For the last three months I have been working away, putting this series of unique customised Janky characters together.
I have pushed the detail levels usually found on a 3.5″ figure. Adding tons of idiosyncratic, character building stuff. The inclusion of many props help add story to reach piece.
The Airship Factory in Retropolis has many moving parts and many skilled craftsmen. Each doing their part to create the large sky bound Mechtorians that float about the city.
The series includes eight unique hand crafted customised vinyl figures. Each built on a Janky mini figure vinyl toy made by Superplastic.
No resin casting multiples have been used. Each piece of each figure down to the last individual rivet has been carefully chosen, crafted and hand placed.
It makes this mini series something really special.
From Left to right : The Painter. The Technician. The Draughtsman. The Mill Owner. The Electrician. The Engineer. The Assembler. The Clockworker.
The series will be available to purchase from my online store at 6pm (UK time) on Wednesday September the 30th.
Each figure is £200 and comes in a foam lined presentation box with their own accessories.
With his lightning bolt tash, throw switch and chest dial he cuts a radical form. Heavy duty goggles and boots round out the industrial look. Comes with a set of two electrode poles with a transparent electrical arc.
