I agree with the consensus that the pose is horrible, but I
do like the design and style of the sculpt. Give her a good
pose and that's a must buy.

A Scifi Japan article from earlier this month on the upcoming Sci-Fi Revoltech line.

Nice link Bill. That Alien is tempting. Gamera is a definite for me. Huge fan.

Dwayne, I'm eagerly awaiting the Angirus Revoltech...  Meanwhile, that Baragon is really starting to tempt me.

Out of curiosity, how many statues and figures exist that
were designed to look like JB's art? The only one that
comes to mind was the Superman figure by DC Direct.

Thing was, that one wasn't designed to look like JB's art.  The head sculpt did not look anything remotely like his rendition except for maybe the hair and the body was a recycled Alex Ross figure.

Whoa...after all this time I finally feel comfortable calling Mr. Byrne "JB".

That's also the one that I insisted they take my name off, after they had solicited the toy without my permission.

There are several figures and toys based on characters I created -- Alpha Flight, for instance -- but none that I am aware of based on my "style".

That's a most bizarre little helicopter, up there. Weird design, that would prevent any passengers from disembarking before the rotors have compltely stopped spinning.

I will buy the Ali vs. Superman statue. I win one two fronts being a boxing and comic book fan. Plus it looks pretty swell.

The Batgirl is a swing and a miss.

Gave into the temptation... Preordered that Sci-Fi Revoltech Baragon.

Definitely not made with real people in mind but I can't wait to get the opportunity using my iPod to remote control this toy.
