My first Japanese produced Mechtorian toy is launching on March 23rd. With a different edition following each week after that.
“Tiffanyblue” is the first release on the 23rd, at 11:59 p.m. (JST). After that, the second edition will be on March 30th and the third on April 6th at the same time, but the specifications of the figure (the color of the finish) will not be revealed until the day before it’s release.
There are 40 pieces of each edition being produced. Five each for AP and PP, and the remaining 30 will be sold online. All of them will come with a resin bonus miniature accessory in the style of the space pistol that was used in the 1956 Sci-Fi Classic, “Forbidden Planet.” Thomas can be made to hold it.
November saw Kidrobot launch series 2 of Mechtorians collectible mini figures.
This is a huge thing for me.
Since the original series was launched back in 2006 I have been working to get a sequel series released.
Over the years I have gone down several development paths with several companies. All of which ended for one reason of another with nothing released.
But last year the mighty Kidrobot stepped up and offered to usher more mini Mechtorians into the world.
And what a stunning job they have done!
I could not be happier with the results!
The figures are wonderful..
On December the 3rd at 6pm UK time my AP full sets will go on sale via my online store.
Each set of 14 characters comes individually signed and numbered.
They are housed in a point-of-sale display box such as you would find in a store.
In addition, each set comes with a mini print featuring line work for the figures in the series. This print is exclusive to this AP set.
There will be 20 sets available.
Each set is £250 (shipped).
The blindboxed 3″ tall vinyl characters are also available now from Kidrobot direct as well as all their stockists worldwide.
Look for them wherever Kidrobot toys are sold.
Tit for tat – Hat. Get ahead! Get a hat! In this case literally. In Mechtoria any object from a building to an item of clothing may in fact be a sentient person with their own opinions and desires. So putting together a harmonious outfit may take on an entirely different meaning.
For Designer Con I have created a very limited hand painted edition of just 10 pieces of each of the three new Tall Titfer characters.
Each figure comes with a real solid cast metal key.
There is the Teal Topper, Emerald Bowler and Red Fez.
Each will be only $50.
A small number will be available on Preview night.
The rest will be open for sale at the main door time.
Any remaining after the show will be offered online.
The Artists Proofs of my recent 8″ Dunny with Kidrobot will go on sale on my webstore tomorrow Monday 27th August at 6pm UK time.
Each AP is signed and numbered on the underside of the foot and will come with a small glass jar containing “Spare Parts” for the clockwork brain..
£125 each shipped.
Sunday Best edition of 12 APs.
Ritzy Red edition of 8 APs.
The popular 2.5″ tall resin Mechtorian figure Blinky Allsop will be released in a new hand painted colourway especially for ToyArt in Leeds.
The show exclusive edition of only 5 pieces.
£50 each.
All lovingly hand made in England, each piece has it’s own winding key, is signed & numbered and comes in carded bag packaging.
An industrious and mischievous little fellow. Blinky is able to turn his hand (or rather his prehensile mustache) to just about anything. Though he has never really got to grips with Macramé.
August the 10th sees the release of my latest 8″ Dunny with Kidrobot.
Travithick’s Cognition Enhancement Engine
Brains are the latest thing! Nanoclockwork is taking the world by storm. Super fast and super compact. The ultimate in cognitive engineering. A must have item for any Mechtorian undergoing a re-fit, to bring them into the new information age. Ronson Travithick found a way to create super miniaturised clockwork mechanisms and employed them as the perfect system to generate brains. A thousand times more complex, faster and smarter than the previous system of pulleys and levers installed in most Mechtorian heads. Combining this with some patented Teslastein Static Injectors, enhances the process even further.
Sporting a clear head enclosing a transparent brain with inserted electrodes, this is my most complex Dunny to date.
He will be releasing on Friday, August 10th on www.kidrobot.com at 10:00am MST.
He will also be available from all Kidrobot retailers worldwide. And I will have a small number of APs available very soon.
P.S. (There is also an exclusive Kidrobot edition…)
