Today I’ve got two new 3D printed Star Wars 6″ scale accessories available now in the PRHI Shapeways Shop. First is a backpack for the Star Wars Battlefront Shocktrooper, and the second is the RT-97C Heavy Blaster Rifle wielded by Sandtroopers in the original film. Both parts are available in Black Strong Flexible material and can be used as-is when you receive them. I added the lightest bit of drybrushing and blocked in a few details for these photos to show off how sharp the prints came out.
Lots more pics after the fold!

The PRHI Solid Arm is a new 3D printed add-on kit for 12″ GI Joes using the vintage style body, including reissue bodies and Cotswold Elite Brigade bodies, and is available now through the PRHI Shapeways Shop. Followers of my Instagram have seen the development process of this kit for a while now, so I am happy to have the final parts from Shapeways in-hand and be able to paint them up! Read on for details on the kits and more pics of my finished, painted arms.

I posted the PRHI ‘Box’ Mk I 3D printed toy a while back. It was designed as an exercise for me to try out some new joint designs. It’s a bootleg of ThreeA’s Square toy, with some additional detail and accessory bits by me. I had never really planned on using this model for anything more, but I have received a couple requests to share the files. Sort of an ‘open source’ Square bootleg. I’m hosting a .zip folder of the STL files needed to print your own ‘Box’ for personal purposes. The models are intended to be printed in ABS plastic, as I do not believe PLA has the elasticity for the ratchet joints in the legs to work properly. In addition to the Box Mk I, I am posting files for the Box Mk II, which I do not believe I have ever shown off before:
Here are download links for the two sets of files. Each is a .zip folder containing all the parts needed to print a PRHI Box. Parts that need to be printed more than once are labeled as such in the filename. These are provided as-is, with no support. If you print one and do something cool with it, send me an email!

The Prototype color version of the newest Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D printed action figure is available now from FOE Gallery. Head on over to their site to purchase this one-off painted version: Micro Moving Mecha Prototype ver. on ShopFOE
The newest PRHI 3D printed toy was inspired by a sketch done by Minoru Sashida, Head Art Director at Namco Bandai and longtime Microman expert. Sashida-sama had envisioned the RX-78-2 Gundam in the style of other robots released as diecast figures in the Microman line, such as Kotetsu Jeeg (鋼鉄ジーグ) and Magnerobo Gakeen (マグネロボ・ガ・キーン). These diecast figures came about because the original toys for both series were made by Takara, so they were able to release these characters under the Microman banner as well. Sashida-sama’s illustration is a ‘what-if’, rendering the Gundam in the same style as the other Micro robot diecasts. I loved the drawing, and could immediately see how well it work would as a real toy. I started with that sketch and ended up here, with a fully articulated Micro-sized Gundam. I worked in the mecha’s classic accessories, as well as some design inputs from the original Clover toys that were released alongside the anime. For the Micro Moving Mecha’s (MMM) debut, I had to go with the iconic black and white RX-78-1 Prototype paint scheme. This fully painted one-off debuted at FOE Gallery’s LOOK5 show and will be available on their site here if it hasn’t sold yet: Shop FOE Store. The first regular release of the PRHI MMM is in the works, and will be a printed in color version in blue and silver to look like a diecast metal figure. Stay tuned for details!
Here’s the PRHI MMM alongside a Real Type Micro buddy!

This ‘Vintage Style’ TARS was the test figure for the next release, printed in silver plastic with painted details to mimic a vintage Kenner-era production. Expect more news about the release later this summer!

These two TARS were commissioned by private collectors after missing out on the first fully painted release. Both requested a cleaner TARS without the weathering, so they are bright and shiny, with just natural shading instead of a lot of washes and effects. 3D printed in ABS plastic and painted with Monster Kolor.
This PRHI Roteaugen was done as a commission in a color scheme chosen by the customer, which I’m calling the Thor Corps. He’s 3D printed in ABS plastic, treated with acetone vapor, and painted with Monster Kolor.
