November 24, 2008 : Return to New Caprica!

Although, if you watch the show, I don’t know how much “returning to New Caprica” you’d want to do! Considering it was Cylon occupied and the humans had to flee…once again (widely known as the Second Exodus). (more…)


 
 
 
 

November 23, 2008 : Oh my!

I think that all Sulu posts should be called “Oh my!” Hey, it is either that or “Blow’d Up” (kudos to the 6 people that remember that one). Anyway, we’re working on a pilot Sulu for some thing or another (it’s sad when the variants run together). This isn’t the best pic in the world, but all of you Sulu fans should recognize the uniform color. Stay tuned for further news on when and where you can get this guy.


 
 
 
 

November 22, 2008 : Return of The Flux!

OK, so you all know about the Flux Capacitor and you all know how awesome it is (or should I say “was” seeing as how it sold out so quickly). (more…)

: Fits like a glove - eventually

The Episode 3 Anakin Skywalker glove was recently revised and, in doing so, I had to cast another copy in hard wax after my first attempt to rework the original sculpt failed. (more…)


 
 
 
 

: Two Jedi get a head in the world

Oh, that was a bad pun, wasn’t it? Eh. The point is, I just got the preliminary castings of the heads for Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi (both from Revenge of the Sith). (more…)

November 15, 2008 : Hello Ladies!

Done and done. Thanks to Kat Sapene we now have photos of the completely approved Marvel Girl figures. Although you can’t tell from the pics, they turned out a bit smaller than I had hoped, but have no fear, a little resizing at the factory and they’ll be back in scale in no time. Until then, go place your orders - you know you want them (both).


 
 
 
 

: All your base are belong to us!

HA! I can’t believe it took me over 9 years to work that back into an official work-related writing. Anyway, today I am here to tell you about the base that will be coming with the Marvel Select Marvel Girl action figure.This little guy is a thing of beauty. At first glance, it just looks like half of a gate to enter Xavier’s. BUT, the sign on the pillar will be Xavier’s School for Jean Grey and will be Xavier Institute for the chase figure, Rachel Summers. For those who are lucky enough to get both, the bases can be connected to form a full-functioning two-part gate. What’s even cooler is, not only does this work with any X-Men type character, but our factory can swap out gate pieces if we were to ever make someone from another group like, say, maybe the Avengers (what? me, hinting at something? never.)


 
 
 
 

: Rachel! Put some clothes on, woman!

Eh, so this is way rougher than I’d normally let anyone see, but I’m in a sharing mood. Here is the very first look at Sam Greenwell’s sculpt for my Marvel Girl figure. I think he knows I started this project so I could have a good Jean Grey figure, and he sent Rachel’s head to taunt me, but it’s cool. I know Jean will look just as good. I haven’t reviewed the sculpt yet - I was so excited that I had to post it right away, but offhand it looks like it is headed in the right direction. (Although, methinks young Ms. Grey needs to smile more. C’mon, she’s young, she’s hot, she’s got superpowers - Why so serious?)
