the origin of silver death

In the year 2031, the world has been ravaged by countless nuclear wars. The radioactive atmosphere that these wars has left behind is changing life. High levels of radiation and other toxins are changing the the living things of this Earth. The wars have still not ended in this new post-apocalyptic world...The government is being challenged by militias and evil madmen, using high technology and old-world black magic, trying to cause further destruction in this time of chaos ...

... so begins the epic story of the scientist-cyborg superhero; SILVER DEATH
= a new toy coming soon from Dark Box Workshop (makers of Shadowman):

Silver Death is scheduled to debut in Taipei Toy Festival 2007 (where only 30 pcs of a "special color" will be available) and TOYSREVIL will bring you exclusive teasers, development sneaks (like the proto-sculpts shown here) and other goodies, leading up to it's debut, so stay tuned! ... meanwhile, peep more exclusive in-development sculpt-pics and read the entire story/origin of Silver Death, *after the JUMP*


am personally digging the design; with a heavy dose of classic metal (chinese) retro mecha-toys, as well as tinge of kaiju ... and am liking the details in the sculpt, like the death's head relief motif and touches like an interchangable "human" head = *schweet*

definitely a sweet orga+mecha design-mix, IMHO :)

"Using the high levels of omega radiation, the evil of this world have spawned armies of beasts...giant monsters! After countless attacks by these new terrors, what is left of our government decides to take action.

In the underground laboratories of the presidential mansion, an experiment is taking place. Mixing cyborg technology, injections of radiation, and toxic germs....One scientist becomes the guinnea pig ... He experiments on himself, forging metal to flesh...creating biomechanical beasts and weapons....and injecting the toxic medicine into his blood...

Out of these countless failed experiments, a hero is born...The scientist is reborn...He is now SILVER DEATH .... the world's only hope against the giant monster armies ravaging our planet.....With his electrically charged Power Staff and his energy sucking Nano-Spyders, Silver Death is here to take the Earth back for all humanity!

Go Go SILVER DEATH!!! Fight to the Last!!!!
