...Hey guys,

NEW vinyl figure in the works from the Ultimate Skull and Cobra guys (Tim Stephson, Scott Kinnebrew and Ray Bazan).

- 'The Grim Creeper' - 8 inches w/5 points of articulation (slightly large photo to show detail...)



...personally, i wanna see it battle a King Jinx.

Thoughts?

...AND link to 'Grim Creeper' vinyl pre-order details below for those interested:

Flippin' sweet, looks mythological.

Surely there must be some middle-ground

^^^^^^
BAM! Cone Creeper?

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

I'm diggin' the sculpt, though I can't pinpoint why, exactly. I'll more than likely pick one up!

^^^
...man, i copped one... Well HAVE copped one in theory. Here's to a successful campaign!


^^^^
...yeah, it's a damn cool looking fig i think as well, AND the 1st run of the vinyl is going to be GID which is that extra bit of nice.

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...

...AND what it looks like from the back (for those wondering):

I (heart) n00bs pimping shit almost as much as I do old farts and hipsters pimping shit!

Any suggestions?


What do you mean?


Hahaha The Garthok isnt the only one to worry about on Remulak


I sure hope so! I have emailed every toy blog I could find and its currently on most of them as well as my ig.

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

Yeah Thats the first "negative" comment Ive seen. Im always down for a harsh critique as long as its constructive.

I don't know, as a newcomer, I've observed some of the denizens of this board take pride in being snark-masters. I wouldn't let it get to ya. I may even have a bent toward snark myself.

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)?

Old guards? haha sorry I'm new to the elitist side of the toy scene. So whats some of the coolest current vinyl in your opinion?

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

I guess sarcasm is dead.

As far as the toy goes I feel the sculpt is very nice(In particular I like the legs). Unfortunately the overall proportions just don't appeal to me.

...what the Grim Creeper looks like from the bottom (for those interested) - bit large again. Sorry! Last pic though:




^^^^^
...the fig was 3D sculpted.

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.

I like the "wrist" articulation" and the bottom mouth thing is a nice surprise but not really the surface that looks like the palm of a hand or wrinkly skin + spikes that are very mechanical/inorganic vs. the ones on say, Rangeas

Man this site is crazy. You guys are infamous for how elitist you can all be but this is blowing my mind. Thanks for the little lesson in toymaking but maybe you should research who your talking to before you give advice. Im new to this site because I had been warned to avoid it by people i admire in this scene. I have been making toys for a couple years. I work primarily in resin. My latest being the 9" tall 8 point articulated Devastator. Which has been regarded as one of the craziest resin pieces out. Im not an outsider looking in and this project wasn't marketed to anyone specifically. Im not making any money off this. Do the math on the presale this is for the love of it. I make toys that I think are rad. I think the Grim creeper is rad. I don't see what's not to like about it. I'm ok with constructive criticism but you guys are just being snarky assholes.

Furthermore Im certain that you didnt even check out the campaign before giving your "advice" The Grim Creeper started as a resin piece two years ago and after selling out 120 full size and 60 mini creepers I started working with Scott wetterschneider perfecting the design digitally. I took every small step your "supposed" to take on the journey to making vinyl. I spent two years working on this character..
