New Head Scuplts from Series 4

[scott metzger]

What really creeped me out about Ra's appearance was the complete lack of eyebrows! Made him seem like he was completely inhuman.

Yes, finally someone did Ra's correctly! It was either O'Neil or Adams themselves who commented that he was deliberately drawn without brows to make him look more exotic. This is definitely the most dead on Ra's head ever made, and captures exactly what the creators intended.

The Scarecrow is well done, and I can see it as a more detailed Challenge of the Superfriends version in addition to the comics reference given, but I do wonder if it will really fit well with the rest of the line thus far. Not that some Mego figures didn't have great, detailed sculpts (Mego GA is still the best version of the character's noggin ever done), but the kind of detailing here is something we don't see in a lot of the Megos, or even the new figures being made by FTC. Not a deal breaker for me, though; I can't seriously see me passing on any of these.

Love them!
Close one. I was just getting ready to make a Scarecrow after not seeing him pictured on the card.

I just realized something in that picture of DC bad guys. Grodd is creepy with that grin.

"Right turn, Clyde."

If the costuming detail matches the headsculpts I'm in. They'd look great in with the '66 gang.

Adams' Ra's had that bit of artistic license--like the Green Goblin--where the brow-line, eyebrow, and eye shadowing are all merged. It seems that FTC has coped this closely.

I always loved that about Adam's Ra's. When artists give him eyebrows it really honks me off. Do some research, people! This sculpt nails that Adams feel. I hope we get a Batman in a like matter down the road.

Even back then Batman's villains got the big push....
Batman- 7
Flash- 6
Superman- 2
Captain Marvel- 1
Wonder Woman- 0
Aquaman- 0

Yeah, Mr. Element at the expense of Sinestro, Toyman, Bizarro, or Cheetah? Wow.

1) When did The Joker ever wear a green bowler hat?

2) Even back then Batman's villains got the big push....

Maybe The Joker mugged The Riddler on his way to that photo shoot? He's crazy enough to do something like that.

[QUOTE=ThePlayerOnTheOtherSide;1122901]Love that the Ras sculpt was so clearly influenced by Adams' take, as it should be. Also those pics remind me how much I hope they do Talia as well!

Yes, I think Ra's is perfect. And I'm getting an extra Ra's to repaint- he'll make an EXCELLENT original series Klingon.

Penguin looks like he visited jenny craig in that picture.

[Mike77]

These new sculpts are great! I only hope some day we'll get a more realistic secret identities Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson sculpt.

Whoever colored the DC Super-Villains goofed...Lex Luthor's pants should be green and his boots purple.
I always notice stuff like that...even as a kid. Used to drive me nuts when they'd reverse the colors on Batman or Superman's emblems on Super-Friends.
