I cant wait to grab one of these whenever they are available.
will you be releasing unpainted versions as well as painted?

Those legs are fantastic. Really looking forward to this.

Made some revisions, the torso still wasn't feeling perfect, I lenghtened it a little and and made some other adjustments. Now it is feeling right.

In regards to blanks. I'm not planning on any blank runs in the sense of a run of 30 blanks tossed into the store. I might make some limited subscription packages with blank rewards, or try some other methods, but they won't be common.

During all the D-con hubbub, someone made an appearance at Design Festa.

I'll say it again (especially since my post was deleted when I was banned ) -- This guy is a must have. Fantastic work. Any plans for the first release yet, Joe?

First release will actually be that green painted.

It will be online hopefully in 2 or 3 weeks

This is great news. He came out awesome joe

Sculpted hair! One of my all time favorite vinyl elements... looks superb!

Cinema Monster Alpha will be releasing this weekend, watch for release details.

Congrats Joe for a first successful release!

Thanks Joe!

Where do we watch and where is my solid black edition (w/ rub preferred)

Coolest omake ive seen in awhile. Great work Joe

Thanks guys, thanks Dago and Connell, the sell out was also thanks to you and everyone else on the board who grabbed one.

Very excited for this guy and for it to get out into collector's hands. WIth the end of Pilot Ace and the retirement of the 2 headed giant, I'm glad there is a new golden age monster on the scene.

The Medicom exclusive CInema Monster, is now up!

Also I am moving along on a new Standard sized monster for the SECRETOY brand, it's going to be quite a beast. Stay tuned.

Id love to see one with red vinyl, he would look truly demonish! (Even more so)
Incredible work as usual Joe. I love everything you have created!

Gotta do red at some point.

Updating with some new Protos. Save those pennies and get ready for some SECRETOY battle sets.

First a brand new standard size figure, Krono.

and a new head for the Cinema Monster body makes Tauro.

woah! Nice

Joe, did I ever tell you your the best? Haha love the kraken nod on kronos, and can't go wrong with a freaking minotaur!

Krono is very cool.

I get so much clash of the titans influence from this! can't wait!

Yep, I felt a standard size that paid tribute to the kraken would be the perfect pair to Cinema Monster. I removed the heavy aquatic elements to make it a land beast. I also wanted to make the creature super intimidating, something that would strike fear even into Cinema Monster and inspires terror and hopelessness in whoever might encounter it.

Its got a very intimidating stance, that's for sure. Especially with the four arms and super bulky build in its body. I love that it's got this screaming expression in the face, too.
