I want all of them.
Ashley Wood’s 3A x 2000AD’s ABC Warriors… Ro-Jaws comes to life!
Fans of the British comic magazine 2000AD will surely recognize Pat Mills’s ABC Warriors and the robot Ro-Jaws from it. For those that don’t know, here’s a brief description: The A.B.C. Warriors are a team of war robots designed to withstand Atomic, Biological and Chemical warface and — for the most part — they are free-will wielding droids who find themselves at odds with their human masters. Ro-Jaws, the comic relief robot of the group, has a working-class mentality and spends a lot of his time in the sewer (both literally and figuratively).
So what does this have to do with designer toys? Well, Ashley Wood’s 3A has acquired the license to release the ABC Warriors as limited edition figures… which makes sense, as these creations are right up Wood’s alley! Ro-Jaws will be the first in the line and, at 1/6th scale, he’ll stand a little over 7.5”-tall. The designs arms are articulated and his front panel opens to hide the included 1/6th scale turd in. We’re told that the tires will even have a “squishy” feel to them!Ro-Jaws is set to be released on March 22nd at the Bambaland Online Store, with a retail price of $110. Members of the 3AA fanclub will access to an exclusive Blackhole variant edition, which I’m guessing is based on “The Black Hole” storyline from the comic series. And fans… we’re told that Hammerstein is next on the creation list!
This needs to happen.
Unfortunately it needs a few thousand votes and it currently only has a few dozen. Get voting Squaxx or it’ll not come to pass.
Credit for this goes to fan Kevin Levell, who did this as a commission. ECBT2000AD posted a coloured version:
Nemesis the warlock beautiful(&cute-as!)figures made by a guy called Pete Fowler.
I want one!!
Massive dream come true this one. If I’d have known this as a kid reading 2000AD I would’ve died!
Sneak peeks at the 2 Nemesis figures I’ve designed for the wonderful Togetherplus! Will post more about this as it’s just had it’s first showing at the toy fair.
Deep bow to all involved and BIG shout out to Mr Pat Mills and all 2000AD peeps!
And in the sidebar he adds a detail or two:
it’s scheduled for release in April I believe through Unbox/TogetherPlus
On th right you can see the arm of the Judge Death we showed earlier. The photograph was taken at the London Toy Fair 2012 - you can read a report here.
More news as we get it.
Wait, this is on the Togetherpus Twitter feed:
received a bunch of unexpected variant Nemeses (had to look the plural up!) for @themonsterist x @2000AD collab..looking tasty!
!!!!!!
!!!!!! indeed.
A better view of that Judge Death plush doll.
This is from We Are Tado (we reblogged from their Tumblr in the previous post) and has been in the pipeline since 2008, based on a design that appeared in the Zarjaz! exhibition back in 2005!! They should be available at Kapow.
It has been a long wait, but looks worth it.
Piggle looks death right in the eye….. And pokes him with a wooden spoon!
A reminder of why Judge Death is one of the scariest opponents Dredd has ever face, I mean… look at his ickle face.
