I love the resin, but there's something about this that doesn't feel the same.... kinda looks a bit too husky in the thighs perhaps?
Execution/style/pose/ is awesome. That being said the character does zero for me. I do hope it's a success. Anything gargamel is a win.
Wouldnt doubt that its the inspiration. It looks great but the legs do seem a bit off compared to the resin version
Being sculpted for articulated vinyl probably bulked it out. The body of the original resin figure was most likely from an existing toy - most Healey resin figures are mash-ups.
I agree and the same can be said for the cave guard/ghroul , fantastic resin, loads of cool details, but the vinyl flopped in my opinion
Better late than never, right? I picked this piece up at NYCC from the Mishka booth. One-off painted by Naoya of Gargamel, who also sculpted it from what I understand. Definitely one of my favorite pieces. A few more pics on my imgur here: http://imgur.com/a/Z0mhR
Ooh that is super nice! Can't believe I haven't seen pics of that from NYCC. Been wondering what one of these would looked like all painted up. I hope there's another release soon. Haven't been able to snag one yet.
This is exactly it, if the legs were smaller it would be hard to pull from the mold and you'd end up with a lot of stretched toys. Thin legs with long feet are usually difficult and some factories won't even do it because of the difficulty.
When Naoya posted this custom to his Instagram, I fell in love. When I read that it would be available at NYCC this year, I knew I had to have it... I only had a Thursday pass, so I made it my mission to try and get this piece. I went to the Mishka booth several times and even tracked down Mr. Healey himself to inquire. It finally arrived later in the day before my final trip back to check the Mishka booth one last time. I'm really happy to have added this beautifully detailed custom to my collection along with the custom I picked up last year at NYCC. I wonder what fortune next year will hold? Can Naoya possibly outdo himself again?? Only time will tell. See you next year...
New colorway of Quackula up on Healey's site, seems to still be available. Pretty cool paint app, I meannnn...not as cool as my customs by Naoya but still really great
I'm going to revive this thread with the new figures from Healeymade, sculpted and, I believe, produced by Naoya Ikeda! Bellum: Shaman: I arrived late to the game and missed the first two Bellum releases, and a second Shaman has been preordered. Pics to come when I figure out how to post from IG lol
