KING SKULL BRAIN!

OFFICIAL PHOTO OFF THE MEDICOM TABLE! SB 4th Anniversary Release!



if you save the photo it is alot bigger than displayed here in the board.

 

thats lame. whats with the Bozo the Clown brainfro?

they shoulda just scale up a skullbee.

 

Gotta go with Kozik on this one. It reminds me of an old lady with a bouffant harido....

 

Where's the boxing gloves? Where the shorts-hiked-up charm? Whats with the mechanical crap?

 

That thing is fuggin ugly.

 

no dice...not for me anyway

 

Looks like perhaps Medicom weighed in a little bit heavier than SB on this collaboration...

 

I love medicom but they really need to bust out a new sculptor.

the 'Medicom Crouch' ruins another cool fig.

 

Yea, that sculpt sucks. How many times do they have to use that pose?

 

h8graphix can for sure be hard to look at. The crouch is not my issue, it is the hands. them same hands over and over.

 

Yeah the hamfists can go.

My big issue is with the facial sculpts - I see h8graphix face sculpts, I think "aggro frat boy" whether it's a mechanical clown/bee or an elephant or Danzig.

 

I would look better without the brain, but still its not a great figure.

it fuckin blows. im super dissapointed.

they could done the coolest thing ever..and this?

pffft.

 

I think the lesson for today is that even SB can drop the ball.

 

...and that we are incredibly fickle and hard to please fanatics!

 

Definitely!

 

Thats good - it makes them strive to produce good designs instead of the substandard stuff other companies keep putting out, that loads fo folk still buy. Hopefully SB will see this and produce something mindblowing

12" skullbee would have been THE SHIT.

not Bozo the Exoskeleton.

 

I like that euphemism! hehe

 

What the hell was medicom thinking?!?

Its hiddeous!

 

looks like a Mattel toy.

 

yeah i was thinking that too.

 

this actually has me depressed and angry.

 

I disagree - I think it's a cool design.
Very Japanese new school.
It's hiarious.
I'm sure it's going to look kick-ass in real life. I can't wait to get it.
I want it to face-off with the new Balzac skeleto-bat.
Now I know there won't be insane competition to get it.
edit-
But the fig. really doesn't look too SB.
Maybe this is a signal that they are making a change.

What really kick and are very SB are the eyes and mandibles.

At least they are trying different shapes.
If you don't like this one, wait for the next.

 

That's dissapointment for you - like when you hear that Lucas gets off his ass to make more Star Wars movies and ends up making three straight piecs of crap. Or when any Alan Moore comic gets made into a movie. Or whenever Lou Reed puts out a new album.

Mostly I'm dissapointed because SB doesn't usually make much at all in a larger size, so these two Medicom collabs (I don't like the King Skull B either) seem like blown opportunities.
