Aw Damn it. I 'm gonna miss c2e2 this year. These are looking pretty sweet.
Thanks! We think people are going to get a kick out of the Spider.
I am setting aside a small number of sets at my online store so if you want to try and pick them up you will be able to. But the bulk of the 1st run as well as the Prototype for Widowmaker and possibly Kayin Kungaa (the Gorilla) will be at the Con
whats going to be the price points on these guys? I need to see if I can even afford to get into this lol.
I won't know for sure until I figure out all the costs of development and production in 2-3 weeks. With the oversized characters though I am not sure if they will be in the boxed set or not. The sheer dimensions of the Gorilla and Croc make it almost impossible to package and obviously they will use much more resin. I believe seeing them in person, it will be easier to understand their pricing.
For each basic release we plan on having you get 2 figures with a bio trading card for each figure, a custom ring with GiTD ropes, a accessory for the ring (each set will have a different accessory), and it will all be packaged in a nice fully illustrated box for easy storage...but all that is tentative
So hopefully that does not price me out of the market, I am trying to keep it comparable to what I see most people charging
This line is shaping up to be a great contender for my toy money! I'm loving the look of the prototypes and excited over the widow maker.
My biggest concern is since i dont live in the states, I will most likely miss out on any comic con releases or what not.
Hopefully I get a chance to nab some once they're available! Keep up the great work man.

I will be setting aside a small % of each release for my online store fantasticplastictoys.com for people who can't attend Cons or who live overseas

I was able to pick one of these up at C2E2. Before going I was on the fence about whether I wanted to get into the line, but I got one of the thermal sets and am glad I did! Very cool stuff. I've got a writeup and some more photos on the blog at the link below, if anyone wants to check it out:

Thanks for the great review and jaw dropping awesome pics!
The launch this past weekend was amazing, we sold out completely of Thermal Color Change and virtually sold out of Metallic and Gold leaving the show with only 1 of each.
Here was the display in case anyone wanted to see
If anyone is interested in the remaining 2 sets message me otherwise we will be listing them on my store in about 2 weeks to ship in June and then we direct your focus to Leo Corazon (the Lion) whose release is in July

Glad to hear they were a hit! As I mentioned in the post, I'm really happy I bought one and impressed with the level of thought and attention to detail that went into putting the sets together.
There was a lot of great stuff at the Nerd City booth. It was cool to see that display with the upcoming figures--I meant to take a photo of that myself but then totally forgot.

This set is amazing. The Goliath figure is very impressive. He's a lot bigger once I had him hand than I was expecting. About the same height as a standard Battle Beast, but a lot more width, depth and girth to him.
I was very glad to be able to pick up a thermal set. A very nice looking set.
And I got to see all the prototypes of the upcoming releases as well. Leo is a great figure, as is the Gorilla. But Saber with the robe on has a jaw dropping amount of detail on him. Very excited to see full casts of him.

Whoa that is a big size difference, the wolf head is tiny, they almost look like figures that come from two different lines. The scale is off imho. But the sculpt work is nice.

What I like to collect (click below)
Spoiler
"Every passion borders on the chaotic, but the collector's passion borders on the chaos of memories." -Walter Benjamin All toys came from the original One Toy
The scale is in line when you have the entire line in front of you, they are all proportionate based on what they are.
The crocs natural enemy is the Gorilla (Kayin) and the Bull (Talos), just as Andre the Giants' natural foe was Big John Studd and there was a huge attraction to the smaller Hulk Hogan attempting to body slam him at Wrestlemania III. We tried to do similar...at least that was the thought process
See here is the Gorilla and the Croc, the size is comparable even though Goliath is technically bigger due to the fact his tail and back encompass more volume just like a real Gator. Gators in real life are between 10-21ft long and a Gorilla is around 6-10ft tall.
I just hope people keep that in mind since Leo coming in July (The Lion) is only 1.6" and has his knees bend so he really looks shrimpy compared to Goliath. But in the wrestling world you would have to envision Rey Mysterio Jr taking on Andre the Giant or Brock Lesnar to see how the size would work to his advantage (faster, high flying moves, easier to take a giant down by the leg)
On another note I finished editing and mixing the first animation, its meant to double as a commercial and be a proof of concept so we can combined 5-6 of them into a short demo to pitch for a bigger budgeted animated series/special
Thanks it came out good enough, there are some things I want changed on future ones but it was a learning curve especially with the time crunch I put on to get it done.
I have 1 Gold set left if anyone is wanting that, Metallic is now all sold out as well
I think one of my favorite things about the line so far is the screwy scale. I am sick of toy lines that make everything the same size for the sake of saving some money. It gets boring. If it's animals then some stuff should be twice as big as other stuff just like in nature. Forced scale gets old in my opinion. That's why i like UofV mixed with gorewads so much.

If you bought into our Metallic line this is what your end of the year will look like (Though Kayin Kungaa the Gorilla will be a different shade to not clash with the Wolf Ulric Wolfrom)
