I've always wanted a Blondie, but I never saw a custom that really fit the quality of what I was looking for, as far as likeness goes. Seeing Trevor's past work, though, I think this might be the one, and, if so, my first custom figure (hopefully). On that note, though, what kind of numbers are we looking at here? Are you guys relatively prepared to meet demand, or is it going to be a tooth and nail fight to secure one of these? Also, would the sculpt be offered separately as well? This is one of those characters that I absolutely must have a representation of in my collection, but there are definitely some other Eastwood appearances that I wouldn't mind being able to try my luck at.
Suffice it to say, SUBSCRIBED!
Damn, this is already looking incredible. I was just about ready to order the Enterbay Batman, but I think I might be hanging onto that money for a while, now.
By just normally placing an order for it when preorder opens like Serang... unlike Rainman's policy DX purchases are not limited for VIPs or anyone.
Glad to wake up and see such a favorable response so far!
This figure is a symbol for everything I love about this hobby. I wanted a Blondie figure, but 1 - wasn't prepared to drop the asking price for the existing customs out there, and 2 - as many know, I'm a much bigger Trevor Grove than Rainman fan.
Denny had just brought me onto the Neo/Smith project, when I decided to test the waters...I approached Denny about the possibility of a Blondie figure (with Trevor sculpting the portrait, of course) and he agreed! A few conversations with Trevor later...it was go time.
Seeing the impact a little initiative can have in this hobby is very rewarding, especially when it culminates in what is sure to be the definitive version of this incredibly iconic character.
I've been working with Denny these last several months on this project, and every aspect of the figure that has been completed thus far has been done with excellence. There will be no disappointment here!
I truly cannot wait to reveal the entire sculpt. To borrow Kill Bill vernacular...if you're gonna compare a Trevor sculpt, you compare it to every other sculpt ever made... that wasn't made by Trevor Grove....but I have to say, this is definitely some of his best work. And those of you that know his work...that's saying a lot. There will be no mistaking the sculpt for anything other than what it is intended to be. It is 110% MWNN/Manco/Blondie.
this CANNOT happen.....i might say that we have already gotten the definitive one already....plus i could not justify having 2 kick azz morpheus's in my collection.....or maybe I can....but that Kato long Coat....well...i don't know if the clothes can be matched unless the man himself is included in that project....either way....i have spoken....and this will not happen....
