As mentioned in our earlier post here, Rich over at UME Toys has a whole lot more planned than just the debut of Hugo Shortpants and Belemey come Friday 13th next month… so without further ado, we bring you a quick rundown on the developments since our OG Hugo reveal last week! To celebrate bringing halloween to July, Rich will be holding a competition with a whole selection of UME goodies, the first to be revealed coming in the form of the beautiful one-off skull and crossbones sculpt pictured above. Stay locked on the UME blog for details on how to enter at the beginning of next month…
Last week we mentioned that a certain pumpkin-headed cutie would be getting the flocked treatment ala Longbottom… well after a hard slog in the UME resin lab, Rich proudly reveals the first furry Hugo! Still to receive a lick of pink and blue paint, the figure will (hopefully!) be sitting alongside a whole cast of bright orange flocked treats next month. Stay tuned for a final reveal soon…
As if the debut of Hugo and Belemey wasn’t enough, Rich introduces yet another original figure that will be making an appearance on the 13th, the adorable Russell Bone! We’re not sure if this guy will be offered up as a one-off sculpt or resin cast figure, so expect more details on the little fella soon. The clean lines and smooth shape of the skull are absolutely stunning on this piece… with our weakness for resin skulls, we keep our fingers crossed for a few cast up sans-body too!
