CMFC: History In The Making!

Not a lot to preview this week, things are slowing down a tad as we have pretty much commissioned all the remaining figurines. So I'll only update when I have new/interesting things to show you (hopefully once a week (fri/mon), but I can't promise I'll have 'stuff' every week. Hopefully a green light on an extension will perk things up a bit?

Marvel's changes to Firelord:



They have echoed pretty much what we have said.
Hopefully Joni can take in the changes. Nuff said.

A Blast From The Past: The EM Vaults (part deux?)


Some old development ideas from way back in the mists of time (2004):





Dene Mason's first sculpt for us. We went with pose no.2. (as I recall there were problems with scale at the time because Toby Whiting had done the first 7 or 8 sculpts, and for whatever reason Dene's Goblin came in to too tall - so we had to do a hack job on his legs - didn't turn out too bad, but would of had a much more dynamic pose otherwise (paint job was a more cleaner style aswell, which wasn't in keeping with the realistic style we went for).





My original concepts for the plinth:
(note the original early sculpts that were done!!! deemed to actiony and childish - The Hulk was amazing though, and may still see the light of day one day!).




Crazy plinth idea!


Some box concepts (most are better than what we got in the end, but cost ruled the day - still some of the comic design elements would be an improvement on the drab grey box we have now (you can guess I didn't have a hand in it! I've since tried to make some of the special boxes more interesting but have had to stick with the grey palette):









A tin was also considered (way too pricey though):



See you sooner than later.
I'll 'hopefully' tune in to the comments section later tonight (or over the weekend). Catch you then...
