This project has been in the works for a while now and I’m super excited to start showing it off!
A while back after my big run of Knights of the Slice customs, Jesse reached out and offered me the opportunity to design my own character for an official production run. It was such an incredible opportunity and I tried to dig deep through my 80s mecha influences, resulting in the Simulant Stalker, a cyber-enhanced bounty hunter who stalks renegade robots in Harbor Noir. The standard version of the figure will be up for sale tomorrow night at 7:30PM EST from @toypizza
After that, I’ll be debuting a 3D printed accessory set available though the Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries Shapeways store. Then after that I’ll be releasing a custom run of Deluxe figures including the accessories and additional paint work. More details to come, for now make sure you grab a Simulant Stalker (aka the Miniborg) from Toy Pizza tomorrow night! Follow my Instagram for the most up to date news, there will be lots of news this week and goodies to buy!
I was asked by a friend to build and paint a 3D printed kit of the Millennium Falcon cockpit for 6″ Star Wars Black figures he had purchased. The kit is huge and features some key interior elements, but I found the overall detail and finish of the kit left room for improvement. Cut to eight months later and I’d completed the longest and largest project I’ve undertaken since the printed Warlord Titan (which I’ve apparently never posted on here?). Click below for a walk through of the build process, the additional 3D printed parts that I made, and the painting process!
I’ve put together an assortment of weapons for the Bandai SH Figuarts Warhammer 40k Space Marine figure, available now through Shapeways. There are kits for a modular Bolt Rifle with multiple options, pistols, and melee weapons. Each is a kit consisting of multiple items, so please ready all descriptions fully as they contain links to everything you need. If you grab some and kit out your Marine, please send me pics!
It’s been a while since I put up a post here, but anyone who follows me on Instagram knows I’ve been plenty busy making cool new stuff! The 3D printed GI Joe replacement limb game is going strong. I’ve teamed up with Cotswold Collectibles to bring Prometheus Rising Heavy Industries 3D printed goodies to more collectors, starting with the Solid Arm and Solid Leg, redesigned for easier printing and more color, and a movable thumb! (shown above). Keep an eye on IG and the Cotswold Facebook Page for news about the upcoming first release. While I was updating the Solid Limbs I took the opportunity to finish another project I’ve been working on for a few years now, a full 1/6 scale robot figure. I debuted the PRHI 1/6 scale Machine Heart action figure on IG a few weeks back, and now have photo spreads of the first three prototypes.
There’s a new product up on the PRHI Shapeways Shop for customizing your GI Joe 12″ figures! Following on from the PRHI Solid Arm bionic arm kit is the PRHI Solid Leg for getting your wounded Joes back up on their feet! The kit will fit on vintage GI Joes as well as reissues and Costwold Elite Brigade bodies. The Solid Leg consists of a shin, foot, and ankle (the ankle and wrist are the same part). You can order a Solid Leg using the listings in the PRHI Shapeways Shop here. You can also pick up a PRHI Solid Arm using the listings here.
More new 3D printed blasters for your 6″ action figures are up on the PRHI Shapeways Shop! First up is big mac-daddy blaster for the recent Marvel Legends Cable. He comes with a decent over-sized impractical gun already, but mine matches up with the classic Toybiz figure’s ridiculous weapon.
Next up by request are some classic toy blasters. First is the iconic vintage Lazer Tag pistol, which fits larger figures like Cable really well. The grip on this one is real chunky, so I’ll be offering a smaller version for more regular-proportioned 6″ figures soon.
Last is a weapon that needs no introduction. Pick up a Zapper so your figures can light up whatever enemies they face!
A friend of mine told me about an awesome product known as Space Walls, which are unofficial Death Star corridor backdrop segments for use with your Star Wars action figures. The main line is designed for 6″ Star Wars Black scale, and the individual segments look great. Unfortunately, when my friend purchased some Space Walls, they did not come with any sort of connectors to attach the wall segments or help them stand up, which limited their usefulness. He asked me if I could fix this, so I now have four types of PRHI Space Walls Connectors available through my Shapeways Shop. The four types accommodate the two different styles of wall as shown below, plus pieces to help the walls stand, and corner connectors for more intricate displays. You can purchase the connectors now to improve your setups!
Here’s a little for fun item available now in the PRHI Shapeways Shop. I had a request to make a version of my Gonk Droid toy in 25 mm scale for gaming. The mini Gonk is available in Shapeways’ high-detail plastics for use with your minis, but you can also order a teensy weensy baby Gonk in Stainless Steel! Shown above with a vintage Kenner 3 3/4″ Jawa. The detail came out far better than I was expecting, and it makes for a delightful little bit of hand-gokin. Pick up one today from the shop!
There is a whole host of new 3D printed replacement accessories for your vintage robots available now in the PRHI Shapeways Shop. You can now buy replacement shooting fists for all of your Takara Jeeg and Gakeen magnemos, and Mego Micronauts figures such as Baron Karza or Force Commander. Also available are Microman MicroGander replacement fists with and without 5 mm holes to hold accessories, and replacement missiles that will fit in the chest and foot launchers. For you vinyl fans, you can now pick up missiles for your vintage Bandai Missile Fire Vinyls (MFV). You can get regular replacement missiles, or missiles that end in a 5 mm peg so you can add your own custom warheads. For links to each product, read after the cut.
The previous PRHI Gonk Droid 3D printed release was one of my most popular projects. I get so many requests to offer more, but have not had the time to make another batch myself. I finally spent the time to make a version of the PRHI Gonk Droid available through Shapeways. This revised Gonk Droid is sold as a kit in two parts, the body and a leg sprue. This means you can purchase the body printed in a nice bright color, and get the legs in black. You could just block in the face details and have a great looking figure, or go all out and do a fully painted custom. You can order the Gonk Droid now for a total of $60 using the below links to the PRHI Shapeways Store. The kit snaps together with no glue needed, and I am really happy with the fit of the joints.
