                    Good to hear that Ming is on the way, too. Hope for a few more characters from the serials.

                      I'm eager to see what likeness you use. I can see doing the Red robed version on a 12 inch release but on the 1/9 scale, Middleton had a pretty cool suit with a cape and that skull cap thing he wore. Might differentiate from the BifBangPow movie Ming a bit more.

                        Here is one I like... I colorized a Still from the movie for the box sleeve.



                        Rest assured we'll mix it up a bit as well... we like doing that!

                            I really can't wait for these. I only wish we would have had these about 30-35 years ago--they would have been legendary!
