Toy-Review: Hexcode 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 HEXCODE part of the basic assortment, with a ratio of 2/16 - which essentially mean you might get two figures 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] - Andrew is the head-honcho of DYZ Plastic, and has also contributed designs to Series One and two special edition Androids: Cai Shen and Power Vampire.
Andrew has designed a total of 4 x Androids for Series 2. HEXCODE sees a predominantly all-black Android with green highlights and hexagonal straight-up print design patterns on the surface. And while I am not a huge-honking fan of this figure, I cannot deny it's dynamic simplicity of the skin-design and chosen colors. Heck, the black base is perfect for what I have in mind for a "custom-toy", so having a "spare" figure out of the box, is a boon!
