One thing I forgot to ask regarding Boba Fett - will we be able to see updated pics of this piece regarding the modified pouches? Also, have you decided to stick with the cloth Wookiee pelts, or back to sculpted, as I know there were concerns were both?

What can you tell us about the concept art we saw for the statues based on fairytales? Those looked amazing. Any tidbits you can let slip out?

Again, thanks.

Regarding Boba Fett, we're reworking on sculpted pelts as the fine strands material doesn't go well with the dynamic pose as pointed out by many. Fairytales are progressing though slowly as we're investing time and background research to not just have really cool statues but a really unique take on the world. I should have some news by in early 2017

On the Mary Jane statue, will the guys fix the belt on Spider-Man, it sits way to low... If you look in the Mary Jane thread you will see what I mean..

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up - will be checking this out with the boys.

Doc Oct's acutally back to full rework as we weren't satisfied with the first. But we have the sculpt in 3D already so it would be faster to get the new concept out. Should have news before Jan 2017.

I think the statue is amazing, but an alternate head sculpt of Blackie would be a fantastic addition. Have there been any thoughts about that?

Thank you

Our Vulture is the first original Adrian Toomes version, technically Adrian and Drago have different body types so it wouldn't be quite right to put a Blackie portrait on.

You are likely right sir! I'd need to get some confirmation from the team - we don't have it at the studios as all of the protos are at conventions. Will update again, thanks for pointing out!

Hi Shorudan, XM is well-know for their exceptional mixed media on copper, silver, metal, rubber etc. Wondering what materials are being used for the Dragon Tiger Gate statues' weapons?

Also, when do we expect to receive Mysterio?

Please tell me shorudan you guys are correcting Cables eye direction to match cyber eye. Right now its wonky as fudge.

i know to some collectors they wanna justify it by saying the cyber eye can move on its own but thats just stupid reasoning. One theyre acknowledging its wonky too and second when so you ever see Cable doing the chameleon eyes?

Its the only thing that needs to be touched up on this piece. If its a "looking at the gun" issue then change to sculpt head dirextion totally. ANYTHING but wonky eyes

it was modelled for same eye direction. This model might have been tweek to give a leaner look but the head direction and cyber eye hasnt changed

[RossMcCollector]

Doc Oc will be shown before Jan?!?! I CAN NOT wait!!! Please tell me that it would be classic costume and the mechanical arms are similar to the ones on Spidey's base?

[memphis]

Hi, want to ask about Planet Hulk, any info like PO date, ES and release date?
Any chance we'll see Deadpool soon?

Thanks

Thank you for this Bryan! The material pelts were very nice, but didn't show the same momentum that the sculpted ones did. I think sculpted is the right choice for this piece.
