Reply With QuoteThere's lots of Calix fans, he's one of my most wanted figures. I love getting figures of existing characters we've never had figures of before. I can't wait for Calix, Dactys, Darius, Eldor, Sebrian, Scorpia, Evilseed.
And maybe I am very happy now...Originally Posted by bcrduke
And maybe he's alread on the roster for 2013....

Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
HE-MAN UK Adventure Magazine # 20 and 26
This line doesn't really work that way though. I mean how many people actually wanted Snout Spout, the Star Sisters, or Horde Prime before Two Bad, Horde Troopers, or Ram Man?
I realize that, but at least the 4 characters I mentioned are all rock characters while you just listed characters from different lines/media. Looking at the way Mattel has released the He-Man & Skeletor variants, it may not be likely, but it's not impossible either.

I must have missed Geldor's episode.
Well he did have his own Mini Comic with his name in the title.
Awesome sticker included!
I must have missed the Mosquitor episode!
So great news about Icon AND Eric Treadaway working together on the castle statue! Eric spoke a few times on RGD regarding his vision for how the castle in classics should look like or what he would like to accomplish if given the chance and this design is a triumph!
But ...
What were Eric's plans for the interiors?
What did he keep, revamp or throw out?
Is there concept art?
Will there be a series of "Inside Castle Grayskull" statues showing us his full vision?
Any chance Icon could increase statue dimensions before going to production?
And most important of all ...
... does collaborating on this statue with Icon allow Matty to finally decree to fans, "absolutely no playsets! If you want a castle, buy from Icon."
I hope not but budget cuts, no vehicles and fewer beasts means the end of the big price SKU gamble.
I'd be down for collecting Eternia locales (Fright Zone, Snake Mountain, etc.) and faction vehicles (ships, tanks) from Icon if Matty so blesses ...

Considering you didn't know who he was, I'm not surprised. It was a good one.
Besides, I wasn't the one who said...
"Meh, I can relate to characters better when they get at least a full episode to themselves."
Yeah, I can relate better. However, as I said before, the reason I voted for Illumina is because she wasn't a character we already have (Evil-Lyn, Trap-Jaw, Marlena, Kobra Khan) and once you take out those, she was the only one left that has a ******.
Technically Illumina doesn't due to being made of plastic, but I think you spelled ****** wrong anyways.
A lot of people can't relate to characters with no focus. MYP Queen Marlena vs Filmation Marlena is an example of that. Filmation Marlena was a bit player for years until she had an episode all to herself. Almost everyone wanted her in Classics. MYP Marlena really didn't have an episode to herself and then it wasn't in her Queen outfit. Because of her fight with Tung Lashor and Kobra Khan, Battle Armor Marlena is more desired.
Hey Brian, 2 questions if you please?
Did your predictions come true at SDCC (FYI I didn't see them but read that you were going to post them)?
What were you going to ask the panel before they stopped the questions?
Thanks to everyone at Power-Con! It was an incredible experience!
I can speak to this a little... As I worked directly with Eric as we came up with the design of this version of Grayskull together.
Plans for interiors? Not for this statue. We knew up front it was just to be an exterior environment type statue like that Thundercats Cats Lair statue also done by Icon Heroes.
Is there concept art? Yes, I drew it.
What was kept? What was Thrown out?
Can't get into much of that right now. As far as the design goes? It's mostly all there.
A series of interior statues? None that I'm aware of.
A chance to make it larger? Not likely. It's not a playset.
The Matty/Icon decree of no playsets?
No, this is a statue line from Icon to the fans, not a statement from Mattel.
I can imagine if Grayskull does really well for Icon, then other environment statues will follow.
I've no doubts of that.
I'm not Eric, but I am involved with this project and would be happy to answer any questions.
Just be mindful that sometimes "no" and "I don't know" are legitimate answers!
My involvement was essentially working directly with Eric, to come up with a design that would go through Mattel approvals, then I created the control art for the statue. Then I art directed the progress on the statue. (sadly Eric didn't have time to sculpt it.) but it was finally painted up at the Horsemen's studio by Sherri under Eric's direction.

Wow, great job and congrats! How about an obvious question (sorry if I missed the answer)...how big is it?I can speak to this a little... As I worked directly with Eric as we came up with the design of this version of Grayskull together.

Should be around 9.5 to 10" tall. About 9 - 10" wide and around 11" deep.
That was the initial measure on the designs... The final proto is likely varied a little.

I'm pretty sure nobody has actually said what the dimensions of this thing are. It's been driving me crazy! LOL!
Did you see my post?

Ah, cool... I think we posted within minutes of each other!Did you see my post?
Who stated that Calix was a definite for 2013?
Check out my band The Caterpillar Book on iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, etc.
Thanks man, finally someone who posted some more pictures of the actual booth. I hadn't seen the new art with Gygor and Vykron before. Looks really nice

Thank you so much for responding! Wonderful to hear what a positive experience this was!
So I'm obviously curious as to what drawings where done depicting the inside of the castle. Was there any conversations as to how much the design would change if it were used by Mattel for the playset? Did Eric ever share with you his dream dimensions for a realized playset? Will Eric work with you realizing ALL the enviornments should they go to production, such as Fright Zone, Snake Mountain, Eternia, etc. ?
Taking in all the detail of the statue I'm amazed how great it looks. There are sections that imply a grand scale if there were actual figures to display which begs the question how massive should the main entrance be to characters?
Thanks again for the inside scoop! My money is waiting ...for TWO!!! Bring on more!!!
I would love to see all the rock creatures & rock warriors make it into motuc.
