The time has come!!! The Kickstarter for the Radioactive Uppercut "8-Ball" figure is now LIVE, and hot damn does it look good!!! If you are all unaware of what this bad boy is, we covered it in a few posts
HERE, but let's just get a little recap going, shall we :-) After 9 years in the Collectible Toy Industry providing hundreds of award-winning, brand-strengthening products for such companies as DC Direct, Mezco Toyz and Gemmy Industries; John Santagada (the Radioactive Uppercut) is finally unleashing his own original toy line to an unsuspecting public, and "8-Ball", the Terror from Space is the first of hopefully many figures under the 'Radioactive Rumblers' Series name.
The project, funded through
Kickstarter, has all kinds of details about it... and here they are! Sculpted by Joshua Sutton at ERA Sculpture, "8-Ball" will be produced in rotocast vinyl, stands at 4 inches tall and features 3 points of 'city crushing' articulation. He will have a pivot joint at his neck and balljoints at both shoulders! The figure will come with a collector’s trading card featuring a faux comic cover for "8-Ball" on the front and his bio/stats on the flipside. He will be packaged in polybag with header card, and will be signed and numbered, and will retail for $55, shipping included... a great deal, for a serious amount of detail and paint! Alongside basic 'entry' donation incentives of trading cards, stickers, magnets, original art and of course the standard 8-ball figure; a number of custom one-of-a-kind resin (seen above) 8-Balls will be available for purchase including customs from:
Ed Long, Damien Glonek, Frank and Martina Russo, Monsterforge, Topheroy, Motorbot, D-Lux, Tom Connors, George Gaspar, and John "Spanky" Stokes (posted above) Also available as donation incentives within special tiers will be a one-off ‘behind the curtain’ unpainted resin 8-ball and a one-off ‘radioactive edition’ clear green tinted resin 8-Ball. The one-off's are going fast, so
head on over and back this project!
