OH heck yes! TOYS! My one weakness!
I'm not going to go over the same things that have been said over the last 12 pages. I think those points have been made clear by the community and I have yet to decided what I do and don't agree with. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and tastes. I'll wait till i can see and touch them IRL to make my final decision.
But I will go into details about what I think about the figures. At first glance, without being able to have them in my hands and see what they can do, to me, they look alright. Do they look like the animated series characters? Yes. That's plain to see. Is that a bad thing? I don't think it is, and I would class myself as a 'true terrarian' (whatever that means). Other members think differently, and that's fine. I'm just glad that i'll be able to give Re-logic some more $$$ because i've been playing for nearly 2 years now and i've only spent $9.99 ($AUS).
Now to the figures.
So these will be the only figures available to start off the range? The first thing I noticed before anything else was that the guide is missing. THE GUIDE! I know we all hate on him for opening doors and what not, but he is undoubtably one of the 'faces' of Terraria. How could you show no guide love?
A point i will add to this is you have the Pirate. Not that i'm hating on pirates but that just seems a little 'typical' to me. Alot of games have pirates (and i suppose guide characters) but I just thought that was a bit odd to leave the Guide out.
Any ideas when the rest of the characters will be available? Also no female characters?
Out of these five I like the GT and WD the best. The gold player is okay as with the other two. Looking at these pics it looks like the accessories are a mix of flat sprites and 3d models. If it was me i'd go for the full 3d accessories. Like the chest with the Pirate. Is it just a flat picture or can you open it and put stuff in it? If it's just a flat sprite that would be lame, IMO. The packaging looks good. It's got that nice Terraria feel to it with the small wood house, doors and torches. I can't tell if the Terraria logo has been changed. It looks a bit different, dare I say it, more blocky.
On this big picture you can see the logo IS changed.
Really? Why can't you just use the original logo? Or even the one on this forum is better. So far i'm not liking the logo.
The eye and the slime look good from what I can tell. You could make extra $$$ with variations of the slimes as single figures.
I'd buy a few as long as they are squishy.
These next four aren't bad, out of them i'd say I like the zombie the most. If the first one is supposed to be a generic player (or i just thought, is THAT the guide?
) something about that mouth and eyes doesn't look right. All the eyes and mouths should be like the zombies, white on the outside with black or color on the inside and made of four squares. Also, it looks like the noses are just painted on. I'd suggest a single raised square (to represent a pixel of course). And as someone has said, Tim needs a cloak.
PLEASE don't make a figure exclusive to these world collector packs. I hate when that happens. The packs are a good idea so do them but it would be great if we could buy them all individually too!
Well that's enough for now. I'll be keeping my eyes out for these for sure.
Keep up the great work!!!
