Over the last couple of days we’ve seen some character posters for Shane Acker’s 9. We’ve seen ’7′, as well as ’8′. Now FirstShowing has found the series and collected them all–and they look fantastic!

I saw no info attached to the ’1′ or ’6′ character, but here are some of the bios below:
’2′ – Voiced by Academy Award Winner Martin Landau, 2 is a kind but now frail inventor and explorer who embodies the Scientist’s strong creative spirit. An inquisitive personality, 2 is fearless. Director Shane Acker affectionately describes him as a “salty old dog.”
’3′ and ’4′ – Communicating visually, not verbally, 3 and 4 are the scholarly twins who voraciously catalogue everything they can see and find, recording and building a massive database for the group of the world that surrounds them and the history that led up to their creation.
’5′ – Voiced by Academy Award nominee John C. Reilly, 5 is a caring, nurturing engineer – the loyal, big-hearted “common man” who always tries to play the peacemaker. He is also an apprentice of 2, with whom he shares a special bond.
’7′ – A brave and self-sufficient warrior, 7 is the group’s sole female. A fiercely independent adventuress, she has been out patrolling the wasteland. To survive, she has adapted, finding the bones of a deceased bird and crafting her signature skull helmet. Producer Tim Burton explains why he loves 7: “7 is my favorite in terms of poses struck. Growing up on martial arts movies, 7′s got that real Bruce Lee kind of quality that is just really strong.”
’8′ - Armed with a giant kitchen cleaver and half a scissor blade, the none-too-bright muscle and enforcer of the group, 8, is created to help the others physically survive the dangerous, post-apocalyptic world.
As noted before, you want to go to FirstShowing if you want to get links to the mega sized versions of the posters.
Remember to go and peep out 5 minutes of 9 and the short film that the feature length film is based on. 9 features voice-work by Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, Martin Landau, and Christopher Plummer.
9 will be released in the USA 9 September 2009.
