plus robots by devilrobots x tokidoki x play imaginative

Play Imaginative's collabo with Devilrobots and Tokidoki extends beyond their Trexi Plus series into vinyl-robots with their 8-incher PLUS ROBOTS duo of ASTRODEMONIO (by Tokidoki - proto-type last seen at PI@Galleria, July 2007) and EVIL KING (by Devilrobots) including 1-incher tall Pilots Captain Murder Jr and Shin K who accompanies their respective-robos (i've always lurved it when there's an mecha-operator)= whose proto-sculpts were peeped on PI's website, mirrored here for your viewing pleasure ;p

i like my mecha/robots "chunky" and these certainly fits the aesthetic -bill, sporting a quasi-retro cartoon/manga-feel of yesterchildhood (at least for me) and the playfulness with the glimpses of color from the teaser, this'll be a pair i'll be looking forward to be seeing of more.

initially slated for a July-drop (which i hope we'll get a chance to at least see a colored-proto by STCC-period, yeh? muahahaha) - i wonder if there's a seat/opening to fit the 1-incher pilots in the robots - now that would be uber-cool, IMHO :) /// CLICK FOR MORE

Pilot Shin K is a genius since he was born. He made the robot in
just 3 days which is the Evil King. He loves Japan, so the robot has
2 Katana Blades. With Unknown mechanism, the robot's energy is
Beer. Shin K drinks beers himself when he is under danger in battle.

Pilot Captain Murder Jr. who makes sure that his Big Blue Robot
"Astrodemonio" is always kept nice and shiny in their home in Italy.
"Campioni del mondo" - "Champions of the World" says Pilot Captain
Murder Jr.


Initial Prototype seen at PI@Galleria Foyer (circa July 07):
