Fake in the sense of: Not official?
Certainly

Actually, you have to fit it together yourself, and then even PAINT it!
So it's only for the true artists. And it looks too skinny to me.

Luckily I own the other "semi fake" Abe statue model. Not official supported by OWI, but made for GT Interactive Germany. That model looks pretty cool compared to this one.

***Xavier*** · #3 09-17-2010, 01:09 PM

Honestly I think it really looks aweful. And yeah it's definitely not supported by Oddworld Inhabitants / OddMobb.

OANST · #4 09-17-2010, 01:15 PM

It looks like a rectal polyp.

Jordan · #5 09-17-2010, 02:05 PM

That's terrible, please, no one buy this.

Ridg3 · #6 09-17-2010, 03:35 PM

I read erwinraaben55's comment about assembling it and painting it and I was interested, but after looking at the model I can honestly say I have seen more appealing shits.

lol what? you need to be a "true artist" to paint a model?

Honestly I would jizz all over the place if someone made an Oddworld Chess set, oceans of jizz.

That would be the most awesome thing ever! The chess thing, not the jizzing all over the place

I don't really like them, I don't think they are very good, not that I could do better but still.

Now that would be awesome.
Which species/character would represent which piece, if you had it your way?

Daft.Eng · #13 09-19-2010, 02:25 PM

My god...iwas kind of interested...until i saw it, what a mess, he looks so deformed...
Im hoping for oddworld merchendise if the new game(s)take off again...

psycoman27 · #14 09-19-2010, 04:40 PM

Really bad quality, plus it requires assembly and painting, so It probably won't look that good once you paint it. Plus Oddworld will be up and running again with a shiny new website, maybe then we will finally see official Oddworld merch. Although I do remember them selling T-shirts at one point, but that was years ago and they no longer exist. I wish I could get my hands on one.

Industrial v Native.

King: Glockstar / Shaman
Queen: Margeret / Sam
Knight: Flying Slig / Elum
Bishop: Floating Mine / Paramite
Rook: Slig / Scrab
Pawn: Slog / Mudokon

Mudokon_Master · #17 09-20-2010, 12:08 AM

No, this isn't so bad. It's definitely not realistic, but it could be if you just made his body less wide. Also, he is skinny, but that is way too skinny. Good job - I definitely couldn't do any better and I doubt anyone here could, but it needs improvement. Keep it up

What are you talking about? It's not a figure made by the original poster, just some company trying to sell a piece of garbage.

Sounds good except...

King: Molluck/Abe or maybe Big Face
Bishop: Greeter
Rook: Slog
Pawn: Slig

MeechMunchie · #20 09-23-2010, 10:54 AM

I'd say Slogs are used more as mass troops than Sligs. You get near-infinite numbers of them coming out of kennels. And Sligs have guns, for goodness sake. Good point about the Greeters though. For Bishops I tried to think of things that came from unexpected routes. As for the King, Molluck wasn't actually that significant, and Abe is more of a one-off than a consistent part of a Native tribe.

Okay, I know this guy is somewhere on the level of an Apostle to us, but isn't that spam?

***Nate*** · #23 09-23-2010, 04:13 PM

I think he's attempting some sort of viral marketing.

Mudokon_Master · #24 09-23-2010, 05:35 PM

I think it looks terrible, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't buy it if I came across it. I would buy it just to have an "Abe figurine" in my bedroom that all my friends can go "Dude where'd you get that??" Looks horrible though.

Don't you think that the queen Mud would be better as a king? Oh wait, maybe I should reconsider that due to the whole gender problem.

Yep probably, the oddmobb twitter account just showed up.

looney-bin · #27 09-23-2010, 11:47 PM

On the topic of merchandise, I personally wouldn't mind an Oddworld tabletop wargame. I just like the thought of lining some plastic/resin Big Bro Sligs on my desk next to my Space Marine Terminators.

Good point. Most of Oddworld's species have a matriarchy. Plus they fill the chess position of 'Very important but not very mobile'.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! · #30 09-25-2010, 02:01 AM

that figure isnt that bad, it was made by some german company who wernt liscenced to make it, so that might be the only one, i read it in the oddworld book, but i thought they were scrapped?
