Robert, just looked up, the original thread, & thought a Combat Zero & t-shirt pack would be great
The eyes still remind me of Peace from the movie Wizards

I don't wanna say just yet. BUT what I can tell you is we are going for a diecast metal "chogokin" look. I'll be getting some painted test shots soon of several colorways plus an experimental one for a possible future colorway. Stay tuned..

Thats sooo cool! I've wanted to incorporate some Japanese Kanji into the packaging. Might be cool for that T-shirt Tinman proposed

Robert, just saw your article on Toysrevil, and thought I'd post here for others to read. Hope you don't mind

This figure rocks so totally hard. I'm more excited about this than forthcoming stuff from my favorite kaiju/neo-kaiju companies, which is something considering that I don't really follow the non-Japanese toy scene much. For some reason I keep thinking about how different people who do customs would treat this baby ... it seems like a "natural" for motorbot's rusty style for example. Here's hoping it's a success and the first of more toys to come from Robert.

That's cool. Andy hasn't put up the current one yet. This was the first part of an on going series of interviews and showcases he's planning on for my Robot. He's soo into CRZ and I'm very greatfull for the exposure he's given me and my humble lil bot dude.

Thanks Dean thats quite a compliment. It's not a Japanese toy fo sho but it was designed using inspiration from Japanese toy esthetics. Hopefully the connection was made there

Hmmm I don't know about that. This is S7's house and I don't think that would be cool. It will be sold through our own website which hopefully will be done soon (ugh my aching head). I'll keep ya'll posted
