something you don't see every day:
the blue/green 'figures' are presentation pieces that served as scale "reference studies" for the design/marketing team...etc... to gauge what they were aiming for size-wise for what would essentially become the Sgt. Savage line. the reference set is all kit-bashed from X-Force and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs parts.... not a joe part on em. these are like... prototypes of prototypes. heheheheh. it's not unheard of for a toy company to use another toy company's parts to play around with scale and size. these have no moving limbs... the molds were cast over the kit bashed figures and the result was this set that was used in developmental meetings before they started on the Sgt Savage line. but they are completely legit Sgt Savage preproduction pieces despite not having any actual JOE parts. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT PREPRODUCTION... NOT HOW STUPID GYRE IS FOR BUYING SGT SAVAGE anything. (glares at Roshan). hahahahahahahaahahhaahahha. so basically the green/blue kit-bashes came first... to get the size down... then later in the process... concept art was provided to a sculpter who used the art to sculpt 2 ups. So also pictured are a few Sgt. Savage 2ups. and comparisons to a finished figure. If you want to know more about 2ups etc... head on over to joeintel.com's preproduction forum. it'll blow your minds.

Y'know, I hope you made provisions with your family for your collection, because you know after you're dead and cats have eaten your body, somebody clearing out your personal belongings is going to look at all this stuff and go, "Holy crap, what a bunch of broken unfinished junk!", not realizing what it is.

Wow, they really were all about using X-Men stuff back then, here and with the unproduced '95 stuff I guess that's what was on the pegs.
Interesting to see 2 ups when the current hyper detailed stuff ia done nearly to scale. I remember at the con in...'94 I think, I haven't been to many. It was the 30th anniversary one on board the Intrepid aircraft carrier in New York. They had the actual size parts laying out since they were announcing the Savage line. I personally find this pretty fascinating. The solid concept pieces are something I never would have thought existed. |
