wave_1_promo4_1600x1200

“Intelligent slugs are not new to Earth. They’re just small enough for us to not know about them. From the telekinetic deep sea nudibranch elders, to the hard-mantled terrestrial gastropod mollusc, their secrets are finally revealed – forcing them out into the open to live alongside, or battle mankind!!”

Kicking 2015 off with a bang, Lee Burbridge over at Bigmantoys has revealed an all-new line of mini figures… The Day of the Slug! Heavily inspired by Tim Clarke’s Mini Boglins, the 1″-1.5″ tall figures have been designed and sculpted by Lee, with each mutated mollusc based on either a horror theme or direct film parody. Set to be released across 4 super-collectible waves of 4 figures a year – that’s a total of 16 in 2015!) – the first will feature the pictured Mind Control Mage, Cpt. Salty, Jay Slug and Mantle in a selection of hand cast resin and rubber finishes. Due to make their debut on the Bigmantoys store on Monday, January 5th, DotS: Wave 1 will be available through 2 different buying options; singularly for $10, or just $30 for the “Value” 4 pack; Bigmantoys will also be offering up super-glossy trading cards of each character for an additional $1 per figure… Stay tuned for news of the next wave over the coming months!
