Neca Best Action Figure Award

Best Action Figure Category

The award goes to Neca for their 89 Batman 7 inch figure in regular movie accurate color scheme.

Neca found a way to get this figure out on the market, from what I heard they could only do a classic video game 8 bit style colored version for the 7 inch regular release.

However Neca was able to get this out by packing it with the 89 Batman movie Blu-ray .First through the WB ebay store than via Toys r Us. Kudos to Neca for going above and beyond to get this item out.Right on time for Christmas to boot.Well done indeed.

Now on to the sculpt,to tell you the truth the sculpt is fantastic and I can't recall a 7 inch or so Batman movie figure looking this awesome.The packaging is another treat. Aesthetically a near perfect recreation of the vintage Toy Biz 89 toy packaging.I could go on and on ,but you get the point.

Well done Neca ,when it comes to creating awesome toys ,you are owning the compitition.And for getting this figure on the market you claim the award for Best action figure !

Kucharek Brothers

Kucharek Brothers Best comic book related statue Award

The votes are in the Kucharek Bothers Mojo statue takes the award for statue of the year.

We here at MSCN are HUGE Kucharek Brother fans .Maybe some of you have read our sculptors spotlight on the Mighty Kuchareks or seen some of the news tidbits we have blogged on the guys.I make no bones about it, we are big time fans and we could not be happier with the outcome in voting for statue of the year.

Now back to the statue,the Mojo sculpt was a sculpture the Kucharek Brothers did for fun,Randy Bowen of Bowen Designs posted a pic online and the fans demanded BD produce it and the rest is history as they say.

Now this is a traditional sculpture folks which means the amount of sculpting and fabrication work exhibited is astronomical,the Kuchareks are accomplished digital sculptors as well .It would have been much easier to go that route ,that's a fact. It is a testament to their craft they did this task traditionally.

This sculpt as Randy B has stated is the most complex statue in that companies history.The quality of sculpt and detail is impressive.The evil smile and animated pose captures your attention time and time again . We spoke with many fans during the voting process and the mutual admiration and respect for the Kucharek Brothers work was paramount in all of the conversations we had.

Well done yet again Kucharek Brothers and to paraphrase Wizard Magazine these guys are the ones to watch! Congratulations on STAUE OF THE YEAR!
