Patching Me Into HQ!


Each figure will come with it's own fabric patch! Each patch will feature a sequential number coinciding with the resin figure.

I've always wanted to have the toy coincide with the owner - so the MechaZombie in-your-hand "belongs" to you, literally! And YOU are along for the struggle alongside your mecha!

The above are my roughs (I wanted a design combo of both elements of Mongar Toys and TOYSREVIL), but I depended on Erwin to finish up the final designs -here are some samples! And we'd decided to go with "Survive.Mecha.Zombie" as I had wanted this release to be the "first stage", and not the all-encompassing badge as yet ...


The next-to-final design (with text-change mentioned above):

Numbering Toasterboys

Each figure will be numbered sequentially, No.01 to No.10 - shown
on the sides of the heads! Blind-box or Open? Decisions, decisions…

The Making Of A Mecha-Zombie Toasterboy: Work-in-Progress

MECHAZOMBIE-WIP

Each figure is hand-grinded / sculpted by Erwin The Mongar, and will be hand-painted by him = this is hardcore DIY-indie work, folks! "Technically" there are 10 x figures, but there's a "surprise" in the selection :)

Creating Mecha-Zombie Toasterboys

MECHAZOMBIE-FINAL-SKETCH

Conceptual sketch of MECHA ZOMBIE TOASTERBOY ARMY by Erwin = half-zombie-flesh, half-cybord! With a over-toasted slice of moldy-bread and a couple of loose wires, he wrecks havoc for the sake of mankind! (my torrid initial concept sketch is shamelessly posted below for guffaws - like the slice of bloody flesh-bread? ) ... heh.

In The Beginning

The day the Earth fell to the unnamed Alien Invaders and the
Zombie Plague unleashed by them, the human race hide amongst the
mountains of the world. And with the armies of man perished in the
war, and manpower dwindling, the remaining mortals had only one chance
to continue the fight - they turn to their scientists to reanimate the
zombie-undead by fusing them unto walking-exo-machines! And now the
cyborg MECHA ZOMBIE TOASTERBOY ARMY fights for mankind!

Erwin of Mongar Toys had wanted to do a MechaZombie, and I knew I had wanted to do a story / premise that anchors the concept, and perhaps is a start to the subsequent storyline which will produce more characters and figures. I am not looking at one-off releases, I am looking at products that are all part of a greater story, a lore of epic proportions that ties in to the releases. Also, I know I want to have fun with what we come out with, so here we have the very first custom-release planned: MECHAZOMBIE TOASTERBOYS!
