Toy-Review: Blackbeard by Andrew Bell from Android 2 Mini Collectible by DYZ Plastic

TOY-STORY: As previously blogged, the Android Mini Collectibles Series 2 is the second series release featuring the Google Android mascot as a 3-inch tall toy as produced and released by DYZ Plastic. Each display case consists of 16 x blind boxed containing a randomly placed toy within, with BLACKBEARD part of the basic assortment, with a ratio of 1/16 - which essentially mean you might get one figure in a boxed-selection of 16 figures.


This box of Androids Series 2 is courtesy of The Taken Shop (The Official Distributer of Androids in Malaysia). You are able to procure the set or single boxes online via http://www.takenshop.com.

Designed by U.S.A.-based artist Andrew Bell [Dead Zebra Inc] - who has designed a total of 4 x Androids for Series 2. This is the final of the four figures we are featuring today, and in my humble opinion, is one of the best designed.

BLACKBEARD features an exceptionally cool black and grey color-scheme, featuring the design elegance iconic to Andrew's styles, especially seen in the promo-imagery for the first Series of Androids. The figure is further heightened by the accented RED in the eyes and heart, and I adore this contrast! If the grey was slightly darker and closer to the black, then to me, this would have been "perfect" :)
