Post Plaseebo & Blobpus Colab comin THIS FRIDAY
Hi,

The Plaseebo / Blobpus collaboration of the DOKUPUS meets SKULLOCTOPUS set / "LOVE at First Sight" will be offered for purchase on the Plaseebo website store http://plaseebo.net/ this Friday, August 14th.


This is an Ultra Limited US edition of 15 sets of hand painted figures by Bob Conge and is the first collaboration release from Plaseebo and Blobpus. Each set will contain: one Plaseebo "Skulloctopus" figure in clear green vinyl with inset glass eyes and an internal color-changing LED unit with its on / off switch mounted on the outside of the skull. In a darkened room, the LED will illuminate the color gel and glow in the dark brain parts inside the skull. The set also contains one Blobpus "Dokupus" figure in black vinyl with a clear purple head that has glow in the dark red vinyl brain inside, as well as a glow in the dark skull in his hand and a yellow eye insert. This figure also has an internal color-changing LED unit that illuminates the brain in a darkened room. These guys will keep you up at night. Priced at $150. plus shipping.

(Blobpus will also release a Japan paint version edition of 15 sets in September)


Here is the header card art and back-story:

Image


"Dokupus meets Skulloctopus on the planet Mars / Love At First Sight"

The "Skulloctopus from Outer Space" is a menacing bio-mechanical creature
that was created by the on board computer of a space craft from a secret
1960's Soviet manned Mars landing that lost communication just before
landing on the red planet. With no way back to Earth and a limited amount of
food and water, the on board computer seeks a way to survive the death of
the crew and gain mobility.

Using its robotic arms the computer builds the "Skulloctopus" by joining the
skull and brain of one of the cosmonauts with the tentacle legs of a creature
that the crew had collected from beneath the surface of Mars. Then by
incorporating parts of the landing crafts systems and downloading all of its
data and programs, the on-board computer becomes the self sufficient solar
powered mobil brain called "Skulloctopus". The prime directive of this other
world Frankenstein is to find a way to return to Earth.

After thirty-seven years of wandering the barren red deserts of Mars in search
of some form of intelligence, Skulloctopus detects a sensory input on his
scanner that is unlike any data he has yet received. Just as he determines the
origin of this transmission is 98 degrees above the surface, a group of dark
saucer shaped spacecrafts with red scanning lights silently descend from the
black sky to thirty feet above him. There was a high pitched buzzing tone as a
Dokupus teleported to the surface from one of the hovering ships and
materialized in front of him. He looked at the white skull in the outstretched
hand of the Dokupus and Skulloctopus saw this as a gesture of peace and
friendship. It was love at first sight.

Again thank you for all your favorable comments and especially those of you who purchased a set. 14 of the 15 sets were gone by the end of the day on Friday. I will be shipping later this week.
Much appreciated, Bob
