Keir Dullea as Red Spaceman

[screamingmetal]

While not on the same level as 2001, 2010 is a good movie.

Agreed.
Watch it, just don't expect to see something on the same level as 2001 ASO.
It also in a way redeems HAL, which is what I like most about it!

That said "2010" was made and does exist and if this stuff does appear in that movie (I've never bothered to watch it) I will concede that they could possibly get license to do merchandise that way.

But again, "Discovery Astronaut Keir Dullea" screams "WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE THE MOVIE RIGHTS!"

Regarding the first part: Yes, both Bowman and the Space Pod appear in "2010". Albeit Bowman is considerably older looking, even though he's supposed to be the same age as in 2001.

BOWMAN

POD

Regarding the second part, I agree 100%. If you have the license why would you give the figure a generic title and use the ACTOR'S real name instead of the characters name!? And why would you omit the actual franchise title, either 2001 or 2010 if you had the right to!? And if it's a matter of "well they're in the process of getting the license" then my next question would be "Do you think it would HELP or HURT your chances to secure a license from a company if you ALREADY had stuff made up and displayed in a trade show using those likenesses?" Because I would think the latter.

Wow, Thanks.

The price of the Underwriter's Pod is $2000 and will go up to $3000 after pre-orders are done being taken.

I really hope this is not a deal for CC to mass produce pods. I have the
utmost respect for Scott's modelling skills and I am sure he works hard.
But he is already about 10 years behind on his preorders.

Are there any pics around of Go Hero's cyclops and skeleton that were to be shown?

Someone had pics of them somewhere on here. I need to watch these 2001 movies I have heard so much about them.

Thanks, those look awesome...any word on price?

 

[Batty]

I'm not sure about prices. Here's a better pic of the skeleton.

Nice I cant wait until he starts selling those stands.

For what it's worth I suggested to one of the representitives of Executive Replicas that someone should post some clarification on the Bowman figure. The one thing I am pretty sure on is that the likeness is licensed throught Keir Dullea. The portrait sculpt was done by Joy Snyder of Joy and Tom Studios. Her husband and son were at the show displaying some of their statue work at another booth. All that they knew for sure was that the figure was a joint project between Executive Replicas and Go Hero. Their only involvment with the project to this point was sculpting and painting the head. They did say there might be some slight tweaking of the sculpt as there is only 4 hours of work into it so far.

WOW! Pretty good for only 4 hours of work!

I hope we get some 'real' clarification on the license, figure, pod soon...I'd love to know what exactly they will be offering so I can stash some $$$ aside for it.

Go...Zero?

 

[Devil_666]

lmao @ the "Clash of the Titans" Perseus knock-off behind the Skeleton. Looks more like Sylvester Stallone than Harry Hamlin.
I think the sign says "Wrath of the Titan"

Although the mechanical Owl Bubo looks cool.

 

[FlyAndFight]

If this turns out to be legit, this would be EXCELLENT news. I've been clamoring for this license to be done for years. I even started up a thread here not too long ago regarding the possibility of Hot Toys running with the license. I sure hope this is for real.

You and me both! And Darklord Dave...and...well...I'm sure the list is too many to name!

If it's a joint figure, I could see Bowman going for quite a bit of $$$

Well, the Buck Rogers Go-Hero figure is going for $175 on their site...so I would imagine Bowman to end up being more than that.

Its not supposed to look like him this is based on Wrath of the Titans Comic.

You can get those lights at Target.

You're kinda coming from a place of ignorance on that, its not a "knock off" because "Wrath of the Titans" is a comic book. But that said, I'm not too happy with the face either. Its too generic.
