I’m not sure if this sensational robot model, designed by illustrator Ashley Wood, will be available for sale or is just a one-off—the last set of robots I fell in love with, from Take-G toys, were not—but Wood implies that they might be on his blog. Here’s hoping!
Some Bertie Shots [AshleyBambaland.Blogspot.com via Ectomo]
I was all psyched for it to be the same Ashley Wood I went to school with back in the dizzle. But nah, it’s a guy named Ashley.
Way cool robo, though.
It has always been a fantasy of mine to have something I made show up on Boingboing! This is the figure of Ashley Wood’s Bertie that Bigshot Toyworks is producing.
Ashley has a lot of info about the project on his site, in the posted link, and we have some more info on ours at http://www.bigshottoyworks.com
This is Awesome!
we are very proud of this project, Ashley’s design is remarkable and Scott’s Sculpt is perfect in every way.
This robot is currently being engineered for maximum
posability, Yes everything that looks like it moves WILL move!
Thanks so much for posting us!
