How2Work's Albert Einstein

[metaphorge]

Apparently this ships in October. I haven't been this stoked for a figure in a LONG time; I've long dreamed of having an excellent 1:6 Einstein.

From Craig Chen, at TTF:



There's a much clearer photo over at ToysREvil from Ani-Com.

This reminds me, I should pick up How2Work's V.I. Lenin next month after I've recovered from moving expenses.

That is so cool. Now I want a Nikola Tesla figure!

 

[Voorhees27]

Wow thats a great looking piece!

 

[Kuzeh]

Looks awesome!

Yeah, I initially tried inlining the pics from TRE too.

That is a real beauty and, I suspect, will be a Big Seller. Kudos!

Dude looks like a little Albert on the shelf!

Personal note: My Uncle Peter took classes with Prof. Einstein at Princeton many years ago. He was a Math Wiz.

They held many of their classes on Campus outside under a tree.

That's a great looking figure. Does anyone know of any other websites where you can order him from?

I'd guess the usual suspects for getting HK toys, but I haven't seen him go up for presale anywhere yet, not even on eBay.

Cool, thanks for the info.

@Pjam, Great story about your uncle. It would've been an honor to have a genius as a professor.

Yeah thanks Carbo, get this. Einstein wrote a letter of recommendation, a nice personally hand written letter, to my Uncle's Mom, My great Aunt.

Einstein was not that well known then and/or she didn't know much about him and tossed it!

The class was Probabilities BTW. My Uncle was Brilliant in Math.

 

[carbo-fation]

That's pretty awesome. It would have been nice if she had kept the letter though. Do you have any pictures of him with you uncle? I am sure your uncle was brilliant as well.

 

[galactiboy]

Now that would be a great figure to own... please share if you guys find it for sale anywhere

Hmm.. I don't know. I remember my Uncle telling us Einstein wore sneakers and the same black pants and jacket every day. I think they were Converse.

Anyway, this figure is a "Must Have" IMO.

This is the kind of thing that makes a one-man show figure shop like me pull my hair out It's a BEAUTIFUL figure, but not one I would have ever guessed people would want. It's an art form in itself; trying to second guess what people will want in their collections. Great figure, great subject. But he's one I would never have guessed!

This has long been one of my wishes, and I've had in mind for some time to work a Talking Presidents/Time Capsule Einstein into a custom in casual clothes. Our own C Howes did the sculpt for that figure. As with most Time Capsule figures, the head is quite large, and he'd have to be displayed alone.

I have How2Work's Che and Lenin figures. Che is quite good, though not painted convincingly, and Lenin is superb, but also needs a repaint due to the fact that How2Works uses no inner protective packaging at all. I don't think the figures are even tissue-wrapped. So a nose rub is likely, and there's not much to be done about it. When I find an Einstein (on eBay, I expect) I will ask the seller to open and wrap it, but who knows whether they will agree.

Who carries these figures? They are great looking

 

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

Looks like a pretty cool figure.

I was always disappointed with the size at which Toy Presidents had me sculpt my Einstein head.

I was thinking about doing a shrink job on him and improving the sculpt overall. Might even make a version like this down the road!

Not sure if anyone would want this, though!

 

[galactiboy]

I didn't know you did the sculpts for Toy Presidents... I was so let down by their paint work. Always looked like a good sculpt, but it was hard to tell.

So who else (besides Einstein) did you sculpt?

 

[drbrad1975]

That's a sweet looking figure. That's why I love looking at these boards because this is something that I would have completely missed if I wasn't aware of it. I am definitely getting this one. Just fabulous looking!!

I'd be ALL OVER that.
