You think they could have used a bigger picture. Its a little hard to see any detail.

"...on a cloud-like base...?" They could have done better, IMO...

I'm anxious to see what Magnus will look like.

Looks like they got their inspiration from Solar #3 cover.

I wonder if the yellow glow around him is photoshop or part of the statue...

Sue looks like it, they even talk about BWS, and the text logo is Valiant's. I wonder if the original contract between Valiant and Western gave Western the right to use Valiant's derived creation?

Uhm...he looks a bit stiff and llike he has just counted down for lift-off

DawgPhan · Post by **DawgPhan** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 3:39 pm

any word on the cost or did I miss it in the blurb?

lobo · Post by **lobo** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 3:55 pm

Cost= $49.99.... in the blurb.

Does Dynamic forces know something? Advanced solicitations on Solar and Magnus statues maybe pointing to those characters getting published in 2006??

I have not bought any statues yet but I do like this Solar one.

sonicdan · Post by **sonicdan** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 4:58 pm

I like the statue and will probably buy 2 of them.
Can't wait for the Magnus one as well. I'm definetly
curious how they have it worked out that they can use
the Valiant likeness. The litho's that Layton was working on
for Dynamic Forces were very Valiant influenced as well.
See here: http://www.newsarama.com/forums/showthr ... adid=32627

Also, for those that havne't seen it, Dymamic Forces & Classic Media released this press release last August.

I'd like to know too. We were in negotiations to have an X-O commissioned.

speedracex · Post by **speedracex** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 10:16 pm

I think its great, for me, who has space, but being I collect so much s***, these are a must have, will have to pack up some of the loose figures, etc....but to have these bad boys on the shelves will be great, hopefully we see a turok, and on and on......imagine if they actually had Valiant rights....a harbinger team statue, similar to the current fantastic four one, with connnecting platforms for a team stance, sweet
