Toy-Review: Iceberg 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 ICEBERG 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.
** Especially for TOYSREVIL-readers - there is a discount code for worldwide free shipping! Remember the code is "toysrevil.blogspot.com" (without the quotes). The discount code is only applicable on purchases over RM400.00 with any items available in the store.
Designed by U.S.A.-based artist Andrew Bell [Dead Zebra Inc] - this is the third of a total of 4 x Androids for Series 2 being featured here.
The material-quality of the ICEBERG Android matches the GREENEON, but includes paintwork at the bottom of the bot, making it opaque. And just like the Greeneon, the head/top can be popped off!
The tint of the blue against light contrasts quite interestingly with the page of the blue-paint. I imagine a gradual tonal-tint instead would have made this figure spectacular, IMHO.
CONTEST-ALERT: Slightly over a day where guessing how many Singapore 5-Cent coins in this Greeneon Android could win you both the Greeneon and as well this Iceberg Android FREE! Check out contest details posted HERE and leave your closest-guessed number on Facebook HERE to participate! (One comment/entry per account pls, thanks!)
