Why make a Lou Ferrigno Hulk statue whose body looks nothing like Ferrigno's? That seems kind of stupid. Fail.

I dislike the Alpha minis, but that Sasquatch is actually really cool. I will definitely grab that guy if'n I see him.

Huntress Bishoujo statue prototype revealed:

Now available for pre-order from HLJ and other importers.

I may have to find room for this one (Ordering it from my LCS via Diamond).

The "Ferrigno" statue underscores something Mark Gruenwald said, back when the Hulk's TV series was running. If you have one of these body-builder guys playing a monster like the Hulk, their hands and feet always look really SMALL.

On this statue, the sculptor has cheated, and made the figure's hands and feet proportionate to the rest of it -- and therefore not like Ferrigno.

Alpha Flight mini mates !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I could go to SDCC -- I guess eBay is my next stop.

Those Bowen's are awesome.  Both sets will look great with the Mimic MB in the middle.

My one standing complaint, the original XMen are too muscular.

Also -- which Iceman will we get?  Smoked or Clear?  Not sure which I like best -- smoked, I think

Bandai's S.H. Monsterarts line of action figures is releasing a "Burning version" of the 1990's Godzilla, as well as Godzilla Jr. (both from GODZILLA VS. DESTROYAH):

[Link 2]

Nice prototypes, but I hope they fixed the molding issues around the eyes on the earlier Monsterarts Godzilla production run.  I'm more interested in a Godzilla 2000 (or the grey Megaguirus Godzilla) and a Kiryu (Mecha-Godzilla 3) Monsterarts figures right now.
