Greasebat & Friends GUMMI play set
Coming soon from Unbox Industries, a set of four little rubbery figures, each should be about 2.5 or 3 inches tall... Greasebat, Spike Wad (pictured) , Stee-Gar and M5 Bravo. All are done in a cartoony style, sort of cute but not Hello Kitty either. Here's the header card.... Debuting at the Taipei Toy Festival and SDCC. Fun project !

Re: Greasebat & Friends GUMMI play set
These are going to be really cool Jeff, I think you achieved a great balance in that sculpt between the monster and cuteness factor. Now we just need a playset to go with the play set.

Re: Greasebat & Friends GUMMI play set
^ THIS. I agree with all of this! I love the direction you are heading with all of your toys! Are any of these going to be offered to those of us who cannot go to the festival/conventions? I hope... Also, maybe for the time being until you make a plastic castle playset, how about a cardboard punch-out castle type of thing? This should be relatively inexpensive and relatively easy to design. You can include them as a backing card or a link to a template to print out (Which could also be a C/DIY). Here is a link to what I am talking about: http://mermag.blogspot.pt/2012/05/inter ... e-diy.html

Re: Greasebat & Friends GUMMI play set
I'm not sure when the release date is, I think they will be ready by SDCC in America, debuting at the Taipei Toy Fest.
Four figures total.
I like the idea of a cardboard print-out backdrop. When I was a kid I loved those things , I had an old west town.
Some of the 80's Japanese toys I have came with little cardboard insert cut-outs. Tokyo tower etc. Some of the buildings I would like to add would be modern architecture classics...

Would be cool to have San Diego themed playset for SDCC and then NYC for NYCC, etc. And make them connect for a large mega playset.

This would be the bees knees! If you could actually make this work and happen... My mouth is just watering at the thought!

Re: Greasebat & Friends GUMMI play set
Here's a photo of the finished play sets, available at the Taipei Toy Fair, I think there will be some at SDCC via Monster Worship also. Of special note- this is the first Greasebat figure with a tongue!

Re: Greasebat & Friends GUMMI play set
Looks like they came out excellently. I just want to toss 'em and trade 'em now, and have all kinds of LRG adventures with them. Congrats Jeff!
