Oh thank god on the Ming news. I have the old 12" Gordon, and he's so lonely without Ming to harass...

[Jerry68]

Approx, how many months? Christmas purchase?

[thunderbolt]

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!

[David Lee]

Oh... here is the whole sleeve...

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!

Very cool guys!
