Master customiser and close friend of MAN-E-TOYS, Adam Pratt, sent over some pics of his latest project today- a custom painted set of NUKED! mini-figures, privately commissioned by yours truly!
Hand sculpt and cast by Steve Patt of Papagrim Toys, the initial set of 3 mini-figures (Clawgrugg, Skekiltor, and Oculus Viri) were released (and quickly vanished) last month. We were lucky enough to get a couple of sets over to Adam, and boy are we glad that we did! The scale and level of detail of the figures have lent themselves perfectly to Adam’s intricate style (as with his recent OMFG customs), with extra design flourishes, including Oculus’ Anarchy stricken leather jacket, really helping to make the figures pop. The choice of colours are also of note, with Adam opting for gritty, earthy tones that are reminiscent of his and Steve’s OG Skekiltor, released through Halfbad Toyz last year.
Anyone interested in commissioning their own piece of Adam Pratt art should contact him through his site here– we’re sure he’ll be more than happy to oblige, just don’t ask for pink glitter!
Whilst the initial violet glow, green glow (pictured), and black NUKED! sets have long since disappeared, Steve is offering up a whole host of seconds and bad casts for just $2 each! Perfect for customisers, the mini-figures are available through the Papagrim Big Cartel now…
The world is in turmoil after years of rebellion war and hate the planet erupts into a nuclear hellfire. Earth is a barren inhospitable wasteland with few civilizations dotting the once fruitful plains. Man is virtually no more as Mutation took hold accelerating the course of man’s adaption to this new and harsh environment.
Although life may still exist on this foul planet War and hatred still tears it asunder. Oculus Viri along with a small band of what is left of the united states still hold up within the ruins of the former white house.
Imperator Lacertus the disgustingly cruel leader of the FOEZ, Skekiltor his right hand, and Clawgrugg the general, Will stop at nothing to crush the only thing standing in his way. Oculus and his gang of rag tag mutants.
Oculus Viri the leader, Sam Atom the brute, and Noctu the mind, are working to amass an army of their own kind in order to protect the freedoms of their people.
Who will win the war for control of this post-apocalyptic civilization?
This is now YOUR charge, choose a side amass an army of your own battle your friends and choose the fate of this new world!
NUKED!
