Skull Toys x EXOHEAD x toybot studios = Skullrex!!

So my wife saw my PK Grodnoid sitting in it's box and then noticed the German writing on the box. She likes the German language and tried to learn German on her own a long while back, so she tried to translate what was on the box, here's what she came up with:

Here are the People of Heaven, contentedly rejoice big and small, here is man, here I exist!

Maybe one of our German members could check the translation, here's what written on the box:

Hier ist des Volkes wahrer Himmel, Zufrieden jauchzet gross und klein; Hier bin ich Mensch, hier darf ich's sein!

 

New pics on the TBS blog. Ghost of Jimi looks killer too, I like how one has the MM robo-guts and the other has the newer Grodnoid guts.

 

This Skullrex looks like it could chop down a mountain with the edge of his hand.

Awesome colors, awesome reference / homage. Just awesome all around. I am so geeked on this release it's ridiculous. I'm glad I paid sooner than later, too, considering it's nearly sold out.

These will be my 8th and 9th Exohead releases (Skullrex / Manmachines, anyway) and to think, I was considering getting rid of them not too long ago. That's not even a thought in my head now.

 

Well, if that urge to get rid of them ever resurfaces...please drop me a PM

 

Wow! The color choices are awesome on this piece. I think it's even cooler that it comes as a set. Great job on this one toybot.

 

Hey bansheebot - do you have the Clear and the Pink 12" Skull Toys suits?

 

I already saw your trade list and went over it again and again in my head. =)
But yes, I do have the Paint it Pink version, though not clear.

 

damn! u have time to have a full time job, raise children, surf skullbrain, do a blog, and paint these?

 

Children are free labor, don't you know.

 

haha. Joe and Bert actually paint all of them. I just tell them blue and purple.

 

ha. i was thinking i fall into the same category as what rhinomilk stated, minus the toy painting part. but if that's all it takes, I think I can handle that full load too!

btw, this piece fucking rocks man. nice color choices! i need me some exohead, and this seems like a good way of starting...

 

So, uh...any German folk wanna give us a better translation of what's written on the Man Machine box?

 

Re: Skull Toys x EXOHEAD x toybot studios PRE-ORDER SOLD OUT

wow, thanks for all the interest.

Pre-Orders are now SOLD OUT.

a couple sets may come available if any of the last few folks invoiced flake out on payment.

 

I can hardly wait to get mine. My Garimpo Grodnoid needs some friends

 

i always assumed the manmachine / german stuff was some kind of reference to kraftwerk - and then khanate said the cd (that came with jain i think?) had electro which was the maker's preferred style of music, so it made sort of more sense...

dunno, probably way off and really have no idea of the meaning heh

 

Dang! I sent an email for this and never heard back Must have been to late. Congrats to everyone who got one.

 

It's a hard job.

 

Great to meet kirkland at SDCC. Was able to pick my set. Will post picts.

 

::Ahem:: Anyone who got these from the Con, pics? I saw some in the background of some "haul" shots, but it needs some face time.

 

Check Kirkland's blog...no one takes better toy photos than him.

 

Here is the people's true heaven, content praise big and small, here am I man, here I dare to be.

 

is that a Nietzsche quote?

 

Thanks, Zaaier!

 

its a poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, written during a walk @ easter in 1808.

what about:

Here is the people's true heaven, come on big and small rejoice contentedly! here i am human, here im allowed to be.

doesnt translate easy into modern german as its "altdeutsch" old speech,
total free interpretation, but meant to be very lyric.


choosen by kirkland???


...cool girlfriend ---NT--- !!!

...zaaier - good translation!!! ...for a belgian.
