I'm pretty positive the Big Chap isn't a Takeya redesign...might be a Takeya sculpt but looks like a straight up interpretation of the design. BTW,Takeya is also responsible (concepts and sculpts) for the Star Wars movie realization line and lots of other stuff through the years (Creature Core book, Final Fantasy figures, etc). One of my favorite sculptors.

I'm interested in the Big Chap but, I'm still shell shocked from my experience with the Revoltech version lol. What a mess that thing was.
