The Hero Project - New 8 Inch Super Articulated Figures

[ODBJBG]

Legendary heroes recreated in 8 inch figure form. New Kickstarter project from former designers at Hasbro: The Hero Project - New Toys of Legendary Heroes



I already pledged. Hoping to see these come to fruition.

Interesting to see how they tackle articulation on these.

This shows a bit of the articulation breakdown:

Hmmmm.....it seems to be a good idea. I like the idea of classical mythological heroes like Osiris, Rama, Quetzocoatl, etc.

But, will there really be a demand for these? A lot of kids today don't know classical mythology from a hole in the wall. It's not required reading like it was when we were kids. Nowadays it's more about modern myths like Darth Vader, Captain Kirk, Luke Skywalker, etc.

I'll admit, my curiosity is piqued. I think the articulation looks excellent and the accessories are pretty cool too. Same thing for the artwork. It shows that they have passion for this line.

I might check it out, IF it comes to fruition.

Heroes of Myth is a good way to go and pay no license (just like Mego did with the Legends lines). Figure looks nice. Not sure I'd be in for the first guy, but he looks cool.

Cool idea, just wonder what they mean by 8". Will it be a mego 8" or a Famous Covers 8"

Neither, it's closest to a GI Joe Sigma 6. Almost identical in design, except with a bit more articulation and without the blocky anime styling.
