Fantastic Four

Great looking concept work, E. I hope Thing ends up bigger. I never liked when he was 6' with no neck. I'd really like to see this done Jim Lee style myself so that they are differtentiated from the ones Bowen is doing, but you're the sculptor. From the concept art I thought they were Ultimate version costumes. I do like Reed better in the other image someone posted as he doesn't look wobbly like he's standing on shaky ground. Between this one, Bowen's and the hinted at Sideshow comiquettes, this looks like it's shaping up to be the year of the Fantastic Four.

Awesome, but with regards to the FF She-Hulk, you could give her the same base as Thing so that she fits into the set as well...

With that being said, you could do an "80's" Byrne variant costume limited to a couple of hundred or so, so that She-hulk would look good with them...

Just a though...

Looks "fantastic". LOL. I couldn't resist. I was really into the FF during Byrne's run.

Erick, looks like you've got some great ideas. Here are my thoughts, go what they're worth:

--LOVE the concept of a clear resin "shield thingy" holding up a boulder or some such for Sue. Genius!
--Thing-low to the ground and winding up....excellent.
--not a fan of the current pose for the torch (for no other reason that it looks waaaay too similar to the existing BD FS Human Torch)
--WHile I'm down with a Byrne inspired FF. Please try not to draw any inspiration from his haircuts. Sue's crewcut/mullet combo and Johnny's bowlcut were ridiculous.

Bad guy: Galactus???

Just his foot would be cool.

Hi Erik..love this pose quite a lot, and it would be cool if she could be in mid air on an invisible force platform...the John Byrne look will be Fantastic BTW..this should be julie bell i think...please just look at the pose...

Lovin' this! What a great start. I'd go Moleman on the villian, with a few of his lil' yellow minions pouring out of the same hole that would be his base. This way, each member of the FF could be "aiming" their powers at a specific threat. The Moleman is just such a classic threat and one that should be honored with this sort of a dynamic collection.

Finally....think Sexy when designing Sue. I know she's an intellegent powerhouse. but I've enjoyed the more sensual artistic freedoms taken with her character over the past 2-3 decades in comics and film. She should "pop".

Cool individual poses, and interlocking bases to form a very cool diorama like group scene......

and no, it won't be Doom.... so let me know which one you'd like as well

I bet it's one on this list.

Cool! Can't wait for this. Mr. Fantastic's pose needs a little more work though. Needs to be more dynamic. Keep up the great work, Erick.

Looks sweet Erick! I like how Reed has multilpe parts of his body stretching. My only tweak would be to have Sue in a more "stable" stance. I agree with the others that the intergration of the shield and phasing into invisibility would push her over the top.
