Yes, I realize Hasbro has not made their presence known at the 2014 G.I. Joe Convention here in Dallas, but that doesn’t mean there was no news to be seen down on the sales floor this afternoon.
With various artwork and prototype figure reveals throughout the past few months, hype has started building for the new upcoming toy line from Boss Fight Studio, and finally, we have some relatively production level samples revealed for their new Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. action figure line! HACKS stands for Highly Articulated Character Kit System which obviously leads fans to believe not only are they making some very nicely designed and highly articulated action figures, but these figures are also designed to be customized to a certain level. The end results are simply incredible.
Revealed today at the Boss Fight Studio booth for the first time were mock ups of Medusa and the Gorgon Warrior from this toyline, which feature incredibly well sculpted, detailed, and highly articulated snake creatures from Greek mythology. Their amazing design aesthetic has created a tail like body that looks extremely realistic, yet maintains a surprising level of articulation and stability, while also staying within scale with other figures. As cool as these images might look, seeing them in person was amazing. Looking at the potential with this small first reveal only makes for some mouth watering anticipation for other stuff to come. Check out some of the images below, and keep watching Boss Fight Studio on Twitter, on Facebook, and of course monitor BossFightStudio.com for the latest news. If you’re in Dallas, definitely stop by their booth as well, they’re doing sketches, selling t-shirts, hats, and just shooting the breeze with like minded fans! Enjoy!
Does anyone else look at these pictures and see parts the GI Joe Club could use to make Golobulus?
Hoping that the next year’s convention set might involve Cobra La. That tail would be perfect for him!
Cobra la set could work. Golobulus, Pythona, and Big Lob have been showing up a lot as figure requests from the club. Royal Guards could be the troop builder and it would be a good time to throw in the missing 1987 figures like Fast Draw and Sneak Peak (although I am hoping to see those two guys announced for FSS 3 tomorrow).
I’m concerned tho that as much as we love it, a lot of persons would be polarized by the idea thinking that the whole original movie phase was a weird time for G.I.JOE and wouldn’t see where it fits in with such modern storyline of the past few years.
Then again…this year did feature zombies which is by far the hokiest thing the franchise has done. So i think it could be a strong possibility.
