In Response To: what I'd like to see... (~Adam)

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
For Kabuki, the scar/mask/identity thing is a big part of the theme in the book, so I wanted to make that happen in the figure. Even though it was expensive and tricky, it fit the psychology of the character and I think it adds a great dimension to the figure.

But as you said, some of the others' faces are still a mystery so they most likely will not have removable masks.
Keep the suggestions coming.

I actually just got off the phone from a business conversation on the sculpting/articulation/presentation posibilities of the new figures.

: could you please

: This is actually a good point. The masks don't really
: need to be removable with the others, but it was
: necessary with Kabuki.

: For the Scarab figure: Actually the design Yukio does for
: his "Keiko" figure in Scarab #2 looks pretty
: good! The twist in the waist, the weight mainly on one
: foot...only make it more so. She needs a really good
: pose...maybe mid-running, like a freeze frame. She
: would need to be pegged into a base of some sort in
: order to stand up, but damn that would look cool!

: For the Siamese: I'd love to see them in a pose that's
: both graceful and threatening at the same time. Also
: the poses should reflect their personalities somewhat.
: We know one is fairly introverted, doesn't talk
: much...her pose could be more
: self-contained/darker/graceful, maybe crouching down
: slightly...while the other would be more expressive
: and threatening/spread out/standing taller.
: Their base should relate to them somehow...the best thing
: I can think of is have one side be some sort of
: beautiful stone wall, with vines and flowers running
: over it, and the other being something like rusted
: metal with wires and circuitry running through it.

: and looking ahead....FOR BUTOH..
: she should be captured in the middle of a ballet dance,
: with one fan covering her face and the other
: extended...hmm she'd have to peg into a base to stand
: up also...

: and don't get me started on what I'd like to see with the
: ICE figure

: But anyway, hope you like these ideas David. I'd love to
: see the preview sketches...
