After finally overcoming a technological rebellion perpetrated by our computer and camera,
Custom Corps 3 finally rolls out! This is a very special edition, bringing together two worlds that have pretty strange characters running around. Mori Katsura's central creature from his
Real X Head brand is the ever changing hero Chaos. With the ability to "sample" living organisms, Chaos has been presented in many different forms. For this Custom Corps Mori and I wanted to continue our crossover which began with the creation of Pheyaos. With the assistance of the artistic powerhouse known as Lamour Supreme, the Chaos Trooper was born. Lamour and I sculpted the first version of the Chaos Trooper head and Probe Arm together, both of us infusing our admiration for Mori into those little parts. After getting approval from the main man in Japan we set to creating the molds. Huge thanks go out to master mold maker Ron Daley for building some killer molds to unleash the Chaos Troopers. With the molds ready to go, I went nuts at the shop and cast parts like crazy over a few weeks. To spice things up I also ran some older molds to round out the assortment, even resurrecting some sidelined head designs (Michelle's original design for Noboto).
The first wave of images are a portion of the clear stuff; pictures of the painted stuff will start popping up overnight and into tomorrow. This is due to having to take all the pictures again (bad bad camera). One last shout out to Don "Datadub" Kratzer for making sure that we covered all the bases and for keeping the lines of communication completely clear.
To Mori, Joel, Don, Michelle, Ron, Marc, Jesse, Megan and to all of you, thanks so much for making this Custom Corps a reality.

Awesome clear colorways so far, Matt! Can't wait to see what the painted stuff looks like...
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your hard work and wonderful toys! This looks like an excellent drop.
ReplyDeleteHey today is Mori's Birthday! (Already Feb 1 over here) What a cool way to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteWhat about limits? I know the tentative number was five but does that still stand? I didn't want anyone to start ordering for themselves and other people only to realize that someone isn't getting their stuff.
ReplyDeleteCOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! Wicked stuff, Matt! Keep on keepin on, man!!!
ReplyDeleteYahoo! Awesome stuff!
ReplyDeleteLet's keep it at 5 to start with, we have sold through 120 so far. Thanks for the great response!
ReplyDeleteso so cool... I had to stop myself from ordering 3... sadly at $25 a piece (though worth it) I had to stay at 2. but I love how they look so far
ReplyDeletenobotos mk1 looks a little like spider-man...
man.. I hope I get a probe arm!
120 already? And that was in the first hour?
ReplyDeleteEgad, man! I'm willing to have that limit knocked back down to four and forfeit one of mine, if it means you won't have to slave away at making these blasted things for another two weeks!
Seriously, congrats again on a successful, if not entirely crazy wave! Hats off to the Onell team and associates for producing yet another fine run of figures!
Lots of translucents and lots of variety make for an exciting wave. Thanks, Matt and the rest of Onell Design for slogging it out in the trenches for us. Now go sleep...
ReplyDeleteThe count is now at 175. Good Lord. Time to start the dyeing process tonight! Thanks again you guys!
ReplyDeleteMatt, only if you promise us that you will sleep at some point. Please. At least consider rolling the window back to late Monday at some point, if that's what it takes...
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the hard work you put into this stuff, Matt. It's your dream, and lemme tell ya, it shows.
Seriously, though. Sleep. Consider it sometime, m'man.
Happy Birthday, Mori!
ReplyDeleteThanks to both Matt and
Mori (and Lamour Supreme
for sculpting the Chaos
parts) for making this
Custom Corps release such
a blast. All the figures
in the photos posted are
amazing!
These all look so delicious, like expensive gummmy candies...!
ReplyDeleteI sat on the sidelines through all of the other CC waves, but I had to buy on this one (Chaos, Govi and LSA!!!), kinda expensive for my budget but I know how much of yourself you put into these. Thank you for everything!! They look great so far. Preston bought his own, I think he is your biggest fan.
ReplyDeleteDon't kill yourself making the extras get some rest, we can wait a little longer.
Congrats on another awesome yet maddening release Matt. The finger pain and dyed sacrafices you make for us is VERY much aapreciated. The clears look amazing in themselves. Cant wait for you to regroup and put the other pics up. I too hope I get Chaos with a probe arm. But will love them all the same :)Great Job everyone involved and THANK YOU! Formanchies for all!
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking release Matt! Thanks again for all the hard work you do for us fans! I hope you have as much fun making these guys, as we do buying 'em up! Hope you can get some rest after all 300 of these guys ship out! (Hope it doesn't actually get that high.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for restocking the Build Station!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the painted ones:) The first shots of the green and red were really cool;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Matt on this crazy drop. Simply stunning. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the count up to today Matt?
ReplyDeleteJust wondering are you putting up the pix for the painted figs tonight?
ReplyDeleteGod bless him, Matt's probably busy making more figures.
