I rarely get excited about miniatures like about this one. Skyline just totally doesn't make sense. It's a power creep. Not only does he sport the biggest cape in Pulp City as of yet, he puts to shame Twilight's kindergarten gargoyle and Red's computer.
I love him.
But what I love about him even more is to see ideas of people who genuinely enjoy Pulp City come to life!
It started with the idea of Kurt White, winner of SG2, then excellent concept from Kamil Ukanis, then very true to that concept sculpt of James van Schaik and Nomic's vibrant colors. As soon as I got my metal cast (and GenCon is over) I am starting to strike terror in all villain's hearts.
Watch the skyline!

He's awesome! He looks pretty big, with the base and the cape!

Rotfl, it looks weird, if you paint it in green and red colours, it'll look similar to Batman's fellow, Robin :lol:

You think? Maybe I'm more tolerant of the varying look of Super-Heroe's/Supremes because of my love of the Golden Age of Comics - but I think it looks amazing.

In so far as he is carrying a Staff of some-kind maybe, if you painted him Green and Red he would remind me more of -

The more modern Version of Doctor Mid-Nite (the cloak should be green really)

Beauty of associations is that everybody can associate everything with anything.
I would probably even say he looks more like Batman than Robin, but hey, if it works for you... 8)

Folks can call me biased if they want, but I think he looks fantastic - whilst I can see elements of other Heroes in him his look is pretty damn cool!

I didn't say he doesn't - I just said, that he looks weird, because he doesn't look anyhow like any of the models from Pulp City ;) I kinda like him, he's got this... something

Wow what an incredible miniature. :shock:
First off all I only looked forward for Jade Hawk, because I realy like her concept art (and it was one reason to start with Pulp City).
Now I am looking forward for both miniatures, because they just look awesome.
I know why I started collecting Pulp City figures.
Will the gargoyle be an extra part of the miniature? Because imo you could use him as a terrainpart. Just 2 or 4 at a top of a house.

By the way, hello to everyone. :mrgreen:

There is no single unifying "look" to any of the Pulp City Range (except for perhaps the Ulthar and I am only assuming), thats one of its strengths.

Skyline fits in with the "Spandex" Crew - Solar, Nuclear Jones, & Trail (at a pinch) so we NEED more Spandex-Wearing Heroes!

I totally agree.
Moreover some lvl 1 "Spandex" heroes and maybe in the future a lvl 3 "Spandex" heroe, so that you can field a full "Spendex" force? :wink:

welocome to the town!

I was expecting more of a slim runner/speedster of sorts in his look. I love this model though!

Excellent miniature. I liked the concept art... but no offense, this just blows that out of the water!
