Official SDCC 2010 Preview Thread (Spoilers)

He's really not even trying any more, is he?

 

^ I still like some of Frank's stuff but this is one of his worst, ever.

 

That shark is way fucking anti-establishment, man.

 

a lite brite for a face is a neat idea

 

I'm surpried I really like the new StrangeCo collab pieces - well the Nathan Ota and MARS-1 pieces. Tempted so long as they don't try charging silly money for them

 

Got any photos of the Mars-1? I like some of his artwork (the non character-based stuff).

 

16" tall apparently and coming later this year.

 

Thanks for the photo! It's definitely something I could do without though. I don't like his use of human hands/arms.

 

Yep ruins it for me too...nice to see StrangeCo working with some interesting artists though. I guess the hands are there for balance as much as the design

 

New Pushead shirts by UP. Good thing is they are no SDCC exclusives !

Oh, and new Alex Pardee shirts too - I really love his work! It is so hard to get shirts with some colorful printing today anyway and his are really stunning!

 

Saw these today and was pretty stoked!

Oh, not much of a help from this end because of my lack of observation skills. But there's a booth towards the other end of the con that has a few Pushead stuff people might be interested in.

 

Like what?

 

Does anyone know how much that giant kenner trooper retailed for?

 

Books, tees, some small toys

 

Lamour has the best creation in this entire thread !!

 

I agree, I got to hold his resin yesterday, solid black with some gloss to it. It's looks amazing, Should have tried to pick it up...but I did get his custom bootleg...

 

Thanks guys but I can't take credit for Kazu's amazing work.

 

Not noticed a price but it looks like shit! 3D scanning the original version means it's lost all definition and all the angled armor is kinda blobby and lame.

They are releasing a vintage carded range which looks kinda cool, using the OG Kenner backing cards and also a scale ATAT that's over 2' tall and kitted with a speeder bike, winch and firing guns. It blows the OG version into the weeds and is only $100!

 

Great price !! Would like to see that one ..

 

they were $85.

they looked amazing in the packaging, a giant blown up card in a blister pack.
but i played with the toy and it deterred me from buying it, it felt really really cheap. i would rather have a blow molded bootleg.

 

new james jarvis figure. not feeling it from fotos, would like to see it in person...

 

yeah very nelson muntz

 

Honestly if I get the Kenner blow up tropper it wouldn't be for playing. I Love the thought of nailing a giant blister card to my wall like I did as a kid haha.

Plus. I've been literally playing with my unpainted mongolions all week. And I can safely say they'll stay fun, for a while to come!

 

One upside to collecting unpaints is that me and my 3 yo can have monster battles w.o worrying too much about scratching or paint app messups. He hasnt got the gist of it yet tho, most of the monster battles start with conflict resolution, talking about feelings and having a group hug.
