The first ever Super Robot Giant Monster event hosted by CollectionDX was a huge success this past weekend. The event was at Mill No.5 in Lowell, MA, which turned out to be a terrific venue. The turnout was well beyond my expectations, and I had a chance to talk to a ton of people interested in 3D printing and robot toys, my two favorite hobbies. Prometheus Rising Studios was well represented, splitting a table with Brownnoize Productions and bringing four toy releases to the show. I have a few extras of each release left, and will post details about a web release soon. For the rest of the week, enjoy full photo galleries of the toys I brought!

One last Strike Tortoise built on the old DX Tortoise body also showed up at the Monster Kolor shop for Future Factory. I still need to convert the Strike parts for use on the Mini size. The Strike Tortoise has always been well received, so that’ll happen sooner than later.
Future Factory may be over, but you can still pick up a couple of Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D printed mecha action figures from the Monster Kolor web shop. After that, PRHI will be in full force at Super Robots Giant Monsters in Lowell, MA on March 29!

The 6″ scale Bounce Tortoise came out of hiding for a deployment to the Monster Kolor shop for Future Factory. This guy and his counterpart were not available for sale, but are currently on display at the shop for folks to check out in person. The DX Bounce Tortoise is being heavily revised to improve articulation and ease of assembly, and to match the details of the current Mini design. More on that later, for now let the pics of this camo’d and dusty power armor soak in.

Here’s a trio of micro scale PRHI figures that were released at Future Factory. These guys are in some tried and true vintage Real Type colors, complete with red trim and details. I think there’s going to be more of this scheme on the larger figures in the near future! One of these guys is still available on the Monster Kolor Future Factory Store.

These red and white micro Bounce Tortoises debuted at Future Factory at Monster Kolor. They are a little bit cleaner with a satin finish to break up the matte, weathered look of most of the figures I brought. As of writing this there’s one left on the Monster Kolor web shop.

On January 25th fans of awesome homemade toys descended on the Monster Kolor shop in Middleboro, MA for the first ever Future Factory! Future Factory was a class on making toys using 3D printing hosted by Prometheus rising Studios (me), Brownnoize Productions, and Mechazone. The three of us brought our 3D printers and acetone setup to make toys live at the studio. Participants were able to chose from a stable of designs between the three of us and have the toy printed while they waited. Read on for details about what turned out to be a fantastic afternoon of toy fun!

The PNT-001 Nimble Tortoise is a recon variant based on the Light Tortoise chassis. The jump jet systems have been stripped out, leaving the Light Tortoise a lean and quick ground-based unit. The Nimble Tortoise serves as a recon unit with advanced communications and sensor suites. Armed with dual arm-mounted solid slug rail rifles and a shoulder-mounted beam cannon, the Nimble Tortoise can also serve in a light sniper capacity. This Tortoise was spotted in early spring, still sporting a winterized color scheme that has been heavily stained and weathered by the muddy thaw.

The PST-002 Stalking Toad is a heavy ground combat power suit intended for frontline duty. The Stalking Toad balances armor and mobility, capable of bringing concentrated fire down on enemy armored targets. The default Toad load out features a heavy laser and rapid fire gattling canon with built in manipulator hand for added versatility in its roll as a ground superiority unit. Smoke grenade racks on the torso provide extra cover, earning the standard Toad its ‘Stalking’ moniker for its ability to disappear under smoke cover and reappear with a punishing barrage.
