I've been waiting for these...I'm not sold.

POPEYE NOTES:

THE CHIN: There are two very round balls connected together with the inevitable deep long ravine connecting from the nose to somewhere seemingly way too close to the throat. It's not a Popeye chin, it's an exaggerated babies butt where his whole jaw and chin should be. In all the images I've seen, none of them have such a severe chin indentation with very spherical balls connected.

THE FROWN: Too long. It's about to end up on the backside of his head. It pronounces the odd roundness of the spherical chin nodes in a bad way. It's less of a facial expression and more of a perfectly drawn curved line on his face.

HEAD SHAPE: Thanks to bad chin and features accenting it, the head is looking almost square, rather than, an ovalish rectangle. Every great Popeye image has a very distinct bean like shape. There is a natural flow from the top of the head to the chin. This render looks like multiple components stuck together to form a face.

THE EYES AND BROWS: Feels over done. Too many lines and too thick markings. The left eye expression looks dead rather than complimentary in someway to the right side to create a specific expression.

ALTERNATE HEAD: The open mouth with no color inside? Maybe it's a too be continued thing...but man, it just looks like another weirdly symmetrical shape, colorless, in the form of an open "lady part". That chin brings the mouth expression down even further. The mouth is hiding behind yet another hideous indentation at the top of the round chin node. THE HAIR...couldn't find an image of Popeye like that anywhere. Someone said Robin Williams. That has to be the best guess. I love Robin, but no, the red hair is bad, and so was the movie. I wouldn't use that head, which means I don't get the perk of having a second expression because of an unnecessarily major design decision.

THE BODY, ARMS, LEGS, FEET: Okay I think. No rib area ball joint swivel? The forearms have that super symmetrical shape thing going on again. It's weird. It looks like the ankles are going to barely move. The thighs might be a bit too undersized.

THE HANDS: The fingers. Too long. Too skinny. They need to be thick, shorter, like a man who pulls on ropes all day. You know, a sailor man?

THE HAT: TOOOO BIG. TOOOO BIIIIIG.

THE LAPELS: Too big and perfectly laid down creating an unpleasant straight line across the chest. It's way too, "LOOK AT ME!"

OLIVE OIL:

THE FACE: Decent. The lines feel too long and heavy like on Popeye. But it's much better overall. Probably because of the simplicity.

BODY, ARMS, LEGS, FEET: All pretty on point. Is the dress fabric? Or are we screwed, ya know?

BABY:

It's fine. It would seem like a great bonus if the other figures were amazing. But I'm caring so little at this point it seems like nothing.

OVERALL:

Popeye need an overhaul. Olive oil better have some hip, knee, and ankle articulation. The baby is fine since it's likely a bonus.


The Bucky O'hare figures are amazing. I'm disappointed to see these have so many issues. Hopefully they see these notes and take them into consideration. I don't think people would be disappointed to see the changes.
