Kenner batman 100 (1996)sketch by Araon Archer
indirectly concept art picked up by mattel a decade laterits incredibly to find production art these days there used to be tons of sites that archive this kinda stuff

>>11075370oh damn i forgot about the duke line those things still look great
>>11075375Pig Cop almost had an exploding feature.
>>11075378haha thats amazing. i imagine it might have functioned in a similair way the small soldiers toy did with the arms that flew off
>>11075378>>11075381Come on, are you guys really this dumb? It's literally just an exploded view drawing. Showing how the parts should be sculpted for the articulation and construction, jesus christ.
>>11075388Explosion view? articulation? whats the difference
>>11075407I'm not sure if you're just dumb, or tying to make a joke but 'exploded view' is a well known technical term when all the components of an object are shown separated from one another.
>>11075381Not familiar with the Small Soldeir figure. It does look like it would have worked similar to the Kenner Exploding T-1000 and Exploding Beetlejuice figures.
>>11075388It was originally planned to come with a an exploding action feature. The guts can be seen in the exploding view.
>>11075432Even if that is the case, what's shown in the drawing is an exploded view and not a depiction of any possible exploding action feature. The figure would not be able to come apart like shown and be put back together.
>>11075454Does this simplify it for you?

One of the more infamous concept arts, the Marvel Legends Ultron toy for 2003.
>>11075968The sculptor misinterpreted the way the head was shaped, painted the eyes in the wrong spot, and it went over terribly with the people buying the toys to the point that prior to release Toy-Biz had to resculpt the head into a "regular" Ultron head on a wildly redesigned body.
Micromaster concept art
>>11076038Moar
>>11076039Even moaaaaar
>>11075968>>11075971I miss this era of superhero sculpts, it was like Super Imaginative Chogokin.
>>11075388bro... it is an exploded/expanded view, but check out the chest. They never sculpt guts into a figure if its not going to be seen.Maybe next time pay attention a little harder and you wont sound like a fucking retard autist.
>>11075454Holy fuck are you an idiot.>>11075474Holy fuck that guy is an idiot.
still have this guy>>11076083hush
>>11066335heres a peak at a nightwing we never got
>>11076101no. retards need to be called out, or they will keep being retarded.
>>11076127go back to your fisherprice thread lmao
>>11076070Bdjsjjsjsj even EVEN mooooooooaaaaaaar micromasters
>>11076132...or you could just stop being a faggot and pay attention to things instead of getting buttblasted by ever single post.
>>11075968This one is crazy. You can't even tell it is supposed to be Ultron.
>>11075968>>11075971I wish they kept the wolf-like head at least, that way some fixings in the face could've been made him look like the actual prototype face.
>>11075971>>11076707The final design doesn't even look like an evil robot, just look at that silly rabbit-like face.
Some for Machine Robo.

i wish modern capeshit had this much personality

>>11075280all the batman concepts ITT make me wish spinmaster woulsd try harder with both their DC and Batman lines. they're transitioning into a movie batman anniversary line now, and Id rather see them have some fun with that idea over just releasing a dozen new screen accurate batmen and friends. It's crazy that Batman Unlimited is a standard we havent been able match for more than a decade.
>>11077322looks S.I.C. esque
>>11077327i coulda swore there was a scuba spider kinda like this
>>11077465there could have been. toybiz was no stranger to repainting figures from random lines and including them in new ones. Im pretty sure they repainted triton and iron man into spidey variants at one point too. incase you were curious that was the concept art for vampire wars anti-vampire spiderman
>>11077437definitely. alot of toybiz guys seemed to have their finger on that pulse. you can see it in the earlier ultron concepts too. Im assuming robot wolverine was meant to be a variant for the x-men classics line that got cut from production. reminds me alot of their cyber spiderman design wise.
Vintage Wingnut concept art
>>11077527>even the baby mammoth is articulatedthats amazing
Some Beast Wars Transmetal concept art. Crazy to think the Transmetals were already in the works before the show even came out and the toys were only just starting to come out
>>11077812all the beast wars concept art is amazing. I really wish more toylines got art books or something, many of them honestly merit it.
>>11077812>>11077827here's some scans for one of the Beast Wars era books. A heads-up: while the book IS NOT porn itself, there will most likely be NSFW ads on the page:>https://e-hentai.org/g/1793790/08f1aa2e54/
>>11078158thanks for the heads up fren
lego concept art always seems harder to come across for some reason
With lego, it's hard to imagine anything but the toys being the concept art itself.
>>11080166they do actually work off concept art however. most themes require it before they move to prototyping, even licensed ones.
I'll always be mad that we never got more of these guys
>>11082205who could blame you anon? even at that time that SOVL was quickly disappearing from store shelves. Atleast Xevoz is fondly remembered. I doubt the average person remembers Skeleflex despite how awesome that line was. Ironic they were both Hasbro creations.
>>11079259Are there any sketches of the batman from this line available? one of my all time favorites when i was a kid
>>11082498I had a Skeleflex toy when I was a kid, and couldn't remember what it was called for the longest time. I think skeleflex conceptually couldn't have gone much further than it did though. Xevoz offered a lot more growth potential
>>11066335this is krang say something nice about him
