Mr. Hyde!
« on: 09 August 2008, 08:47:20 PM »
I've seen a few realy nice Hydes out there, but does anyone make one like the guy in the beginning of Van Helsing?

Also, has anyone seen a big burly female that could be used as a "Lady Hyde"  lol

Maybe one of the Heroclix Hulks with a repaint?

Westwind make a nice Mr Hyde in their Gothic Horror range. :)  Most of the other ones I Have seen are not as big as you are looking for.

Ive been thinking of sculpting that for a while. Might start that one tonight. Keep hassling me though as I have a lot on and if I am doing it to show someone else then it will give me a bit impetus to finish the job.

I'd rather see him standing, so he is taller and more menacing, but hey you are sculpting him... :)

Ok well mybe I was on the wrong track in my head.

Size wise the fellow Ive started ( just in armature) is BIG.

His knee ( bearing in mind he is crouched) is 2 cm off the ground, or up to the hips of a old night horrors mummy I have on my workbench.

AM I going smaller then as well as standing?>

Bearing in mind, I know the story says Hyde is small, the fellow is colossal in Van helsing, and League..

I think he should be huge as in the League (either the Graphic novel or film version) and in Van Helsing he was even bigger, perhaps too large for my taste.

I use the Westwind Hyde figure as part of my LXG. He is probably not big enough:


This guy is a nice size too, but could be taller:

Ok well, lets crack on then.

How about a picture of what people think. A picture of hyde, or a giant humanoid for that matter, standing next to a normal human will be ideal and ill go from there. Dont worry about mass or detail just height will be great.

The model I started is moving towards a literal giant and needs to be smaller. If you have a fav pic of hyde or a pose you want considering then please put them up too.

Im sitting here waiting and the materials are in front of me, so soon as some good ones arrive , then the sooner the work starts.


Thanks for all ideas

Crusader Miniatures- he's from a small range they started in their Crusader collections called Superheroes I think. BUt I can't see him listed anywhere on their website now. :?

Black Hat has him - he's called Tonka (I have him, too... he's been sitting half-painted on my desk for about a year... I wanted him ti be an oriental arch-villain henchman, but i cannot get the skin right  :-[  )
