Maybe the designers just got so used to wearing masks themselves these last few years

You mean like Care Bear Scape? That is what I’m really waiting for..!

Handle origin: I used to film comedy skits with my friends. I didn't want any cursing in them, so I made up new insults, like "dendrik". Then Sir Denrick came out, and the rest is history.

Not exactly Care Bears, but hopefully this is close enough?

So yes tom, I think it's not a stretch to predict an Onmitsu squad, and perhaps a certain type of bonding to their new master here ?

=> The Akuma is an evil spirit in Japanese folklore.
Thanks for that onmitsu info.

I really don’t think this is a squad. If it is, it’s a squad of three human figures that look exactly the same just in different poses. That isn’t unusual for commons but it would be unusual for a unique squad, especially in the martial arts vein like the samurai & ninjas. The armor appears to be exactly the same, the weapons, the face mask, the hair, the gender - all are exactly the same in all three poses.

I think it’s a hero where they just wanted to give the sculptor a real good idea of what the flow and feel might be for this figure, to give them some options to choose what type of scuplt might be best suited for the figure, to convey that they have flexibility in what they want from the sculpt.

A must read for all 'Scapers!

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

There are other unique heroes who have multiple poses in the concept art they've already posted. See the unique marro pirate and Bonny, for example. On the other hand, it looks like they're drawn with multiple figures posing together (especially the sketch in the upper left), unlike the separate A/B/C poses of the earlier examples.

I'm kind of wondering if this is maybe a unique hero with some sort of duplication power? Not sure how that would work mechanically, but it's the vibe I'm getting from the art.

I could be wrong but that seems like a daunting, overly complicated way to move forward with new Heroscape.

C3V stuff is awesome; I have some of it in my collection, but it is still custom work, no matter how polished or how many accolades it receives.

We are lucky to have them making it backwards compatible and balanced with official scape. They could have made the decision to start completely fresh.


I don't really get why it can't be made compatible with current C3V/SoV. For the future one I understand the problem.
The only "custom" part is they are not available for everyone easily. But it's the same with old scape while they are not re-edited.
And I don't think there is something which prevent them to decide if they re edit old scape to edit C3V/SoV figure in an official way
