First Look: Moko Sculpt
Vinyl Pulse has an exclusive look at Moko from the upcoming Tcho! Mini-Figure line. The entire line has really come together during the last few round of sculpts. Moko is definitely one of our favorites (actually, all the sculpts are amazing!)...which is fitting since Moko comes from Ohm's Bao Battle comic and Ohm also happens to be the designer of the entire figure line.
At first we were haven't a bit of difficulty getting the right shape for the mask. The sculptors, Lester and Erick Sosa, were impeded by the idea that the mask should be a separate piece from the head. It was a nice idea, but the result was the mask felt far too detached and detracted from the overall shape of the figure. Once we decided to sculpt the mask as part of the head, the sculpting process was a very smooth one.
A small addition that made a world of difference was making the eyes raised. Originally we were going for just an outline of the eye. But, based on the wonderful suggestion by Ohm, we decided to create a raised relief for facial details on all the figures. It was a brilliant suggestion that made all the figures that much better.
