    I'm really looking forward to getting some of these. Of course subject to how much they'll go for. Looks like a good job by Skullmark and Lulubell! Apparently they're due this fall. Take a look at the whole line-up.

    Nice work, spot on scale up. There are some I would want. But I think some of the faces are a little goofy and bad and just don't work well on the larger figures.

    I would identify two as goofy, the first one, the lizard (seems to be called Wag) and the one that kinda looks like Bert Racoon (first column, third one down. Called Aton). I don't care at all for Wag but completely love Aton.

    Tior (mine-looking head) and Yugon (Cylon-esque head) are my favorites. Looking forward to them!

    Thank you David, for putting that together. You can see some slight differences on the faces on a few of them. The most visible ones, the 'mouth' on Yugon lost the lines on the last photo. And the cheeks on Waak have deeper grooves on them.

    Many proportions and details subtly but significantly tweaked. The last one, for example, they made even more overtly Cylon-reminiscent. GREAT line, though... Aton is a fave of mine, would definitely like to grab his new larger form. I wonder how they will name them?

    i'm a huge Tomland fan, i'd love to pick up the alien ones. the more robot-style ones don't really do much for me.

    These are crazy good. The great thing is that you will probably be able to get one of these standards for what you would pay for a mint Tomland one. :D

    Was pretty stoked to see the promo bits at SDCC. I want walrus man! Anybody have any of the Marcel Dzarma versions of these dudes? Those are pretty awesome too.

    Yeah I have the cloud dude. One of the few things I haven't had the guts to take out of the package. Just looks so good!

    Pre-orders for unpainted black versions are up on Lulubell! Looks like Nizard, Dagan, and Cytron are available. No idea if there were more and they sold out, or they're only releasing a few pre-orders at a time.

    These guys looks good... I'm not picking any of these three, I think I prefer the bulkier robotic body over the more human looking one. Which works out because I couldn't afford them if they were out right now. :oops:

    They certainly chose the right colourway to debut in :D
    I don't know much about this line, just feel that the series would have been more exciting if each character has its own body instead of sharing two basic bodies.

    Right now, they're trying to keep the range of sculpts fairly true to the boundaries of the original Tomland designs.

    But who knows what's to come in the future.

    Ha! I almost posted that the debut color was made-to-order for you, Joe!

    Totally agree with you about the bodies - the series would be a lot more exciting if the details below the neck were as varied as they are on the originals.

    The originals aren't really that varied. The body types are the same. The differences were in the stickers applied to their chests. The black has the same sticker spot, so presumably they will go that route.

    I'm pretty excited for the series, but I only bought one of the pre-orders. I went with the Nizard, it has a pretty great space age Sleestak vibe.

    I'm also wondering why they dropped the weapons. The originals had bootleg light sabers and blasters. I'm pretty sure the Le Merde Robot modeled it's weapons after the Starroid Raiders weapons as well. On the bright side, hopefully those weapons will fit the Skullmark figures, too.
