CHAPPIE Prototype Action Figure by Threezero (Seen @ #ToySoul 2014)

Threezero debuts a prototype of a CHAPPIE figure from the upcoming feature film from director Neill Blomkamp ("District 9" & "Elysium")!

I am honestly pretty excited for this as this is one of those rare times you'd actually see a product before the more premieres, and not months/years after the movies have left the cinema screens (but you're alright Matrix APU lol). And especially since I am looking forward to watching this flick (movie trailer and synopsis featured below), it is also a serendipitous situation where a "toy" of it will be made, from a fast-rising maker of licensed 1/6th-scaled collectible figures too! An alternative to Hong Kong's Hot Toys, I am keeping my eye out for this incarnation of "Chappie"!

"Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings – some good, some bad – and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there's one thing that makes Chappie different from anyone else: he is a robot. The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever." ()
