We showed you Ulric’s compatibility and even our giants work with other lines

And if anyone wanted to see two of our Giants in the ring (using our Green GiTD roped ring)

Something to keep in mind, M.U.S.C.L.E. figures are a tad smaller than my toys, so Goliath won’t be AS big in comparison to the other toys in this line. He is still taller (Ulric is 2″ and Goliath is a tad over 2.2″)

These are the first 6 characters we will be releasing this year, each time a sculpt is complete the shadow will be replaced with the actual figure.

Can you guess who we have planned?

This character was originally scheduled to be in the 2014 roster, Talos is the best friend of Ulric. Named after the Giant who Zeus tasked with protecting Europa on the island of Crete, Talos is a fierce competitor who values Ulric’s life above his own.

We will reveal a few more 2014 characters over the next few months

Just got notified that the Prototypes for Goliath, Ulric 2.0 and the yet to be revealed Widowmaker will arrive sometime next week!

The reception to this whole thing has been great, and we are having a lot of fun. So we have decided to expand the 2013 Roster to have characters originally planned for 2014. The first character from this will be revealed in the next week.

We have tentatively also added a Pay Per View event boxed set in the summer, which means provided things go as planned we will have a release every 2-3 months.

It was close but with over 70 votes cast the winning color is Yellow

The vote breakdown was Yellow with 29%, Blue with 25% and Standard Black with 24%

So with that said we will proceed to get the rings done in yellow in the Spring and will select a Glow in the Dark rope combination that compliments that. Our 2nd release will be Blue, and our 3rd release will be Black.

If for some reason we are not satisfied with how the yellow dye job turns out we will switch to the traditional/standard black for the release and continue working on future colors jobs

This was originally meant to come much later, but our incredibly talented sculptor Simon Grell was able to fit it in his busy schedule and it is currently being produced with the Prototype in our hands by months end.

The final figure will be revealed in March and on display at C2E2 for anyone to check out. He is one our favorite designs and his pose has some very nostalgic ties to M.U.S.C.L.E.

Some people have noticed that Ulric’s pose has changed since the first render and prototype. This was done to make production easier, as the extended hand gave the large potential for some QC issues down the road. We also had the kneepads refined so that the design on them really pops in the 2″ scale.

The new sculpt opens up some neat alternatives though, it does allow for a headlock or bulldog type of display if the opponents head is small enough. Nothing was changed on the opposing arm so suplex and bodyslam poses should function (again depending on the size of the opponent).

This is not to say the previous version won’t get made, Ulric is the AWF Heavyweight Champion and the focal point of main player in our story. Ulric 1.0 may be a blind bagged variant, he may be given free to those who actually attend the cons, or he might be in a future wave.

We also intend to have variations of every character based on their sales, reception, and what we think we can do with them.

This is the first promo sheet for the upcoming debut boxed set, it shows a sense of scale between the two figures. It also reveals the logo for the pay per view.

You will notice that Ulric had a change made since the prototype, this will be addressed in upcoming days. During prototyping we find that some things work better then others.
