Molecule8 - 1/6 Scale Willy Wonka

Just thought it was time this figure needed his own thread.

Pictures of the sculpt so far.











Looks amazing so far.

It feels like I've been waiting for this figure all of my life.

Looks pretty, pretty good.

Wonka gets a thread but Lennon doesn't. :

Sculpt looks great so far! It was definitely time for its own thread

It's spelled "Lenin" and I don't think there are many Marxists on these forms. But he is the oft overlooked attache of the Marx Bros. I'd love a 1/6 statue of him!

Good job starting this thread....

We can debate M8 and if they will deliver on the other thread and keep this one for after they deliver Lennon.

Or if..."

When's this shipping?

Still nothing on Lennon? No pic of the proto of a figure that was supposed to be in hand last week?

Soon.

The sculptor looks like Mike Hill but I'm not positive. And why is holding a sculpting tool up to a 3D print? Hmm...

Yeah, the other thread was discussing it. That is Mike Hill.

Good point about the sculpt. It looks finished to me, I was wondering why he was poking at it.

I see so many artists fake sculpting for the sake of a photo it's really become typical. He just happens to be posing with the 3D print of his own work. lol

So first we have Lennon with "Imagine" and then Wonka with "Pure Imagination." What should be next? South Park "Imaginationland" figures?

If you look at the picture the sideburns aren't finished.

Either way I'm excited for this!

I noticed that too. My only thought is it could be a material called CX5 or a custom mixed wax. Though the former uses heat tools.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure Mike Hill knows wtf he's doing, so he could be posing with a baby gorilla in a diaper on his shoulders while riding a unicycle and the only thing I'll be looking at is that perfect (so far) sculpt he's holding, 3D print or not.

As of right now "imagine" is the single word slogan of Molecule8.

It wasn't necessarily meant to be funny, but it is pretty ironic.
