I'm a big Brandt Peters fan so this definitely peaked my interest. Any other fans? Any thoughts? They're dropping on Friday at Stranger Factory..
if you take off those hands and heads, you've got a pretty good sculpt, otherwise... seriously wtf are those teeth, and those arms/hands look so goofy.
I really like it, Brant Peters' style in the eyes definitely comes through. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, while I like both RxH and Brandt Peters I don't actually collect their work...yet
Agreed. The eyes and teeth are definitely Brandt's style. I'd love to see the other customs, I'm sure they'll be revealed through social media once the show opens on Friday..
Since it's another RxH adult figure collab, I'm a fan, but I don't have any of Brandt Peters' work otherwise. Not sure if I'd try for one on Friday, since the past few weeks have been too productive/wallet-murdering, but it's nice to see a domestic release of a RxH figure for once.
Brandt is part of a little art/toy collector group that I run here in Denver. He just posted this about the piece: "Just to throw it out there, I worked and was with a great team @ realxhead. I designed the additional new parts, but the Chaosman (adult) form is just brilliant and existed way before I cam along. I did my best to compliment the form, and from the beginning Mori-san wanted to work closely with me in creating a 3rd style (hybrid of both of us). There was also the idea, that we wanted this character to feel like it existed in the actual realxhead universe... it was less a mash-up, and more of an official character. It was our intention from the beginning. I also worked with a sculptor in Japan that works entirely in wax (to start) and truly understood our design and was able to translate our drawings to 3D form. Not the easiest.. -- I am so honored by the craftsman involved on this project. Mori-san was right, the essence is in the detail of the process. I have learned so much from him and continue to do so - very humbled and grateful. So it was a team of artists and creatives with vision that saw this through. It was a labor of love, and it took the time it needed to be produced (we started 3 years ago). I am so honored to be able to work with Mori-san and realxhead. Thanks for everyone involved, and if I did not mention your name, sorry, just over the top on how excited I am to release and bring this project to my fans, and fans of realxhead all over the planet! This was a team based project and it was all of us that made this happen. This is bucket-list stuff for me - just wow..."
I'm kinda meh about the hands, but I really like the head Sculpt. It definitely reads Brandt to me, and I like the idea of a Peters collab with RxH. It's always interesting/fun to see how different artists' styles mesh together.
Not a fan of most of Peters' toys, but this one is pretty cool. Totally get where everyone else is coming from, very valid points. He posted a drawing where its wearing a cape and that kind of made it click for me. @3wing never thought about the sentai style, I love them even more now.
