Hey, Everyone!

MLB free agency is officially underway, and it will be another exciting off-season filled with rumors and high-dollar bidding wars. Stay tuned to the 2007-08 MLB Hot Stove thread for all the latest free agency updates and discussions from your very own board members.

Shadow Tuesday is here again! Guess who this is from an upcoming NFL Series.

I was thinking more along the lines of Joe Namath or Broadway Joe's Steakhouse

LOL......when I saw it very fast, looked like a woman in a....err.......inviting mood?

Then I realized that she had to be a really weird woman......

I've been called worse. :D:o

[Avatar_of_Chaos]

So is it safe to assume that's Libra?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

rawrrr, looks like that killer sea cucumber zodiac dude xD

I haven't seen any pics of that one before....:confused: I figured it was the Basilisk from Legend of the Blade Hunters with webbing, and Lake Monster bit...not to mention the May release date. No clue what the hint means though...

If it is the Basilisk he's draconic enough so far I'll prob get him. ;)

[marcbjr2]

So is it safe to assume that's Libra?

The first 4 to be released in the Zodiac line in May 2008 according to the news article are:
Aries
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer

Cancerso maybe the shadow is Cancer.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Didn't we see pics of Cancer and Taurus from Toyfair ? I thought they were humanoid looking...this looks a little too monster-ish to be a Warrior....I still think it's the Basilisk. :/

[Joe F.]

There is a little hint in the naming of the image. ;)

[Spawnomite]

There is a little hint in the naming of the image. ;)Julius&VincentBenedict.jpg??? :confused:

These are the in-house figs being released in May 2008.

The first 4 to be released in the Zodiac line:
Aries
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer

- Eternal Dragon
- Basilisk (Lake Demon)
- Tyr (Dragon rider)
- Ogre (Guard Class)

Legend of the Blade Hunters Series 1 Boxed Set
- King Draako

[GIOSplat]

Haha! It's Gemini. Nice hint Joe.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Julius&VincentBenedict.jpg??? :confused:

Same here...no idea....:confused:

I swear it has to be the Basilisk (Lake Demon) ....and Joe did say he was going to start showing us the LotBH shadows...

[marcbjr2]

There is a little hint in the naming of the image. ;)

By that I would have to say it is Gemini. Julius Benedict died on a June 5th which is under the sign of Gemini. I could not find anything on Vincent Benedict

[Verde13]

Its also a movie called "Twins"...starring arnold and danny devito.. :P
So if it is zodiac. I would go with pisces(which are two fish.) Since Gemini are the only other "twins" but they are human I thought it was a basilisk.

Pisces= two fish
Aries= ram
Taurus= bull
Gemini= twin people
Cancer= crab
Leo= lion
Virgo=woman
Libra= scale ( that should be interesting to see as a toy;))
Scorpio= scorpion
Sagitarius= Centaur
Capricorn=goat fish..............

[marcbjr2]

Its also a movie called twins...starring arnold and danny devito..

OMG I totally forgot about that movie. I feel like an idiot now. :rolleyes:

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Maybe the clue this time is suspposed to throw in diff directions...I don't know...Gemini is the Twins....was Julius and Vincent twins ?

Maybe it's a 2-headed creature then....all I can see is webbed hands and maybe a fish-like tail back there....

Yeah, those were Arnold and Danny's names in TWINS.

Pisces is not being released in May 2008 though, so I doubt it is that.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

OMG I totally forgot about that movie. I feel like an idiot now. :rolleyes:


Same here...:o If it had said Schwarzenegger and Devito then yeah...

So the clue has a twins theme : Gemini But the figure looks fish-like so : Pisces

Problem 2 : It says May release date....so I have no idea. :confused:

[Tablehead]

[Joe F.]

They are from the McFarlane panel at the SDCC 07.

Actually, the first photo is from the Chiller event I believe? The second set of photos are from SDCC 07.

[Spawnomite]

Verde13, those are McFarlane figs from SDCC. and those pics have been posted already.

No reason for a banning. We showed those images publicly back in July.

Just a heads up though, the final product will have some changes from the rough clays.

[Peter Hoffman]

Why would you get banned? Those pics have been posted dozens of times.

That's a wierd take on Gemini.

[Verde13]

Yes and I know, But I rememember these were posted and the thread dissapeared. Thats all I'm saying.

[Iced Earth]

nice

[GIOSplat]

The clues kinda oint to Gemini, I think, so maybe the shadow figure has mouths on both ends? Kinda like that Cat/Dog show from Nickalodeon years back.

[damagecase]

Joe, are we gonna see 'em on Friday. By them I mean Zodiac.

[Joe F.]

It's a possibility, but not definite yet.

[DragoN9ClouD]

great... so my symbol is twisted catdog. compared to aries and cancer, i could almost not get more upset.

[BloodPig]

That's a wierd take on Gemini.

Yeah, very weird.

[GIOSplat]

Hey Joe, did you check out the 2008 movie toy license thread? Are we warm? Cold?

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Well I'm glad it's not the Basilisk.....looks like a creature I came up with for our haunt this year...great minds think alike eh ? lol ;)

I have no idea how that's Gemini though...

Cancer looks like he would go well with my Davy Jone's crew though... :D

[KrewL RaiN]

If I may...eh em
