Does anyone else think the Sylar doll looks like Lou Ferrigno?

@smcallah: Thank you for that information. I feel much better now as the sculpts seen here are not giving me much hope if a complete line were put out in this style.

That Sylar looks like an evil ape... or David Boreanz before makeup.

It says in the magazine that these are just sculpts. No action figures have yet been molded or made.

They haven't even been given access to the actors to do 3D scans to make figures that look more like them, as has been done with other TV shows and movies.

I'm sure by the time these are actually ready to sell that they'll look better than these pre-production sculpts.

The people on the show are pretty.

These, like the title says, not so much.

Merchandise with the ability fall as flat as the tv show has.

@zeppelined: Yeah, I'm more excited about that as well. Of course, I don't need to be buying anything else. Ever. Shelfspace=null.

The blurb for the Alex Ross DC figure line is kind of intriguing.
