Reveal of Cris Rose x PodgyPanda Resin Robot Project

If you missed it, this was revealed over the weekend = PodgyPanda's version of his collaborative resin toy with Cris Rose! And today, we reveal Cris's version of the resin robot!

"Started before Christmas, this collaboration has had a lot of time and energy put into getting it as close to what both of us envisioned from the pairing. The strong sculptural style of my Robots is all still there, but with proportions, details and character straight out of Podge's sketchbook. 

Numerous adjustments, tweaks and alternatives were undertaken to ensure that Podge Panda's first original 3D character came to life with a strong resemblance to his well-known sketching style, while meeting manufacturing limitations and keeping the end result as affordable as possible. However the result is no cheap cop-out, weighing in at 250g each and standing similar in size and stature to a regular Buff Monster, these guys are 5x the mass of a regular Sprog giving some serious heft!" ~mentioned Cris Rose

"The first version released will be, naturally, a Panda, but future editions will see new character sculpts introduced (which for now, are secret ;) )

The two characters are literally from different universes, that they have similar appearance is purely coincidental as one is a robot chef (mine) and the other is a little dude in powersuit and jetpack (Podges). 

How they come to find themselves together will be explained with the first Edition of both versions, coming the very start of April!" ~added Cris Rose.

"Podge's version is hand cast by myself but entirely painted by him, including unique faces on every one in the PodgyPanda style we've all come to know and love. The aesthetic is clean, bright and bold, with some texture added, and is brought to life by the whimsical expressions Podge is so expert at.

My version is entirely cast and painted by myself, dirty, rusty and high contrast, he's a robot that fits right in with the rest of the family... but with the added cute of it's resemblance to a rather worried Panda!

Both versions come with clear domes - on Podge's it's a helmet for the space suit to help with that whole breathing thing - for mine, it's a retractable splash-guard to ensure he doesn't end up with a sausage in the face while preparing meals at speeds only robot hands could." ~shared Cris Rose.
