Arbuthnot Wince  – The Poisoner –

It was originally supposed that Mechtorians could not be harmed by the effects of poison due to their mechanical nature. However Arbuthnot accidentally discovered the unusual side effects from application of small amounts of toxic venom distilled from the spittle of his pet, an indigenous beast he called Rupture. He discovered that his unsuspecting fellow robots could indeed be paralysed for prolonged periods of time. So like the state of death was this paralysis that he was concerned his victims would be buried or dismantled in error. He continues to research and stockpile poisons for his own entertainment. One day he may even use them…

Series 2 of the Android toys is out in March and Doktor A has a Rupture design in the set. And this time he will be easily available to all, not a super rare “Chase” likt the previous Rupture toy. Drop on over to Andrew Bells Dyzplastics website for details on the whole range.

The first Mooncalf review is up on Toys R Evil.
http://toysrevil.blogspot.com/2011/02/toy-review-humphrey-mooncalf.html

“The figure is a well desirable product distinguishable amongst a sea of urban – not just because it is a distinctively a Doktor-A-design, but because it is so well made, and one of the better made figures I have ever seen in a long, long time.”

Stay absolutely tuned to http://toysrevil.net/ for awesomeness 🙂

Some studio shots of the Verdegris edition Mooncalf.

Humphrey Mooncalf had a reoccurring problem with his Travithick No. 4 Nano-clockwork brain.
Repeated trips to the watch-smith proved a great success.
The pain held at bay by loosening his cranial rivets.
This however means that he can no longer look up.
Such a shame, as he does so love the moon.

Coming VERY soon from Singapore based Pobber Toys as part of their “Clumsy Monster” range.
Humphry Mooncalf is a rotomolded Mechtorian vinyl figure standing 8″ tall.
He has a removeable cranium and brain as well as a key and articulated neck joint.
Shown above is the “Verdegris” version. One of several different edition which will be available.

More info soon.
