New Assignment

We have something prepared for this Sunday, November 30th at 9:30PM EST to complete our releases for 2014. Task Force Volkriun will be returning, this time in the form of the Volkriun Space Force (featuring a new shade of green from the same Pappysoup inspired color family as the original 2012 assortment). This wave will also see an expansion of the PMS Cool Gray 7C PVC across all the Accessory Set selections, allowing some direct backwards compatibility with the last Tracker, Rig Crew and Crayhunter waves (it's a good compliment to Glyaxia as well).

We wanted to close out the year with a little variety, so green and gray (Gundam MSV props) are not the only colors on deck.

One important point of interest is that the new Armorvor head is still in the retooling stage, as getting the mold just right has been one of the more challenging things I've personally rumbled with since we started full production. What this means is that there will be no new Armorvors until the mold modifications are nailed down completely. Currently, the earliest planned release is for late January 2015, with our first assortment of the new year. It seems that the old wolf head was not very pleased with our decision to replace its furry noggin. I have been documenting the entire process, and as promised in earlier posts, I would like to share the high strangeness that has been this project with all of you as we roll into December. Hopefully when you see this new head, the wait will have been worth it.

More pics and the list will be popping up soon!

    I like this iteration of the green even better! It feels smooth on the eyes, very clean and robotic. Definitely has the feel of a space force, when the last one was a planetary group.

    This drop is a dream come true! Especially with that rig in the background!

    This colorway is awesome, can't wait to see what else is on tap! I love the green and my son (the Gundam Fanatic) is hyped about the MSV reference. Are we going to see swing joints in grey and green? I was just saying the other night that it would be nice to have some grey swing joints.

      Also, is this the same green as the Spirico Crayboth from the last drop, they look close?

      The green is bit lighter and richer than the two previous darker Pappysoup Volkriun green hues. When you view it under indirect lighting, the hue is more muted, but under direct lighting it definitely pops a bit closer to Spirico. I think it may be my personal favorite of the Volkriun shades.

      Absolutely inspired by the classic old Kunio Okawara MSV drawings!

      I'm happy you like the mix! Thanks!

      Noboto is still somewhere out in the System, causing trouble no doubt.

    Really excited over the MSV shoutout! The last wave with Tracker Sarvos had a real Gundam Real-Type vibe with the colorway. Really pleased to see it continuing. Hoping for some vinyl in these amazing colors.
