I thought this figure look pretty damn detailed, yet not so much interest on it, it seems. why?

Zzzzzz...

Surely there must be some middle-ground

^^^^^^
BAM! Cone Creeper?

Think the interest will build as word gets out. Tim does not seem to be promoting it much aside from through his Instagram. Hopefully that changes...

What do you mean?

I meant between my comment and the comment below mine. There seemed to be some disparity.

Not really, no. I'm not going to outright shit on it like other old guards might, it just doesn't aesthetically interest me for various reasons and like every other creative output in the world, it's entirely subjective anyway. To put it simply -- It feels like a mishmash of several different influences that do not work together cohesively.

Anything with skulls and spikes.

Uhh....ok dude. So just not this skull toy covered in spikes Huh? This is why I avoided this bs site for so long.

It reminds me of the aliens in "Falling Skies" The sculpt is very clean, almost too clean. Was this sculpted from clay or wax, computer generated (3D printer)?

I'm only saying this because you seem to be looking for input. I try to stay positive and out of the bullshit but in a passion driven hobby like this, people are going to be invested in their opinions. This toy isn't bad but it doesn't hit the mark either. Honestly it seems like someone is trying to market to the types of collectors we have on this board but are themselves an outsider looking in. Like they thought this would be cool and appeal to us but don't really know what gets us salivating. That may be completely wrong and this could just be something the creators thought was awesome. Nothing wrong with that of course but as with all artistic/design related endeavors, the response from collectors is what it is. I have things in my head that seem amazing but if I put them into vinyl, will others be on board? Who knows. Such is the risk of something like toy making. It is for this reason many makers start small, working with resin. As they build interest in their work, they take steps to push further. Jumping in feet first with a vinyl toy is risky to say the least. This toy may have a market but I think many SB'ers may echo that it is nicely done but not their thing.
