Sawyer comes in a 2 pack with Juliet. They are available for pre-order now and are scheduled to ship in July 2011. Please consider placing a pre-order for these figures as a show of support for this line. Your credit card will not be charged until the figures actually ship.Update 3/15/11: BBP graciously allowed me to photograph their Wave 2 samples in person at my home. Sawyer's gun was not included in the package but will be in the final product.
Sawyer comes in a fantastic Dharma jumpsuit with LaFleur Head of Security printed (not stickers) on the pocket under the DI logo. He is wearing brown shoes and looks to have a green t-shirt under the jumpsuit. The detailing on the jumpsuit is superb.
The head sculpt is hit or miss as a likeness, overall I think it get the character across. I'm glad they didn't go for the glowering angry look on Sawyer.
Sawyer will come on the new swivel-biceps body which is better for posing with guns and will fill out the jumpsuit better!
Agreed that the rifle will be missed. I'm happy about the head sculpt, though. The prototype was a bit too Axel Rose for my liking. Though 'Welcome to the Jungle' is apropos, I suppose. And Axel is an anagram for Alex. And Rose is ... Rose. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteYeah, too bad about the rifle as that´s what he uses mostly in the Dharma times, but as long as we can get Sawyer and Juliet, I´m okay with that.
ReplyDeleteI´m still not so sure about the headsculpt, might be the angle of the pic though, but it doesn´t scream "Sawyer" to me just yet (I didn´t like the previous one very much, but I even think I can see Sawyer better on the previous headsculpt. But again, might be the angle the pic has been taken from).
By the way, I´d love to pre-order the figures from EE to show my support but their shipping cost to my country (Spain) is killer (so usually I get the figs from ebay or other stores with cheaper shipping costs). Wish they could find a way to get it down a bit :(
ReplyDeleteWell, these new pics really shut me up. I wasn't that big a fan of the facial sculpt for Sawyer at first. But seeing these pictures really proved me wrong. I am REALLY digging the head!
