Beartank Concept Art by Smash Tokyo Toys on a Qee?
Peep this concept art of the Beartank by Smash Tokyo Toys and TOY2R - as interpreted by artist Scumonkey of the October Toys forums (to see how the Btank would look as an 8" Qee - this is NOT the final product-design tho!). The above-left render is an earlier incarnation of Beartank X9 (which too NEEDS to be made real)!
Matty Boombatty of STT added: "My major passion is collecting 8" Qees so the question always came down to "Do we do an 8" Qee or an original toy or what? TOY2R has a lot going for it when it comes to choice of platform" - So I asked a number of guys to do our robots in a number of TOY2R platforms...this is him on their flagship platform and well...it's a bear...he's a giant robot death bear…..so we had to decide to do a big, expensive toy or the more accessible 2" format. Or maybe that new mini platform thing they're spruiking these days. TOY2R is hot for choices! So what would other people choose? I guess that will be the million dollar question on release day!"
You had me with "giant robot death bear", Matty! So which would YOU prefer folks? A diminutive 2-incher? Or a hulking toy-eating 8-incher? Regardless, the toy NEEDS to have the cannon popping out from his chest chasis, IMHO!
