With regards to our toy production, I now find myself in a somewhat unfamiliar position.
Usually, we're racing to get our latest piece out ahead of our next show.
But our next show was delayed for a year! We have a November show, and then and our next show after that was cancelled as well.
So now we've got a great new toy and no where to show it off!
Well, not nowhere.
Here.
I have a great new toy and I can show it off here.
@ajroach42 collected con NY in September maybe?
@MannycartoonStudio probably too late to get a table and arrange travel,
@ajroach42 that is a cool toy. Can you say more about it?
@maxoakland Sure!
We make action figures, injection molded at our workshop in north GA. We use a plastic that was developed to be environmentally sustainable, easy to recycle, and PVC free.
This action figure is Kumiai-ki, the mighty labor union mech.
I've written a lot about this guy, especially over on @MountainTownToys
Here's some words I wrote about it: https://www.mountaintowntoys.com/kumiai-ki-the-mighty-union-machine/
and here's a long thread about it: https://retro.social/@MountainTownToys/116967034143141708

@ajroach42 it is by far the piece I am most proud of our execution on, besides being my favorite character story arc, and it definitely feels weird not to be in a crowded room somewhere hyping the heck out of it haha
@ajroach42 Do your toys have motors or talk in any way? I love toys.
@NicksWorld None of our current crop of toys have speakers or motors.
They are, however hand made by me.
@ajroach42 Now that's awesome! Robots can be a lot of fun. So you make action figures?
@NicksWorld among other things!
