Here's the first official glimpse at Oban Star Racer Molly Black Bean!

As previewed on VinylPulse, here's the latest peak at Molly Original. This color test is a fully painted rotocast vinyl prototype based on our original Pantone breakdown. Upon receiving the Color Test we've realized that we need to tweak some colors on Molly's hair, shirt and shoes...but it's super close to what the final version of Molly Original will look like.

We just got color tests of the Oban Star Racer Molly figure. Overall, the results surpassed our expectations. Every version of Molly looks gorgeous!

We're not going to reveal EVERYTHING just yet... but to begin, here's a first look at Molly Extra Spicy Glow. There are two "Extra Spicy" versions of Molly. This one just happens to also Glow. :-)

We just got photos of the first run of Vinyl Prototypes in their initial painted form from the factory. We are very happy with the results... but there are still some minor tweaks we want done before we officially reveal the various colors in public. Since we love our fans, we still wanted to show you guys something. Is this good enough?

Here are the first pics we've received from our factory of the Molly Vinyl Prototype. This version of the figure is made from the Master Mold to get a sense of how the original sculpt transferred over to the silicone molding process.

I'm guessing a bit here, because my contact in China did not give me any details...but I believe the maroon legs are still done in wax. I requested that the Muttpop logo be engraved in the bottom of the right foot...so they haven't made a new silicone mold with this correction.

Also, I requested that they give Molly's head a ball joint (similar to Red Demon) to ensure that the figure has maximum head poseability.Thus far, I'm pretty happy with how Molly is turning out.

Jerry just put the final touches on the box design which is amazing (I love ALL of Jerry's box designs). We were initially bummed because we thought we had to follow the Oban Star Racer product guidelines for the box...but after submitting our rough, the President of Sav! The World said that we should unleash that Muttpop magic on a revised design. We did and the final box is sharp and snazzy.

We'll share that with you later!
