Galaxxor 014 C2E2 2015 Exclusive

 When General Gorgax unlocked the cosmic powers of the Omega Matrix, Infiniton of the Seven Space Gods tasked Galaxxor 014 to take an elite team of Hippo Titan Soldier Deep Warp Gunners to the digital city C2-E215 to battle Gorgax and his Cyborg Space Barbarian minions. The fate of the Galaxxorverse hangs in the balance of this epic conflict!
The head of Galaxxor 014 is a new addition to our library of bits and its design goes back to a weekend I spent hanging out and sculpting at True Cast Studio a couple of years ago. Being a 40K fan, I always loved the look of the Eldar, and wanted to create something that called back to their iconic pointy helms, but that would also blend into the more bulky proportions of the Galaxxor buck. Somewhere along the way, a little bit of my love of late 80's/early 90's McFarlane art crept in there, as well. Marty "The Godbeast" Hansen and the boys at True Cast Studio really knocked it out of the proverbial park with the color of the translucent smoke resin base. In low light, it comes off as a super glossy dark gray, but in high light, it appears to be almost clear. I've always dug clear toys. There's something so cool to me about being able to see their inner workings through the material. I feel like Galaxxor 014 has a bit of that magic.
Galaxxor 014 is a 5.5" art toy that was designed and sculpted by Ben Spencer and engineered and produced in translucent smoke resin by The Godbeast and True Cast Studio. Galaxxor 014 was hand painted by Ben Spencer. He features 3 points of articulation at the arms and head.
Limited to an edition of 5, Galaxxxor 014 will be $90 each and will exclusively be available at Nerd City's booth #760 at C2E2.

Mini Galaxxors and Megakeshi Galaxxor Prototypes Drop 11.19.13

http://galaxxor.bigcartel.com/product/megakeshi-galaxxor-1-1-prototype-in-pink-flesh 
Although things have been relatively quiet, as of late, in the Galaxxorverse, a good bit of stuff has been going on behind the scenes. Thanks mostly in part to my friends The Godbeast and the rest of the gang at True Cast Studio (which I recently had the chance to visit!), the next evolution of Galaxxor is in the works! The original sculpt has been greatly refined (courtesy of the mighty Josh Edwards), and there have been leaps and bounds made, in terms of producing the figures in a keshi-style rubber. As a result, I have a few 1/1 prototype Megakeshi 5.5" Galaxxors (each with 3 interchangeable heads, including one by the mighty Matt Doughty!), as well as a large selection of 2" Mini Galaxxors (sculpted and cast by none other than The Godbeast, himself!). Some of these pieces are suuuuper rare, and you'll have your chance to score them for your very own on 11.19.13 at noon CST.

Each of these Megaksehi Galaxxor prototypes is one of a kind, cast in keshi-style rubber, features 3 points of articulation (head and arms) and includes 3 interchangeable heads. They will be $90 a piece.

Each Mini Galaxxor will be $17 a piece. Swirled colorways will obviously vary in appearance, due to the randomness of the swirled resin. Apologies for the sort of shitty pics of the little dudes, it was my first go at really trying to photograph mini figures.
Be sure to hit up The Galaxxor Online Store at noon on 11.19.13 to score all of this Galaxxorverse goodness!

Megakeshi Galaxxor!

The future is here! My friends, Josh Edwards and The Godbeast at True Cast Studio have been hard at work refining and retooling original Galaxxor sculpt into something a bit sharper and more polished, which also incorporates a new True Cast-engineered articulation/part interchangeability system. The result is essentially a Galaxxor 2.0 design, which, while maintaining all of the visual design of the original, takes the sculpt to the next proverbial level. And speaking of taking things to another level, I now have the ability, through True Cast, to have Galaxxor produced in a keshi-style rubber. I've dubbed the format "Megakeshi", because it incorporates the look and feel of those old M.U.S.C.L.E.-type figures that we all loved, but maintains that classic 5.5" MOTU-type scale. Pictured above is a figure that utilizes the Galaxxor head sculpted by the one and only Matt Doughty, and below is a new head, courtesy of True Cast's Josh Edwards. We will also still be doing the standard dome, Cyborg Space Barbarian, and Gorgax heads. All of these will incorporate the new, interchangeable joint system.

If you're anything like me, you're just dying to get one of these giant hunks of rubber into your hands. Your first chance is going to be at this year's New York Comic Con. Although I'm unfortunately not going to be able to make the show, my partner in crime, The Godbeast, as well as The other True Cast gang will have at least a couple of these dudes for you to play around with at Onell Design's booth #102. 
There's quite a bit of exciting stuff coming down the cosmic pipe from the Galaxxorverse in the upcoming months, including an opportunity to score some of these Megakeshi figures for your very own.
Stay tuned!
