Love Gundam? Can’t get enough of Ashley Wood? Got a spare $330 burning a whole in your pocket?! Then 3A Toys’ latest addition to the family is just for you…
In a first for the legendary art toy manufacturer, chief designer Ashley Wood has collaborated with Bandai to produce one of the most impressive and intricately detailed Gundam toys to date. Taking the popular Zaku character, Ashley has woven his trademark WW2 aesthetic into the robot’s inherently Japanese stylings to breathtaking effect.
Recently announced in the 3AVOX newsletter, the fully articulated 16″ figure will be available to pre-order exclusively through the Bambaland store tomorrow (Friday January 6th, 9.00am HK) for $330, which includes international shipping.
Unaffected by the usual New Year lull and Chinese New Year preparations, 3A Toys have big plans in the way of releases over the coming months. Next week sees the launch of the annual Bambaland sale (keep an eye out for plenty of exclusives and previously out of stock items at unbelievable prices!), whilst the end of the month has been kept free for the launch of the first female member of the 7Bones, Queeny (pics to follow). February is set to bring the much anticipated Metal Gear Solid Rex robot (coinciding with the release of MGS’ HD remake), and Ro-Jaws from 2000AD- both of which were previewed in the TTFiles a few months back.
Also previewed in the latest issue of 3AVOX, the Punter Bot Sniper has one of the most impressive outfits from 3AToys to date, featuring a fully scaled authentic Ghillie suit. Released exclusively through Asian distributor BBICN, the figure is now available in the UK at One Sixth Bruce for £110. (UPDATED)
