Lots of parts and lots of magnets. This thing has a crazy amount of articulation for a resin toy as well as interchangeable limbs and accessories.

That was sitting on the table all through tradefest and I never picked it up, more because it looked like something I shouldn't touch than a lack of interest. I should've just asked. D'oh!

Post Re: Ark Kong Bootleg
he is cool and doesn't seem like resin in hand, which i mainly attribute to the weight and effect added by the magnets. the way the limbs are attached with magnets make the whole thing "seem" more metal. when you pull a limb off, you feel that magnet force. when you combine that with the look being all metal, the brain is easily fooled.

Kirkle did a fucking rad ass job for his first time on this.
There's definitely room for improvement, but it's a start.

We spent the afternoon putting proto #2 together.
Definitely a lesson learned using two-part epoxy for the magnets.
It's crude, but fun to play with. I already somehow broke a magnet joint.
No idea why but it won't keep the arms up anymore at the shoulder.
Next thing is to figure out how to insert those knife nipples. :lol:

Thanks again to Kirkle for this proto.

Jaws unfortunately don't move.
I believe it was casted close because it was easier.

A little paint goes a long way.
I am unoriginal and just went w/ the original colors, but COME ON!
This thing is just fucking fun to play with.
TBS on the other hand has some crazy colors cooking.

I find this to be the most annoying and condescending thing that can be said in a resin thread.

These look great.
