FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the first time ever, the Miami HEAT's big three stand together at 16, 18 and 20-feet tall, respectively. PrimeTime Amusements (www.primetimeamusements.com), a global operator, seller and event renter of video arcade machines and simulators, has made Miami's biggest sports figures – Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh – commonly referred to as the "Big Three" truly BIGGER than life. The massive statues are made from Styrofoam and were hand-carved by a professional sculptor before being hard-coated and painted. The creation of the statues was the brainchild of PrimeTime Amusements' founder and president, who besides being a HEAT fan saw it as an opportunity to launch his Company's newest division: PrimeTime Theming. The new division is an extension of PrimeTime Amusements' near two-decades of experience in the arcade sales, rentals, operations and Family Entertainment Center (FEC) industry.
The PrimeTime Theming division is headed up by an art designer and team of sculptors with more than 40-years of combined experience. The new division will focus on building props and figures for arcade game rooms, entertainment facilities, hotels, and more. Future statues will be built using a combination of CNC 3-D Cutting machinery and hand sculpting. More information on the PrimeTime Theming division can be found at www.PrimeTimeAmusements.com/Theming.
"As a Florida native and owner of a South Florida-based business, I am a huge Miami HEAT fan," said David Goldfarb, president of PrimeTime Amusements. "To be a part of a team that was able to create such awesome and impressive figures has been an honor. Our gesture not only celebrates the Big Three but showcases the talent of the PrimeTime Amusements' team. I can only hope that the HEAT players enjoy the statues as much as we do!"
