 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
i have mixed feelings seeing this figure coming to life. overall, i quite like it and the first painted version does not disappoint. at the same time, it is sad to hear that the launch of this figure may also mean trips to cure store will be history soon.

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
gotta see what happens when the painted version appears.. would easily prefer a new boogie-man over this as it stands currently.. just not into the goofier looking toys so much.. loves me some tasty frankenberry tho'...!!!

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
I wish there was something beside it to show scale. Any idea how tall this guy is?

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
To be honest, I wasnt 100% about this figure until I saw it in person. Even though this is still a little to cute for my liking after seeing it in person and him explaining the first colorway I got pretty into it! I do however wish the head was less cute and more grotesque.

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
I just hope the prices aren't Boogie style. Considering there's a lot less going on.

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
Don't like the painted one and I don't really like the sculpt at all but the unpainted pink kind of looks like Frankenberry.

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
I haven't been a member very long but for what it's worth I think this toy sucks. I like Cure toys. I like the bats I like the boogie. I don't like this.

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
I think the unpainted works a little better than the painted ver., or at least with this color scheme (not the best palette IMO). I think it's because the toy has this vintage vibe to it-the guy has this Nutty Mad-esque expression on his face, though the neon pink is a little more reflective of the bright colored Mexican repros. I'm getting the impression of a Marx toy, cereal premium hybrid influence. In that case, if that was the general idea or influence behind the toy, I would continue to produce monotone colors-I would love a shelf full of a whole mess of these guys in this vein. I would still like to see another painted ver. regardless.

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
Looks like a couple versions popped up in photos on the Cure site today: http://www.cure-toys.com/news%20june.html. Not too thrilled about the multicolored, but the unpainted pink is sweet!

Gotta get used to the head since I am comparing to the Boogie but the painted Dr. Looks good with clear gray vinyl fade

I do wish the head was a bit more "horror" and a bit less "saturday morning cartoon" though... and I think the matte black they used for the head on the color version just works to exemplify the low-detail cutesiness of it.

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
not that anyone gives a f**k!  but i think its cool and I hardly have a clue what frankenberry IS! Those teeth are awesome! Im liking the first colour choice and the pink blank is pretty snappy too.

 Re: CURE... new proto fig revealed
ooh, ooh! i wonder if we'll see new heads in the future like the boogies! even if he had a little more of a mean eyebrow deal going on id me more into it. but hopefully we will see more faces cuz i really do like the body. the undone fly is funny.
