Harvinger Studios, Savage Crucible

Totally with you guys on the homage thing. It didn't even dawn on me that Veteris was Battle Cat until I saw it mentioned here (then I was like "duh idiot"). Even Who-Man who is clearly and obviously an homage to He-Man, really doesn't look like like He-Man much at all, but you still catch the reference visually somehow.

If this red hand thing is a metallic version of Elric, Im am most certainly in for it because that sounds bad ass! I doubt that's the case though, if anything it could be another warrior using parts from Elric at most I think.
 
Yeah, I remember him saying they wont be able to re-use certain parts, but I cant remember exactly which parts he mentioned except the upper torso & helms.

In the latest teaser we can see that at the very least, it has red "bloody" version of the standard barb hands. My guess is it'll be total reuse of barb/lizard bits with perhaps a new head.

I have been told the reason I haven't gotten a development deal for the Indestructibles is because it leans into this part of the fantasy and isn't a grim, cynical deconstruction on the genre. Which is why I struggle daily with not walking into the sea and drowning.

Yeah... yeah...

It'd be nice to think the newer Superman will start a ball rolling in the other direction... but... yeah...

Brynyar is cool AF. He reinvigorated my interest in the line.

When I bought him at the booth I was honestly a little "meh", but after I got him home and unboxed he's grown on me a lot. You going with cat head or super glowy-eyes lycanthrope man?

My literal only problem with him (and with Jaeger) is I want them to have an open hand for claw attack poses, but Brynyar comes with good stuff for two-weapon fighting poses and I don't like swapping hands a lot. Having trouble deciding how I want him to arm himself most of the time. He comes with like, 47 swords.

I was like "MAYBE THE MARKET WILL CHANGE!" but the internet's gonna internet and studios gonna studio.

I like him enough I want one of each but I prefer cat head.

I should rephrase that but I am choosing not to.
 
I roll with the cat head. It has so much personality in the brow and eye, then you get the jaw articulation.

I would love a proper wolf head alt for Jaeger, as I prefer my werewolves more wolf than Talbot. Contentious, I know.

I have him one handing his sword and open claw. Supernatural strength and all.
 
In non-Superman news:

I just watched the clip of Vala talking during that podcast he did with..... Laserpants... and Rob Post of Harvinger. First of all, it was 4+ straight minutes of Bob talking and Rob just staring blankly into the middle distance. But a good chunk of it was Bob patting himself on the back for being a super extra smart business dude by pricing his figures lower and going on about how people will usually rather buy his 28 dollar figures than someone else's 40 dollar figures.

I can't tell if he's THAT smug, THAT stupid, or a combination of both, considering he was saying that while on a podcast with a guy whose regular assortment of figures are at or over 40 dollars.

And Bob was talking about how Hasbro can bring the price down because they're selling figures on their own website, so they don't need to include the mark-up because they're selling wholesale to somewhere like Walmart. But then..... Rob Post sells figures on his own site for the same price you can get them for his retail partners.

Just felt like he was thumbing Rob Post's eye the entire time he was talking and either thought he was too clever for anyone to notice, or didn't even realize he was doing it.

To be fair, I cannot bring myself to actually watch the entire podcast, so maybe Rob responded to all that immediately after.
