Tell me why, I DO like mondays!

To make up for the no-show on friday, thought I'd update with a quick preview of the early stage Trapster - he still has a way to go (all those little cannisters need adding!), but I think we have the makings of quite a groovy figurine - nice sense of action without going OTT.



And after discussions with the marketing dept. we have decided to have a three-pronged attack and add TERRAX to the mix of specials we are considering (Giant-Man and Mojo being the other two). Depending on the production side of things, we are hoping for one of the larger figurines followed by the cheaper Terrax - then the other more expensive one. (this is our goal, but we may miss the target on production so we'll have to keep fluid on our expectations).

These are the kind of poses we are thinking about. Very powerful, angry violent, aggressive... you get the picture...








He's got a fairly consistant costume so the Ed McGuiness one (last one) would be perfect.



and before I go....



A RANDOM IMAGE FROM THE VAULTS



Probably one of my favourite sculpts. Toby Whiting (Imagika), captures the essence of the Thing - A human in monster's clothing!

Geek moment: We commissioned/scheduled the Thing as issue 3 before any talk of specials was ever mentioned - and in doing so made a lot of bean counters wet their knickers. HE SHOULD OF BEEN A SPECIAL FROM THE GET GO. (and I believe subsequently has been dropped from some foreign territory editions!

On a side note we have recently started to published the collection in resin only versions in Brazil and Quebec? So keep a look out on EBay!
