We're still a ways away from production... but here's a glimpse at what we slipped into Lucha Libre #5.

Here's a bigger glimpse at the tease we did with VinylPulse.

I have the prototypes in my grubby hands as I type this and, damn this lil' guys are sexy! I'm really happy with how they turned out. I'm super proud we how these guys are turning out. If you go to San Diego Comicon, I DEMAND you check these protos out at the DKE Toys booth and tell us what you think.

We just got word that all versions of Red Demon have been sold out by our Distributor. That means whatever Red Demons are out there are the last ones left for sale. Red Demon's earned his place next to Tequila in the Muttpop Hall of Fame. It was good to know you, buddy!

Aaaah. Now we're getting somewhere! At this stage, you can feel life being brought back to the sculpt. The arms and neck are lengthened to emphasize her mixture of femininity and youth. The pose has been softened. Her butt and hips are given more shape and volume. Molly's finally beginning to look like a beautiful living and breathing young woman! Now we have to really work on that hair...

At this stage of Molly's sculpt, Lester and Erick really cleaned her up by transferring their sculpting from Sculpey to Wax and refining all the details through melting and shaping the wax. Wax is great for making things super clean and tight. But there's always a loss in crucial nuances when transferring the sculpt from Sculpey to Wax.

When going from Sculpey to Wax a silicon mold is made to capture the shape of the sculpey form. Once that cools down, liquid wax is poured into the silicone mold and, once it cools and hardens you have a wax recreation of the original sculpey figure. Unfortunately when making the silicone molds, you see anywhere from a 3-5% shrinkage in the shape of the figure... and depending on how the silicone reacts to cooling down, the finer details of the figure and subtle shapes are lost.

We were very disappointed with how the figure looked at this stage. The figure looks very stiff and blocky. The face looked like a puppet instead of a living, breathing being. The posture came across as clunky and stiff (especially from the front). The wrinkles at the knees had a very unnatural sharp edge. The gloves looked super heavy. Even at this stage there were a lot of things to address.

Check back next Tuesday to see how the Sosa Bros. tackled the various problems.

As Lester and Erick Sosa continued sculpting Molly, we felt things were going in the wrong direction. In the earlier stages of sculpting there was an energy and dynamic nature to Molly that was lacking at this stage. The head and hands became unnecessarily large. The arms looked okay from a profile perspective but too thick from the front. Molly's chest began looking like a breast implant job gone wrong. All of these issues were addressed to the Sosa brothers and Muttpop was assured that the appropriate changes would be made to address them.
