Toy Art Gallery is going to be hosting a custom group show for the US debut of Max toy Co’s newest figure Alien Argus opening on February 26th. Mark sent me this awesome minty green blank to paint for the show that was so cool I almost didn’t want to paint it!
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!
Thanks for making the Ceekoar drop a huge success. All the figures are now gone. Keep your eyes peeled for more customs! I’m thinking dirty and weathered figures next 😉
Super 7 is holding a show on January 29th and I was asked to participate. The rules were Super 7 or Gargamel toys, so I submitted the “Slick” mini Hedorah and another mini I’ll post tomorrow, along with these two that I whipped up, loosely inspired by Little Shop of Horrors. In this version, Audrey’s boyfriend the dentist turns into a robot and teams up with Audrey II the monster to kill Seymour and then they elope.
Update: The figures from the show are available now on the Super7 site! Looks like everyone has now sold! Thanks for your support.
Lorne is not like other Delphi. Whereas most Delphi are seem as mysterious guardians of an as-yet unknown motivation, Lorne likes to hit things. Called simple-minded and cast out of Delphi society, Lorne took to the stars and set out to write his own story. Along he way he has made friends, and so many more enemies.
Delphi Lorne once heard about an advanced Sincroid Exellis who had gained sentience and was imprisoned and studied. In need of a new second, Lorne broke Tercile out of a Glyosian black site and equipped the Sincroid as his new adjutant. Surprisingly snarky for a Sincroid, Tercile is one of Lorne’s favorite partners.
The Ceekoar drop is this evening! In the meantime, this comic should tide you over, and help introduce my little story. Keep reading after the jump!
Ceekoar is one of the fringe worlds of the Glyos universe, known for its harsh gaseous environment. It is constantly under siege because deep under its cloudy exterior it was the site of many ferocious Old War battles, resulting in the inhospitable environment today. The survivors of Ceekoar were changed by the new environment and now dedicate themselves to keeping the Old War tech decaying on Ceekoar out of anyone’s hands.
More group shots after the break!
Exposure to the powerful energies on Ceekoar leads to an unusually high occurrence of Phanost transformation among its warriors. As such, becoming a Phanost is seen as a right of passage among the Ceekoar, and most officers in the Ceekoar forces are Phanosts.
