What a strange and interesting figure. And yes, I know what it is based on for once, lol. I saw it over on OSW, and been wondering about it. It seems like it's got seamless ankles, but interchangeable hands, and the wrist area is hidden by the blue flame magic thingies. Curious though if he can stand on his own.... given the poses and the use of a stand in one of the images, I suspect he might not be able to.

I know this is a different company from Toys Era — who tried to do the Mystique figure, and failed — but I’d be reluctant to P.O. this without seeing a production figure — assuming they can even pull this off.

Yeah, very good point.

Well, their War Wolves delivered what they promised, so it is possible they will pull it through. If it is the same type of body (but with continuous feet, which is different), then it is likely to be aesthetically pleasing but less poseable/pleasant to work with and less stable than a TBLeague. I like the set, and am curious to see what they manage to get out of this version of their body, although I am not particularly interested in the character. Still, they are trying to fill a niche or provide additional/alternate offerings of Superheroes, and the list of their products grows (I only have one of the war wolves, so I can't speak as to overall quality from this company) -- 2 War Wolves, U.M Girl (Polaris), Wolf Baby.

I like this since the only 1:6 silver surfer came from marvel icons many years ago. I have that one but the articulation stinks plus the joints are very visible.  As far as the ankles on this figure, I wonder if they made an articulated foot underneath? I hope so. And if so, I'll be ordering this for sure.

How is the silver done? Is it some kind of dye embedded in the skin or is it paint? If it was paint, I'd be worried about it cracking and flaking over time.

I think there is enough in the photos to conclude that they do indeed use an articulated foot under the seamless covering. However, I can only hope that it is functional, i.e., able to have the figure stand on its own. I don't know to what extent is has bearing, but the more conventional foot and ankle peg with the ADD Toys War Wolves seamless muscular body weren't great at stability -- though the problem may have been with the slightly jiggly nature of the legs themselves.

I'm still very impressed with the texture and hair coloring on the ADD Toys War Wolves seamless muscular body, and if this application is like that, I suspect it will be good; of course, here we are dealing with a continuous silver coloring of a whole body, whereas the War Wolves body had specks and hairs, which is not exactly the same thing.

The final pic at the bottom says 'no cracking, no fading'. How true that is, we shall have to see. : )

Finally someone has the balls to do this!
I'm resigned to the fact that this figure won't stay pristine for long on the display shelf but its too unique a figure to pass up.
I hope the price won't be a shocker and it helps that there's an option without the expensive-looking base.

This is incredible. I always look at these figures as drawing reference first, and I don't yet have a male figure. This of course opens up ridiculous photo shoot possibilities!

And I'm thinking there must be magnets in the feet for the board to stick, which would be awesome!

I also immediately started wondering whether there is a silver Rit dye...

BUT... the limited articulation puts a HUGE damper on the usability as artist reference. Still. This might be spectacular enough t buy anyway. With base in that case. (Funny how limited articulation leads to "with base". )

OSK has this up for pre-order $225:

I can not pass on this. Just too damn amazing.
Just waiting for KG or Giantoy. There at least I am sure I can change my mind and get the deposit back.

I would really like to see the board on the base without that photoshopped swoosh over it. Cause that's cheating.

Had someone translate the last page, said the syntax is unusual,
like a Japanese person wrote it.
I don't understand what she meant by that but here goes...

Wow! Timewalker has this up for PO, Luxury Edition $204.99 USD & $130.99 for the ordinary.

I saw that two. Won't be able to take advantage of the cheaper price because I paid a NRD so I'm stuck with the cool looking display. Not a bad problem to have, I guess. I'll follow my own suggestion, "No looking back!".
or is that "No soup for you!". No... I think it's the first one.

Doesn't seem that great a deal to me. I POed the luxury edition at KG for roughly US$175. They don't offer it anymore though.
They do still offer the normal version for US$115.

KG’s shipping to the US is too high, and Timewalker has free shipping if you bundle for US residents.

Oh. I didn't realize KG charge you for shipping. It all make sense now. Thanks for clarifying.

This guy is finally getting shipped!

Hope he has turned out well and you enjoy him. Let us know.

Wow! That took awhile. Hope it’s worth the wait.

Congrats! I know you’ve been waiting for this one!

I got the base diorama first. The very tip was broken off. Not worried at all though. Nothing some super glue can't fix. Still waiting for the actual figure. I was wondering if anyone has received theirs yet and could provide pictures?

Been checking youtube for reviews but nothing yet. If I get him soon, I'l post some quick pictures.

Mine has arrived and I am very happy. I'll post pictures and maybe a video asap, if noone beats me to it, as I won't have time today.

He looks fantastic. The body is light and easy to pose. The magnetic attachment to the board is quite weak and needs testing before I can pass final judgment. I couldn't get him to stand on his own two wobbly feet without the stand, which is a shame. The base is so spectacular that I don't think the stand distracts that much though.
