ENTERBAY to do DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION in 1/6th scale?
[CLICK THRU for more + embedded movie trailer]
And no, "Dragonball Evolution" is not the name of new car racing flick, but the evolved moniker for the previously titled Dragonball movie directed by James Wong (even tho the fonts and design look like an Initial-D-rifting-2Fast2Furious-sorta jobbie). heh.
The "ENTERBAY Evolution" apparently begins 2nd quarter of 2009 - perhaps in tandem with the premiere of the live-action movie adaptation of the manga ~ on April 8th 2009? With Enterbay's track-record of nigh-realistic headsculpts - most evident in their Arnie Kim-sculpted Bruce Lee series, coupled with official licensed property (hence no shady diluted likenesses associated with non-licensed sculpts) - will no doubt not disappoint fans, IMHO.
Their recent work by Y.J. Park for 24's Jack Bauer and David Palmer has thus far shown they can handle Caucasian / western sculpts/likeness. So, to me the 1/6th-figures are an inevitability (unless Enterbay ventures into other size/scale product lines, then here's egg in my eye, innit? HAH). But the question is: WHO will be made 1/6th?
The principle-choices would no doubt be Son Goku (Justin Chatwin) in a multiple of guises (a hallmark of Enterbay). How about a Master Roshi (Chow Yun Fatt)? Would Lord Piccolo be Enterbay's virgin foray into non-human sculpts? Or would Bulma (Emmy Rossum) be their first female 1/6th-figure? YOU choose! (and don't go choosing "none" becoz "the movie-will-suck" or whatnot - this ain't how the "game" is played). heh.
