[Grumpy]

Holy Poop!

[daveyyojimbo]

That totally... :rock:

[daveyyojimbo]

A definite must have!!! Tha mo' Kirby, tha better!!! :rock:

[Grumpy]

Just took a closer look and his teeth look too straight. I'm not overly knowledgeable of the character but in most of the pictures I've seen of him his teeth are nowhere near being so dentally perfect. Even the picture behind the bust shows the teeth all messed up. Not meant to be a criticism, just an observation.

[agent of weapon x]

OMG, that's awesome!

[agent of weapon x]

Will this be the biggest mb we've seen?

[daveyyojimbo]

Will this be the biggest mb we've seen?

Looks like it but I bet Devil Dinosaur and Moonboy will be bigger.

[Tony Coca]

im not sure but i think he is in scale with dragonman.

[agent of weapon x]

Those teeth look pretty jacked up to me.

[daveyyojimbo]

im not sure but i think he is in scale with dragonman.

Oh yeah.. how could I forget.. I agree.

[Helder M.]

LOL Trust me those teeth are very messed up :cool:

[agent of weapon x]

You knocked this one outta the ballpark, dude! Awesome, awesome job. :thumb:

[spy-d]

That looks great! Who is this guy? The responses said he's from Thor...can anybody educate me more on this character? Thanx in advance!

[Nitefall]

I don't usually buy busts. (Only have eight) Buuuuut. This looks like another definite exception. Plus Frog of thunder -- oh oh

[agent of weapon x]

Mangog, or "The Mangog" as it originally referred to itself, is the sum total of the hatred of a billion billion beings that were once killed by the ruler of Asgard and the Norse Gods, Odin. Imprisoned deep beneath Asgard, Mangog is accidentally freed by the Rock Troll Ulik, and goes on to wage war against Odin and the other Norse Gods on several occasions. Mangog proves to be physically unstoppable, and is usually only defeated by exploiting Mangog's dependence on psychic energies (such as hatred, fear, or feelings of devotion) felt by other sentient beings to sustain itself. Without such a source, Mangog shrinks to near nothingness.

While usually acting independently, Mangog also assists the Titan Thanos in a quest for universal domination, but is ultimately stopped by the Thunder God Thor. Thor eventually ends the threat of Mangog entirely: having inherited the Odin Force, Thor simply dissolves an attacking Mangog with a wave of his hand. Mangog, like all the Asgardian monsters, has not been seen since the destruction of Asgard.

All I did was a little cut and paste.

[Helder M.]

Thank you guys glad you like it , I really had a great time sculpting him , I like monsters too !!

[agent of weapon x]

Thank you guys glad you like it , I really had a great time sculpting him , I like monsters too !!

Great job Helder.

[Tony Coca]

Thank you guys glad you like it , I really had a great time sculpting him , I like monsters too !!


Holy Crap you did that Helder.Kick ass.

[rilynil]

Good gracious that's GOOD! I'm not even a fan but this big ol' thang will be mine!!!!
Go, Helder, go!!!!!!!

[sambofred]

I am very happy :)

[rychehitman]

INCREDIBLE!


Love the base!

[rome]

I have to say that Mangog was one of my dream pieces that I never thought would see the light of day. I so wanted a Mangog FS or mb to be immortalized by BD.
Helder, and rb you 've made my dream come true. This is awesome.
can we get a frontal pic please?
Thanks from the bottom of this fans' heart for this fine piece.

[Helder M.]

actually the piece was designed by the man himself Randy Bowen !


INCREDIBLE!


Love the base!

[sambofred]

It is a very nice bust Helder. Very nice.
So, when can I get mine signed? :lol:

[ca35]

That's big mother efer ! :whirlwin:

[SD Rum]

I want one!!

[1Logan]

Looking at him makes me want to listen to Death Metal!

[batman1180]

This is unbelievably cool!

[Grumpy]

Will this be the biggest mb we've seen?

The Watcher and Galactus were pretty big.

[Grumpy]

Helder! You did a fantastic job! I will definately be picking one of these up. Please forgive me, but have you done other work for Bowen that I can't place your name on? What's other work have you done? Do you have a website I can visit?

[Helder M.]

Grumpy

thanks for kind of comments ! The other piece I have done was the Machine Man MB . My new web site will be done in soon , I will post it here .

[TheMadTitan]

By the great Helder!:

http://i31.tinypic.com/i5oy86.jpg

NICEEE and BIG!!! Classic Kirby style rulez

[Makkari1]

Great work Helder I'll be getting this for sure.:D

[Moore_000]

Very nice sculpt!

[twisterred]

crazy good!

[bobilero]

http://i31.tinypic.com/i5oy86.jpg
The question is : How big?? I see it's bigger then destroyer but how bigs is destroyer mb ? Can anyone put a comparison shot of Destroyer bust near to a FullSize like Hulk, Thanos ,Juggi or othen big statue?(Front shots will help better)just to calculate the size of Mangog.
Thank you guys!! :rock:

[CromVABeach]

That is one big, ugly bastard! Nice job, Helder.

[scottman]

That's a big bad boy there. Great job Helder.:thumb:

[Grumpy]

Grumpy

thanks for kind of comments ! The other piece I have done was the Machine Man MB . My new web site will be done in soon , I will post it here .

Well, both of these pieces are on my "gotta purchase these" list. Your works will be proudly displayed alongside my Avengers (Machine Man) and Thor (Mangog) busts and statues!

[Cool-Breeze]

Looks great!!!

[pmpknface]

Holy crap! That is killer! Paint it up!

[ebay_hunter]

that's a huge bust!

[HeirtoAsguard]

that is one huge piece!! the only other piece that comes to my mind that is this size is Dragon Man. we all know that Galactus and Watcher isn't in scale. wow, can you imagine if BD did Surtur/Ymir?!!

[SFDaredevil]

is this going to be bigger than Fin Fang foom?

[Randy Bowen]

Here's the sketch that's shown in the background:

http://i30.tinypic.com/52na6b.jpg

[SD Rum]

Great sketch...I love how the base looks!!

[HoldyourfireAl]

WOW! I wish I was familiar with this character. He looks great. Of course Helder being awesome doesn't hurt!

[caniac78]

WOW that is one big bust. that's like dolly parton bust size

[HeirtoAsguard]

is this going to be bigger than Fin Fang foom?


thanks, I forgot FFF. but he's along with Galactus and Watcher in size.

[Armitage]

I love this, but it's gonna take alot of rearranging to fit him in somewhere.8-)

[Googam]

Damn! I miss coming here for a day and look what I miss! Great work, Helder! :rock:

Now you see how cool this guy is, imagine how cool a whole slew of Kirby Monster MBs would look!!!!

:foom:

[rome]

By the great Helder!:

http://i31.tinypic.com/i5oy86.jpg

I have to once again say how awesome this is turning out to be.
I am blown away.

I do however realize what bothers me slightly about this. I can't quite see it because of the angle of the pics,...but the lips,...
It seems like the upper lip is a bit on the small side and takes the shape of a human lip. (like an M) Whereas the pics of Kriby's art clearly shows that his mouth is wider,..goes all the way across the face, and certainly does not take the M shape of a human lip.

Helder,..randy, any thoughts on this?

[Danno]

WHOA-MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This kicks more A$$ than a 12 legged ninja in a barfight. Beautiful work Helder, this rocks!

[Helder M.]

Hi Danno , glad you like it !!!


WHOA-MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This kicks more A$$ than a 12 legged ninja in a barfight. Beautiful work Helder, this rocks!

[Professor Oreo]

Really clean and crisp work man! It's excellent! Congrats!

[Grumpy]

WHOA-MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This kicks more A$$ than a 12 legged ninja in a barfight. Beautiful work Helder, this rocks!

"12 legged ninja in a barfight"! LMAO! I'm gonna have to use this one. Thanks for the laugh Danno!

[sambofred]

"12 legged ninja in a barfight"! LMAO! I'm gonna have to use this one. Thanks for the laugh Danno!

Agreed. Thats a new one for me as well. :lol:

[rome]

is it too late to make changes to this? I'd hate to beat a point to death if it was. (talking about the way the upper lip is shaped)

[Meteor Man]

Waaaaawesome job Helder!!!

[tigertank1225]

Man Helder you hit the ball way out of the park. This MB is just unbelievable. This will be mine. Heck i might get two of these.:rock:

[Achiever]

This kicks more ass than Chuck Norris! Phase 4 is truly the phase of Asgard.

Helder, you rock! Between the Machine Man and now this, you're becoming one of my favorite sculptors. Keep it up!

[Makkari1]

Damn shame this couldn't be a fs.:frustrat:

[rome]

Well Look, Please, I'm not trying to be a pain here. This Bust is absolutely fantastic. I"ve wanted a Mangog bust or FS really, really badly and this blows me away.

However,...I just think that for a piece this great it deserves to be accurate.
I can't really see it from the pic but it looks like the lips on the bust are wrong. From classic Kirby (which is what really counts)
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m207/rome_011/155-18.jpg
to modern depictions,
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m207/rome_011/21-1.jpg
..Mangog's mouth has no shape to it.
his upper lip is flat across his face ( I'm looking at my latest rb Hulk mb and he has the same kind of mouth).
I'm not explaining what I mean very well. I just feel that the shape of the lips isn't accurate. It's to narrow at the top...... it detracts from him just a bit.
http://i31.tinypic.com/i5oy86.jpg[/
Ok I think I got a way to explain better. do you see how the bridge of the lips in the bust is about the same width as the nose? well compare that to the drawing and you will see that a) there is no such bridge, and b) his upper lip is much wider than his nose.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
can it be fixed?

Any updates on this beast?

[spy-d]

Anybody notice the trend in the size of the MB's being sneaked? They are huge...I'm assuming the price tag will be too...long gone are the days of the 39.00 MB...

K.

[Hypersom]

Awesome job Helder!! I wouldn't change a thing. You are an amazing artist sir.

[scottman]

I love this, but it's gonna take alot of rearranging to fit him in somewhere.8-)
That crossed my mind.

[tigertank1225]

This is so cool, I am going to get two.:)

[ca35]

The bust looks great the way it is !

[Makkari1]

K.

Mangog is a very large character. Now that Randy is doing a bit more obscure characters some of whom are very large, you will see more and more of this.

[Makkari1]

Now that Machine Man is painted we should be seeing mangog painted up very soon. (I hope)

[Makkari1]

Any painted updates?

YEAH,...but come on............isn't an "F"-amazing sculpt like this worth and extra $10-20 American dollars???!!!!!!!!!?????!!!!!!!

And if BD didn't do it...do ya think we'd ever see a company releaze this????

Plus...if this size wasn't the size it is currently...there would be a BIG B!TCH session about the wrong size!!

KUDOS to BD for doing an AWESOME job!!!!

This is the complaint that I have with the Galactus mini mini that Bowen released. FS Colossus is also way off.

Appreciate your perspective...I agree that scale is extremely important. However, not sure if you got the point I was trying to make. The trend seems to be in making large characters recently...thus larger characters will be attached w/ a larger price tag. With all the large characters, there's a chance it could establish a new price standard. What I'm afraid of, and based purely off speculation, that even when smaller characters are made, they will be still at the new higher price as established by the recent sneaked big MBs. So unless everybody here is rolling in the dough, I was wondering who else here is concerned about new price standards that may be set as a result of the large MBs...

[Beast!]

GAWD, that thing looks awesome...!

[Randy Bowen]

Do you guys think 500 is too low of a run on this piece?

[HeirtoAsguard]

500?? make it 750.

[1Logan]

Make it a thousand, I want it but gotta get it later, can't afford right now!

[Armitage]

Do you guys think 500 is too low of a run on this piece?

750 sounds more promising.
As long as I get one you can make 3 for all I care.:)

[Beast!]

Do you guys think 500 is too low of a run on this piece?
I understand not wanting to go too high on the run - as great a character as he is, he's a bit obscure to the average Marvel fan. But it looks SO amazing, I doubt you'd have a problem selling 750-1000.

[Achiever]

500 is too low. I think 1000 minimum. You won't have a problem selling them, it looks so amazing.

[Hypersom]

At least 750. People are gonna buy this on looks alone, whether they've ever heard of the character or not. Its just that good a sculpt.

[HoldyourfireAl]

No. I think that's a smart decision. As awesome as he looks, I don't know him, so I won't be ordering. I think there's a very small market for this one. Limit it to 500 & make it a collector's piece!

[HoldyourfireAl]

Just remember... Thor is a "darling" now, but his back issues rot in the bin with Conan. It's good business to limit it. People who want it will get it & those who see it will probably want it. Let the market drive the price on this very limited collectible.

[agent of weapon x]

500 sounds good to me.

[CromVABeach]

I think 750 would be a better number. 500 will be gone in a week, just for the scarcity, regardless of the character.

[ca35]

Unkown character to the "general public" + size + price = 500 edition size.

[rychehitman]

Do you guys think 500 is too low of a run on this piece?



500 is a little on the low side....how about 600

[le Gardien]

Depends price !! Depends if you want to make a must have ?
If the piece have a good distbribution in the world 800 could be a good idea for us international buyers

[MaxGoof]

500 is too low. The run should be at least 700.

[BobbyW]

Do you guys think 500 is too low of a run on this piece?

Not at all! You can even go lower....of course, I hope I get one :lol:

[twisterred]

750

[chaline2k4]

I would think unless this is a LE CC then it'll be a big issue simply judging from the hits on this thread...appears to be a lot of interest...I'm not familiar with the character even but buying this one for sure...definitely a collectible piece.

[dEnny!]

Do you guys think 500 is too low of a run on this piece?

As long as I get one. :D Do you think you'd have more orders than that for this character? Doop was only 500. You are usually pretty accurate on edition sizes.

[rilynil]

Do you guys think 500 is too low of a run on this piece?
I think 500 would sell out very, very quickly, probably too quickly. I think 1,000 would be a better run.

[dEnny!]

I think 500 would sell out very, very quickly, probably too quickly. I think 1,000 would be a better run.

That's way too many for this lame character. :p

I say make it a little more collectible and keep the numbers low. 500-750 at most.

[Makkari1]

Do you guys think 500 is too low of a run on this piece?

500 is perfect, This will sellout especially among us Thor fans.

[Makkari1]

I think 750 would be a better number. 500 will be gone in a week, just for the scarcity, regardless of the character.

A week? you mean a few days.

[rilynil]

That's way too many for this lame character. :p

I say make it a little more collectible and keep the numbers low. 500-750 at most.

Strength of sculpt is what's going to power sales of this character. I don't think I've ever read a comic with Mangog in it, but I'm buying this bust. I believe there will be many, many people like me who will buy this monster.

500 will sell out quickly because of how great the sculpt is, PLUS because of the people who will buy it ONLY because it's a small run. Why would Randy not want to make money for himself? Why leave money on the table for the secondary market flippers? Also, isn't it more costly to make smaller runs?

[Makkari1]

That's way too many for this lame character. :p

I say make it a little more collectible and keep the numbers low. 500-750 at most.

Lame? Surely you jest.

[MKS]

750 seems right. It will sell out, but not be a PITA to order/get.

[bobilero]

Come on Randy show it! show it! :twisted:

[pmpknface]

Anything less that 1000 and this one will be HTF.

Do we know what the cost on this guy is yet?

[dEnny!]

Lame? Surely you jest.

Not really. It's funny because I own some of the issues he appears in and don't remember him.


^ Thor #154 (Jul. 1968 )
^ Thor #155 - 157 (Aug. - Oct. 1968 )
^ Thor #195 - 198 (Jan. - Apr. 1972)
^ Thor #242 (Dec. 1975); 244 (Feb. 1975) 246 - 250 (Apr. - Aug. 1976)
^ Thor #20 - 25 (Feb. - Jul. 2000)
^ Thor vol. 2, #84 (Nov. 2004)
^ Thor vol. 2, #85 (Dec. 2004)
^ Marvel Fanfare #51 (Jun. 1982)

[dEnny!]

Anything less that 1000 and this one will be HTF.

Do we know what the cost on this guy is yet?

Hard to find isn't always a bad thing though; Bowen needs those boosts to remind people why they continue to preorder and buy them.

[tigertank1225]

I was hoping to get two of these. 500 would probable mean one per person. But i do like the low edition size.

Hey RB can you make it 600, so i can two.:ecstatic:

[Makkari1]

Not really. It's funny because I own some of the issues he appears in and don't remember him.

Shame on you dEnny go back and do your homework.

[Makkari1]

Make 501 just for you.

[Makkari1]

Should this piece be a Club Exclusive?

[dEnny!]

Shame on you dEnny go back and do your homework.

I'm more a Spider-Man/Daredevil kind of guy. BRING ON THE BAD GUYS!

I was watching Spider-Man 2 today with my son and I'm thinking...where's the Doc Ock full size statue??? He's much more deserving than others I've heard requested or even Black Knight if you ask me.

[dEnny!]

Should this piece be a Club Exclusive?

No, I wouldn't think so. You just want to make sure you have a better shot at getting one if it is limited to 500...I know your game. ;)

[gottohaveitall68]

Do you guys think 500 is too low of a run on this piece?

a good number :blah:

[bobilero]

Randy already confirmed Doc Octopus for this phase , and some other Spidey foes as Electro,Kraven,Sandman...and maybe Vulture too, Hobgoblin would be a dream :surrend:

A part of me would like it if he sculpted them in a way where you can set them up as if they are appearing to attack Spidey.

Does the extra 100 make a difference? :D

No not really no.

THis piece rocks..........not really familiar with the character, but I love the sculpt. THis one will be a buy for me.

[Makkari1]

THis piece rocks..........not really familiar with the character, but I love the sculpt. THis one will be a buy for me.

It's amazing that we are getting this for completely two different reasons. You are buying on the power of the sculpt while I'm buying more about the character but you must admit this is an amazing piece.

[Achiever]

I've been askin the same thing for YEARS!!!! Doc Ock is litterally the ONLY FS that I want. I mean, really REALLY want. Almost to the point of unhealthy need.

OK its been March since the last thing we saw on Mangog. Are there any new updates?

[Helder M.]

I can not wait to see it in colors and the Titanium Man as well !!!

[darklordrandy]

he will look nice on my thor shelf.

[CaptainHardwood]

Randy,

Now that some (most??) of us have received the Iron Man Hulkbuster (for those that ordered) and can batter appreciate exactly how big that bust is . . . any chance of seeing Mangog WIP next to IM HB or perhaps Dragon Man????

Anxious to add this one to the collection . . . just trying to figure out how many more shelves I'll need (especially considering the size of some of the recent and upcoming busts).

Thanks . . . .

[rome]

HB Iron man is HUGE, and from what I remember Mangog mb is supposed to be bigger.
I cannot wait for this bad boy (though I do hope the mouth was changed).
Please show us some updated sneaks.

If the mb turns out to be a success I wonder if Randy would consider doing a fs Mangog at about 20" high? Just a thought.:D

[bobilero]

That would be awesome , but only can happen on next phase , this one is totally covered , but....if Phase 5 exist maybe we can see some Thor enemies to complete the asgardians in FS as Mangog and Ulik (Ulik will be busted this phase i belive)....even Desak ?:rock:

Now Desak would be a great sculpt. :D

[Helder M.]

Who is Desak ? Have a picture ?

[bobilero]

Who is Desak ? Have a picture ?

Of course! Desak is a "killer of gods" he fought against Thor and Destroyer ,he's really a hard to kick ass :rock:
Also a nice visual character.

http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08242/desak2968.jpg (http://xs.to)

[MaxGoof]

I would like to see a scale-comparison shot of Hulkbuster Iron Man with Mangog. I don't know how likely that is, but I'd like it anyway... ;)

[Makkari1]

Who is Desak ? Have a picture ?

Desak is a god killer created by the future self of Thor girl or the better known as the Designate. He could absorb god energy thus making him almost impossible to defeat. Here is a few pics of him in action getting beat by the Destroyer.

That is awesome he seems to be smaller than Destroyer is that right ? Also can you please post more pics of The Destroyer ( John Romita Jr preferred ) I need to see how those spikes are connected like from his torso to the legs !!

Thank you ,

Helder

[rome]

If the mb turns out to be a success I wonder if Randy would consider doing a fs Mangog at about 20" high? Just a thought.:D

i would think there would be hope for that to happen. it seems like bd collectors like massive statues,...(hence Wendigo) and it doesn't get more massive than MANGOG.
it think the mb bust will really create more of a demand for this character.
Once people see it they will want it.
helder did such a great job.

Randy PLEASE show us some sneaks...

Thank you ,

Helder

Most heroes and villians are smaller than the Destroyer. I'll try and find some pics of Romita but IMO the best rendition is Walt Simonson.

Yes , he's smaller (Desak), as i read he's something between 6'6" and 6'8".

so are you working on a FS Destroyer?

[Helder M.]

just wanted to see some pics and liked the other character design that is all !

I just wanted to ask How is that Randy knows who MANGOG is but not who the starting lineup of the NEW MUTANTS are or who MAJIK is.

I mean MANGOG was created after the year 2000

the new mutants were a late 80's creation.

I always thought Randy was a classic guy, but he's more modern then he realizes

Your wrong there bud. Mangog's first app. was in the 60's. Waaaay before the NM.

[caniac78]

wow, I thought his first apperance was in the THOR run after heroes return. But I don't know my ancient THOR stories. I was more of Simonson Era jump on

If you take a look at first page of this thread , on the photos you will see the reference art used , do you think this is 2000 style??:)

[moonknightvt]

Can't wait to see the painted sneak. This one promises to be impressive.

The sixties are not ancient history, I remember them well.:D

[caniac78]

you may remember them, but it's a little fuzzy and perhaps hazy ;)

I'd like to see it in relation to the Hulkbuster MB to get a better idea of the size.

[Makkari1]

Ditto.

[Helder M.]

Well, I tried to take a picture of my Hulkbuster on the same angle of Mangog MB picture, I think (in my opinion) they are pretty much the same size, except the Mangog's base is bigger in diameter than Hulkbuster MB.

Awesome dude.:D

[ca35]

What are you still doing with it ? Send it off for painting already !

[chaline2k4]

Wow! Those are big MB's...thought this one would have been painted by now too...guess I'll have to wait a little longer..:sad:

[Makkari1]

Here are some quick Photoshop paint ups of Mangog. I assume that the real version will look 10 times better.

I don't think he still has it. I think Helder's just doing some nice photo editing on some older pictures so you can get a better sense of his actual size. ;)

Again this is such a great piece Helder! Really kick-ass work man! :D

Agreed! This is definitely one of my favorite "Soon to
be Released" pieces (in addition to Walter's, of course).:D
