MENACE HEAD #1

This is a "sculpt study" as we are working to get the look right in physical form. We are just as excited as everyone else who has the Animated Stunticons! Combination has never been an issue, it is capturing the "essence" that takes time.

 enjoy:

Things will always work out!!



Well, as we have all seen, a couple of great Menace head sketches have been released into the wild.... Good thing for us we had our nets ready. Thanks guys!

 We are REALLY looking forward to this project and want to do our best to make it a great addition to all of our collection! Thanks for the TON of emails and we will be getting back to everyone ASAP!

Please be patient with us and know we are working our butts off for this.

WOW!!

Seems we have made a good bit of noise with just a few little sketches. We are glad to see the fan base is as enthusiastic as we are about getting this right. Hopefully, we can see this through to the end, have this on our shelves, and feel like we ALL had a part in making this happen... We were really happy to see a NEW sketch hit a certain Twitter page today!

 We have been reading the forums, and thanks again for all of those who have been giving feedback!! We are listening.

more head sketches

Like we have mentioned before...we do read the forums! We thank everyone who gave opinions about the head sketch, especially for those who understood it was a rough sketch(from months ago) and gave feedback.  We would have liked to been able to show more for the crew at TFCON(thanks again) but couldn't.

 Here are some more head sketches based from the original and others with a new direction. As we have said before, nailing the look is very important to all of us. Again, just sketches, but closer to our final look. Feel free to let us know what you guys think at G1UPPERS@GMAIL.COM

Thanks to the the crew at TFCON

We know we know... it is not as much as we would liked to have given. Trust us, if we could we would have it for sell right now. This project is a huge undertaking, especially for designers that can only work on this part time.

 So far here is some info:
The set will be limited to at max 1,500 sets.
BBTS and Toyarena.com will be our US distributers.
We are looking to have a full prototype complete by October.

This is an EXTREMELY early W.I.P. for the head of "MENACE".  It is a quick digital mock-up as we are sculpting and building before we fine tune him in cad..There will be changes.

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS WITH YOUR THOUGHTS!
