A couple of months ago I backed a Kickstarter campaign for a comic book - now I'm not usually into comics, but there was something about this one that caught my eye...

It was the combination of the loose style and 80's vibe that attracted me; the whole thing looked like an insane brainstorming session at a little rubber guy factory. It didn't seem right that this stuff only existed in 2D, so something had to be done...

A strange mash up of pig and He-Man character, a monkey wielding a pair of sais and an alien wrestler? This, to me, is what gum-ball vending machine dreams are made of!

 

So I approached the guys running the campaign and they put me in contact with the artist, who sent the pink/blue/green character artwork for me to use a reference for doing a test run of figures - and the sculpts are slowly taking place...

The figures are all approximately 2 inches in height, slightly larger than my previous LRG-style sculpts.

Wibble, you are our under-cover artist at LRG!

I always forget that you create things until you drop bombs like this on us. Great work!

It's been nearly 2 years since I last posted (busy with work stuff and studying for an engineering degree) but I've finally remembered to upload a pic of the finished pieces!
