Great sculpts. My only concern is how well these will go with the rest of the team.
Rex, and the other "edits" done by Phil Bowen really worked with the original Phil Lewis sculpts, scale and all. They have a real strong 2nd edition feel to them, which is one of the things that appeal to me the most about the All-Stars.
Dorian's pose is a little more dynamic and the detailing is greater than anything I'm familiar with in the 2nd edition. He looks a lot like one of Granny's current vampires.
The picture of the Spider green is at an odd angle and in pieces. Can't really tell much, but it looks like a good fit. Being 2nd ed scale will be the key selling point for me.
All in all I do like them and I will be picking them up, regardless, to increase the size of my team.
Keep up the good work, guys!

I think Dorian was a test piece for the current Granny vampires |

I'm confused, as the pics for Dorian is the unreleased Vamp Lord that Steve B did, which was changed for the Grandma Wendy Vamp team. Does that mean someone has mad another conversion of the unreleased fig to represent Dorian?

Yes. This was the original, but Grandma Wendy decided he needed a helmet. A resin copy was made and kept by the sculptor, and they put a helmet on him and sold him as part of the vampire team.
I will of course pick up these two, but agree with Aerofool's worries. They are starting to look a bit too good now, to blend in perfectly with the original Chaos All-Stars team. Watch out Galak; keep the quality down! (yes, seriously)
(And also watch out for the height/size of the new players)
With the best intentions

Ignore my post - I've just re-read the thread on TBB where Steve sold it.

I'm sure that Tom posted somewhere to say that further Chaos All-Stars (past and present) would be made for gifts at the Chaos Cup
Who or what these future releases will be is anyones guess but we are already covered through till 2012 with the current ones scheduled |

Spider Smith goes along with them well ... definitely 2e scale.
Lord Dorian the Lost was the Owner of the Chaos All-Stars ... as such he's not meant to match up with the rest of the team as he's the owner ... he should look better than them.

Painted image of Spider Smith.
He comes with one body; 12 arms and 2 heads allowing you to make either of these poses or one inbetween.

Yes I'll have a package deal for the 3 new figures (Rex, Spider, Dorian). I'll also do just Spider and Dorian as a package deal.
I'll see about doing a set of all 10 as well.

Multiple Heads/Multiple limbs = More magnet work for me! I see Tom has found a way to move those magnets!
