As I am sure all of our regular readers are aware, we’ve been working on the ‘Ed Skworm Vs. Min-E-Face M.U.S.C.L.E 2 pack for quite some time now, and whilst it’s been a bummer that the release date has slipped further and further, the extra time has given us the chance to go to town on other aspects of the release! Originally due to come bagged and headed, we decided to run with a more authentic look and created the H.U.S.T.L.E brand (Hundreds of Ugly Scraped Together Losers… Everywhere!) that will be used for future releases alongside the current ‘Ed Skworm and Min-E-Face set. We luckily managed to source some (almost) perfect clamshell blisters, so everything appears to be on-track for a faithful 80’s style release!
With just a few minor changes needed before sending the backing card off to the printers, we should be looking at a release in early July (as long as the figures can sneak through customs unscathed!). Stay tuned for more info as production nears the final stages, including updates on the various colourways that will be on offer, edition sizes and pricing… Wondering who that little dude in the pics is? Well this guy is due to be our third bootleg in the on-going series! Named the “Skworm Hunter”, he will be the first of Min-E-Face’s allies we have planned in the coming months. Expect a full reveal of this figure soon, plus a further look at the “Skormula” universe that we’ve been developing around the various characters…
