Sorry for the pic quality on these images, they were taken at the rush before I finally get some sleep (about 8 hours in the last 48)  I will try and get better pics from various angles up on my site tomorrow.

and just to counter a "rumour circulating on here and other boards" ODIN is not confirmed........the images are of a concept sculpt.

 

cheers

 

Steve

Not crazy about that Odin. I'd rather see them continue to steer away from
major "props", like chairs (except for Xavier, of course!).

I can see that, although Odin on his throne is nearly as iconic as Xavier in his wheelchair.  Personally, I like the sculpt of him seen on this page.

As far as the pics posted by Ryan, are those customs by other fans of this line or are they actual figurines?

Steve has them in his Spoilers threads, so I'd assume he got them from Eaglemoss.  Also, I don't think anyone but Eaglemoss would have Wonder Man yet.

I think I'd like a more simple hair style and binding for Valkyrie.  The chest pieces pointing up also give it the impression of what I'd call 'missle tits'.  I think they'd look better with the circles heading downward.  Maybe it's just the angle of the camera.

'k, then I love both Wonder Man and Shazam!  Great sculpts!  They will be mine.

As far as Valkyrie, I'm OK with everything but her face.  Her chest looks straight out of the comics, as does her hair, and I love the sword.  It's her face that isn't selling it for me.  I'll have to see her in person to make a decision.

I'm hoping she's just a victim of the camera, Matt.

After taking another look at her, I get something else I'm not too crazy about.  She's not strong enough.  I don't like her left arm and leg jutting out like they do as if she's getting ready to dance rather than throw down with the sword.  Valkyrie is a strong hero in her own right.  She should look every bit as powerful as her male counterparts.
