Here's what I'll be bringing with me to Designer Con.

Fumetsu Erewhon and Neumann will be sold as a set A



Fumetsu Kurzweil and Vinge will be sold as a set B



Each figure has robot guts known as Ailesh, their robot lord.



Also I'll be bringing some dark gray clear gray vinyl Semi Korosiya's that are infused with gold flake.

^^dude, you are killing it! really dig the fully painted new guys.
the paint apps and colors are really great.

Brilliant! Very sad I won't be at DCon. Congrats on these pieces, they are uber awesome.

These are super nice.

Those look fun! Kurzweil is my favorite.

Are the names references?
Kurzweil and Vinge are both authors who've talked about AI before. I've actually read The Age of Spiritual Machines by Kurzweil years ago. (Forgot most of it...)

Not sure on the other names.

Thanks fellas!

Yes, all the names are references to people involved with AI, engineering, and mathematics. Erewhon was a book (by Samuel Butler) about a utopia without machines and disease. The super computer (Ailesh) that resides in each figure created and controls all of them. Ailesh started as a government AI project but was shut down after the computer became self aware and started to evolve on it's own. In his frustration Ailesh created the humanoid monsters to destroy the scientist team that had abandoned him. I've really put a lot of thought into these figures, if they do well I plan on doing more in the series. So I guess we'll see.

I completely fascinated with the thought of transhumanism and the coming singularity.

Beautiful!!! They all look so great, congrats! Really well thought out and designed. These are a big definite for me!

I can't express my excitement enough for all five releases. So we'll thought out, designed, painted(fantastic color choices and layouts), everything! Very, very excited to see these in hand! Love that AI is the key component to their back stories, as well as the inspired names and mechanisms inside of each figure.

These all rule, definitely will need the B set.
Kurzweil and Vinge stand out and go so well together.

In his frustration Ailesh created the humanoid monsters to destroy the scientist team that had abandoned him.

Toys and revenge! Awesome!

Hey nice job on these I dig the colors and sculpts alot. The set would make a welcome edition to my collection. Good luck at dcon, I will have some stuff there at a few different booths as well.

really like the paint and sculpts on the new gang

The paint on the detail-points is maybe a tiny bit clean for my general tastes, but look fantastic anyway. All the color choices are out of sight and yes, totally agreed that the sculpts and storyline are as good as it gets. Great job, sir!

The celestial version of Semi Korosiya is superb, too:

He looks like a living starfield.

Both sets are outstanding. I love the robot guts.

Love this! Really Beautiful!

yes yes yes......!!! all the above.....!!! bravo bravo....!!! some truly amazing d-con sets

Saw these at DCON and they were super nice. I didn't realize they were as big as they are. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics because I'm an idiot.

super excellent, love the purple/pink Kurzweill vinyl

These figures all looked super awesome in person. I only had a minute or two to look them over, they were painted beautifully, and extremely well designed. And the Korosiya is magnificent!

Thanks everyone!

The Dcon leftovers will be up tonight at 9pm EST.

Scooped up a Set B. I didn't realize the base vinyl was GITD in all cases. The sprays are so nice and covering that I assumed the main color was the base...plus I totally forgot about any teaser pics that were on Instagram already.

Great release.

Despite them being at the Lulu booth at the Con, I couldn't quite swing 'em at the time. But I did just pick up Set A, and I couldn't be more excited. The paints on the GID, as well as the mechanic guts inside are so, so awesome. I can't wait to photograph the pair!
