Will Astronaut Steve Austin have a new/revised headsculpt?

[Krypt0nite]

I'm loving the SMDM line, but was a little disappointed with the softness of the Steve Austin head sculpt as well as the size. Any chance of a revision with the upcoming Astronaut version?

[Bionicfanboy66]

Hopefully he will.

I didn't think about this. It would be a perfect opportunity for BBP to fix their SMDM head for us.

According to BifBangPow! JLabs there will be a smaller head!!!

Hi Everyone! Happy New Year! We love all of the ideas. Thankfully, we have some good news to start 2013 with. The next series of 8-inch figures from us is actually in production - believe it or not. Yes, we did overcome the hurdles of 2012 and the figures promised 9-12 months ago are actually scheduled to ship in Q1. Just to remind folks, those figures are:

The Six Million Dollar Man Oscar and Fembot
The Venture Bros Brock, Killinger, Molotov and Billy
The Twilight Zone Alien, Nurse, Cyclops and Alicia
Doctor Who Leela, Sutekh, Scaroth and Morbius.

We are simultaneously working on finalizing additional characters from all of those brands including:
Battlestar Galactica Athena and Lucifer
Doctor Who Li H'Sen Chang and Mr. Sin, and Dalek

The Six Million Dollar Man Steve Austin Astronaut (smaller head) and Barney Hiller

The Venture Bros. Shore Leave and Alchemist

So that's 23 announced figures we are working on right now. What's next? Previously shown figures from Comic-Con including an 8-inch Dexter Morgan, Doctor Who 1st Doctor, Kraal and Magnus Greel.


And then there's Toy Fair next month - we will be at booth 4950. Yes, more unannounced 8-inch figures are scheduled to be shown. And we also promise a few surprises, announcements and 8-inch exclusives for SDCC 2013. We also have a ton of other (non EMCE) items. Come for the 8-inch, stay for the glassware, 3 3 / 4 inch figures, bobble heads, journals, lunchboxes, license plate frames, water bottles and a whole lot more! Happy New Year from the BBP team!

I like the sculpt as it is now.

[Krypt0nite]

Great news! A better scaled head will be a great improvement---I'll buy multiples for sure!

[mmedina88]

Nothing like the Diver4 head on ebay though. That one is spot on!

[BifBangPow! JLabs]

Correct. New / smaller head sculpt coming.

Thanks, Jason! Can't wait for an awesome Mego astronaut.

That's great news! The martian heads have been my biggest complaint of these figs. Hopefully Steve gets a little vitamin D as well.

I really hope to see 20 waves from this line. I love it! Would love to see a George Foreman figure too.

That's great guys, the head size was my only real problem with the first wave.

[Bionicfanboy66]

Michael Austin, Jim Castilian, Kate Mason, and James Goldman! Oh yeah, John Perry(Sonny Bono) and Dr. Franklin(John Houseman). Need to get a Bionic Woman line up and running(no pun intended), too.

Here are the prototypes from Toy Fair 2013...

I wonder if the Robot will have a face plate.

Wow! Great looking figures! I just love this line!! BBP is really knocking this out of the park. And that new Steve Austin figure looks like he has a new head sculpt as well. I might be wrong, but the nose and hair line look different. Barney looks perfect too! This is one of the most exciting lines out there, in my humble opinion. So nice to see so much love given to a classic license. I sincerely hope these sell!! I want them to keep going!
