Doctor Strange potential figure discussion

[King Kobra]

TBH, I did want something along the lines of the cosplay image. The shash, the gloves, the huge collar, I loved that. Modern Strange is...well, a more modern version of the Ditko costume, and while I have no problem with that, it just isn't as "magnificent" as the classic one. I still love the Movie costume (it's right between practical and campy, which I really like) but I'd have liked to have seen the gloves at least (I can do without a shash and a smaller collar, but the gloves will be missed)...

I agree with you there, while literal fabric gloves would not have translated that well onto the big screen by themselves, I feel that instead they should have at least used gauntlets on top, sort of like this Gabriele Dell'Otto rendition :



Actually, on second thought, this rendition would have looked perfect on screen.

We do need more villains, but Yellowjacket got caught between a rock of being very complicated and expensive and a hard place of not being the main character.

Mordo or whoever the villain ends up being might be a lot easier and cheaper to make on the former front.

Assuming it doesn't cut into their Iron Man glutton budgets

Wishful thinking, the same could have been said for Malekith or Ronan. Uhhhhh, oh well

Gabe is one of my fav artists. I can recall years ago him coming to shows trying to get his work noticed.

And why do you think iron man hurts the budget?

You sir have good taste . I especially love it when Gabe along with one of my other favorite artists, Olivier Coipel, get together and do collabs like they did with their Amazing Spider-Man variants.

Yeah they do good work together. I've got a few original pieces. His stuff is amazing

Ain't that the truth. Imagine that as an HT figure... It'd be glorious... Alas, twas not meant to be...

 

[Johnny Utah]

Motuxmen, you have any new HT Marvel insider info? I would like to see a HT CW Steve Rogers and Tony Stark.

 

[Bucky0Har3]

While I love what I have seen of the costume and can not wait to see the film, I though they might if went with the animated movie look for the films. Rather enjoy the three piece suit look with the cloak.






The figure will be a day one pre order and I'm hoping he have good range of articulation so I can display him like this. The current Dr.Strange is a great read with superb art.

 

[ImABarRoomHero]

Didn't know this thread existed. With that being said, this figure is an instant purchase for me. Cannot wait for all of this to unravel.

 

[DioramaMaker]

I'll be in for Dr. Strange. He'll make for a different looking character with a lot of posing options. Hopefully he gets a dynamic stand.

 

[Johnny Utah]

HT Cumberbatch!

 

[GhostBeard]

I will be buying this as soon as the preorder is up. I'm getting the new comics once they get collected in a trade paperback. The series seems good from what I've seen.

The series is excellent.

 

[Victοr]

As a longtime Strange fan, the series is mediocre to bad. It's been improving, and while the main story is somewhat enjoyable, the characterization of Stephen really, really bad. He's nothing like the calm mannered and collected man I've known for years. Instead, he acts like some sort of Magic Tony Stark. To a new Strange who hasn't read the classics this may be good, but to me, it's eh. As I said though, it has been improving, I'll give it that. The Bar is a nice touch as well. It's just that I'm not feeling it that much. Nevertheless, I'm still pulling it, as Strange is one of my faves.

FYI, you can already order the Art of Doctor Strange book on Amazon. It's $50 at the moment but I'm sure it'll drop it price

Stephen and Mordo look pretty damn sick together.

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

^ Nice! Those costumes look good. Looking forward to the figures!

 

[JorReno]

Not a major fan of the actor or the character... but I'll be damned if Benedict isn't the perfect Doctor Strange.
