Same deal as the artwork, we were given these by Bill to show them off. The difference here is these are not for sale. These sculpts were all done by Mr. Merklein, and he is keeping the pictures, but he wanted them to be seen by everyone. Look closely at a lot of these many are first draft sculpts that were later changed. Some of the variation highlights:
Dial Tone without the beret Golobulus, Fridge, Tomax and Xamot all with different heads than the final head sculpt Mercer sculpted with a Viper's uniform You can also see other little intricacies in the sculpts like Lightfoot and WORMS having their antennas made with not sculpy but with spun copper to deal with the small accessory. Also, Bill does not have these 2-ups. These are just the photos of them. Bill would use these photos as insurance to prove he made them if they got lost in the mail between him and Hasbro. Also, credit this all to Gyre for making these pictures possible for setting all this up, he is the man. Last edited by Roshan; 05-07-2010 at 01:07 AM.. |

These are really cool.
What's up with the peg leg on Cutter? And why does Flint have two different legs? |

But the Cutter I can answer, the Cutter is just unfinished. What you are seeing on the leg is the unfinished section of the buck of the figure. Basically the buck is the base form of a figure unsculpted that is the starting point for all of the 2-ups. |
