This metallic purple has definitely become one of my personal favorites (paying homage to Shockwave). It looks quite different under various light sources, making it pretty tough to accurately represent in photos. What I've done is taken some shots in the Block Hangar with the regular light set up as well as some outside pics in natural lighting. Beneath the studio glow the purple just pops, with a crisp hue. When you go outside, the color dulls considerably, and the detail lines start to show in an interesting way. It's pretty neat to watch, but Michelle is getting a little sick of me going in and out of the house so many times to watch the color do its thing.
I guess I should just stand by the window.

You have snow there? I'm jealous. I want to take my toys out in the snow and play, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, and, the purple Gobon looks great, too.
Dreams can come true.......Ha ha! Don't know how you keep outdoing your self, Matt but you do. Friday can not come soon enough!
ReplyDeleteYou know, Matt, each time you post pictures of Buildman Gendrones with Axis Joints, the more I start to wonder if you really were putting us all on and were designing them at the same time. There's just a flawless integration there that can't readily be explained.
ReplyDeleteStill, you'll understand if I stick with making Phaseon and Gobon builds. It's hard to start working with the Buildman when there's already a master who seems to have done it all! Hah!
Thanks Roy, I'm happy you like those combinations. I love what you do with the parts in general as well, especially the Gobon Builds. Your latest Phaseon combos are looking excellent!
DeleteI've been obsessed with making "contained" builds for a while now. I love the challenge of trying to make something work within set limitations.
Of course I still love to just go bananas and make crazy stuff as well!
Matt?? Obsessed??? Who Knew??
Delete} ;-)>
I'm learning about that whole "contained" idea, albeit very slowly. I think I'd be okay if I weren't so dang dependent on that Phase Arm nozzle piece -- it's my undoing for parts economy!
DeleteBy the way, when will we ever see some of your Gobon builds again? Talk about excellence...
Matt, you want my BankruptcY ! i just have a baby but The real baby i' m I....

ReplyDeleteJust how many Blocks were used to build that backdrop? And will you be selling Blocks in bundles of 20? I need more Blocks!
ReplyDelete60 for these shots Phil! More for what's coming up!
Deleteput me down for a 60 pack as well please.
DeleteThe metallic purple is definitely an improvement over the metallic green from the last drop. I'm planning on grabbing a few bits to work out a build with some trans-purple parts, too.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the only figures I've bought so far are white/clear Gendrones, I am seriously excited over these.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention violet is a favourite colour of mine!
Only 60?
ReplyDeleteI hopr tho keep 2of them...time of selling? I will set the allarm clok
Outstanding color combo. Both the purple/yellow and the grey/orange are amazing. I am certainly looking forward to his drop on friday. Any idea what time it's gonna hit?
ReplyDeleteYou have snow down there? I have yet to see a good amount of snow. It snowed here the other day for like 2 hours then rain. I will be emailing you...
ReplyDelete"Sure, I'll order a few figures," I thought. Then you posted the purple pics. Crap. I'm going to need dozens of these guys for character builds.
ReplyDeleteAnd the blocks -- I'm still waffling between a couple until I've played with them, or a gross.

NICE colorway Matt! We haven't had a flake of snow all winter so far, Beth & I are also a little jealous lol. I think Canne'borg is getting an upgrade with metallic purple parts in place of the dark blue ones he already has. This is going to be a really great drop.
ReplyDeletemetallic purple... just fantastic... I'm going broke on friday
ReplyDeleteFriday can not come soon enough. I WAS going to buy a bunch of the black and orange stuff and go build crazy with that, but now I might need everything in that fantastic purple instead. I need more money!
ReplyDeleteOh snap, love anything TF related and a Shockwave homage is a guaranteed wallet stabber...looking forward to another great launch!
