Maybe it's because I might not be as longtime a fan as some of the other people here, but I look at the face on "Usagi Yojimbo" and hear a hot-blooded "HYAAAAAAH! LET'S GET SOME ACTION!"

The TMNT figure's face should be more calm and composed.
Hmm... how to best express myself in signature form?

Well, I'm back. I need to get back into the series, been so long since I read volume 7.

Here's a little teaser of the last figure for series one. This is still a work in progress. Just sharing with you the preliminary stage.

Very nice! Nice deatail as always! :D

Also can I ask (Sorry If I've missed it somewhere), roughly how high are these statues?

Thanks!

I'm also really looking forward to these. Although, I've had a some dodgy experiences with buying figures online. I was really looking forward to the Masters of the Universe Classics line available only through Mattel's online store ("only" that is so long as I didn't want to pay secondary market prices).

However, being that I was travelling when Stratos was released I couldn't get to a computer for two weeks, after which he was sold out. Likewise, Faker was no longer available after being released for only three days!

I am concerned that with only limited access to the net, I might miss out on some of the Usagi maquettes. And, like most of you, I want them all! :D Will there be the opportunity to pre-order the maquettes to ensure that we don't miss out?
Even if the breath between us smells of alcohol,
Call it confusion in the best way possible.

Yes, if everything goes as planned, you can start pre ordering sometime next month. I will post here when that becomes possible.

Gen is almost completed. He will have an interchangeable sake cup and ryo in his right hand. You can't see it in this shot but he is holding his sword on his back.

These are all estimates. I may be an eighth or a quarter of an inch off but here you go.

Usagi is about 7.5 inches from the top of his head. If you include his ears it would be about 8.5 inches.

Katsuichi is about 8.5 and 9.5 with the ponytail.

Jotaro is about 5 1/4 with ears about 6 1/4

Tomoe is about 7 1/4 and 81/4 with her hair

Gen is about 9 inches
