I'm liking what I see already. I see some elements of Ed Roth,Nutty mads, & Weird Ohs, peeking out. The mouth kinda reminds me of Sickboy Billies. I wonder how tall this is going to be.
Pretty drastic change stylistically, going to a Rockabilly low brow fig. It seems out of place for their brand, but I'm glad they did it, It's the last thing I would have expected from them. It looks good, the hand still looks a little rough. But I can tell I'll want one, or all of them.
I got it... Its FRED FLINTSTONE versus DR. JEKYLL joining the same dentist as SHUTTLEGON does! http://www.auxpeer.com +++ http://www.v-kingz.com
It looks too familiar to me actually. I can tell I won't buy it from the sneak, but I'll reserve calling it a ripoff of other similar figures till I see it complete.
I kinda think that it goes with the Halloween theme that Cure is known for. You're right about the hands though but then again clay gives away minute imperfections in a sculpt. I recall a custom I recently did of a Rangeas. When I based it with grey paint all of the rough spots on the sculpt popped out all of a sudden.If I had to add anything I'd probably make the knuckles a little more pronounced.
Not to derail this post but Rich, That Cyclops Monster is looking wicked smooth mang. I would probably try to score that one before this new Cure toy when it goes vinyl.
The jacket is kind of Bad Bone Franki-ish and and the mouth is Sickboy Billyish, but I love this shit. I wish these Fink/ Weird-oh/ Nutty mad figures rolled out like kaiju or slick fight figure like toys. In my opinion the Suck fly, Terror-N, and Toxic Phantom suit all have some sloppy unfinished hicups. But the boogie is so good I just hope they put that finish onto this guy. I don't even know if this sculpt is finished with the rest of the figure being a little out of focus. I'd like to see some more pronounced knuckles too.
Don't know if anyone else noticed (I just now did, maybe it's just me) but does his fly look opened to you, and what is that thing sticking out of it?
OK good. When I saw that I though about how the Boogie Man was er,,hanging loose. That would have totally ruined this toy for me if it was the case.
the medley on the bottom looks like: FUNGA FUNGA FUNGA (FU is pronounced like Who) looks neat though so far.
It be gotten some potential - All that is needed is real hair, primary fluorescent colors and bulging eye and we gonna hava clear a detolf shelf
