I think there's a whole series of these being put out by MINDstyle, and this must be Secret Base's design for it. Any thoughts? I'm not totally sure if I dig it.

Looks lame. Like Toy Story x Ron English. Edit: Ha, I just saw the top of the photo where it says Toy Story. |

i think it is cool, but wouldn't pay to much for something like that. and would like to see other color choices (mostly b&w) than just using the standard colors that the regular character normally has. probably would work best in a mini-size. |

Just curious... what makes the Bounty Hunter one OK to you. In my mind, it's the least inspired of the four there... it doesn't take much to apply a logo on the largest flat surface.

Maybe the SB will be a chase and actually have sculpted details. THeir sketch doesn't look like flat graphics on that platform. |

I think the thing about the BxH logo is that it looks face like, with the mouth and B and H are in position to be eyes. It's not just like a nike swoosh or something, so I think it works. |

I think this illustrates perfectly the fuzzy line between stuff we endorse and stuff we abhor. |

That seems to be the general consensus . . . far better hitting those $1000 NNN's and leave the cheap, mass-produced Chinese crap well alone!

I think these would look a lot better if they actually got the toy's proportions right. Here's a comparison shot, it's overall less round and the head is about 1/3 of the figures size, where on these it seems more like 1/2. Once it's designed and painted by someone else it even looks less like the original design. The Stitch design from mindstyle is much better, although still not great.  Winu wrote: |

All this stuff blows... Just my two cents, for what it's worth. Not much!
