Ashley Wood x 3A – WWRp Large Martins (2.18.10)

ironp

Ashley Wood and 3A seemingly never rest.  They’re frenetic – working on new untold toys, announcing upcoming releases – all the time. The next big release features the next WWR bot to get the 1:12 WWRp treatment – the Large Martin.  These are dropping at 4:59 PM PDT on Thursday, February 18th 2010 from Bambaland.

As far as we know here’s how the various Bambaland exclusive sets break down.  First there are three 3-packs featuring 1 Large Martin, 1 Damn Large Martin (two guns), and 1 RPG Bramble (such as Phobos shown below).  Each of these three packs will be available for $130.  There’s also a 3×3 pack ($350) featuring all nine figures + a bonus 1:12 Blanc De Plume (the original 1:6 is a Holy Grail of sorts for Ashley Wood collectors).  Finally, 3AA members will be able to purchase a special Nightwatch, Daywatch, DIY Damn Large Martin three-pack.

Final notes – if you’re counting you’ll note that there are more than 3 different large martin WWRp types shown after the jump.  That’s because some of the pics are of editions that will be in the Bambaland packs while others are apparently retailer exclusives.  Also, as with many pre-release 3A pics, most of the Large Martins shown here are not final – they are missing their decals [Sources: ThreeA production blog and Gimbat’s 3A news updates).

Marka27 – Mini-Gods @ Toy Fair 2010

6_DSCN1763

(VINYLPULSE) Bic Plastics showcased Marka27’s Mini-Gods at Toy Fair 2010 with MG3 Japan Ninja which we revealed last week.  They also revealed the brand-new 6” mini Mini-Gods. That’s right a double dose of Mini-Gods.

The new MG3 represents the latest in Givers of Divine Sound technology with two working speakers, USB + mini-jack connectors, a rechargeable battery and AC adapter.  As seen in our previous post, the Japan design is based on the shape and contour of Taiko drums while the deco of this edition  is inspired by garb of the legendary assassins.

From the new to the brand spankin’ new.  The mini Mini-Gods pack the aesthetic and sound of the original into a more compact form. “Mini” only in comparison to their big brothers, the new figures stand 6” tall and in case you’re wondering have a working speaker.   Two of the new smaller Mini-Gods were shown at the BIC booth – Asia (gold and red, below) and Japan (shown above in solid black).  Drawing on Buddhist inspirations, the 6” Asia design looks ‘divine’.  This new smaller line opens up the Mini-Gods to new collectors and new spaces.  Exciting.

Ferg’s Misfortune Cat is Back in Black (2.22)

misfortune_cat_black_2

It’s been a spell since Playge dropped the first white edition of Ferg’s Misfortune cat.  Collectors have been waiting on the two black editions for quite a while.  The wait comes to an end this Monday (2.22, 10 AM PDT) with the release of the black (‘n red) Misfortune cat (ed. of 150, 9”) for $85 from the Playge web shop.  Class release comes with a velvet bag (dust! what dust?).

While we’re convinced that Neko Cats have become the new bunny or is that the new monkey, this playful and a bit twisted take wins us over.  Not to mention the luscious clear read accents – eyes and tongue.  Since the world is always about “next”, we’re wondering when the black + green edition is coming.
