MECHA GREASEBAT

I'm gonna need one of these. So cool!

 

I vote for mechanical guts! That would be amazing!
Have a few clear mecha greasebat releases with sculpted vinyl "mechanized" innards/guts. That would be pretty difficult, but oh so incredible IMO.

 

The idea off the cut through mecha is cool , but I would go for mixed medium because of the detail required. Even just the idea of being able to see through the eyes in to the control room would be a nice touch. If there's a clear release I'll be kit bashing some internals . It is a great looking sculpt , it would have been tempting to just change the original, here the change in scale really helps it stand out.

 

Thank you all for the interesting feedback. It's been a real pleasure to see this toy generate interest from you all, and discussion.

I recently had an opportunity to create some keshi style figures so I'm spending today designing a close-to-scale pilot, engineer and droid figure to go with Mecha Greasebat. Maybe packaged with MGB, likely to be sold on their own at a low price. One of my favorite robot toys ever came with a keshi set of figures...like this

So I'm sort of emulating that.

Finkeliminator, your idea of a clear head with a view of the pilot is outstanding. I hope we can do that someday.

 

^ yeah, fantastic! will they be flexible rubber or hard resin? a pack-in would make for a great set. great news!

 

will there be a fully painted version, like on the header card?

 

I don't know about the color of the header card but there will be fully painted version for sdcc.

 

Awesome news Jeff! I love the idea of small pack in figures. MB is amazing on so many levels.

 

Thank you, this release has really been perfect. It's so cool to see it go from sketch to sculpt to vinyl toy, and the sculptor (Monster 5) really got it right with minimal direction. Of course none of it would've happened without people's support of Greasebat and Chad/Monster Worship.

 

Mecha Greasebat secret base, hidden in the Black Forest region of Germany.

 

ha ha ha, that's great! especially the eames chairs

can we get the "mechanized" shield/crest as a sticker?

the castle would make for a fun playset, where its flip side would serve as storage/display. is a cheap, blow-molded product a possibility?

 

Really love this castle! And also the Mechas backstory.

 

I love that castle drawing ! The new figure looks so good too...I just started putting together list ideas that are brewing for SDCC, and 1st painted Mecha Greasebat is at the top of the list. Congrats to all involved

 

Castle Greasebat! That would be a fun play set... It probably wouldn't be too hard to make a vacu-formed outer shell strictly for display. But I'd like a full on play set ala Guns Of Navarone or Castle Greyskull...

 

sorry, stupid question. when is it going to be live soon? or is it only at SDCC?

 

Sometimes it's worthwhile actually reading the words and not just looking at the pretty pictures!

 

Black vinyl will be on sale soon- get on the email list via http://www.monsterworship.com

First painted version will be on sale at SDCC

 

yeah, i should have. sorry my bad. was too blow away with the pic. signed up for letters already

 

cool, thank you DTPC !

 

Great colour choice for the debut

 

Yeah it's become sort of a Monster Worship tradition! Someday I want to release a black vinyl toy and have a black vinyl seven inch to go along with it...

 

Two birds with one stone! . . . you make it too easy Jeff! *schoolboy snigger*

 

Andy finally busting out collection shots !!

 

haha! seven inch RECORD !
