SlackerLM Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is it just me, or is the one with the lollipop extra creepy? Like Children of the Corn creepy? Makes me want to play Neverborn! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Brilliant will no doubt be slotting these into my crew when there released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunarSol Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I really love the third one, as its the one that I think does the concept best. The first one feels a little flat and static and the second one is solid, but I feel like the mask isn't being held very naturally. Mostly though I just think the third one looks so good and the others are a tad redundant comparatively. I'd have loved to see the first one doing something like half peeling the mask off and the second one poorly holding the mask up. That said, the concept is stellar, and I'm really looking forward to adding that third one to a Lucius crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent of the Breach Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I like them, but I would have preferred to see a little more differences between them, maybe a girl or something beyond the same render in three poses. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solicitor 6 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I wish one of the sculpts was female. The whole grotesque face under a set of pigtails and a pinafore would be wonderfully creepy in addition to the short pants-wearing boys. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yool1981 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I am a bit disappointed. The first one looks a bit static. The second one's pose feels strange (why is he holding the mask and looking at the lollypop while flexing the knees? I don't understand the story being this.) I don't understand the third one's pose either. The costumes are all the same. Also, no female makes me sad. No, definitely, Wyrd can do better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zool Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yeah would have liked to see more variety, at least in wardrobe and hairstyles? This is just the same model in 3 different poses, which feels lazy. I do love the look of the model though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akodo Harid Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I love the third one since it has that "Ahhhh toys!" look to the mask. I'm imagining the skin pizza scene from tales from the borderlands. The second one though is odd posing but I like to think of it as a changeling being caught in mid-masking. The bent knees are that knee jerk flight reaction and the turned head is like "Hellooooo victimmmmm". The first is the dullest, but I like to think of it as the smug changeling. Totally agree that variety would have been especially appreciated. I expected something like the crooligans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 The model is great but making it three times seems like overkill. I mean, even the hair is identical on all three (on one it's mirrored). The faces of the first two are identical. The clothing is identical with all having their jackets unbuttoned (even the folds on the tie are identical). And the shorts look weirdly angular (that's some strong starch!). Really like the model but this is lazier than normal for Wyrd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anumberone Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I think these are fantastic and remind me of the children from Village of the Damned/The Midwich Cuckoos meets They Live. I do agree that one of them should be a creepy girl but otherwise the uniform look adds to the evil clone vibe. With any hope they're months off so I don't abandon Gremlins too soon to return to Neverborn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaphoricDragn Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Those are terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlackerLM Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 The second one makes me think of a creature crawling into a skinsuit all odd jointing and positioning. It makes me think that there's a fresh kill at its feet and its folding itself into the meat suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Seems a bit disappointing that a supermarket shapeshifter can only manage one haircut and uniform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Shadowopal Posted February 29, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I vote for this year's Miss model to be Miss Taken A three pack of female Changelings. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeblee Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 The third is by far the best for active and sencical posing. The first is very static (is it Show and Tell and that's why he's posing with his mask?) I get thematically why they seem to have a stock form, but it would be nice to have more than just poses to differentiate them (like different masks). It would have also been great if one or two of them were girls. Also, making at least one of them have more in common with the Mysterious Emmissary pod-changelings would have been nice. Other than those nitpicks, these are great executions of the art, and will look great next to the other Neverborn children. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralvorkraft Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Looks like Lucius will be opening an after school program once these drop. I'll just have to figure out how to make it work on the table... Also, I want to second the Miss Taken female changeling idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 The literal mask idea is cool like that, but I'm also in the camp of them being a bit redundant feeling, regardless of the theme of them looking similar. (Also, the mirrored one is pretty obvious due to the buttons, which doesn't really fit IMHO...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Gloom Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Very cool, I want them!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippodruid Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I definitely fall in the camp of people disappointed with the single render, many poses. I do like the sculpt except the cubeshorts (which are oddly pixellated; it's not a work-in-progress, is it?), and the third one has a great pose, but I can only imagine all the art on the box looking exactly the same, and painting the exact same little tie three times.
