Winstons career and his company for years.
    I started my Iron Man suit because his company did a wonderful design....
    Rest Stan, we'll keep building and creating with you in our thoughts...

    Stan... dead?
    He can't be dead! This has to be a horrible joke! People like him can't die!

    I'm at a loss for words. I keep pinching myself, thinking this is a bad dream, but it's not. He is one of the greats, and will be missed terribly!

    Re: Stan Winston 1946-2008

    he was the master as far as i'm concerned. seeing stuff out of his creature shop was just unreal.

    i wish there were more people as talented as him. Stan Winston and Jim Henson were 2 of my favorite artists for making fictional characters in true form and now they're both gone

    Pretty much sucks
