Gargoyle by RB

[randy bowen]

I'd like to produce this, but I'm thinking of changing some details on it, so that I would not need to go through Disney. If this were the case; would you pass on it?

A) I would only buy as is (resembling the Disney cartoon)

B) Sure, I would buy it as long as it had the same pose, with a few minor costume changes.

C) I ain't interested either way.


I looked at some of the details with regard to Disney licensing , and to me it would probably be a deal breaker on this limited interest item.

Other details: The piece is pretty huge, and would retail at around $170.

Thoughts?

Mods; a poll please?

[Primal]

I think I'd be a bit adverse to buying it if it didnt represent the character as he looked in the cartoon. But I guess it depends on the final product.

[hungrydaddy]

I would be interested if it was a little different and a similar pose. Especially for around $170-175.

[kal-el]

Only if it's The Gargoyle from the Defenders otherwise nope

[ZKULPTOR]

I would buy it either way Randy, I think it's a cool sculpt, plus I love gargoyles.

[whd]

As incredible as this sculpt is, the less it looks like the Goliath character, the less likely I'd be to purchase it. I can definitely understand why the licensing contract would be prohibitive, though.

[MaxGoof]

It doesn't really look exactly like Goliath from Gargoyles as it is. It could probably pass for an original gargoyle now.

[bat_collector]

Sorry no interest in this license.

[Ink]

as is, for me

[Jesse321]

Either or ... I love the statue as it is, but I think that Randy and company can do some SERIOUS justice to these great characters!

Count me in for the full run either way.

[patrickwm68]

If it looks even better with the changes than I'll definitely get one.

[Daywalker]

i would def buy it as is right now - as far as changes go i would have to see the final product then decide

[jimi311]

I am down. I too don't think it looks much like Goliath now anyway. I just love the pose and the wings!! I'd love an Angel statue like this!!

[DarthBane99]

I like the pose alot, but I would personally prefer closer to the cartoon depiction. I think as-is its a cool statue, but I only see Bowen fans really picking this up. I think if Randy wants to get more bang for his buck, a statue looking more like the cartoon would sell ALOT more. I just cant see a ton of the rabid Gargoyles fan base buying a statue that doesnt really resemble the Goliath they know all too well. I think it would be alot easier to snag non-statue buying Gargoyles fanatics with a statue that looked like it was torn from the show........than one is "inspired" by the show. I'm not knocking the current design as bad or crap - I just think it wouldnt be the more profitable way to go.

Catering to several hundred Bowen fans vs the thousands of Gargoyles fans who go to the convention each year, write fanfics, etc etc. Since I dont know if there are alot of Gargoyles fans on these boards, so I dont know if you know how crazy the fanbase is - Disney for years held off putting any of their countless TV programs on DVD cuz they didnt think the market was there. Plenty of fans wrote in to petition a DVD, and Disney realized there must be some market, as its the only one of their TV shows that has its own dedicated convention. Gargoyles was the first Disney TV series to be put on DVD - way before older shows like DuckTales, Chip n Dale, etc came out.

[Saturday_Knight_Surfer]

Interested.

[SirConor]

I think its a really cool sculpt but I think I'd ultimately pass on it since the only statues I collect are Marvel related. I'm relatively adverse to buying single pieces in different lines (like Star Wars, LOTR, or in this case... Gargoyles) because I don't feel they really display well when mixed in with the rest of my comic stuff and I don't really care to display any of these things by themselves. Thats just my personal taste though.

Cool piece though, no doubt.

[cblakey1]

:buttrock:

[Devils Drifter]

I would be down for this in any incarnation.

- DD

[tuv1305]

I'd buy it either way, but I'd really like to have the original one that's been the topic of discussion for the last couple of days

[overkill]

#1 : it has to have those wings.
#2 : Forget about a poll, anyone that wants one should commit to it now and maybe give some kind of deposit.
#3: If 100 people commit then make 100 statues. The more the merrier. Im sure it doesnt matter how many you sell if there are no contract issues. In reality it would be a generic gargoyle.
#4: Make it more evil

Im in, now where do I send my money

[Juggernaut]

I would buy it as it is now.

If that is not possible, then a few costume changes is okay. As long as it keeps the pose.

Will this only be on sale at the BS website?

Can you sell it to International customers?

[lord odin]

Sorry no interest in this license.
Ditto

[the Hammer]

Having never seen the cartoon I wouldn't be one of those disappointed if there were changes made, BUT I would buy this in a second, I think it looks fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! :buttrock: :buttrock:

[mfrancoiii]

i would buy it no matter what, i just want to see it released.

[Virsago]

i would buy it no matter what, i just want to see it released.
Ditto.

[Tattoo-X]

Can't really vote on this POLL.
I would definately get the Disney version you already did Randy.
Might get it with a few changes. Would have to see it first.

[Who's who]

Make it a Marvel hero or otherwise that closely resembles this figure.

[Jerseydevil]

Show me where to stand in line so I can plunk down my money. If you have to tweak it slightly, then so be it. The pose and the wings are spectacular.

[boobhound]

No for me, anything that may take away time from mini busts and statues is a bad thing, imo!

[Tattoo-X]

This is a great looking statue.
Just thought I'd share pics for those that are not familiar with the cartoon, character, and/or sculpt.

Randy throws out some non-Marvel pieces each year.
This one would be great.
It's basically already done, so not much time lose here.

[JavOner]

I'm only interested in marvel comics characters. Anything else i'm not getting.

[Juggernaut]

No for me, anything that may take away time from mini busts and statues is a bad thing, imo!

How can this take time away from statues, when this is a statue? :)

[boobhound]

How can this take time away from statues, when this is a statue? :)
You know how I mean't it.................from MARVEL ,mini busts and statues :laugh: :laugh:

[rxj71]

I LOVE this statue. I would buy this on the spot. Regarding changes, I would have to see how it looks afterwards - but this statue as it is, is gorgeous.

[Juggernaut]

You know how I mean't it.................from MARVEL ,mini busts and statues :laugh: :laugh:

I know. :laugh:

[bomen]

Only if it's The Gargoyle from the Defenders otherwise nope

ditto

[toyzplz]

What kind of changes are we looking at? I'm in either way. Even if the Disney license raised the price a little bit to cover it, I'd still be in. Along with others I know!

[vp1940]

Admittedly, I'm an enormous Gargoyles fan, and in fact do plan to have several characters done in a realistic style in the not too distant future as discreet statues. I've always been a fan of this piece, I remember thinking a few years back that it was a study maquette for a Gargoyles Live action movie in fact, so I've always been dying to get a cast of it.

That said, it's much more "rough" and sinister looking than I would prefer for the character, but ultimately I'd buy it in any incarnation knowing what it "really" was behind the alterations. Also as others have pointed out, his clothing and character design is already radically different from the Gargoyles Canon design, so I'm not sure what alterations you'd be making. But yes, I'd be in for one, definately.

[hillis3]

I would buy this. I is too good of a sculpt to pass up.

[C. Bormann]

I would definately buy it as is. As long as it's in the $170 range.

I would have to wait and see the changes to offer any other opinions.

What kind of edition size would you aim for? 500? 1000? What would be your cap on a piece like this?

[Tattoo-X]

This is a great looking statue.
http://i3.tinypic.com/vyl07o.jpg
http://i3.tinypic.com/vyl0k1.jpg
I'd love to have one of these.
And a Cube Base Sasquatch.
And a Spider-Woman II bust.
And, and, I'll stop here. :eplus2:

500! I can't see selling more than that.

[the Hammer]

500! I can't see selling more than that.

Randy, please do this, it's fantastic!!! And so different from most of the Marvel stuff that it almost becomes the centerpiece of a collection, in a way very similar to Death Dealer. Go for it, 500 would sell easily!!

[tuv1305]

I know of at least four people besides myself who don't post on this board but want one of these having seen the pics now. Please, Please make this statue!

[Devils Drifter]

Please give enough notice, this is going to go fast!!!

[Collection King 13]

500! I can't see selling more than that.
Thats way too low... go for an even 1000... :buttrock:

[rxj71]

If this is modified, and a license from Disney will not be necessary, can international buyers order it?

[Jack8022]

It looks cool but I'm trying to stick with Marvel pieces only.

[DEAD_MAN]

I'd like to produce this, but I'm thinking of changing some details on it, so that I would not need to go through Disney. If this were the case; would you pass on it?

Mods; a poll please?
I would Buy it as is or any modifications you do as long as I get one,
but please Randy what ever you do keep us posted I want one.

500! I can't see selling more than that.

If Disney approves and it will be a deal breaker for you make it 1000,
and if they advertise it also and it sell's out quick
then you know you got a new line Of Disney Gargoyle's to do.
(wich I hope is the case for you)
So tweak it to look exactlly like the Disney charcther
and it will be a fast sell out.

But if Disney doe's not approve,(better for me so I can order it faster :eplus2: )
Do what you have to do to produce 500 it will still sell out,

etheir way you can't lose.
So voteing A or B would be the same for me.

No matter the out come Im there for One. :buttrock:

[DEAD_MAN]

Put 500 up for order now as a Bowen Exclusive anyone can order.
I bet it well be sold out in a week.
But the catch is you put it up for order right now :eplus2:

[toyzplz]

500 will sell out faster than you can blink Randy. It won't make it to Diamond for Previews. It'll be gone from your website.

Then you can make a "Stone" variant! (I'm kidding! Really!)

[Tattoo-X]

500! I can't see selling more than that.
:laugh: Are you considering Gargoyle fans and Disney fans?
And just the plain fact that it looks awesome?
I was thinking yesterday you might say this. And that 500 would be gone in a heartbeat just from those damn flippers, and someone like me that truely wants one would miss out again. :banghead:
1,000 would also be a quick sell out.

[Jesse321]

Randy .. I have to agree with Tat and CK here, I think that 500 is really underestimating this piece and any future pieces you might consider.

I would say 1000 is a more reasonable number, at the very least 750.

But I think if you get in contact with the people at "The Gathering" website and ask them to announce the piece there (which I'm sure they would) you would sell out in a heartbeat.

[Juggernaut]

500! I can't see selling more than that.

500 would sell easily, Also because of the Flipper factor.

I would buy one for my collection.

[ABE]

Guys,
I've seen this statue in person and it is .......well, lets just say, that it will blow you away. The pictures do not do it justice. I would get it in a second. It is massive and the detail is incredible. Absolutely and positively a beautiful sculpt....put me down for 2 Randy :buttrock:

You lucky S.O.B.! You saw this in person? I'm jealous. I really hope this makes it to production. What a spectacular sculpt. And I'm with you guys on this: I think 500 pieces would sell out fast.

I agree.

I would realy like if it came in the Diamond Previews catalog.

I think asking this question of just members here is really only accounting for a small piece of this potential market.
So I've POSTed this on two other sites and plan to POST on two others.

[Iacon13]

I am all in. Would not want to loss this great sculpt just because of a little tweaking issues to get around the license. Please produce this Randy. Also for my 2 cents I think if you actually got the license this piece would still do quite well if the rest of the team were produced with your sculpting style.
If it were only 500 how would people go about getting it?? Would it be a piece only available on the site?

pretty cool in a what if the Gargoyle characters were drawn by Alex Ross sort of way. Would it sell better if it looked more like the cartoon?

[Lunipar]

Randy, you still seem a little shocked by all the input coming on this statue. Please do not cut yourself short on this. This is a great looking statue Disney or no Disney. Take a risk and go for it.

[Juggernaut]

Randy you should release this in 1000-1500 units.

Note to Randy and any other Gargoyles fans out there in case it hasn't been mentioned.

In this month's Previews there is a solicitation for a new comic from Amaze Ink/Slave Labor based on the show.

Good time to nab an actual license?

It's a gorgeous statue Randy, and I'm sure it well sell out quickly. But strictly being a comic-book guy, I would pass.

Most of the responses I got from the MEGO Forum were "I like the cartoon" and "not interested."
Not suprised, they're into old plastic figures.

But this response got me thinking about how minor changes would get around the Disney license, since this sculpt is not cartoonish. So I'll vote for B. Simple clothing changes should do the trick.

"pretty cool in a what if the Gargoyle characters were drawn by Alex Ross sort of way. Would it sell better if it looked more like the cartoon?"

No response from the Disney Forums yet. Guess if it's not Mickey, they don't care.

[High Lord Apocalypse]

i would buy it 100% if it looked cartoonish exactly like the cartoon. this one does not look like a gargoyle replica to me. it looks more like a real gargoyle.

i picked option a, since i really want a goliath statue but not if looks like an alex ross goliath!!

[Equinox24]

Because it does look like a real gargoyle in its present state is the reason I would buy it. I never watched the cartoon, but for you guys that want that cartoon likeness, hope it gets done for you. I was surprised to read that the cartoon had an almost fanatical following.

[Jesse321]

I was surprised to read that the cartoon had an almost fanatical following.Not "had,"HAS a fanatical following! The 10th annual convention is coming up in California, and when you take into consideration that this show hasn't been on the air in all that time, that's pretty damn impressive.

[DEAD_MAN]

Keeping fingers crossed hoping It comes out no matter what he looks like :buttrock:

[Tattoo-X]

Wonder if we'll get this one this year.:inquisiti

[riderV3]

Goliath is Goliath, I don't care who draws him, even Alex Ross' realistic style is welcomed.
People are complaining about the realistic take on the character, so what?
Just because it was a cartoon show doesn't necessarily means it HAS to be cartoony. Superman was a comic book character but I don't hear a lot of complains about the realistic Superman by Alex Ross, so why no love for a realistic Goliath?
I love the show, it was one of the greatest show of 90's IMO and I'll love to see this done by RB regardless of the style.

[Gatekeeper2Hell]

Over the weekend I wound up rewatching my Gargoyles DVDs, and was just thinking about this statue. I can't believe it's been over a year and Disney hasn't released Season 2 volume 2 yet. I wanna watch the rest of the messed up Shakespear stuff. :buttrock:

[BadLuv]

I ain't interested either way.

Unfortunately, volume 1 of season 2 didn't sell as well as expected. We may be waiting a very long time for volume 2. :(

[chromesamurai]

As long as they release it. Gargoyles was fantastic, and along with Batman: The Animated Series, it was the best the 90's had to offer as far as cartoons.

Would it be out of question for Randy to sell the finished sculpt to some other company who already has a Disney license? I know it seems odd, but Randy could get paid well for the sculpt, and then not have to worry about buying up an expensive Disney license.

[tuv1305]

Bumping this up with the exciting news from the Odin thread

I'll let you know soon. Right now I'm tweaking my gargoyle statue, and then will proceed to doing a Death sculpture.

The bust will be different from the FS.

:buttrock:

I've been waiting forever on this one and had completely given up hopes. Any plans for an announcement in the near future Randy?

Didn't I just announce it? :)

:laugh:

I was thinking more along the lines of maybe some new pics, a general release date or if you're going for the really big smile, the announcement that it's up for order on your site :thumbs2:

It looks pretty much like the pics people have already seen, with a few small alterations. It'll be out 5-6 months from now, for sale in about 3 months or so.

New pics will be out in a few weeks.

[jsoex]

Sweet! :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

I can't wait for this to be released. I'm going to buy three of these.

[Sambofred]

Sounds good to me :)

[Weedo10]

MOST EXCELLENT:buttrock:

For me, the statue would have to be very limited before I would buy it. Any MINI bust I will scoop up!

Funny, those are the same wings from the Shivan Dragon statue.

[randy bowen]

Funny, those are the same wings from the Shivan Dragon statue.

You're sort-of correct:

These wings were originally sculpted for the gargoyle. Since it was not released (the gargoyle), I used the wings for the Shivan Dragon.

[Closetnerd]

I WOULD buy one of these, so is it still a go???

[Jerseydevil]

God, I'd love to own this. Thanks for bumping this.

This is a great looking statue.

http://i3.tinypic.com/vyl07o.jpg
http://i3.tinypic.com/vyl0k1.jpg

that is such a beautiful piece. But my answer is I'm not sure if I would get it either way.
I'm not that much of a fan of the cartoon.
The only reason I would buy this is because the sculpt is so awesome, so minor tweaks wouldn't bother me.
However, the size of the piece would make it hard to display and since it's not of a character I care about, I'm just not sure if I would get this or not.

[Vader]

RB,

please produce this!

[mitthrawnuruondo]

i love this piece ,but i think new smaller wings would be an improvement,as long as tweaks are being done:)

[iceman_sd75]

It's an awesome sculpt, but I'd pass, not really into the character.

I'm tweaking the sculpt. The original was sculpted very quickly (4-5 days?), and there were some things that always bothereed me about it. In fact- I really should re-sculpt the whole thing, but I just don't have the time.

So- I'm just going to tweak it, and see what happens.

It wil lbe a low run of 500, with perhaps 100 unpainted, unassembled sets as kits.

I should have the tweaks completed in about a week, and have the painted shots a couple of weeks after that.

It's an incredible sculpt but I have zero interest. Never watched the cartoon.

This is a tough one. I'm thinking of trying something different.

Perhaps putting it up for order on the BD site first. If the numbers come in strong enough, then we'll consider putting it up for solicitation in Previews.

At the moment I'm thinking it should be a site exclusive.

And Rnady, don't forget to show us some pics when the piece is ready!:thumbs2:

We won't know 'til the factory see's it in person. I imagine it'll be close to the $200 range.

I would definately buy "as is" or with a few minor changes, this is awesome :thumbs2: nice job R~

[rxj71]

Yes, I would assume so. :)

THANK YOU!

[High Lord Apocalypse]

ah, yes!now i remember. thanks for the pic randy.

[tuv1305]

It looks pretty much like the pics people have already seen, with a few small alterations. It'll be out 5-6 months from now, for sale in about 3 months or so.

New pics will be out in a few weeks.

Hi Randy, I was curious how this is coming along?

[needanewcap]

There are many more things that should be made before this.

[DEAD_MAN]

is it true that this thing is finally coming out?

[tuv1305]

There are many more things that should be made before this.

This poll's over a year and a half old, you can safely say that plenty of other things have been made before this.

Bumping this up hoping some of the Painted Odin action will spill over into this thread

[Bartholomew]

[patrickwm68]

Except for the base and color it looks the same.

I'd really like to see a close-up of the face.

[jmaccool]

I would love to see this statue come to fruition as long as it still resembles Goliath.

Thanks, John

I'd love to see close-ups of the face as well. I'm really excited about this piece, and because there was such a clamor for it, I'm surprised there hasn't been more buzz since the sneak peak was posted. Also, I'm not certain if I'm feeling the blue paint; I may have to repaint mine in the more muted, original paint scheme.

What you see is pretty much what you get.

The colors will be more muted on this than shown.

The main differences are:

- the Hair (longer and less mullet-like)

- the cod-piece (armored) abd new belt buckle

- smaller hands

- and as mentioned previously: the base

We will probably only make 500 of these, as I don't see a big demand for it.

[JadeGiant]

very cool looking sculpt!

[Caveman]

Voted on no either way....With limited spanding cash my focus would be on Marvel items only...

[metalsquid]

- and as mentioned previously: the base

i kinda prefer the old base. rocks make more sense to me than a tree trunk, seeing as he is a gargoyle. any particular reason for the change Randy?

[scottc]

Severly limit it and possibly add something special to it to make it a really unique piece. It looks great though.

[Closetnerd]

DEFINITELY picking up this one when it releases! Gargoyles are normally the BEST!!! But this one is spectacular! Thanks for doing it Randy! :buttrock:

[Nightcrawler777]

I would only be interested if it was how Goliath was supposed to look...

[Savage]

An awesome piece as always from Mr. Bowen. It looks fantastic. The only thing I liked on the old one more is the base with the rocks. Fits more to the character.

[Immovable Blob]

I would like to see him done, but I had to be honest and say I probably would not buy it. There are a lot of characters I feel the same about, Mr Hyde for instance.

[tuv1305]

Can't wait for this piece to arrive. I was a little worried when it was announced it'd be released with tweaks, but personally I'm digging the bluish tint and the armor cod piece

[randy bowen]

He's still on rocks. Different rocks. There's just scraggly tree's poking out from them.

MAKE LESS OF THEM THEN MORE WILL WANT THEM .:stick:

I'm leaning toward the Disney cartoon version,but all things considered must say I trust Randy's judgement implicitly.(Did I spell that right?):buttrock:

[Argonus]

I'll buy it if you drive down and join my wife and I for dinner, Randy.. bring a pen. Haha!! :D

I enjoyed that cartoon, but it was cancelled pre-maturely (like Samurai Jack, one of the most phenomenally-crafted cartoons ever..very artistic... gah...cancelled four episodes before it's conclusion).

[Jerseydevil]

Just bumping this to see what's up with this. I know it's still in the sneak peeks, but I'm still looking forward to seeing it solicited.

[Sambofred]

It looks great. I am going to get one as soon as its up for order.

[The Dark Knight]

It looks great reminds me Goliath from The Gargoyles (Disney Cartoon)

[Blue Mask]

Looks like that disney cartoon goliath to me.

[Bartholomew]

Looks like that disney cartoon goliath to me.

It was supposed to be. But it has since been tweaked because of the Disney licensing/ copyright.
