New Head Scuplts from Series 4

[alex]

YEAh scaRECROWS SCULPT, LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF THE EVIL DEAD, WE'LL SEE HOW THESE TURN OUT, BUT A little too detaILED FOR MEGO STYLE.

Looks really cool.

Am I the only one who thinks they look a little TOO detailed for Mego headsculpts? Scarecrow's face has almost a living appearance like Venom rather than being a mask.

Ras' appearance and style doesn't mesh with Mego style period. Neal Adams vs Alex Toth. Making Ras a bit 'cartoony' in order to make him more in line with the other Megos would have completely ruined the character. For the figures that Mego didn't make I'd rather them stay true to the character versus true to the Mego line. But that's just me.

I disagree. Mr. Fantastic and Thor are perfect examples of realistic yet Mego-style sculpts.
Ra's isn't really an issue anyway...but I'm really not digging the demonic Scarecrow. He looks like he's made of wood or something...and the neck seems out of place. Just my two cents. I'll end up buying him anyway...the completist in me can't help it.

Yeah, they do but I do think that this will please more folks than a simplified head sculpt. If retro action taught me anything it's that the world is split on what "mego style" is. This is probably the smarter choice for FTC. I personally tend to lean the other way but respect their choice.

I'm not saying you can't have 'realistic' sculpts and it not fit in. The sculpt on the Mego Batman magnetic figure was much more grim than the regular and it was awesome.

I'm saying going the 'Mego' route with Ras would have completely diluted the character. Glad they didn't.

This was precisely my reaction. Nice that they're making these, but Scarecrow especially misses the mark. I thought the intent was to produce figures that looked like their vintage counterparts.

Waaaay too modern looking.

Jut looked at the post hove mine. That is pretty compelling I suppose. Maybe I'll warm up to it when I see the clothing.

[Boshek]

Thanks for posting the pics.

I think they both look great. Maybe down the line we can see a Legion of Doom/Animated style Scarecrow too.

[megonaught]

Those are awesome sculpts.

[Earth 2 Chris]

That is definitely a 70s era Scarecrow, and of course Ra's looks very Adamsy. I like them!

Yeah, after seeing that cover, I'm totally on board with it now.

[Boywonder0]

Both look great! FTC has my money for a while...

I think they both look very cool! I'm looking forward to seeing the costumes. I really hope they don't do printed costumes and instead give Ras a full green suit and cape. Looking at what is for sale on Classictvtoys.com, they already have a green suit in stock. I'd bet that's how they go with it.

As for the Scarecrow sculpt, it could easily fit into the Universal Monsters line, the Evil Dead line, or a Super Friends line all based on how they do the costume. The face is definitely creepy but I'm for it. I prefer the Adams look.
