Hey guys and gals.
Just to clarify what happened-
Fox & Marvel asked us to pull them down, but will allow us to post them at a future date. I guess they wanted our release to be more inline with their promotion strategy. It's all good.
We will be reposting them at an later (but not too much later) date.
And no, the maquettes will not be changed.
They are EXACT replicas of the maquettes that Spectral Motion designed for the movie. Why is Beast naked? Because it's a study of what the entire make-up appliance design is for the film.
These movie maquettes (X3, Hellboy's Abe Sapien, FF's Thing, Blade: Trinity's Drake, etc.) are a chance to give fans an opportunity to own a piece of a film's conceptual design process. Sideshow is proud to replicate each maquette as is, since the artists who created these great designs put so much effort into the sculptures. It's also the only opportunity fans get to see the conceptual process first hand, save for maybe some small pics on some DVD extra feature, or something.
And don't worry- if any of you placed an order for one, the order will be kept on file, and honored.
If you have any more questions about the maquettes, I'll pop in to answer them throughout the day.
Thanks for understanding!
Brock
