Previously featured here a couple of weeks back, Bigman Toys’ Jumbo-Kaggra custom keshi is set to be joined by another 3 figures for the first official wave of BIG-MAN Keshi! Priced at just £5 ($8) per figure, these guys are available in “all the colours of the ‘bow” (opaque only), by hitting Bigman up directly at happyburbridge@googlemail.com. Here’s a quick rundown on the awesome newcomers-
Micro-Keshi// Easily our favourite of the trio, Micro-Keshi combines Bigman’s love of Micronauts and M.U.S.C.L.E with flair. Based on the Time Traveler design, the figure comes with a TT head, boots, and the best part… a removable chest plate than can be interchanged with the original toys! A truly brilliant mash-up…
Battle-Bride// “Jilted at the altar, mutated by sheer rage. Lucy Silverstein, 28, went on a one woman lifestyle quest of constant battle everywhere, all the time, when her dreams of matrimony were dashed. Maybe one day she will find the man who abandoned her, and rest. Until then, this barefoot buff battling beauty, is out for blood!”. With female characters almost non-existent in M.U.S.C.L.E, this rather top-heavy warrior makes a refreshing change to the usual customs. Coming bagged and tagged, Bigman has gone for an awesome 90’s “dojinshi” influenced design for the headers…
Men-Man// “When is a man more than a man? When he’s several!! It’s Men-man! Gifted and cursed with the power of group rationality, group indecisiveness, and two lazer axes He roams the galaxy, never able to settle, often making absolutely no difference for hundreds of years”. On receiving a Roboblinks/Blockman Pilot a while back, Bigman decided to work on a bigger figure (2″) that incorporated the micros, the result being Men-Man! Staying true to the 80’s Macross/Dougram/Diaclone aesthetic, Bigman will be revealing header art for this little guy soon…
