Kiba and Aki box art update in Ashley Wood's blog. They look gorgeous to me.
Ashley Wood about famous Men from N.O.M set:
"I have said many times, the Men from N.O.M are stylized versions of me and Kim, nothing has been seen yet pertaining to what they will look like, but they are stylized version of Kim and me.. I dont like realistic 12" heads, hardly ever look cool..."
If you don't know, Ashley Wood is a serious collector. Help him get this stuff and you will be rewarded.
Don't forget that Oyabun pre-order is coming in 22 days from now!
02.03.09
First boardies who signed up for purchasing Men from N.O.M set, months ago, will get personalized card, which is a SOLDIER OF N.O.M Alpha recruits card.

More bits of info, about Men from N.O.M set, Ashley Wood talking about this set:
"As the story of N.O.M becomes known it will be even cooler.."
"zombie heads.. gah I always hated reading that.. N.O.M are fun to write and draw, fans of the de plume fig will love him even more over time as I grind work out and all their motivations become apparent !.."
And don't forget guys, it wasn't zombie heads, which came with Dirty Deeds Bertie, it was dead soldier heads!

Ashley Wood comment about Oyabun release and it's limits:
"A heads up, the OYA is going to have a theoretical limit due to materials shortage ( the worlds economics are affecting raw material providers ) and we can only make a limited number. We will offer the 3AA members first then put the rest on general release. We think will have enough to cover the interested parties of both 3AA and rogue operatives. So dont go stressing !

First of all if you were very lucky and got Bramble Night Watch (Euro Defense chase variant) and you still want to buy Euro Defense variant, it's possible.

"everybody that gets a NW can in the short term get Euro if they want, but dont dilly dally, the Euro want list grows and we cant moth-ball them !"
In the end of this year, possibly will be released MK2.5 variant of the Bramble. Everyone is very excited about that, it's going to be 3AA exclusive, it's color going to be battle grey and it's not MERC Bramble.
Here is Ashley Wood speaking about MK2.5 differences from current Bramble.
" an answer to gar, no large Brambles MK2 for a long time if ever in this current guise, I want to do a Bramble MK2.5 Heavy , but it will probably be a 3AA thing as it doesnt warrant a mass release.
2.5 sam
that incurs a change, but too radical would step to far from bramble mk2. Though there are significant changes, bigger engine, arms etc"
We will see some blurry photos of him, at some point of time. Please be prepared for that.

Pictures of two Oyabun variants, for your viewing pleasure. I hope they come with two different life size t-shirts!
18.03.2009
New photo of TK Oyabun from Ashley Wood's blog.
They look so exceptionally good, aren't they?!
3A representative Bramble, expressing his opinion about Oyabun photos:
"Please bear in mind that the pictures posted on the blog were unlit and taken with an iphone. The production pictures you usually see, (finals) are properly lit in the studio and the camera costs 15k more...
My guess is that most of you will feel differently when all of the detail on the figures can be seen in literally a better light against a seamless next week."
19.03.2009
Possible WWRP Berties photos were spotted in Ashley Wood's blog!
Bambaboss statue or prototype from Ashley Wood's blog. This thing looks huge! Like Coarsetoys's 27 inches Pain or Chopper! I want to see him painted and on my display.
Sadly this Bambaboss is an artist edition and not for sale..

Mr.Ashley Wood is back from his trip to Hong-Kong 3A headquarters. So the news are in top gear again! Mark my words, a lot of great stuff is prepared for us in the future. So today you will see mostly Ash's quotes in the news, because we missed him so much!
First about WWR Bambaboss vinyl figure, which we saw couple of days ago.
"he wont be available for purchase, he will only be attainable as a prize or getting given it as a 3A respected artist DIY fig .
we will create an online gallery to show the DIY editions..
good times ahead, lots of different stuff, toys, books, posters, clothes.."
Ashley Wood about meeting cool artist Kenny Wong! Click here to get to know more about him.
"Kenny is awesome, great guy and a great artist !
I did a painting for him as we chatted. We will be doing some toys together !"
Sadly there will be no Bertie MK1 in WWRP, but here is Ashley Wood teasing us about Bertie MK2 in WWRP (1/12 scale)
"Bertie Mk2 WWRP has feet, i prefer him to the mk1.. he is taller and thinner too.. "
And there is going to be Bertie MK2 in WWR (1/6 scale) too! So excited to see the new Bertie's look!
So, now we know the price of Oyabuns, as the set and something about the set packaging.
"singles are 150, sets are 300
we discounted the aki and kiba because it wasnt a box set in the sense og borh in a box, but a way to buy both boxes together, the OYA set is a box with both figs in it etc, the cost of the extra packaging makes it not possible to discount.
not long now, im doing a photo shot this week for the OYA stay tuned !"
Oyabuns names with 3A edition numbers - are Yama (10012) and Naga (10013) and the set (10014). They would be offered separately and as the set.
And I don't know if I read Ashley Wood's hint right, but maybe he meant that there is going to be a figure made together with 3A and Michael Lau.
Don't know..here is the hint for you:
wood/lau
It was mentioned in the Oyabun's thread.
21.03.2009
Previous news for this date above
Ashley Wood about looks and legs of WWRP Berties and about nostalgia at Rotchild:
"get over the peg legs, he has feet now, thats the only real difference.. most will not notice the other changes.
I like him with feet, end of story.. moving ahead..
plus the stand looked real stoopid in small scale....
rothchild's engineers have no time for nostalgia, seeing berties picked off in snow and sand made them feel kinda dumb and decided to fix it, most mk1 berties were retro fitted with the feet as the conflict continued !"
And good news about Gebi de Plume, he will be available soon! Don't ask how soon please, just follow the news!
22.03.2009
Everyone who has 3AA membership, the 3AA OYABUN pre-sale link newsletter goes out in the next 24 hours.

"deep powder bertie will be one of the first, I love white-ish snow figures and will milk that scheme!"
You can read, discuss and share your opinions about WWR MK2 Deep Powder Bertie here.
Because the sets are very limited (70 sets in total), 3A allows us to buy two both Oyabuns separately. Hooray!
Ashley Wood about 3AA Oyabuns buying link:
"the link will go out my today ( sunday ) and be live 9.00am aest monday morning."
I haven't received newsletter with the link, so I don't sure what the date were there, but there is a mistake in the 3AA newsletter, according to Ashley Wood's personal blog - the real date for the 3AA pre order of the Oyabun is 9.00am AEST 23rd March.

23.03.2009

Ashley Wood speaking about t-shirt quantity, which goes with Oyabun:
"1 Tshirt, seems kinda weird to ship two of the same shirt in da box, plus I dropped the price to 280 instead of 300.
pretty much sold out the set is, a couple to go."

As for the rest of today's news..
Ashley Wood speaking about the new TK:
"I never thought I would crank out so many TK's, really enjoyed the process of making them ! The only TK in short term will be a new head, different hair etc. Dunno how we move them , but its coming ! "
And about WWR the Square bots going up for sale:
"GAR real soon, they are ready to go, only my paintjob tweaks are holding them up !"
Image leakage from 3A headquarters about plush (YES PLUSH!) Square and Ashley Wood said that it's true!
Check out the image, property of TRE.
From today I will try to share each day everything special from our board, I'm sure it may be useful to all the new boardies.
Please check out KidAkira's wonderfully done Night Watch Bramble's (Euro Defense Bramble chase figure) custom companion. This custom is done with so much detail and passion! And the creator of this kitbash promised to us, list all the items, which we need to make them by our own.
And check out very interesting thread about original art, which our boardies and Ashley Wood have hanging on their walls , please marvel at the original art and discuss it.
Latest info about WWR Square bots variety and how you can buy them:
"there are 10 designs, well 9 plus DIY
and if all goes to plan, 3 ways to buy
10 pack limited edition box with DIY square.
3 pack, 3 different editons to cover the 9 designs.
BLIND BOXXXXXXXX, but no with no doubles unless ordering over 9 ( chase squares in these ) !
Single square in the blind box editions, chases are included in these boxes randomly, but the singles will very limited, we are focusing on the larger packs."
Ashley Wood mentioned couple of WWR Square bots variants today: NW (Night Watch) and medic. And NW Square isn't a chase Square, 3A will not mention any chase variants, until the figures will ship. So everything is going to be very exciting and a lot of surprises around them!
Check out Ashley Wood's blog for new photos of Ash's work in progress. Plus there is very interesting drawings of two Oya's, what looks like possible Oyabun's packaging art.
Our art moderator Eseffinga done great thread about latest drawings in Ashley Wood's blog, please check it out here and discuss.
Oyabuns Yama and Naga are sold out at bambalandstore (less than 33 hours). Another great release from 3A sold out very fast, keep your eyes open for the next one! Congratulations to everyone, who got the Oya.
25.03.2009
We will see timer go off and pictures for WWR super-set Men from N.O.M very soon!
Read about upcoming 3A book, with awesome Jeremy Geddes "Cosmonaut" drawing, featured in the thread here.
TK's Aki&Kiba shipping is in the works now, they will ship out very soon.
TK's Aki&Kiba chase variant TK Interloper (limited to 20), would be right in the box, with the awesome sketch, explaining about him and what he is. And he is rarest TK of them all (Blanco and Negro were 22 each, instead of 20)!
Ashley Wood commenting about him:
"the interloper and sketch are in the box, you dont have to show us or send in, they ship out the same time as AKI and KIBA, of course if you dont want it we will swap it out. and if you want the interloper and still want a Aki or Kiba we can hook you up as well.
The interloper is the rarest of all TK's by 2 !
I just like the idea of a Mortis robot TK, its so obvious and stoopid."
Long waited pre-order of WWR Large Martin, will happen on 22nd April 9-00am AEST! We will see pictures of his awesome largeness soon.
Now the tease pictures of TK Interloper for your eye pleasure:
Discuss him here.

26.03.2009
There is going to be only one release in April, and it's going to be Large Martin! The largest WWR bot so far.
Long awaited pre-order of WWR Large Martin, will happen on 22nd April 9-00am AEST. We will see pictures of his awesome largeness soon. Mark this date with something in your calendar! Price to be determined and announced soon, but to me, he is worth absolutely every dollar spend on him.
Estimated Large Martin price: 300-330$.
New painting in Ashley Wood's blog. I love if Ashley would share more often his work in progress with us.
All Large Martin variants will be available for sale at bambaland, at the same time.
Ashley Wood about the looks for Venture - 3A official magazine:
"Im not sure what venture will be yet, the first one is mainly a history of 3A up till this period, info, photos art etc, Im hoping to dev it into sumin special. As we figure it out, ill put the info out."
A hint, about Large Martin variants:
"we are doing two, so we can cover our bases, simple as that !
one is red - ish, one is dark....
I agree a deep powder version would rock... mmm chase !"
27.03.2009
Ashley Wood about upcoming WWRP (1/12th scale) bots:
"dirty deeds , skull, look awesome in mini bertie, you guys will have to trust us !
the bertie with feet are way better than ol pegleg, looked good in painting and comics but aint so cool for figs."
And here is the picture of 3AA exclusive first WWRP bot out there - Desert Bramble! According to our beloved Ashley Wood each bot has the club members id number stamped on the underside of him!
And bot is without decals on that photo, so probably it will change. Stay tuned for new info.
28.03.2009
Comments from Ashley Wood about 3AA exclusive WWRP Desert Bramble photo, which was shown yesterday:
"that is a desert bramble, the white arm/shoulder is its affiliation. and no decals are on the bot yet."
Check out very interesting photos of Ashley Wood visiting Kenny Wong (Kennyswork) in Hong-Kong.
Today in Large Martin thread , Ashley Wood "mentioned" possibility of Night Watch variant of Large Martin. It was done in a form of joke, but who knows? Maybe it will go like with Euro Bramble, buy big set and get guaranteed chase variant.
3A Tomorrow Kings figures: Aki&Kiba are shipping next week! So be prepared for their awesomeness and possible TK Interloper chase figure (20 of them out there) or Blanc de Plume sketch, all drawn personally by Ashley Wood inside.
To remind you the look of the sketches:
29.03.2009
I feel like walking on thin ice speculating on variants of Large Martin and how much of them will be released, so I presenting to you Ashley Wood quote about that.
Decide for yourself what to think there:
"I think one is enough, the variations are really only to help cover different taste, not everyone likes dark and rusty, or red, or say deep powder etc. If you buy all just to complete a full 3A set ( and not totally digging each variant purchase ) your going to end up jaded and burnt out, I would rather have less sales than this."
"or just make more and roll the dice...... "
Perfect balance of WWRP (1/12th scale) Bramble, imagine how perfect he would be, with weapons and paint:
30.03.2009
Don't forget to check/participate in March photo contest , very cool stuff in there.
And same for March sketch contest, with theme - Seduction.
In both contest prize is Blanc de Plume.

Next 3A release Large Martin WWR (1/6th scale) tease picture from bambalandstore. I recommend to mark this date LARGE in your calendar.
News for so anticipated WWRP line: first two WWRP releases (after 3A WWRP Desert Bramble) as singles will be Deep Powder Bramble and Merc Bramble.
31.03.2009
Ashley Wood speaking about WWRP lines:
"there will still be wave packs, but singles just coming first due to production timing etc, the the three packs will come soon ! "
Speaking about multiple WWRP orders:
"you can order as many as you like of the small brambles, we need to sell many of them to fuel our war!"
Now we can build a huge armies and [s]play[/s] fight!
More than 39% of first 3A poster, were already sold. You better hurry up if you want one. If you don't know where to get them, go to www.bambalandstore.com, to find one.
Ashley Wood, about future sales of WWRP, how they would be sold, shipping and etc:
"Im thinking the 3 packs will just be three single boxes in a box, you get free shipping etc, or its going to be a while before they hit. As these will eventually be wholesale, the cost of offering different boxes for different size runs makes it economically shitty for us. We need this line to be a success to fuel our engines.
so if that was unclear, im thinking >>
threepack = three single boxes inside a shipping box made for them, you get free ems shipping and the price is 120 usd
singlepack = well, do I need to explain, 45 bucks, plus whatever shipping we figure out.
im doing three things at once here, so if thats vague.. it probably is "
"I want to do a crazy super gift box oneday, , but for now I want them out and with you guys, not waiting on boxes and economics etc"
TK's Aki&Kiba are shipping out at the end of this week!
First picture of Gēb? de Plume (100 pcs, exclusive 3AA edition), just for you:
It seems, that Gēbi de Plume is going to be last de Plume out there..
"Unless we do a 4 pack of re-issue deplumes to celebrate 5 years of 3A or the ilk , this will be the last De plume of this kind."
End of this year 3A is going to put on a ART/TOY Super show in Hong Kong. I wish I could go there..gotta start looking for cheap plane tickets. New special and limited toys would be presented there as well, Ashley Wood's art for sale. Got to go there! You can discuss and read about it here.
All 3AA members will get an email, before Gēb? de Plume goes on sale.
So please don't stress out, about it.
WWRP Three pack could contain: Deep Powder Bramble, Merc Bramble and Medic Bramble.

Ashley Wood about upcoming WWRP (1/12th scale) bots:
"dirty deeds , skull, look awesome in mini bertie, you guys will have to trust us !
the bertie with feet are way better than ol pegleg, looked good in painting and comics but aint so cool for figs."
And here is the picture of 3AA exclusive first WWRP bot out there - Desert Bramble! According to our beloved Ashley Wood each bot has the club members id number stamped on the underside of him!
And bot is without decals on that photo, so probably it will change. Stay tuned for new info.

Comments from Ashley Wood about 3AA exclusive WWRP Desert Bramble photo, which was shown yesterday:
"that is a desert bramble, the white arm/shoulder is its affiliation. and no decals are on the bot yet."
Check out very interesting photos of Ashley Wood visiting Kenny Wong (Kennyswork) in Hong-Kong.
Today in Large Martin thread , Ashley Wood "mentioned" possibility of Night Watch variant of Large Martin. It was done in a form of joke, but who knows? Maybe it will go like with Euro Bramble, buy big set and get guaranteed chase variant.
3A Tomorrow Kings figures: Aki&Kiba are shipping next week! So be prepared for their awesomeness and possible TK Interloper chase figure (20 of them out there) or Blanc de Plume sketch, all drawn personally by Ashley Wood inside.
To remind you the look of the sketches:

I feel like walking on thin ice speculating on variants of Large Martin and how much of them will be released, so I presenting to you Ashley Wood quote about that.
Decide for yourself what to think there:
"I think one is enough, the variations are really only to help cover different taste, not everyone likes dark and rusty, or red, or say deep powder etc. If you buy all just to complete a full 3A set ( and not totally digging each variant purchase ) your going to end up jaded and burnt out, I would rather have less sales than this."
"or just make more and roll the dice...... "
Perfect balance of WWRP (1/12th scale) Bramble, imagine how perfect he would be, with weapons and paint:

Ashley Wood speaking about WWRP lines:
"there will still be wave packs, but singles just coming first due to production timing etc, the the three packs will come soon ! "
Speaking about multiple WWRP orders:
"you can order as many as you like of the small brambles, we need to sell many of them to fuel our war!"
Now we can build a huge armies and [s]play[/s] fight!
More than 39% of first 3A poster, were already sold. You better hurry up if you want one. If you don't know where to get them, go to www.bambalandstore.com, to find one.
Ashley Wood, about future sales of WWRP, how they would be sold, shipping and etc:
"Im thinking the 3 packs will just be three single boxes in a box, you get free shipping etc, or its going to be a while before they hit. As these will eventually be wholesale, the cost of offering different boxes for different size runs makes it economically shitty for us. We need this line to be a success to fuel our engines.
so if that was unclear, im thinking >>
threepack = three single boxes inside a shipping box made for them, you get free ems shipping and the price is 120 usd
singlepack = well, do I need to explain, 45 bucks, plus whatever shipping we figure out.
im doing three things at once here, so if thats vague.. it probably is "
"I want to do a crazy super gift box oneday, , but for now I want them out and with you guys, not waiting on boxes and economics etc"
TK's Aki&Kiba are shipping out at the end of this week!
First picture of Gēb? de Plume (100 pcs, exclusive 3AA edition), just for you:
It seems, that Gēbi de Plume is going to be last de Plume out there..
"Unless we do a 4 pack of re-issue deplumes to celebrate 5 years of 3A or the ilk , this will be the last De plume of this kind."
End of this year 3A is going to put on a ART/TOY Super show in Hong Kong. I wish I could go there..gotta start looking for cheap plane tickets. New special and limited toys would be presented there as well, Ashley Wood's art for sale. Got to go there! You can discuss and read about it here.
All 3AA members will get an email, before Gēb? de Plume goes on sale.
So please don't stress out, about it.
WWRP Three pack could contain: Deep Powder Bramble, Merc Bramble and Medic Bramble.
