Halfbad Toys is a three person painting, casting, and designer toy company from Connecticut, and they are awesome. I got to meet them at FOE, where they were debuting the FOE exclusive color of their collaborative figure with oOMoSOo, a designer of cool things, sculpted by Steven Patt of PapaGrim Toys. The result is Skekiltor, the Mace of Hades.
Task Force G was one of the first operational Microfighter deployments after the initial Rollout. Their bright colors make them a comforting site when combating Killer Culture outbreaks in populated areas.
My submission to Kaiju for Japan is the ‘Weathering version’ of the Rollout color Microfighter. It features decals and a battle and use-worn finish, with some minor battle damage added.
The newest Killer Culture sculpt, the Antimacrobial Microfighter RLF-MKI is the main line of defense robots designed by the Joint Killer Culture Defense Force (JKCDF) designed to fight the growing Macrobial menace wherever they appear. Armed with a heavy bazooka cannon and a twin-barrel multipurpose launcher, the “Relief” Mark I is designed for mobility and firepower
I picked up this little resin guy from Motorbot (Store), a resin maker out of Texas with interesting creature designs. I’ve been interested in his designs for a while, but never quite committed enough to grab one of his larger figures. He recently came out with a wave of bargain-priced minis, and I couldn’t resist.
Proof that I’ve been holding out on you all 😉 Real photos for each set and some background forthcoming. My goal is to get these out real soon. There’s still some surprises in store, so don’t fret.
Just a little proof that we’re still making progress… one set is done, but the Rollout colors require a little more prep. These are going to hit hard when they finally hit!
I saw this post over at Overkill Creations calling customizers to develop new MUSCLE style minifigures as part of an open collaboration to continue the line. I am too young to have played with MUSCLE figures, but I did love the heck out of Z-bots, a similar line of pocket sized robots that were fully painted and articulated. I had been beginning to brainstorm a set of micro robots designed to fight the Killer Culture macrobial threats, and Mad Joe’s idea pushed me over the edge. This is the sum of two evenings’ work, and the figure is now just waiting for the Apoxy Sculpt details to dry so I can clean them up and apply a primer coat to sand.
Sorry for the rough photos, but these are hot off the workbench from my iPod camera.
Fluff and more details will be forthcoming. This guy will not be like the second bacteria sculpt I teased, which proved a little too ambitious for my current setup, but there’s more in the future of that design. If all goes according to plan (and it likely will, since I will be snowed in most of the week), there should be casts of this guy by the weekend!
