Tom Neely(IG: @iwilldestroytom) and a few friends created a small 'Zine back in 2006. Those quickly turned into a 66 page collection of comics that were published in 2009. The premise of the comic is explained in the beginning: “Henry and Glenn are very good 'friends.' They are also 'room mates.' Daryl and John live next door. They are satanists.” What follows is made up of ultra-metal violence, cryfest diary entries, cringing self-doubt, and mega-hilarious emo-meltdowns... and now, Henry & Glenn Forever creator, Tom Neely, teams up with Rocom Toys for Vinyl Toy
Kickstarter.... and it's EPIC! Introducing the
Henry & Glenn Forever Anime Robot Vinyl Toys!!!
2018 marked the creation of
Rocom Toys(IG: @rocom) with its debut soft vinyl robot,
Death Jaguar. After a successful Kickstarter and hundreds of toys sold, Rocom set out to plan his next toy release. After some talks with Tom Neely, the idea of Japanese Robot renditions of Henry & Glenn became an instant obsession. Tom quickly started brainstorming concept sketches and within just days, Kotetsu Henry-138 and Astro Glenn were born. The sculpts for these toys were made meticulously to stay true to Tom's initial sketches and also reflect the 1960s anime they're inspired from. They're truly an embodiment of punk rock and the anime they pay homage to.
The Henry vinyl toy stands at 9" tall and has 5 points of articulation. It will come with swap-out fists and open hands as well as a wearable Battle Helmet. 360-Turnaround video of the toy and battle helmet are shown below. The Glenn vinyl toy stands at 5.75" tall and has 3 points of articulation. Designed by Tom Neely and sculpted by Stephan Ehl from Paper Mechanic. Soft vinyl toys can take over a year to make, but they are on track to get rewards to all backers in about 6-8 months... that being said, head on over
HERE right now to check out the awesome rewards and strech rewards - this will be funded, so get in on the action from the ground floor!
