Bif, your action figures... woof.

I'm into the retro MEGO feel, but these seem horribly off model in terms of proportion, sculpt and color. The Monarch and Co's gaunlets are huge while the wings are undersized, the colors are off on Dean's outfit and Brock's head looks ridiculous. Hopefully these protos were just put together on the fly (it's not uncommon to see prototypes with wet paint and glued together parts at these things) and are not representative of the final product.

I keep staring at Brock and obsessing over how much I don't like it. My biggest issue is that no human being is shaped like that, First, his head is way too big for his body. The average person is 7 and a half heads tall, and that Brock is barely 5. His shoulders need to be wider, and his arms need to be much longer. No one has arms so short that their fingers are in line with their crotch. A normal person usually has their wrist line fall right below the crotch line.

I realize we are discussing a 2D cartoon character, but even Brock, who is drawn comically chiseled, still has human proportions. If you've ever read Matt Jenkins' blog or seen posts by any of the other illustrators on the show, you know how important scale and proportion are when it comes to doing character models.

I think the only thing that's totally spot on is Brock's hair though. Check the profile, http://www.megomuseum.com/remego/bbp/toyfair/brock2.jpg
