UV Dead Astro

Just a Heads Up regarding a potential UV Dead Astronaut Gangsta release mentioned on UV Discord.

Sounds interesting, I own the original 2 pack but definitely would like to see an updated UV version made.

First teaser via AshleyWoodArt insta

80% ready
Unweathered prototype pic.
No Laika
Despite Dead Astro logo it might as well be Dead Cosmonaut Golovorez
No word on number of colorways

Hopefully it sees a release before DAG's tenth anniversary on August 7th, 2023.
I wonder if UV will use the wide shoulder adapters as used with T-ACHAT and Indentity V Joker for a wider and better arm range.

If the suit was made from the same material as the orange Strigoi figure I would be infinitely more interested in buying this to replace my old peeling Gangsta.

I assume durability is more a priority for UV then threeA.
Especially since the price difference would be pretty small on an already premium priced toy.
I wouldn't mind paying 10-20USD more for high quality fabrics.

None the less, can't wait for something new from Underverse in 1/6th scale.

Yeah totally.
The peeling on my current figure isn't too 'bad' but it still sucks.
Also I want to see a more menacing skull sculpt this time around, the last release looks pretty jovial for a hitman.

I wonder how many AK figures they are working on atm?
I would love to see themed figure waves, maybe some multi packs too.

first UVC (Underverse Club) release it seems.
more soon

Looking forward to seeing photos of this !

A leak of the upcoming figure.

Definitely an improvement over the original, although the design hasn't been altered very much.
As I didn't purchase the original orange 'retail' figure, I'm definitely going to get this guy.

Thanks MJA1MR

Cheaper than I feared at US$275
500 pieces worldwide could be a challenge.

However if you prefer a Shadow version, it will be an open preorder on Underverse.com

Oof, only 500 pieces?! I never bought the orange version either, well see. Where is the info on this shadow version?

These look great, love the weathering! I might get the shadow version as I already have the original Golovorez, plus I like the lighter skull contrasting with the darker suit.

Thought I'd try to get Golovorez, had everything ready to go on purchase screen just had to wait until sale officially started. When I tried to make payment got "purchase limit exceeded" message. Frustrating, as I have an order number created, but maybe I wasn't factoring in for time difference with daylight savings time or the site is a little buggy still, dunno. Oh well. Used up my $10 coupon though, guess I'll have to contact CS to see if I can get it back.

Edit- still able to hit purchase button as opposed to being listed as sold out, maybe I'll keep trying for a bit in case it's just getting the kinks worked out of the club website...

So I might have been able to purchase Golovorez after all, just not sure if the transaction was actually completed. I received a pre-order confirmation email but on the site it still prompts me to continue payment, and I get the same message about purchase limit exceeded when I try to do so. Have sent CS an email to confirm if order was completed or not and to ask about getting the $10 coupon back as it was used on my first attempted order which was subsequently cancelled.

Either way I did purchase the shadow version, so not too concerned if I can't get the Lmt UV Club version. First world problems, lol

Acquired both the shadow and soviet versions with no hiccups.
Roll on Q1 2024! Hopefully he will come with a new AK mini-comic.
I wonder if we will see any additional AK preorders this year? I would love to purchase some Zombs/ Zombots.

Signed up for UV Club this morning and purchased Golovorez with an order # under 200. Makes me think the Shadow version could be more rare in the end.

I really had difficulties to decide which version I like best, they both look great.
In the end I decided to order the GOLOVOREZ D.A.G.R CCCP LTD Edition UVC Exclusive.

The number of my pre-order is under 200 as well.
But no matter how rare, it will be the first UV Club release. I like that.

Let's just hope both sell rather well, so we can expect some more Adventure Kartel figures...
And of course I would totally appreciate a new AK mini-comic!

Edit:
On my UV Club page I have Golovorez as my first digital toy now, with a number a little higher than 200.
Looks like this will be a gallery of all the UV figures you buy - nice!

Was finally able to complete purchase of Golovorez, not sure what the problem was but glad I was able to secure one in the end.

Ordered both as well without any issue.
Personally I like DAGR Shadow best.
However, back when the threeA Dead Astronaut set arrived (9 years ago last weekend), I regretted not ordering Golovorez as well and had to get one via a threeA fan in Singapore.
So to prevent not-buyers remorse I had no choice to get the UV Club exclusive as well.

I think an almost USD200 Zomb will be a hard sell.
It will need zombthing special.

Great to hear, hopefully other people are able to finish their purchase as well

Wonder if well see a UV mega zomb

Yeah, I passed on this Astronaut.  I like figures that I can pose more dynamically.  I wonder if they'll do a Strigoi.  But a Mega Zomb would definitely get my juices flowing.
