With excitement over the recently revealed ‘C2E2 exclusive’ Cyborg Space Barbarians reaching fever pitch, creator Ben Spencer has kindly taken some time out ahead of the Chicago con to give us an insight into what we can expect from himself and the rest of the Nerd City crew at their booth come Friday…
“At this year’s C2E2 (April 13th-15th at McCorrmick Place in Chicago), Nerd City’s booth #842 is going to be the place to be for lovers of indie/MOTU/Glyos/resin toys! Our long time friend, The Godbeast, will be returning this year, along with his sons, and they’ll be bringing a plethora of resin goodness. Additionally, I will be unleashing no less than 25 of my new Cyborg Space Barbarian custom figures upon the world. We’ll also be featuring an exclusive new resin Simulation from Giant Japanese Monster, Bad!, as well as hand painted OMFG! Phantom Shithouses from Mistuh Thye, resin MOTU-inspired Glyos Demon Skull Heads from FeedtheDead and more customs and resin goodness from Super Sandbagger.
All of the exclusives at Nerd City’s booth #842 will be featuring is either of a very limited quantity or a one of a kind nature. So, if you see something you like, you’re advised to jump on it asap…”
Ben gives us the lowdown on the featured artists-
TGB will be bringing that resin magic that you’ve come to know and love with a bunch of new heads for his Glyos-compatable Armorvor figure. He will have the Granthan (previewed here last week), Flybee, Cobra and Kabuto Mushi (all sculpted by The Godbeast) and the awesome new Lion heads (sculpted by Jason Frailey.) Marty will also have a selection of his Bio Jumpers which have been brilliantly painted with Monster Kolor paints, as well as a stunning rainbow of his Repoclaimer Soldier figures (designed by Matt Doughty and sculpted and produced by TGB).
Marty will also have a selection of his Clawshine mini figures, as well as a selection of Glyos-compatible heads sculpted and designed by his uber talented sons, MJ and Kobe!
