Here’s a glimpse at the FINAL SCULPT of Muttpop’s Tequila figure and the FIRST GLIMPSE at his poncho!
Prior to beginning the construction of the Poncho, Monster 5 cleaned up his Tequila Sculpt. He added some nice subtle details to the body like nipples and a belly button. Since the Poncho will rest over Tequila’s body, Tequila needed to be in his final sculpted form to accurately represent how the Poncho will look on him.
There were two ways Monster5 and Muttpop could have approached the Poncho: cloth or vinyl. With cloth, it is a LOT easier to capture the flowing nature of a Poncho. With vinyl, the sculptor has more freedom to develop a style that best suits the styling of his original figure sculpt…but vinyl is also way easier to screw up.
With their complete faith in Monster5’s sculpting ability, Muttpop HAD to go with a vinyl poncho! Here are the first photos of the original Poncho sculpt.
I am so glad, they decided to go with the vinyl poncho…although I now have a dilemma. Should I leave the poncho on him or do I leave it off, exposing his massive abs????This is going to be one hell of a toy!! Check back next week to see how Tequila looks wearing the initial Poncho design!
some people have the best jobs…
looking better than ever, keep this up!
is this series going to culminate in us being able to purchase him or will we be forced to wait for him to hit the market?!?!
Loving the poncho guys! 😀
Only thing, the cactus on the back looks scared, maybe make him look mean to match the face of Tequila? Just a thought ^_^
I’m glad you chose vinyl aswell, at first I thought cloth would be best but looking at it, definetly vinyl!
What’s next? Will we see colour soon? 😀
Awesome. I want this figure right now. Release Tequila now!
Thanks for the compliments folks.
BUGULA:
The goal is to have a new weekly update up until Tequila’s emminent release in Late November/Early December.
Vinyl Pulse doesn’t want to compete with the many wonderful stores that carry Designer Toys…but, with Vinyl Pulse’s approval, I’ll be sure to inform you on this website of WHICH stores will carry Tequila.
OKKLE:
We still have PLENTY to show you guys. There’s the different color ways, box design, wax molds, castings…although the sculpture is the HEART of the toy production, there’s still plenty of other stages that lead up to the unveiling of the toy on store shelves.
As we’ve done with the toy sculpt, we hope to pull back the curtain and give you a little taste of all that goes into the production of Tequila.
sheesh! the previous stages have clearly shown that you have skills when it comes to sculpting… but i’ve got to admit, I had my doubts about whether or not you could pull of a sculpt of the poncho… BUT! it looks AMAZING! seriously good work! getting rather excited about this now 😀
how abt making the Poncho removeable? so we can both see the wonderful clothes and the muscles.
Will – it is removable 🙂
This is f[king cool ! Who is maker? what is sculptor profile?
Buena suerte !
Lalo.
