I can't believe it's not better!

So sorry, things have got busy this week and what with a lack of things to show you guys, this will be a short ‘n’ sweet one... (there goes the bettering of last week’s update!)

Here’s the painted fully MODOK... (photos not great as these shots are done by the sculptors to give us a quick look at how it's progressing).



A first look at Nico Minoru (there are quite a few changes being implemented so please view this as a early sneak-peek...)



PS. I think the news has leaked already, but big congrats to the DC Figurine Collection for getting the 20 extension! Thanks to all those involved with making this happen, big thanks goes out from the team (Sven and Colin) to those who have actively supported the collection thus far. Pics of the guys...






Rich had a great idea how to do the pose for Sebastian Shaw, basically we were going to do the hands behind the back pose (see below)...



but we thought why not show off his physical nature with a more action pose... (using an old Uncle Sam pic for reference)...



We’ll still do him in the costume from the Cassaday pic of course. I think this could be a really different pose, hopefully it will be dynamic and powerful just like the man!

Oh yeah the next confirmed character will hopefully please all the modernists out there.

Wiccan.

‘Nuff said. Excelsior!

Balder, actually great
I've got Balder today, and I must say the figurine is awesome -
surprisingly 10000 times better than the pictures had led me to believe. It's actually a rather precious, elaborate figure when you consider all the details:
1. the helmet and its plumes
2. the grainy texture of the upper sleeves
3. the golden medallions at the top of his chest and on his best
4. the sword coming out of its sheath
5. the furry cape, with excellent texture and very nice shading work

I'm sorry if some collectors got damaged or poorly painted figs. From what I can see, in my opinion it's an awesome figurine. Even the face looks great in the fig I have. Yes, maybe not as handsome as traditionally portrayed in comincs, but still charismatic. I like the shading around his eyes, even if it's a slightly gothic look. All in all, this is one of the most excellent recent figs, and I'm very happy with it.

Hammer...!
Hammer...!
HAMMERHEAD please!

Dan can we get 2 or 3 conformations this week?At this rate the new figures will be close to release before we know them all.

kissynose said...

Dc released to conformations per week. Seem to flow better, not to mention I'm sure you have a lot of stress having to make sure there is an update every week. I agree it keeps interest and suspense, but 1 a week is kind of ridiculus

Thor8 said...

Tomorrow's next approved figurine will be.......The Swordsman!

Gremlin in the works said...

Nah.....keep the updates at one a week. It helps drag the excitement out. These figs won't be hitting shops till mid-2012 and we have seen some kind of sculpt for all but two of the figures from now till 180. (Sif and Tigershark are still complete unknowns....)

Thor8 said...

I agree with Gremlin. One per week keeps us in suspense guessing which will be the next approved figurine. Besides I was the one who suggested to Rich this be done in this manner way back when.

Oh and just in case I didn't mention it before,the next approved figurine should be The Swordsman.

deamon said...

Spiderman is main Marvel character, he was first character in CMFC, and we still don't have spidey's character in this extension.
We want HAMMERHEAD.

John said...

Hammerhead. And the Spot. And Jackal. And Tombstone. And Smythe. And Jack O' Lantern. And Madame Web. And Kaine. And Swarm. And MJ. And...

Let me also echo the plea for Sleepwalker and Night Thrasher. I also feel its important to release 1 New Warrior per extension now, to make sure we get them all in case the collection ends short. Night Thrasher, Speedball and Justice are all huge characters. Those are the three main ones we NEED. Rage and Namorita would also be welcome. ...although I would personally, obviously, like Namora first.

And PLEASE continue with only 1 per week. When DC named 2 per week, one always overshadowed the other and it was over before I knew it. I love the in depth discussion and excitement we can get from each, individual character by going one at a time.

I'd like a Spidey, Cosmic, FF, Alpha Flight or... whatever Brother Voodoo is... character named next, but I'd also really like to hear a Timely or Atlas confirmation. :D (Obviously, preferably Atlas... by way of a current Agent... of Atlas.)

navaho said...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Hammerhead obviously but would be happy with The Swordsman, Jackal, Red Ghost or the Owl. C'mon Dan you know you need a flat-headed Maggia thug in the collection, just to keep everyone in line! You don't want to wake up with a horses head in your bed.......do you?

navaho said...

Oh, one a week for me BTW, keeps the suspense going, I love it!

kissynose said...

One per week. Hmm what happens when Dan can't update? There was a time when there was weeks between updates. Dan you need a vacation. Lol But I appreciate the timely updates. Shows your support for the fans.

My dream announcement today would be Hyperion or Sleepwalker or Vance Astro.

Anonymous said...

Oh, or Starhawk - even better!

Deadpool said...

Dan ... you've made the grade.
you now have the Deadpool seal of approval.

Keep drip feeding us the new releases one per week (I believe the one per week drip feed idea was mine ... if not then lets just say that it was).

I will endorse Teddington and Thor's choice of The Swordsman for the next figure revelation.

However, I would like to start a Kate Bishop pressure group.

I like her in the pose where she is on her tip toes drawing her bow.
Puffing out her chest and pounting her lips.

"Girls of the Marvel universe we need you ->>>>>>-------> "

Verification word ... unfisti ... sounds rude to me.

Deadpool said...

PS Ted I have Ganthet looks rather cute on his transparent floaty peg.

Deadpool said...

The DC collection has confirmed Mr Mixymytoesies and the Batfink.

Come on Mossmen you can do better than that.

As a riposte to your DC colleagues I propose that you give us the much despised Duck and a stink Cloud of Bamfs.

They could be the wild card for the new extension.

Speedball or Longshot today.

Anonymous said...

A lot of you guys are asking for an Avengers announcement today. We just got an Avenger last week. I'm thinking Spider-Man related or Curveball.

I see a lot of calls for Hammerhead. But I'd rather see The Spot first. If it's curveball though, probably Howard The Duck.

Bagman said...

How about TARANTULA today?

John said...

Bleh. I'd prefer The Spot. But I'll gladly take Hammerhead.

mighty_marvel said...

hammerhead, tombstone or jackal for spidey villain. tarantula should be way down the reckoning

Miguel Angel Jiminez said...

Dan is waiting fer Andy to win before announcing AA.. MON ANDY!!!

gehad26 said...

Where is Baron Mordo?? How can this collection be complete without Mordo?? We have Doctor Strange and the Dread Dormammu, so we need Baron Mordo!!!!

Also,
Wendigo
