What are Unbox Industries up to?!? It involves 2000AD and a Japanese Legend!!!

Pictured above is a work-in-progress test figure for a new project that will be released at New York Comic Con (October 10-13th, 2013) by Unbox Industries. But what is it, besides cool looking? When the above image was posted on Instagram, it was accompanied by the hashtags 2000AD, probably denoting the famed UK comic magazine, and JapanLegends, more than likely indicating an amazing Japanese sculptor who is working on this. When specifically asked, all Unbox would comment was: "The source material and the participating artist(s) have been great to work with." Damn, I need to know what this is now! Well, if it is from the 2000AD comic, then I'll assume it is Frank Hart, The Visible Man, whose skin had been made transparent due to exposure to nuclear waste.
