Interesting.
I'm curious and cautious after Ash. But I love Snake so I hope they get him right, their new Gandalf looks great.
The new Crown GtW figure is definitely the new standard they have set for themselves, at least for the Crown series, so I hope this figure comes out just as good if not better. Asmus also used real leather for Aragorn and Dante's jackets if I remember correctly so hopefully that will mean Snake gets a real leather jacket as well.
Then it becomes the old argument...
They made a great jacket but bad elbow joints.
Great headsculpt but bad rooted hair.
Great accessories but bad stubble.
Every aspect needs to be great, not just assigning parts to different teams at different skill levels and putting the hybrid up for preorder.

If this is a crown series and they go in like their GTW. Then we will be in goof hands. I was hoping they do a The Thing MacReady Crown figure.

Oh boy..
Literally what I was thinking too. I’ll be cautiously waiting for this to release first prior to buying.

I hope this is closer in quality to their GTW and not Ace Ventura.
I got the Sideshow version because I was pretty sure nobody else would ever attempt the character. I am cautiously optimistic as Asmus is hit or miss

Curious but it’s Asmus…so it could be another Ash Willams situation or Gandalf the White…

Will most likely be better than the Sideshow one. That was the only figure I've ever returned.
Oh you returned it?
I kept mine lol
Huh so this is meant to be part of the Crown series AKA cream of the crop then? Did they previously announce they had the license and I missed it or is the comment in the OP the first news of it?
Seems ideal timing giving recent news. So what all would we want in such a release?

This. I had to cancel the Asmus Ash because it was a figure that needed a LOT of work to look great and a nightmare for me to sell off. I'd rather not be duped by promo shots and wait till this figure is in hand.
