That time of the year is fast upon us again, when some of Nerd City's best pals and favorite artists get together and create super limited edition collectibles, in the form of art, comics and toys. That time to which I'm referring, of course, is C2E2. Nerd City will be back in The Block, bigger and better than ever, with a great lineup of special guests and awesome exclusives. Although the Nerd City site is always a great place to get all of the latest Nerd city-related news, I wanted to start up this little mini blog as a one-stop point of reference for all of the exclusives at our booth this year. And, I'm set to kick the announcements off with one of my own offerings-
As General Gorgax's elite goons, the Cyborg Space Barbarians are an
essential part of the Galaxxorverse. I love the way that the original
helmet I sculpted came out, and I really enjoy making more
barbarian-style characters, but as the core Galaxxor brand continues to
evolve, I really wanted to move away from them simply being new heads on
old MOTU bodies. My buddy Mike, from Zoloworld,
and I have been chatting about doing some sort of collaborative work
for a while, now. So, it only made sense to look to his awesome Realm of the Underworld
line of vintage-style action figures as a possible base upon which to
re-launch the Cyborg Space Barbarian concept.Originally conceived as a
two-off project for Mike and I to see how the Cyborg Space Barbarian
helmet looked with the Zoloworld barbarian buck, Kromulus got a great
deal of positive feedback from the pictures that I posted online. So, I
decided to do an extremely limited number of these guys as one of my
exclusives for C2E2 this year.
Cyborg Space Barbarian Kromulus is a 5.5" art figure that features a
head sculpted by Ben Spencer, which was then cast in resin by Marty "The Godbeast" Hansen and True Cast Studio. The figure features a custom
painted Zoloworld body, which sports 5 points of articulation. Kromulus
comes with an Omega Matrix Orbs necklace accessory. This figure is
limited to an edition of 3 and they will be $75 each from The Nerd City
booth in The Block at C2E2 (April 24-26 in Chicago, IL).
I will have quite a few more exclusives to announce in the next month or
so, so stay tuned to the Galaxxor blog for all of the latest and
greatest!
