McFarlane Toys has revealed their second series of Fantasy figures from Legends of the Bladehunters. Coming off the sweeping success of thier articulated Halo 3 figure line, some of these figures sport what appears to be a decent amount of articulation.
Check them out. My personal favorites are the Cronus the Necromancer and the Captain Bayle, the Knight. Click below to see the full galleries
Joe F. from the Spawn.com Message Board revealed one of the production photos of the upcoming King Draako figure from thier Legends of the Blade Hunters line. He also showed the figure in comparison to one of their previous Dragons releases. Next to the Sorcerer's Clan boxed set, this may be my favorite dragon they've done since they started doing them a few years ago.
Here's the photos and some of Joe's explanation:
What you see above is the first shot sample from Hong Kong. Basically, it’s the first sample to come out of the freshly cut steel mold at the factory. Before we go into final production, we use this sample to ensure the quality of the steel mold. Once it has been approved we then move on to the grey molds for further inspection, and make sure the sculpt is still up to standards and no detail has been lost in translation.
As McFarlane's Dragons line comes to a close, Legend of the Blade Hunters steps up to take its place for fans of fantasy figures. Keeping with the hyper-realistic style found in the Dragons line and offering a mix of dragons and fantasy characters this is a line that could be very popular in certain circles despite what looks like the standard level of McFarlane articulation. Expect this line to hit sometime in May, 2008
