GO, GO, ROBO-KROO from Neil Roberts (Kneel, Robots/ Skinnyelbows)
Introducing the "Go, Go, Robo-Kroo-Kroo" = a crew of original characters from creator Neil Roberts (Kneel, Robots/ Skinnyelbows) sonic launched+available on www.bubblewrapptoys.com - Available individually and as well as a bundle/set. This first wave comprises of a limited run of 3 sets of 4 original, hand finished resin-made figures. The figures' heights range from Robbie at 165mm(6½ inches) down to YeYe32 at 95mm(3¾ inches).
""Go, Go, Robo-Kroo" is my first range of designer toys, inspired by popular cartoons, comics, movies and music. They're all original designs, printed and hand-finished by myself from my top secret workshop... This initial run size is limited as, once they're gone, I'll be introducing other new and different figures to expand The 'Kroo in time.". (@go_go_robo_kroo)
I'd mentioned to Neil that "Buckaroo Banzai" flashed immediately in my mind, as I looked at the characters - although the crew in the 1984 live action featured possessed nowhere near the awesomeness of this group does, but I'd imagined THIS would've been a New Millennium Re-Imagining as an Animated Project for the "8th Dimension" (but because I am after all a hugely 80s-influenced guy lah). The "retrowave" vibe is strong here, and I feel I need me some vaporwave tunes as I look at these beings LOL
""Go, Go, Robo-Kroo" have come from beyond space and time, through the cracks in parallel universes and from the depths of imagination."
Each figure comes with its own exclusive art-print postcard and vinyl logo sticker. The prints are original artworks by Neil himself and provide a little bit more insight into each character, which you can scroll thru to find out more HERE on TOYSREVIL...!
Robbie is KR-001 - a manual labor unit with a protective attitude. Built in the tough factory yards of Pluto for use in the comet-mines of the Oort Cloud, it loves nothing more than hanging out and relaxing after a hard year at work in the cold depths of interstellar space. The shiny exo-armor is designed to deflect micrometeorites and the red details allows for quick identification out in the blackness of space.
YeYe 32 is KR-002 - a friendship droid built for deep space/ intergalactic assignments. A constant presence on scientific colony ships, YeYe 32 is also a highly skilled mechanic and possesses extreme strength in order to carry out maintenance duties. It may be a little sassy at times, but you will never find a more committed companion!
ZOZO is KR-003 - a medical droid who always feels sad but is full of love. Possessing extensive medical databases, ZOZO is built on an agile analytical model which allows it to learn and adapt quickly to new situations. The burden of universal empathy may weigh heavy, but ZOZO always cares for all.
Stella Soul: Intergalactic Rap Queen is KR-004 - an interplanetary goddess from another dimension, with a wild style and no need to smile because her rhymes can never be put on trial because she’s so versatile. Fused in the pulsating heart of a trans-dimensional supernova from the building blocks of hip hop, sci-fi and superheroes, she is another proud and confident woman not to be messed with.
BONUS: Here are some WIPs from Neil, which you can check out on his Artstation and dedicated Insta @go_go_robo_kroo! Once these guys are gone, a new 'kroo will emerge...!
