Re: Molecule8 (New company)

I'm pretty sure the truth will be somewhere in the middle... no ones going to be "right".

Re: Molecule8 (New company)

That's the plan... Show WIP photos chronologically until the final reveal. You nailed it. At least according to M8, that's their plan. They've stated that everything in the photos thus far are early WIP pics and that many improvements have been made... I'm looking forward to more, personally

Do you work for them? Because it sounds like you work for them.

It looks like you joined the forum, posted in some other threads to make it look less suspicious, and then post in this thread most of the time, defending them and explaining their actions.

This forum is more than happy to talk to company reps, but it works better when we know they're reps. When they're regular "boardies", they get involved in petty squabbles like this. So, it's best to just post as an official rep, lest you be labeled a shill.

The problem usually occurs when you aren't a rep, but act like it, post on their behalf, and explain things, then people complain to you because of various issues, because they think you're a normal boardie, where they'd have more respect for a company representative.

Just some food for thought.

Why string this along when you have a production piece? Don't really care about the process at this point if they aren't really in the process.

He's just repeating what M8 commented on their Facebook post earlier today. I don't see how they makes him some kind of clandestine shill.

It's interesting enough, but I agree. Just show us the production piece and then show us the process.

They are acting like they have the next hulkbuster

not even hulkbuster gets that type of treatment

its just another 1/6th figure with another KA sculpt

Re: Molecule8 (New company)

Maybe this is a silly question but is KA Kim a digital artist? I didn't think so but most of the images of this sculpt have been Digital.

The photos of the sculpt are real, the banner image on their homepage has the glasses CG'd over the top. I don't think there are any 'digital' photos of the sculpt. Not sure what else you are referring to.

Not a rep, sorry. I guess I'm just not as negative about this new company as some. I often try to help others with information they may have missed. I enjoy this hobby and only want friendly and courteous persons involved in it. I've got zero tolerance for pettiness or rudeness, etcetera... Not saying you have been either. A bit presumptuous perhaps, but not necessarily rude. Also, I don't particularly care about what others think of my posts. I joined this forum because after 18 years of being a 1/6 enthusiast and collector I figured, why not? I wasn't aware that this forum had so much to offer. I'm excited to be a part of it and hope to stay that way. Hope this clears some things up for you.

Thank you, buddy. I'm really just trying to help others who may have missed info pertaining to the Lennon figure. I'm in no way affiliated with M8, other than being enthusiastic about what they have to offer. No worries what others may think of me or my posts. I try to keep things civil, friendly, and enjoyable

I am sorry my friend but if you only want "friendly and courteous persons" involved in this (or any other) hobby you should start bracing yourself for some serious disappointment now...

I've been in long enough to know there are bad apples I just try my best to keep things friendly. If others want to be rude or nasty, that's their problem. I'm also aware that many persons on here are much younger than me and need to do some growing up. Anywho, I'm looking forward to more reveal pics of Lennon. I would have been stoked to see the final product by now, but I can wait. Patience is something I learned to have long ago in this hobby

There is no correlation between age and maturity here

I'm curious to see how their future releases will be handled since they've already acquired the licenses. I do not expect a two month turnaround from reveal to release as standard. Since this is their first release, they were able to keep it under wraps for over a year and I assume they purposely announced it when production was near completion (I have my doubts on this). I believe turn around times will be similar to current companies. Unless they decide to handle it the same way as this Lenon figure which would mean a year of waiting with no actual prototype. We would only be "waiting" whatever the time it takes from reveal to release. It just makes it seem the turnaround time is faster than it really is

Re: Molecule8 (New company)

Please do not read to much into how John looks, we just wanted to show you the progress and how he will evolve.

...these are early pictures of John Lennon, we are just showing the progress, we want you to see how he evolves until the finished product is shown. Further updates will be coming.

...these pictures are just to show you his progress. More pictures to come over the coming days.

...John's hands will look great don't worry.

The picture is just for the purpose of being able to show you the progress of John. These are not the finished figure Also the sculpt will also be further improved.

That is exactly what we want to do, take the 1:6 figure industry to the next level and at a fair price.

Also, did Molecule8 delete all those posts reassuring people that he'll be perfect? I can't find them.

Re: Molecule8 (New company)

I don't know how accurate the info is but Asmus said M8 will be making 1/4 scale LOTRs figures.

Good enough i'll take them.
