Upcoming Toys on TOYSREVIL (Feb/4/2011)
A video-grab of an Uglydolls Windup from Giant Robot. Still waiting to share this particular video tho… Nevertheless I get them whenever I can. Can't believe I'm getting excited over Wind-ups too! LOL
[More Windup pics posted here]
Andrew Bell shares images of a trio of upcoming Android designs on the DYZPlastics blog, featuring a black-w-tih-green HEXCODE (from Andrew himself - 2/16 ratio), a translucent GREENNEON from Google Inc (2/16 ration), as well a 1/16 ratio's UPCAKE from Gary Ham (of which his winter special Android is posted above-left for references sake). From the little I know, Series One came and got gobbled up real quick (from both collectors and non-toy-collectors alike!) - so I don't really expect these vinyls to be hanging around long.
Lap of Munky King shares with us 360-turn images from the upcoming Omi Series 1 - with the above walrus design by Frank Kozik, while Dave Pressler handles design for the posted-bottom monkey with brain. We've not had much info regarding MK's own DIY Omi Series, so this is quite a treat.
And while researching for Nathan Jurevicius's Dievas Dunny, I'd come across a November 2010-tweet where he posted an image of a 7" porcelain BUNNIGURU in porcelain? Apparently produced by K.Olin in France (Potamus & Aro), this looks to be a swell ornate figure to be produced!
Vinyl test-pull for Ferg's upcoming 4" tall Misfortune Cat Minis, with this design featuring Chris Ryniak's beheaded cutie, last featured as a custom full-size here.
Fledgling UK-based toymakers Bitbots reveals the next 10 designs by 8 artists to be chosen (from their recent Design Competition) for future production considerations. Congrats to everyone involved!
The UNKL Brand now looks to Facebook to begin their next evolution of promotions, plastering new images of their upcoming products, like the swell new Hazmapos above, as well as the "Asterix"-colored Viking Dreamer below. That's right, folks are doing it for themselves now! Also check out the Gastro Normous-alternative colorway and SearchR figure sculpt (from the SUG family - a fig still missing from my humble collection).
Toy2R reveals the final four character designs in their upcoming new DIY platform: 5" Mini Qees - with Mon (Monkee), KitKat (Cat), Pigee (Pig) and Sprayee (Sprayhead) - scheduled to be made available during Toy2R's NYC♥QEE event being held at Yoyamart on February 14th (limited quantities available for first dibs).
GO HERO is teaming up with ZICA TOYS to create new 1:9 scale collectibles based figures from Bluewater Production titles, specifically "The Misadventures of Adam West" (classic television's "Batman"), "Logan's Run: Last Day" and "Sinbad: Rogue of Mars" comicbook titles.
PRESS-TEXT: "The new collectible lines will begin in the re-popularized 1:9 scale. Each figure will feature ZICA Toys' highly articulated Z-Body (Recently featured in the new BUCK ROGERS line). The goal is to strike the best balance between the popular retro aesthetic and the modern quality and detail to deliver exciting figure designs.
UPDATED: Leroy C.Product Snaps!
Seems everyone else has been receiving info about the upcoming LEROY C figure from a collabo between Invisible Creatures and Super7 - scheduled for a release Monday Feb 7 @ 10am PST online. Priced at US$30 per 4.25" tall all-black prototypes, Leroy is limited to 30 pieces, before the colored ones are available via Super7. The back-body spikes are irresistible, hence this post.
