Robotic Industries – Dr. Brain

Dr-Brain2

Dr. Brain designed by Robotics Industries (Jim Freckingham) is the first vinyl project from the newly formed UK-based Raje Toys founded by Richard Emms, Adam Boreham, Jim Freckingham and Eddie Deighton.  The concept for the upcoming 7.5” vinyl figure was first seen in one of Jim’s custom Munnys.   It’s a little hard to tell in the above render, but the figure will have a translucent clear tank containing the ever-important-brain.  The figure is expected to drop in May for $59.95 and will be available in two colorways – standard (450 pcs) and chase (50 pcs).

Dr. Brain is the first figure to use Raje’s platform-ish body concept.  The ‘body’ will serve as the basis or starting point for several upcoming artist projects.  Some projects including Doktor A’s Gyroscopic Non-Ornamental Mechanised Excavator (GNOME) will swap out some of the standard parts in lieu of design-specific ones.  Very cool idea which balances artistic and business concerns.

Here’s a hearty welcome to Raje Toys.  We’re looking forward to their upcoming lineup.

Muffinman’s Clamshell’s Soup Bramble WWRp Custom

bramblereveal1

We’ve seen a few impressive WWR customs, but this Bramble WWRp custom by Muffinman from the ThreeA forums is probably the best yet.  First off, the can of soup ‘joke is great and works perfectly.  Second and perhaps equally importantly is the executation.  An idea can be great but it’s just that if the execution is lacking.  Not here at all.  From the ‘surgery’ to the paint – this one looks like a weathered can of soup off to wage battle.  Awesome – so much so that you might be fooled into thinking it’s a special production edition.

Shawnimals – Wee Devil Action Pen (3.20)

IPFP001_dispIPFP001_A

Shawnimals is well on its way to being a full-fledged brand (if it isn’t already). In addition to toys, there’s been a DS video game, zipper pulls and now Floaty pens.  The Wee Devil Action pen featuring a gang of Wee Devils that move towards the wise Ol’ Master Ninja (hence the ‘action’)  is the 1st pen from Squibble Ink’s Inked Pulp line will go on sale Saturday, March 20th from Rotofugi and other select retailers @ $5.95.  The pens were manufactured by Eskesen A/S, the Original Floating Action Pen company.   So if you’re sick of that generic disposable pen, this might be for you.

Final Countdown – Little Shadow from Ashley Wood and 3A

shadowsale
It’s the final countdown… (the only reason I even know who ‘Europe’ is…).  Ashley Wood and ThreeA’s Little Shadow 1:6 figure drops @ 6 PM Pacific tonight (3.18) exclusively from the Bambaland for $80.   The big news with these new pictures is the inclusion of Little Shadow’s Skullboom accessory  which Ash describes as small tactical nuke on the ThreeA Production blog.    Little Shadow is the second Adventure Kartel figure following Tommy (in the background above) and also packs Cleopatra’s Fist for dispatching her foolish foes.
