Zartep the Despoiler and his Scarabite Automaton Legion

  

Metallic clangs echoed out as Zartep's boots walked across the obsidian glass-like surface of the planet Duat. How long had he been here?

Had it been centuries?

He truthfully didn't know. He hadn't been aware of the passage of time for as long as he could recall. He was only aware of the swirling, multicolored, bio-mechanical ebb and flow of the dimension he had found himself in. It had changed him. It flowed through him. And it flowed into his legion of Scarabite Automaton Cyborg Space Barbarians.

One hundred rows of one hundred Scarabite warriors stood before him, silent and lifeless, except for the glow of their eyes. Zartep looked up into the undulating chaos of the sky above to a single black slit. He returned his gaze to his legion.

"Today, my children, conquest begins!"

 

Enter the Space Wizard!

This new, double sided production head is a continuation of "Phase 2" of the Galaxxorverse. Words cannot express how pleased I am with how it came out! My buddy, Jarrod, of Wednesday Toys once again absolutely killed it with the digital sculpting on my new head design and I'm once again honored to add his work to the official production Galaxxor mix.

Zartep the Despoiler will be available for purchase on 01.11.18 at 8pm Central from galaxxor.com. As with the other Glyos-compatible Galaxxor vinyl figures, Zartep/Scarabite Automaton will come with both the Space Wizard and the Cyborg Space Barbarian head, for a total of three  display/character options. They will be $30 each.

As the Galaxxorverse begins to expand further and further into the weirdness, I want to thank each and every one of you for being along for the ride. We've only just begun!

The Battle Begins- 08.22.16 at 8pm Central

It has been 100 years since the great cosmic robot hero, Galaxxor, was killed.
Slain by the dreaded Lord Gorgax with a planet sized weapon known as The Ultimate Nullifier Cannon, the physical being of our robot hero was splintered into 999 shards, each flung to the far reaches of the pocket dimension known as The Alpha. Almost immediately, a glowing green shell formed around the home of The Seven Space Gods, the crystalline planet, Alpha Primarus.
Over the past 100 years, Gorgax, his elite cadre of Cyborg Space Barbarian henchmen, and their Evil Mutant Legion has wreaked havoc upon the countless worlds of The Alpha. Some planets have held strong, but others have fallen to darkness and chaos.
But there is hope.
The neon shell that has surrounded Alpha Primarus has disappeared, and brilliant explosions of cosmic power are appearing at random locations, throughout The Alpha. In places like the giant blue sun, Anubis 5, and the hive world known as "Dragon City", new Galaxxors are appearing.
On 08.22.16, the battle begins!

It's been a long road to the full realization of this first batch of fully painted Galaxxor figures, from Galaxxor 001 and 007 to that bad, bad dude Gorgax, I'm truly unable to express just how excited I am about how nicely these figures came out. Even the "alt" characters, the Cyborg Space Barbarians Thanyr and Infernicus, and that mysterious entity known as "Roxxalag" blow my mind every time I pick them up and play around with them.
Hopefully, these guys are indicators to you of all of the fun and weirdness that we have in store for the future. It's going to be a crazy ride. Thanks for coming along with me!

Cyborg Space Barbarian Kromulus C2E2 2015 Exclusive from Galaxxor x Zoloworld

 

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.

 

 

So, as opposed to using disused vintage figures for the bodies, the Kromulus figures will feature brand new Zoloworld bucks, which are then hand painted. They will feature 5 points of articulation, at the shoulders, waist and legs. Please let me know if this is something that you'd like to see more of in the future. I'd really like to work with Zoloworld some more, and it might be a cool opportunity to get some top quality Cyborg Space Barbarians into the hands of more collectors.

 

 

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!
