 Secret Base Toy Aliens?
 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.

 Re: Secret Base Toy Aliens?
Looks lame. Like Toy Story x Ron English.
Edit: Ha, I just saw the top of the photo where it says Toy Story.

 Re: Secret Base Toy Aliens?
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.

 Re: Secret Base Toy Aliens?
Maybe the SB will be a chase and actually have sculpted details. THeir sketch doesn't look like flat graphics on that platform.

 Re: Secret Base Toy Aliens?
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!

 Re: Secret Base Toy Aliens?
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.

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