wtf!!! now thread for "best new toy of 2008" is completely ruined. ...and nooby from belgium was right:
i was very lucky to get look at and play with this figure at thrashout, and dug it! gargamel strikes again!
When you think of it, the new sculpt is a kind of umi-bozu...just not black...or round...hmmm...maybe it's umi-bozu's cousin. umi-bozu:
I'm not a super big fan of the original artwork, but I think the figure came out nice. Odoron will be released at the end of the month. Super7 should have a few.
It seems like this will stand out compared to the other midsized sculpts so far, as they have all have been or appear to have been based on 2d illustrations of clean characters designs, which are also symmetric when facing. This is so sculptural and asymmetric.
Makes me want to head down to Santa Cruz.....I like the sculpt and would need to see it in hand but the third eye throws it off a bit
