WHAT'S NEW

Sprog's "Edition D - Pt 1" resin robot's by Cris Rose


Cris Rose continues to push out his resin bot creations, and it's fantastic to see what his creative mind keeps coming up with... in fact he has created 3 new Sprog sculpts that he is calling "Rankin", "Ronis" and "Rothstein"... all of which make up half of his Edition D series! These lil guys stand 3" tall, are made of resin, and are -as Cris states- the "stylistic brothers of the Observation Drone 3" Dunny"... which are being phased out. One of the really cool things about these new figures is that they are all 2-faced, as you can see in the photo above, and can be displayed front or back... what a cool added detail! The edition above titled "Spring Green" will go on sale HERE this Thursday, April 14th at 18:00 London time, with 20 available as blind boxes and a limited number of 3 pack sets. The other 3 sculpts will be revealed tomorrow.

Sprogs "Edition D" Backstory:
"Observation Drones Mk1 to 3 had always been considered as their own class of robot, but with significant growth in the Sprog line of small commercial and home automatons, many customers were requested similar feature sets. It was decided to merge them into the Sprog line and make use of the developments in the platform to produce 3 new models, MkIV, MkV and MkVI. As part of their more consumer-friendly image, it was felt these should also be given names, thus Mk IV became Rankin, MkV became Ronis and MkVI became Rothstein."

"Like their predecessors, these Observation Sprogs were built around large optic units with spark-generation static coils and rearward "faces" to scare away animals. The optics became larger and more sensitive, the static generators more directional and the faces were made more personable to the general public, designed to reflect their unique personalities. While overall they'd become less robust, their workings were far more repairable and they cost far less, leading to an understandable spike in sales over their predecessors."

"Whether observing rare wildlife at a distance or the results of natural disasters close up, Observation Sprogs offered the best view possible for those operating on a tight budget... or those with huge budgets as it turned out, something all too apparent when Paparazzi Sprogs started appearing in bushes all over LA..."
