Mazinger Z: Aphrodite A 15-inch action figure by ThreeZero

-          Aphrodite A stands 15 inches tall.
-          Highly detail mechanic parts.
-          Incredibly paint application to highlight all the details with weathering effect. incredibly what?
-          Fully possible figure. posable? only possible if you have $290 to spend!
-          Articulating fingers.
-          Electable breast missiles. (!!!) I think they mean "ejectable" but I'd vote for them...
-          Lights up eyes, cockpit and both afterburner on her backpack.

All typos aside, this figure looks amazing. Hit me up if you want one. I can only order these if I have minimum 3 committed customers. And by that I mean, preorder and pay up front in full. Will ship free within the US via Fedex.

Vulkira 8-inch Vinyl Toy Robot figure on Kickstarter

Eric Smith (fullblownink.com) channeled his influences and interests into creating Vulkira, his first designer vinyl toy concept. Vulkira is 8" tall and was inspired by Eric's favorite giant Japanese robots.

Vulkira™ will be produced by Unbox Industries. If all goes well with this project, Eric plans to produce a 24" vintage jumbo style Vulkira in the future.

Limited to 300 pieces with a Shogun Warriors colorway, Vulkira will stand 8" and will have 3 points of articulation as well as removable fists and drill and missile launcher attachments.

Sounds f#cking awesome. Just backed it. You should too:

Kaiju Kaos StratoMaxx Kickstarter is live!

Kaiju Kaos StratoMaxx Kickstarter

Acheson Creations and Bailey Records announce that their latest Kickstarter project, Kaiju Kaos: Super Robot StratoMaxx, is now live! Check the video:




“When dreaming up Kaiju Kaos in late 2009, I had four core colossal characters in mind; three were kaiju and the fourth was the heroic Super Robot designed to combat the menacing monsters. As time passed, we’ve released numerous kaiju but the robot kept getting pushed to the back of pile… until now! The primary goal of this Kickstarter is to fund Super Robot StratoMaxx.”

"It is my hope that this resin model kit will appeal to both the gaming community that birthed Kaiju Kaos and also the designer toy community that has embraced many of my other creations.” 

BACKGROUND: StratoMaxx is inspired by classic Super Robot designs such as Mazinger Z, Gigantor, UFO Robot Grendizer, and Mattel’s Shogun Warriors. The figure also takes on some characteristics from Transformers and Voltron.

DETAILS: Super Robot StratoMaxx stands roughly 13 inches tall and has a 6 inch diameter integral base. The jetpack wings are 7 inches from tip to tip.

WEAPONS: A secondary goal of this project is to fund the materials needed to create sci-fi stylized weaponry. These 28mm (1:56) scale weapons can be used as arm attachments on StratoMaxx and can also be used to convert toy/model vehicles into a more “futuristic” design for use in playing Kaiju Kaos – The Miniatures Game. Each design is handmade by Bryan K Borgman (aka Stratos) and ready to hand cast in a durable urethane plastic by Craig Acheson.

"Your support will enable us to take these new designs and put them into production. Lastly, as the Kickstarter video suggests, if we reach our goal, we have a variety of Stretch Goals in mind including new kaiju and other Super Robot designs for some rock’em, sock’em, robot-fighting goodness!"
