Whoa...I like the design...a lot.

These will be a new faction with my Mythic Legions.

Hmmm... Looks like a new species for my Predators to hunt, lol :)

I freaking love Sandy Collora's work. Can't believe he's getting into figures now. Shallow Water looked like a fun short too.

He does have some 3 3/4" retro figures for Shallow Water he did a while back. There are still some available from his online store

I have the 3 versions in that style and started a Sandy custom from a GI Joe figure using a MTF head.

I would have much preferred these to be 1:18 scale I will still support them and use them as giants in my collection because I love supporting small independent companies.

Those look pretty good too.

I backed this last night, pledged the One Armed Shark Hunter for $55, you get a figure and a weapons pack. Plus he's including a game piece for everyone that pledges to this campaign for his next project, and arena style gladiator board game, that sounds awesome too. Pretty awesome stuff, really getting some awesome stuffs from Kickstarter lately.

This seems really cool at first, but did anyone else notice this paragraph?

"The figures have 11 points of articulation, but here's the cool thing; though the sculpting and approach to the design of these action figures is very contemporary and detail oriented, the way the production and articulation has been engineered, is very old school. The torso will be made of hollow vinyl and strung together very much like a MEGO figure, allowing for an incredible range of motion and pose-ability, that you don't see a lot these days in most action figures. It's bringing back a little of that 70's magic and mixing it with a level of sculptural detail that was rarely seen in that era. In my opinion, this is truly the best of both worlds. It also prevents a lot of the breakage you see in the jointed areas of some figure lines out there, that basically make them more like statues instead of a poseable figure. The range of motion and articulation in these figures easily equals or surpasses a lot of what's being done nowadays, and it's achieved with less joints."

Sandy Collora's a really interesting filmmaker, but it's clear he knows nothing about toys.

Yea, I saw that on the kickstarter last night. It's evident that there is no wrist articulation of any kind, and that articulation will be rather limited in most regards, even the head. But I plan on keeping mine carded anyhow. I surmised that this was probably some sort of line that the manufacturers gave Collora or that he actually believes that statement to be true. And if they end up going the vinyl band route, who knows how long these figures will stay together before the band breaks. I'm still in, I like the short and the figures (hoping the cardback looks cool) and hope that if this is successful more people will try and produce figures like this through Kickstarter.

I don't understand why they made such detailed figures then gave them bad articulation

These things are ugly as hell

Still, more articulation than Marvel Legends. 3.75" figures.

I hope this gets funded for the fans of it. I am always happy when independent toy companies make it happen.

I'm sure it will reach the goal as the film itself was funded on kickstarter as well.

Neat.

These look nice, except for the legs - where they join the waist it looks rather unnatural, as if their waist was too narrow and the sockets look toy-like - odd because the shoulders attach perfectly.

I might get one or two.

while those do look decent AND they are 6"....there are only 4 days left and they are not even halfway to their goal..

i had saw a stick lying on the ground that did as well..heh-heh

So the guys behind this say they are cing back with a redesigned figure for another go. Articulation and material more like Mythic Legions.

That's great news. It was always my intention to add these figures to my Mythic Legions collection.
