    The sculpt resembles John Rhys-Davies as Professor Maximillian Arturo on Sliders

    It's really got potential for a neat Arturo custom

      I kinda got a Hillbilly Jim vibe from it, for all of you that want some old school WWF Megos....

        Just went by during lunch to take a look in person and I have to say I really like the sculpt. I can see what others are saying, but I think it definitely captured the original look. I can't wait to get one.

          I think it will look amazing on a card, I think we can expect some awesome packaging for these guys.

            It's perfect! Consider one sold. Luv the hands, bodysuit and head sculpt.
            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

              The sculpt is great, I think the human flesh tones needs to be darker and not so human, that would probably fix that hillbilly look he kinda has in the photo...

                Yup, just needs a bit of a repaint.

                    If they darken the flesh on the production piece, it'll vastly improve. This is likely a hand painted sample and the effects of flash photography we're seeing here.

                        Neat! It's so awesome to see the first of the SMDM line!

                        (he looks a bit like an old friend of the family)

                        Gotta add Bigfoot to my must haves.

                            Sweet! Looks cool as a proto and can only be improved upon if at all! Can't wait!

                              Not bad for a prototype. With a better paintjob this will be perfect

                                Man, I hate to criticize but there are a couple of things I'd love to see improved. The headsculpt looks a litte too "human." I would love to see him looking wilder and meaner (maybe an open mouth so we can really see the fangs) with more of that spooky look he had in his eyes. Also, I know that Andre had a barrel-shaped torso but the Bigfoot costume hid that a bit. I also think this should be stuffed to look a little less like he has a big belly... whether it's completely accurate or not. There was just something really scary about the character on the show that this is not quite "hitting."

                                At any rate, I LOVE that we're getting these and I love that there's going to be a BIGFOOT!

                                I agree. The head looks more like Wolfman Jack. The eyes need less pupil and more of that ghostly white. More fang would be cool, too. The biggest problem (like the old Kenner figure) is the skin tone makes him look like a human. There needs to be a much darker paint -- especially around the eyes. The skin tone of the hands is closer to accurate. Here are some screen-caps from the actual episode for reference...
