“Prepare the fallout shelter, the radioactivity is at maximum levels, Get ready for a 1st round TKO!”
It’s finally time folks… After 2 months of drip fed teasers and reveals, the long awaited 8-Ball Radioactive Rumbler Kickstarter campaign is finally upon us! To those that missed our previous posts, the 4″ tall beast will be the first in an ongoing line of sofubi figures from John Santagada’s Radioactive Uppercut, coming cast in a Japanese soft vinyl (NOT Chinese rotocast!), with 3 points of world destroying articulation… As mentioned in our earlier coverage, John has pulled out all the stops when it comes to reward tiers, offering low-cost entry points including stickers and buttons, a whopping 11 one-off customs from some of the art toy scene’s finest (listed below), 2 hand cast resin variants, PLUS both the standard red deco version AND DIY blank “Decontamination Edition”- each coming with a three-panel cardstock diorama and collectible character trading card. Priced at just $55, the standard edition will stay exclusive to the campaign, whilst the $35 blank is likely to reappear at some point in the future, although that certainly doesn’t mean you should sleep on it!
Running until 10pm EDT on Saturday, August 24th, we suggest heading over and making your pledge ASAP, a number of the customs have already been picked up, and we can’t imagine the rest will be hanging around for long either… But wait, that’s not all! As co-sponsors of the 8-Ball campaign alongside Spanky Stokes, John has been kind enough to supply us with our very own one-off exclusive! Due to come cast in a clear purple resin (TBC), the figure will be up for grabs via a very special competition soon… Expect more news on the specifics closer to the end of the campaign!
