Hot off the heals of our exclusive teaser last week, John Santagada over at Radioactive Uppercut kindly shares some more details about his upcoming debut vinyl line, including a peak at the project’s first figure, the fearsome 8-Ball! Revealed as the ‘Radioactive Rumblers’, the ongoing series is set to feature a number of 4″ designs inspired by old sci-fi and horror flicks, 80’s toys, garbage pail kids and comic books of the 50’s and 60’s, each coming rotocast in vinyl with a number of ‘city crushing’ points of articulation (3 in the case of 8-Ball!)… As mentioned in our previous post, John will be funding the project through Kickstarter, with a tentative ‘live’ date set for July 1st. Alongside basic ‘entry’ tiers that include trading cards, comics and of course the standard figure, a number of custom 8-Balls have also been donated for the cause, with artists Ed Long and Damien Glonek of Living Dead Dolls, Frank and Martina Russo from MF Gallery and Monsterforge all confirmed so far… We’ll be bringing you guys a comprehensive lowdown closer to the Kickstarter campaign, but in the meantime, be sure to head over to the Radioactive Uppercut Facebook page here for all the latest developments!
