With Superfestival 63 fast approaching, the Disarticulators are proud to reveal their latest figure debuting at the event courtesy of Rampage Toys… the slime-tastic Ooze-Ball! Designed and sculpted by Zectron, the follow-up to the insanely popular Madball of Death pays tribute to yet another cult classic from our misspent childhoods, the Ooze-It doll, featuring the same instantly recognisable ‘nub’ design replicated recently by the likes of Longneck and Target Earth, albeit with the dark, meticulous approach to sculpting that Zectron is quickly becoming known for. Due to come cast in a slime-friendly super soft rubber for future releases (complete with a tub of ooze!), this initial ‘display only’ preview run has been produced by Tru:Tek in the Disarticulators’ standard urethane stock, available in either flesh or neon green for this release (just 8 in total)… Word has it that these will be making an appearance via the Monster Island NYCC booth next, so we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that production issues with the new rubber can be resolved in time.
