How to reuse existing molds in MU

synapse17 · 07-29-2011, 06:13 PM

I thought it might be beneficial for us to talk about our opinions of how preexisting molds could be utilized best for future Marvel Universe releases.

What are some of the better molds?

What characters not yet released in MU could easily fit these molds with new paint and head sculpts?

Witch molds do you not like and would like to see dropped from the line?

What are your thoughts on improvements that could be made to these molds?

A few things to keep in mind when answering these question.

Scale.

Articulation.

Accessories.

Cross line mold usage.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

I'm a sucker for scale, so paying a bit more atention to that would be nice, however they have done a pretty good job. My favorite mold is the Ghost Rider mold, but I am sure when the DD and Bullseye comic pack comes out, they will blow everyone out of the water. Eat your heart out, Spider-man.

I cant wait till the new Shehulk and Hulk molds. HUlk can be used for a New better Red Hulk, while Shehulk can be repurposed into several characters. Lyra, Thundra, Titania, Red Shehulk, just to name a few. very happy about her mold. oh the possibilities.

Only mold I really dislike is that tall/thin guy mold that Archangel, Havok, Multiple Man, Iceman (from the Amazing Friends 3-pack) and several Spiderman versions use. Hips are really crappy on that one.

Most over used mold in the line.

I personally like that mold for doing customs. Really easy to modify since it's such a blank slate.

That award may go to the "standard female figure" mold that has been used on EVERY female figure to date!

I HATE that mold! The arms don't have full rotation and it's frustrating!

100% agreed!

I'm rather impressed at the Colossus/Mr. Sinister mold reuse. That was extremely clever and I would never have thought of it.
