Figura Obscura

[AceofKnaves]

If I had to choose a single Scrooge look, I’d have to go with nightgown to go with the ghosts.

I like the colors on the koi fish warrior, blotches and all. Though I dunno what need I have for a fish warrior and M Legions don't get any cheaper. Maybe if they did one neon green or blue or royal purple I'd get one. Can't just buy things because I like a color pattern anymore.

Nightgown for Scrooge all the way.

Formal for the inevitable 3-pack with that ungrateful Cratchet and his whiny kid.

 

[AgentHemlock]

Cloth nightgown over his work clothes. Swappable feet, forearms, and hat. And he needs a prized turkey.

 

[altcunningham]

They went full soft goods with the zombie.

Maybe a test for Scrooge to have swappable walk home look and nightgown?

 

[TheCaptain]

Early 19th century formalwear is pretty involved as far as clothing goes so I expect they would stick with the nightgown as the easiest soft-goods option and put the rest of the budget into diorama pieces rather than a second outfit. And I don't think they could re-use the Jacob Marley body for Scrooge because it's too bulky for the nightgown to go over it, and most people picture Scrooge as a skinny-ass Mr. Burns type hunched-over old guy that wouldn't work on that body anyway.

 

[altcunningham]

Makes sense to me. Just give him a big cooked goose instead.

 

[TheSameIdiot]

Medusa can't be far off, right?

 

[altcunningham]

Can't imagine they'd let that slip.

 

[Buttmunch]

Between her and Bastilla in the Rise of the Beasts wave, I’m actually thinking Medusa isn’t in the cards anytime soon with a couple of snakey ladies already coming up. Especially with them trying to make Figura less predictable. I’d certainly love to see Medusa though!

 

[PanchaMaestro]

Only in Harryhausen is Medusa a snake bodied lady. Still they should do her. Easy enough for a beautiful and a monstrous facial sculpt. So many Greek mythos characters they should do.

 

[TheCaptain]

Only in Harryhausen is Medusa a snake bodied lady.

Clash of the Titans may have popularised it, but every piece of media involving Greek mythology that I grew up with had her with the snake body, particularly Age of Mythology and Titan Quest which were two of my favourite games. I would be fine with legs as an option but if they do a Figura Obscura Medusa without the snake-body I think I would be pretty unlikely to buy it.

 

[PanchaMaestro]

Fair enough but for 3000 years she didn't really have one. Not that I don't love some Harryhausen. My preference is for Figura Obscura to look like the actual myths the characters are based on. Up to now that has been the charm of the line. Ganesha that looks like Ganesha; not video game Ganesha.

They got you, bunkie. Optional legs.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Optional legs is the way to go.

I love Harryhausen and I get making her more monstrous for a “boss fight”, but yeah in myth Medusa doesn’t have a snake-body, that’s Lamia the baby-eating vampire demon of Greek mythology.

Which is a roundabout way of saying I WANT LAMIA.

But also Medusa.
