Each limb is three pieces, and the torso is four (counting the head and optional backpack).

Y'know, I love my classic Battle Beasts, and I'm probably gonna get some Beast Saga figures too...but I'm actually not that into animal-themed stuff. For the Armorvor, I find myself using the backpack as the head, and the helmet as a winged backpack. Makes him look kinda like a Hammer drone from Iron Man II!

But yeah, the figure is as chunky and fun as he looks in the pics. And remember...more are only a few weeks away...

so how do you know when they drop? do you have to keep refreshing the onell design store? is it always the same time? and what's up with the code game in the blog?

Man I'd love to try and get one. But I am probably going to be gone all day that wednesday exhibiting at a fair. Is there anyone who is going to be ordering these that would be willing to order an extra one for me?

This is why I both love and hate limited edition, DIY toys. I missed these the last time. I fear I will miss it again.

I wouldn't really worry if you miss it or not, they will always sell the same Armorvor sculpt every month, only in different colors each time.

Marty, aka theGodbeast. Head over to his blog, and you'll see a lot of the different heads that he offers. All of the heads are sculpted either by Marty himself, or Jason Frailey, who originally sculpted the Armorvor body and wolf head that is going into production.

Yep! Email Marty. He's super nice to deal with. I've been dealing with him for almost 10 years now. He never actually lists any of his stuff on his site. Just give him an e-mail.

Most of the additional heads look wonky on the armorvor body, I say kitbash your own bodies to fit the heads.

When you start getting stuff from Marty you can't stop yourself getting more. I have never been disappointed by any Marty's stuff so far and i'm sure I will never be.

If by wonky you mean looks fantastic then you are correct. Each of Marty's heads and Jason's heads are knock outs. I should know because I have them all and have used them on both the production and prototype bodies. Don't know which ones Eric has, if any, but I wouldn't judge by photos, even though I haven't seen any wonky photos. Enhancements like outer space men bat wings to a body with a bat head or Spy Monkey creations dragon wings to a body with either dragon head compliment the overall look of the figure. I believe Matt Doughty mentioned in comments on his blog that we could see production versions of some of these heads in the future. I hope for the Granthan heads as those Dino noggins are killer on an Armovor body.

I think when he said wonky he meant wonky.

I love the body and some of the heads are pretty fantastic.

That being said a bulky stocky body works perfectly with a lot of those heads but with some it just looks silly.

That just looks funny.

A cool head sculpt and a cool body sculpt does not always equal a cool figure.

Ah, the Sphinx head. I like that head cause it does cool/funny like he's the one trying to buff up in the armor. Eric did say MOST of the heads look out of place but that's cool. I do believe this head existed before the Armorvor came into being though and wasn't ever meant to be an Armorvor head. Marty did this one up around the Kabuto Mushi days. I thought it was cool so I took a pic of it to share. But its like going to the Armorvor thread and looking at the pics people are posting of silly things like a Hello Kitty head on an Armorvor. When a head that was not meant to go on the body is put on the body, then, yes, it may look out of place. I believe Jason and Marty sculpt all the heads going forward from the wolf head using the Armorvor body for reference.

I think a lot of the heads are hit and miss.
The 4 Jason did are off the hook awesome (Wolf, Lion, Bat, Gator) and the Cobra that Marty made is killer. But the rest? Meh, not my cup of tea. Too blocky and linear for my tastes. Although the cat is kind of kewl, too.

The two dragons, the Granthan, and the second cobra were sculpted straight from Matt Doughty's sketches and were approved by him before being released.
