Do you see articulation in the prototype pics?
Thanks for the smart reply, at least that's how I'm taking it. Yeah I don't see any, but is it possible that there is a rubber suit with articulation under it like Hot Toys? I highly doubt it, but was hoping. When I ordered it, it said nothing about how many points of articulation it had. I guess that's because they didn't want to tell everyone 7 when all the other figures have 30+.

This is Sideshow we're talking about. They're not exactly pushing the envelope like Hot Toys. Besides, if they did manage to pull something like that off, they'd make a huge deal about it.
I agree with them making a big deal about it. Hey one can dream right?
Not with Sideshow. This'll be a vinyl/plastic figure with limited articulation. It's actually a big deal just to be getting figures now that incorporate non-standard bodies, before the Gammy, everything was built oup around a base human body.

Other than his "skirt" riding high, this figure really looks great.
Anyone else having difficulties veiwing the video?
Figure looks massive in that video, in a good way. Really outstanding figure (paint and skirt aside).

Looking at the part where they talk about the body, they show a close up of the knees and elbows and if you look closely, you can see the hint of joint lines so this figure may be more articulated than we may be thinking...

It really does look like the right arm is straight in some pics and bent in others where he is holding the long-handled axe. Is there any chance it's a silicone suit over an articulated skeleton?
EDIT: Looking at it again I've changed my mind - I think it's just creative angles with the photography that's giving me the impression of different bends in the arm.

While we already know Gammy's rotocast, and isn't getting articulation in the elbows and knees, to be fair, before HotToys even thought of rubber suits, Sideshow made Creature From the Black Lagoon. Additionally, as old as he is, I've never had any issues with the rubber suit on Creature (despite being outside a detolf for a couple years) and he still poses great to this day. HotToys could learn a thing or 10 from that figure.
Wouldn't be the first time they've misled customers with forced perspective photos. Luke and Han in Stormtrooper disguise comes to mind.
The green on him looks good at the con.

I gotta say I'm just not feeling this figure. I'll still likely buy one, but just too many things look off on him for me to be 100% happy.
Still, very pleased that SS is willing to due articulated figures with completely unique bodies.

I totally agree. It just doesn't feel right to me. I may just skip this and get the Attakus Gamorrean statue instead.

Gammy looks fantastic, nice green, costume is superb, albeit riding a bit high.
I just can't get past the fact there's no albow or knee articulation, I'm trying too, I could live without the knees but I don't see why they didn't do the elbows, I don't expect 30 points of articulation but this limits the figure.
Sure it's great we get a Gammy but I'm now not so impressed.

The only thing I'd really tweak is I'd like the fur skirt and his belt line to be lower more like this.
I just always think of the fur covering most of his bottom and here it's the pants under it.
