Here are last weekend 3ALegion pics which were featured at our WorldOf3A Instagram (please keep in mind that photos on Instagram are optimized in size for phone screens and don't come in high quality) by mmcmplx; emmmmgy; bonn7284
Look back at Sunday Q&A with Ashley Wood:
Q: Did I notice 3AGO Squares on display at CICF? Or these were regular 1/6th scale ones?
A: No 3AGO Squares shown yet!
Q: What are your plans to release the Valve Companion Mighty Square, will it be offered at Bambalandstore?
A: Actually I made it for my boys, and some Valve peeps, just a fun thing!
Q: Doctor Doom looks amazing! When we might see full reveal and lots of photos on the blog / LOOKBOOK?
A: We should be offering Doom very soon, so expect a Lookbook and other stuffs very soon!
Q: Since Bromwich is one of my favorite color ways I was wondering if you could tell me. You mentioned that a lot of factions had been revamped or changed in WWR Evol, did Bromwich crew go through a change and if they did, what is different ?
A: Bromwich stay pretty much the same in concept, part of the NUK in the WWR story, not a faction, but part of the greater NUK army ( NUK stands for NEW UNITED KINGDOM ).
Q: Seeing that Merde is ex-army, can you tell us what type of soldier he was (infantry etc.)? Maybe the next issue we can have a flashback storyline to cover his origins in the army and Dead Astros origin as well please? They’re my personal favorites.
A: Merde was a Major, classic adventure soldier, fighting in obscure skirmishes in the Himalayas against Nazi Yeti, to hunting war ghost criminals throughout Africa etc etc! Dead Astro origin and story will be told, that skull looks like another character of mine though….
Q: Will Cowbot use F-legion head?
A: Nope, new head.
Q: Can you please share any intel on new Popbot? Is it going to be bigger than previous one and when it might be available?
A: Same size / similar to the last, it's more bulky, more in line with later versions, ready when it is!
Q: Any chance we'll be seeing any more Tomorrow Kings in the 1/12 scale? Whether it's some of the upcoming releases or 1/12 versions of existing characters, either would be extremely awesome. Some of us, while in awe of the 1/6, can only logistically support the 1/12, and there are ample supporters invested in the line. Spread the 7Bones love! But don't spread yourself too thin in the process. Cheers, thanks again!
A: I think at retail, as this gives us more scope for the support and a further reach that Bamba doesn’t give us with this size. I think a 7B set would be kinda epic!
Q: What's the latest on Spawn? Has Todd given his blessing for the first couple of figures and what are they?
A: Spawn will just pop up when you least expect it, that's Spawn's style!
Q: A while back, you mentioned a vampire character in AK. Are there still plans for one? What about Werewolves and ZOMBENSTEIN©?
A: The AK world has it all, vampires are there, if Tommy had fangs he would be a good vampire etc… vampire is a large umbrella term.. Were creatures are cool as fuck, but the wolf is kinda tired, maybe a werecat or werefox… As Tommy, Shadow, Johan and Livingston C-gull traverse the greater AK world while running from the Dead Astro you will see different shit!
Q: About Pudding Boss, what's the story behind him? Are another "pudding" exist in some of your project now? Pudding Square maybe?
A: Pudding Boss has a custard like secretion over his head, to which a passer by remarked , damn that shit make you look like a Pudding!
Q: Can you tell us more about the new Ninja Tomorrow Queens, which debuted at CICF? Will they be part of the upcoming Irimi TQ sale, or offered sometime later?
A: Being pre-made for our new world of 3A, no waiting!
Q: Really hoped to see Iron Panda Mighty Square, any chance that you can squeeze one into this sale or Iron Panda doesn’t use Mighties?
A: Ha funny story, well not so funny if you're a Panda fan, we kinda thought we had it, but we messed up, we are working on him and he will join the ranks. Actually we had a few more that never made it up, why, dunno, I guess that's just 3A… Keep an eye out for the Panda!
Q: What purpose does the mask serve for Tomorrow King Kozo? I understand it helps him traverse where he needs to, but is it filled with just plain oxygen, or something more interesting and magical (metaphysical)?
A: Oxygen as the Underverse is a void, needed when hanging out in it! Which reminds me the Bamba “KOZO” will be on Bamba early Nov pre-made!
Q: Any interest in doing a N.O.M. origins 19th century style plume figure? Maybe a line of pre-WWR figures, a flashback line….who or what are the Callen?
A: I did some gentlemen NOM designs with that victorian feel, and some vintage Euro influenced designs, wasn’t sure you guys would be that interested.
Q: Is there a chance for reworked 6TH Anniversary Tomorrow Kings trio offered for 24 hours at Bambalandstore? Maybe as TKLUB? I am loving all of them and would love to have classic TKs in my collection eventually.
A: Maybe a 3pack, different decals… I will chat with Siu Monday, see what we can do, if it can be great, sure why not! Will get back to you!
Q: Will we see any blurries or some teasers for DONKER figures this year? I remember you said that you dont want to rush on them.. but after seeing new 10’' little shadow i just cant wait to see Little Yolandi!
A: Maybe, 10” body is kinda perfect for Yolandi!
Q: Please do 10” Little Shadow Cosplay: Tank girl; Lass; Bang Tidy; Lady Sham! How does that sound?
A: Shadow don’t play!
Q: It may be the most anticipated 3A drop of the year: can we have a (blurry) peek at TK Archer?
A: Really, MOST ANTICIPATED? Well he has a bow thingy, and a cool poncho thingy...
Q: Anything you can share (release date, specifics, etc) about the 3A x Bravest Warriors collaboration?
A: ASAP, they are looking great too!
Q: Is there a Square even larger than the Mighty Squares? A SUPREME SQUARE or an EMPEROR SQUARE perhaps?
A: Mighty was the largest of all Squares!
Q: I'm a little curious about the mentioned Goth TK (and hopefully TQ) mentioned a while ago. It's super early and they might not even exist in sketches yet, but I was wondering what era of Goth fashion you'll be shooting for? Are we talking more modern bondage pants with straps, more recent cybergoth, or the classic Sisters of Mercy aviators and leather jacket style? I'm kinda hoping for the latter classic look, but I can also see a lot of potential strapping grenades to all those straps on bondage pants. I guess it could also be the more Japan inspired Gothic Lolita look, but with the UKTK figures being so heavily inspired by classic punk style is it safe to assume you'll be going back to the genre’s roots?
A: Well I’m old school goth, so don’t expect anything from the new school, think, Sisters of Mercy to Xmal Deutschland and the stuff that would would go in-between!
Q: Any chance of a teaser of the new Caesar from the Rothchild Battlechild set? It is getting closer to Q4 and was just wondering if the hatchery had any tidbits they could release?
A: Yup, I’m sure very soon. I have a final Roth Caesar to share!
Q: I have a question about GID Bomb Mighty Square. Is it going to be weathered GID and is the bomb removable?
A: Light weathering to show details and no the bomb isn’t removable, carries the bomb to the target and goes up with it!
Q: I absolutely love that you guys have the Destiny License!. You said the Titan is gonna be the first figure. Are there any plans for a Warlock?
A: Warlock is there. With all our lines we set out to make as many as we can, the rest is up to the support the line gets, like Halo, not fast output but we keep going. Two releases very soon for Halo!
Q: Obviously, your fans owe a lot of inspiration to you (as evidenced by the Bamba drop sketches), but do you find yourself inspired by the Legion in turn? What, if any, specific threeA figures would not have existed without fans being involved in (at least inspiration for) the concept?
A: I'm always inspired that you guys are there to support my worlds, I think the greatest influence is when I see there is support for ideas that I have mentioned or used, that always gives me the energy to go for it! I'm fond of band references so here is another one, when band plays live to a great audience its lifted to put on a better show, that's very much me/3A, a great audience I have, so I strive to put on a better show, that's a great inspiration!
Q: Mo Prostrate and Andy were mentioned as being 'in the works'. Do you find it to be more pressure to create the more iconic Popbot characters?
A: Nah, actually easier, not delayed - just in line, limited sculptors and hands on deck make it slow going sometimes. Andy is cool, but needs skinnier legs than we had, so that alone takes a little while to get sorted etc!
Q: Is De Plumes prey box a living thing? The shape of the wires in Marquis' suggest they are organs of some kind. If so, how are they created?
A: Each box is constructed by the De Plume, the design is unique per De Plume and normally arrives while exploring their inner world, on the vapours! De Plume see all as living, a trinity of existence !
Q: Who is behind visual mapping on 1:1 TK at Taiwan Toy Festival? Really loved it!
A: It was damn cool in person, Beast Kingdom should know I'm sure, I'll ask them!
Q: Saw couple of photos of Doctor Doom from Guangzhou and he looks amazing! Is his cloak going to be green? Any change to see proper photos on the blog soon? And finally, who is going to be next after Doctor Doom?!
A: As mentioned earlier a load of DOOM soon, all info will be revealed! Soon as Doom is up and about we will reveal the next Character in my Marvel universe!
Q: Can you divulge what the extra space garb is in the 2014 3AA pack for renewing members, and what the difference is for the 6 year vets?
A: It's Lass’s panties, kinda obvious man, c'mon 1:1 size , common knowledge! Comes in a loverly gift box too! I hope to see some photos online. Legion, rock that shit! This info was all there!
Q: What’s your favorite movie ever? And is there a movie, which you would love to make figures from?
A: Ever is a long time, I’m not ready to commit to that marriage! Figures from a film, I would like to make the Frank character, the Fassbender film thingy etc.
Q: I appreciate that you are keeping Mighty Squares sales as long, as possible. In the process of collecting funds for several colorways and wanted to ask you: could you please do a heads-up 24 hours prior to closing the sale?
A: Hope leaving it up helped some of you guys , have to take down soon though! I will make a blog post to announce its closing!
Ashley Wood about 3AA 2014 membership package:
"So 3AA'ers I thought I would share some images of your set, yup it took a fuck long time, but it's thing of beauty, Brent Ashe package design, my fucking character design and art, Siu making sure this got made as best as we could (and boy we went beyond the initial design)! Something like this is really complicated to arrange from manufacturing to tweaking the designs, as you can see this ain't some bumfuck one color vinyl, there is much going on here! No QC issues, no real issue except time! So don't let those lil emo boys ruin ya day with drivel!
But you know, that ain't your problem, it's ours, but we have made what we believe is the best 3AA set so far, and that's what really matters, we really are sorry for the wait, if it's all too much, think of it as a super early 2015 set.. why not, fuck the rules right!
Lasstranaut is really a special character in my world, she represents much and one day I'll explain, but for now you can write your own story for her, in a way she represents everything!
MMM I still remember the first image I made for Lassy, never thought I would have her totem!
A bit of info for you paranoid types, the hose for Lass's suit is in the box, the part of foam with nothing in it is for the membership card, so don't worry it's all there!!!"
Adventure Kartel Driven Snow info on the blog:
"DRIVEN SNOW will be in Bamba sometime this month, we shall give a heads up right here when she is!"

October 24th – TKLUB Irimi TQ pre-order at bambalandstore.com
Here are last weekend 3ALegion pics which were featured at our WorldOf3A Instagram (please keep in mind that photos on Instagram are optimized in size for phone screens and don't come in high quality) by n_k_z_ ; rophabet ; tach_ograph
Look back at Sunday Q&A with Ashley Wood:
Q: I love Custard and Emma, thank you for making them! Is Laika going to be a retailer sale or Bambaland? Is it going to be polystone or vinyl? I personally prefer vinyl or plastic.
A: Resin or some similar material as we don’t sell enough to cover costs, the mold costs just make it not an option when it comes to some stuff, shit, but reality!
Q: Do Tomorrow Kings have childhood of some sort or are they ‘harvested’ after maturity?
A: They train from childhood, when they hit certain skill levels they go into active service.
Q: Was Astro N.O.M. one of the N.O.M. members that attacked Rothchild’s Moon Base?
A: No N.O.M. attacked Rothchild directly, during the moon exodus a N.O.M. operative helped by convincing a defense bot to bomb Rothchild's Moonbase etc.
Q: What does Barguest want? Whats his end game? Total domination? The supreme under his boot? We know he has the gravedigger faction of bots but does he also have his own plumes? Like a army of fallen plumes? Is Barguest allied with Kuan or is Kuan doin his own thing? If Jung de Plume is Kuans disciple why is he not fallen with the cloth face mask? Will We see a fallen version of Jung?
A: That's not to reveal here…
Q: Is Handsome Wu shipping soon? I'm positively ecstatic for his release, as I and a friend split the pack! One question though, does he have pants under his suit, or just the suit?
A: Ha, they have stuff on, no free bagging pandas!
Q: This is classic question and recurring question and maybe boring one, but I (and we) feel never enough about squares, and you said WWRp Square MK1 hasn't retired yet, so.. are the super pack of WWRp Squares MK1 are still in the project? 20 or 30 pack of WWRp Squares MK1 would be cool!
A: It would!
Q: So, Girl Neptune is one of "The Seven". Who else is in this group (Sham, Lass, Misty Slush?), and what is their primary motive? You mention they "can do just about anything", care to elaborate? Thanks!
A: I will one day, these stories and concepts are my life's works and will be told over time. MS and MRS are in there to, they all represent a circle around Lasstranaut who sits at the middle!
Q: About the Elite Hatchery Guard, as I’ve only ever heard him referred to as the before-mentioned, or simply "Hatcher", I was wondering if he has a proper name?
A: Aiki
Q: What's the story behind HARD 30 CORP in WWR universe? Do they have another bots (not only Mighty Square)? Because I love to build colorway squad, and their color and insignia is very cool.
A: HARD30 are an engineering corp, so far there has been Mighty and a regular Square, but keep a look out for some upcoming stuff very soon! I am very fond of the name and design too!
Q: When are we going to see more WWR EVOL 4SQUARES colorways?
A: When we can sample them, hopefully soon!
Q: Regarding Wanka Square and golden ticket, I missed one, but was thinking about buying one on the secondary market. Will the rights to buy 3AGO Square will be transferred as well? And can you please share more about 3AGO Squares, are they only for Golden ticket holders or that’s for specific colorway?
A: At this time only customers who got it directly from us will be offered, as it's the only way to be sure of the purchase, as we are not asking for the ticket to be returned etc.
Q: Are you planning to introduce Pascha figures in 3AGO scale?
A: Nope, Pascha is 1/6th all the way, she demands that size! Or bigger!
Q: I have a question regarding the Popbot Ninja TQs, what did you mean saying on last Sundays Q & A "Being pre-made for our new world of 3A?" What is "New World of 3A", is it an upcoming toy show/festival or revamp of the World of 3A site? Thanks!
A: Well 2015 will see a new way of selling at 3A, we want to take the wait out of toys, at least for half the releases that are not beholden to the traditional pre-order system, some lines like licensed ones really have to stay in that realm. January will see the new system start to be rolled out!
Q: Any chance for Silver or Gold E.D.O after Bronze one?
A: I would love to do a dirty chrome version, DEATH STAR EDOI!
Q: So are we going to get to see AK MegaZomb in time from Halloween? Any hints for Halloween drops this year?
A: Bummer, but no, I’m waiting just like you, somewhere the Mega Zomb waits in sampling! Halloween is a strange and mysterious time , who knows what will appear… But if all goes well we are sure excited to introduce a new branch of 3A...
Q: We didn’t have a lot of TKLUB releases this year (about to have a couple now though), but I wanted to know where this line is going and what are your plans regarding TKLUB for the next year?
A: Well I want to wrap up this TKLUB asap, before end of year, so you guys can get those TQ’s. Then rethink it all, I think the KLUB part is great and a fun way to say thanks, but it becomes complicated when not managing it correctly! Due to a relatively large setup (as in output) and the main output managed and designed by basically two people (Hi Siu) it can get a little complicated and we are in the process of streamlining and making it all work in a better way, this takes time and there is no simple overnight fix, but as hinted at 2015 will see us putting our new systems in place so you guys have a fun experience with 3A! I know that many think we have huge teams doing everything, and why the fuck doesn’t it just run smoother etc, but simply we are few doing much and really reburning our candles at both ends to deliver the best we can!
Q: With the release of Little Shadow coming up soon, is there a chance for a new Zombot ? I was not part of 3A when the first few were released and I would love a chance at it.
A: Well I will tell ya now, SUNDAY MORNING ORGY OF ADVENTURE, has a Zombot.. I still love the 4pack set from the Beijing show...
Q: I'm excited to learn more about Merde and his particular story arc. Any plans for the Downside, Golden Zombot or Lemon Guard in 2015?
A: Ol Lemon, really should have his day stands in my studio guarding away.. Golden exists already too.. Don’t forget the Golden Dopiness Combat Trainer, KING COCKLER….
Q: Who would win in a fight a Mumb or a Zomb? How dangerous are the Mumbs? is there a Mega Mumb?
A: Mumbs are strong and fast, they mince the Zomb.
Q: I wanted to know more about clear body Micromen shown at latest conventions? Are they Series two or you improved the first one?
A: They are from our ongoing retail String Diver series, the ones shown are from our retail selection for territory outside Japan etc, where our first release was restricted too. Will have much info soon!
Q: Who or what did the hand of fate belong to originally?
A: Mmmm, good question, my notes say it belonged to Merde Mission's nemesis THE GALLOW! So I guess, it belonged to THE GALLOW! The sketch is cool too, must get around to making him!
Q: I was curious about The Destiny license ? You will probably make every class: Titan, Warlock and Hunter. But will you do both sex ? Female and male of every Class ? What about Race ? Human, Exo and Awoken? I am just curious If I could buy the character I am playing.
A: We will make as many as we can, but really, the longevity of the line relies on the support, we have them all in active development, but need your support to make them all happen!
Q: The 6th TK drop caused a stir (not in a good way), and the manner of the sale is raising some questions. When you described the changes that 3A is making, regarding sales, you mentioned that things could be getting more "dangerous". Is this last drop an example of how further sales will take place for 3A?
A: It wasn’t that different from LTD we have done over the years, in fact there were quite a few, a lot of the restriction came from some customers buying 10 of each etc, which we recycled on return to the office after sale. Never want to make you guys upset, but we could only get a certain amount pre-made in time, originally there were only going to be the show versions but we thought Bamba should get a chance too.
Q: What will be the next 3A Parade release? Any guesstimate on a sale date?
A: SEAFIGHT, and soon as we can, Parade release one is shipping very soon, I think you guys that supported the line will be very happy!
Q: Can you give us any indication of what might be in the 3AA 2015 pack?
A: Made quick and delivered in a timely manner.
Q: Hey Ash! Missed you at NYCC this year, but fully understand how you can't be at Taiwan and NY at once. Any chance you will be in town for the convention next year or it’s April 2015 for the Levine show?
A: Well we are rethinking our shows, looking at ways to make the experience better and different!
Q: Just got Adventure Kartel in my hands and it’s awesome, thank you so much for doing that! What is next? Are we going to see WWR book shipped soon?
A: Thanks, I believe the WWR book is December. Felt good to see the AK book, have quite a few books lined up!
Q: Can we get an update on how the more recent events in the WWR universe have effected some of the classic forces (Bromwich, Deimos, Gravedigger, etc)?
A: As the toys released these stories will be revealed, part of the story telling of WWR.
Q: Are you finished working on Kowloon Ghost Leg? Can’t wait for it and when we might see another leg like that?
A: Soon as we ship them, which is this month I’m told ( I kinda dropped the ball on the prints in the boxes, so don’t blame 3A, blame Ash) ! We have the clear and TAT legs good to go. All part of the ASH WOOD Collection … Will be dropping onto on our first 1:1 SQUARE SALE soon, bought and shipped from Bamba, pre-made and good to go!

Look back at latest Q&A session with Ashley Wood:
Q: With the recent World War Robot Mighty Square sale, I was wondering what the Mighty Squares actually do on the battlefield and what advantage they have over the smaller Squares?
A: They are like hubs, mobile logistic centers. They can also be fitted to haul heavy shit, etc.
Q: Any chance to see entirely new Adventure Kartel Fighting JC at Bambaland this or next year? I love this guy!
A: I think next year will herald BFTG JC.
Q: You mentioned there was a possibility of a 6th Anniversary Tomorrow King 3-pack to be made available as general sales, any update on that? And what are the chances for offering these classic TKs bundled with some new bot heads (killer for new collectors and veterans who have OG ones)?
A: With our packed schedule it doesn’t seem possible at this time, we have new TK’s to focus on anyway, great to see the classic again, but our eyes are firmly on the future!
Q: I'm a huge VALVe fan and own all of threeA Portal related stuff. What are the chances of seeing the Half-Life figs that was mentioned earlier in the year?
A: We are working away on Half Life 2 in 1/6th and we will be having a range on the 8” 3AGO line. More info when closer to release!
Q: Seems that a lot of Tomorrow Kings are searching the Underverse lately, why is that?
A: Because it's where everything started and will end. Plus they, like all of us, are looking for their home.
Q: I'm curious about the Irimi Mortis Hoaxer, why does she have a gas mask? Is it Irimi disguised as a Mortis or the other way around?
A: Not a mask, that's the face.
Q: Anything you can share about upcoming 1:1 Squares sale you briefly mentioned? Like a price and how shipping options would be handled?
A: Price includes shipping, which is actually the largest part of the price. Price and other info when it's time, these are my brillo boxes, this is what 3A gives me the ability to create - large items without the hindrance of market forces. These Squares represent a path I have been going towards since I started 3A. So I guess I can clear up some stuff. The Squares will in fact be on Bambaland now, as well it's my store and everyone knows it and won't have any issues that using my other store might incur! As said the price is including shipping. There are 20 variants made, 15 will be sold on Bamba, instead of artist editions I'm just keeping some them, and not diluting the market with AP editions. There are also 5 DIY versions to be painted by yours truly, but not sold with these editions, but for later gallery or show events. We will have the final price this coming week, once the shippers finalize the costings.
Q: Huge Microman fan here and you have my envy! Please do share, how does it feel to design your own? And what Microman awesomeness is coming our way?
A: Feels Great, a dream come true! If all goes well we will have some new designs very soon!
Q: Any info you can share about the AKLUB Ms. Shadow figure? Will we see any photos before she ships or you want to surprise us?
A: Soon!!
Q: Any chance of doing one of those Tomorrow Kings masks again from Re-Venture? Would love one of those! TKLUB thingy or some sort of anniversary?
A: They were creepy and great, maybe a new one one day if we do a 3A show!!
Q: The addition of the Ronin solidified that a certain amount of Tomorrow Kings are able to turn away from the primary mission. Are there any outright nasty, bad-apple, criminal TKs wandering around (Lopers aside)?
A: Lopers are not bad, infact they are probably the best chance the TK have! There are many TK’s that fall away from their teachings, some just wander, some make a difference, some change the universe.!
Q: Can we please get Future Mort for 3AA 2015?
A: He is on the list!
Q: Why has it come to “the last TK” what happened to the DNA samples?
A: Well it's because…………….
Q: Excited to see what plans you have for the Halloween release! Would love to see your take on a monster line!?!
A: Well Halloween is special this year as we get to introduce our new designer Crystal! Watch the blog!
Q: You mentioned that Dead Astronaut Gangsta is going to be employing the help of Golden Dolphin to hunt Tommy but what does Peppermint Grove think of her brothers actions. Is she going to be a “villain" also or is she siding with Tommy and the gang?
A: She wants her brother's robot hand and quite willing to kill him to get it. Peppermint doesn’t really think much of the Dolphin, her plans and thoughts are on bigger things.
Q: Do you have any plans for a 2015 calendar? I really need one!
A: I do, but do you guys really want one?
Q: Will we see more hand options included with figures down the line. Fists, better gripping sword hands, eta?
A: Some have come with them already, some don’t, depends on the toy and my thinking on it.
Q: With Daywatch & Nightwatch bots being confirmed as NOM ever since "the parade",... are there any other “NOM bot factions" out there under their regular sway? Emanation & Calignosity stork eyes look to be the start of something newly revealed, so I’m curious if the 1/6 world will see NOM's bots broaden out.
A: I'm sure they will….
Q: I don't know that much (really anything at all) about Adventure Kartel, but seeing the inclusion of JC, one would think that there is somewhat of a Judeo-Christian presence in the AK universe. Are there other biblical entities present in that world (angels, demons, Saints (besides the obvious Saint of Vengeance), Lucifer, etc.?
A: AK has everything going, it's my sandbox, you name the combo, it can happen!
Q: You mentioned threeA show in Hong Kong this December, very excited about it and hoping that I can make it there. Are there any dates? Is it going to be up for few days / weeks?
A: Well we have a booth at Toy show in December in Hong Kong, all info dates on the blog soon!
Q: There was talks about a Transformers line a while ago. Is there anything you can share about it?
A: On sale very very soon! Really, watch the blog!
Q: I have always been a fan of 1/6 and 1/4 scale articulated figures and I see them as a form of art, which is why I also want to make them as well. However I do not know how to begin and would like to ask for your advice so that I may start my path to make them for fun and have a career doing what you love to do like you. What do I have to do or learn to make 1/6 articulated figures like you and other well known 1/6 scale artists? What skills or experiences do I need to acquire? Thank you very much for your time, I hope you can help me and I look forward for your response.
A: Just do it, get a 1/6th body and go for it ( make the heads hand and feet, hand sculpt, use 3D software and cheap 3D printers to produce etc ), but the best skill, don’t follow or do what is being done, the world needs your vision and originality, not more Hot Toys, or Ash Wood 3A looking stuff, the best path is your path, and it will be the most successful. A hint, sure you can take and build on successful stuff out there, but at best it's a remix, you're not the originator nor really an artist, just an engineer of minor change and smoke, be an artist, be original and not look to be popular, but a way to serve a new vision!
Q: it’s revealed that three original Tomorrow Kings (Hideo, Yoji, and Kenshiro) have brothers (the 7th TK), but how about Tomorrow Queens threeway (Yubi, Odayaka, Yumiko), do they have any sisters? Yubi is my favorite TQ so far..
A: The TKLUB FREE TQ’s are pretty much that, the same lineage!
Q. Before I renew my 3AA I would like to know, will the majority of figures released during 2015 be available for 3AA Members for a 24 hr period as they have been in previous years? Several times now you have mentioned changes in 2015 to improve things, and also more pre-made figures to avoid waiting. Based on previous pre-made releases this seems to mean limited numbers and a frenzy on Bamba to grab toys. Will 3AA members get any guarantees with this new approach? I certainly would be very concerned about renewing if not. I am sure I am not alone in being unable to regularly monitor a website and wait for random drops over a 24hr period. I certainly cannot be awake regularly at 9.00am Hong Kong time either. Please can you reassure that 3A toys won’t get harder to buy for 3AA members?
A: I get that, but the problem with guarantee per figure is we cannot make stuff ahead of time, which is a path for 3A, sure many toys require pre-order, expensive or toys that cannot fall easily into pre-made territory, etc (but with guaranteed delivery dates and short production windows). But I think the ability to buy and get a toy the same week is a good trade off, sure there is chance you can’t get them all. From all accounts as we talk to the members at shows and online, is that the discount is paramount, the biggest complaint is the wait, the delays, so we have taken note. We have a good idea on the amounts needed for toys, we can gauge what's needed, but someone will always miss out I’m sure, not fun, but we want to change the way things are done and that will be met with opposition. I hope the reason you collect our toys is because you love them, not because it's easy to collect or simple, I concur that doesn’t make up for the fact that you might not get something you really want either. So in short 2015 3AA will be similar, but there will be pre-made ready to ship toys that have no guarantee attached for anyone. Maybe this time next year I won’t be writing these responses as 3A is a ghost due to my ideas of selling toys, but you know, at least I didn’t just keep my head down with my eye on your wallet stick with the status quo, enjoy 6-12 month pre-order windows to milk the toy market down the last dollar, etc and take no risks, bring a different (actually the old way of selling toys) way of doing things to market. We love every 3AA member, and never would we want shade brought to your world, but we have to try and do things differently, it's in my blood, and I think many of you will get that.
Q: With all the bots you make, did threeA ever thought about diecast? Berties for example would be jaw dropping…
A: It would be great, fully agree!
Q: Is there still a possibility of getting a threeA Covenant Elite as part of the Halo line, or are only Spartans like the Master Chief being developed at this time?
A: We have the Elite, actually one of the first figures we started, we want to release it too!
Q: Are there any Fallen or Hive figures in development for the Destiny line? I’d really love to see a Fallen Captain or Hive Wizard figure.
A: When we get these licenses we do with the intention of making all the cool characters , the only thing stopping the line covering all the bases is the success of it. I know our Destiny figures will be unmatched, like our Halo toys are the best going, we take great pride in these and really hope to deliver the characters we all want to see!
Q: When are we gonna see a photo or teaser of the World War Robot 1/6 Birdcage? Really want a look so I can see what I am saving for. There are a few WWR things coming up for preorder in December, but cant get them all unfortunately. So need to plan a little.
A: When it's ready to show, over the years I have found it detrimental to show before finished, opinions are forged without all parts in place! Birdy is moving along great and we will reveal ASAP! I do appreciate your needing to plan as well!
Q: What was the most fun and challenging part in making your own Doctor Doom?
A: Actually not a challenge, it's just fun, I grew up with this stuff, spent life thinking about Marvel comics, kinda just flows out. Such a privilege!
Q: Any chance you make use of the clear body (like used on Paschaborg) in the world of AK with a ghost character maybe? With GID eyes?
A: I think of the design of Paschaborg and it made sense and worked, has a machine like feel etc. To get a cool ghost effect would take some re-thinking, who doesn’t love a ghost right !!!

Here are last weekend 3ALegion pics which were featured at our WorldOf3A Instagram (please keep in mind that photos on Instagram are optimized in size for phone screens and don't come in high quality) by mmcmplx; emmmmgy; bonn7284
Look back at Sunday Q&A with Ashley Wood:
Q: Did I notice 3AGO Squares on display at CICF? Or these were regular 1/6th scale ones?
A: No 3AGO Squares shown yet!
Q: What are your plans to release the Valve Companion Mighty Square, will it be offered at Bambalandstore?
A: Actually I made it for my boys, and some Valve peeps, just a fun thing!
Q: Doctor Doom looks amazing! When we might see full reveal and lots of photos on the blog / LOOKBOOK?
A: We should be offering Doom very soon, so expect a Lookbook and other stuffs very soon!
Q: Since Bromwich is one of my favorite color ways I was wondering if you could tell me. You mentioned that a lot of factions had been revamped or changed in WWR Evol, did Bromwich crew go through a change and if they did, what is different ?
A: Bromwich stay pretty much the same in concept, part of the NUK in the WWR story, not a faction, but part of the greater NUK army ( NUK stands for NEW UNITED KINGDOM ).
Q: Seeing that Merde is ex-army, can you tell us what type of soldier he was (infantry etc.)? Maybe the next issue we can have a flashback storyline to cover his origins in the army and Dead Astros origin as well please? They’re my personal favorites.
A: Merde was a Major, classic adventure soldier, fighting in obscure skirmishes in the Himalayas against Nazi Yeti, to hunting war ghost criminals throughout Africa etc etc! Dead Astro origin and story will be told, that skull looks like another character of mine though….
Q: Will Cowbot use F-legion head?
A: Nope, new head.
Q: Can you please share any intel on new Popbot? Is it going to be bigger than previous one and when it might be available?
A: Same size / similar to the last, it's more bulky, more in line with later versions, ready when it is!
Q: Any chance we'll be seeing any more Tomorrow Kings in the 1/12 scale? Whether it's some of the upcoming releases or 1/12 versions of existing characters, either would be extremely awesome. Some of us, while in awe of the 1/6, can only logistically support the 1/12, and there are ample supporters invested in the line. Spread the 7Bones love! But don't spread yourself too thin in the process. Cheers, thanks again!
A: I think at retail, as this gives us more scope for the support and a further reach that Bamba doesn’t give us with this size. I think a 7B set would be kinda epic!
Q: What's the latest on Spawn? Has Todd given his blessing for the first couple of figures and what are they?
A: Spawn will just pop up when you least expect it, that's Spawn's style!
Q: A while back, you mentioned a vampire character in AK. Are there still plans for one? What about Werewolves and ZOMBENSTEIN©?
A: The AK world has it all, vampires are there, if Tommy had fangs he would be a good vampire etc… vampire is a large umbrella term.. Were creatures are cool as fuck, but the wolf is kinda tired, maybe a werecat or werefox… As Tommy, Shadow, Johan and Livingston C-gull traverse the greater AK world while running from the Dead Astro you will see different shit!
Q: About Pudding Boss, what's the story behind him? Are another "pudding" exist in some of your project now? Pudding Square maybe?
A: Pudding Boss has a custard like secretion over his head, to which a passer by remarked , damn that shit make you look like a Pudding!
Q: Can you tell us more about the new Ninja Tomorrow Queens, which debuted at CICF? Will they be part of the upcoming Irimi TQ sale, or offered sometime later?
A: Being pre-made for our new world of 3A, no waiting!
Q: Really hoped to see Iron Panda Mighty Square, any chance that you can squeeze one into this sale or Iron Panda doesn’t use Mighties?
A: Ha funny story, well not so funny if you're a Panda fan, we kinda thought we had it, but we messed up, we are working on him and he will join the ranks. Actually we had a few more that never made it up, why, dunno, I guess that's just 3A… Keep an eye out for the Panda!
Q: What purpose does the mask serve for Tomorrow King Kozo? I understand it helps him traverse where he needs to, but is it filled with just plain oxygen, or something more interesting and magical (metaphysical)?
A: Oxygen as the Underverse is a void, needed when hanging out in it! Which reminds me the Bamba “KOZO” will be on Bamba early Nov pre-made!
Q: Any interest in doing a N.O.M. origins 19th century style plume figure? Maybe a line of pre-WWR figures, a flashback line….who or what are the Callen?
A: I did some gentlemen NOM designs with that victorian feel, and some vintage Euro influenced designs, wasn’t sure you guys would be that interested.
Q: Is there a chance for reworked 6TH Anniversary Tomorrow Kings trio offered for 24 hours at Bambalandstore? Maybe as TKLUB? I am loving all of them and would love to have classic TKs in my collection eventually.
A: Maybe a 3pack, different decals… I will chat with Siu Monday, see what we can do, if it can be great, sure why not! Will get back to you!
Q: Will we see any blurries or some teasers for DONKER figures this year? I remember you said that you dont want to rush on them.. but after seeing new 10’' little shadow i just cant wait to see Little Yolandi!
A: Maybe, 10” body is kinda perfect for Yolandi!
Q: Please do 10” Little Shadow Cosplay: Tank girl; Lass; Bang Tidy; Lady Sham! How does that sound?
A: Shadow don’t play!
Q: It may be the most anticipated 3A drop of the year: can we have a (blurry) peek at TK Archer?
A: Really, MOST ANTICIPATED? Well he has a bow thingy, and a cool poncho thingy...
Q: Anything you can share (release date, specifics, etc) about the 3A x Bravest Warriors collaboration?
A: ASAP, they are looking great too!
Q: Is there a Square even larger than the Mighty Squares? A SUPREME SQUARE or an EMPEROR SQUARE perhaps?
A: Mighty was the largest of all Squares!
Q: I'm a little curious about the mentioned Goth TK (and hopefully TQ) mentioned a while ago. It's super early and they might not even exist in sketches yet, but I was wondering what era of Goth fashion you'll be shooting for? Are we talking more modern bondage pants with straps, more recent cybergoth, or the classic Sisters of Mercy aviators and leather jacket style? I'm kinda hoping for the latter classic look, but I can also see a lot of potential strapping grenades to all those straps on bondage pants. I guess it could also be the more Japan inspired Gothic Lolita look, but with the UKTK figures being so heavily inspired by classic punk style is it safe to assume you'll be going back to the genre’s roots?
A: Well I’m old school goth, so don’t expect anything from the new school, think, Sisters of Mercy to Xmal Deutschland and the stuff that would would go in-between!
Q: Any chance of a teaser of the new Caesar from the Rothchild Battlechild set? It is getting closer to Q4 and was just wondering if the hatchery had any tidbits they could release?
A: Yup, I’m sure very soon. I have a final Roth Caesar to share!
Q: I have a question about GID Bomb Mighty Square. Is it going to be weathered GID and is the bomb removable?
A: Light weathering to show details and no the bomb isn’t removable, carries the bomb to the target and goes up with it!
Q: I absolutely love that you guys have the Destiny License!. You said the Titan is gonna be the first figure. Are there any plans for a Warlock?
A: Warlock is there. With all our lines we set out to make as many as we can, the rest is up to the support the line gets, like Halo, not fast output but we keep going. Two releases very soon for Halo!
Q: Obviously, your fans owe a lot of inspiration to you (as evidenced by the Bamba drop sketches), but do you find yourself inspired by the Legion in turn? What, if any, specific threeA figures would not have existed without fans being involved in (at least inspiration for) the concept?
A: I'm always inspired that you guys are there to support my worlds, I think the greatest influence is when I see there is support for ideas that I have mentioned or used, that always gives me the energy to go for it! I'm fond of band references so here is another one, when band plays live to a great audience its lifted to put on a better show, that's very much me/3A, a great audience I have, so I strive to put on a better show, that's a great inspiration!
Q: Mo Prostrate and Andy were mentioned as being 'in the works'. Do you find it to be more pressure to create the more iconic Popbot characters?
A: Nah, actually easier, not delayed - just in line, limited sculptors and hands on deck make it slow going sometimes. Andy is cool, but needs skinnier legs than we had, so that alone takes a little while to get sorted etc!
Q: Is De Plumes prey box a living thing? The shape of the wires in Marquis' suggest they are organs of some kind. If so, how are they created?
A: Each box is constructed by the De Plume, the design is unique per De Plume and normally arrives while exploring their inner world, on the vapours! De Plume see all as living, a trinity of existence !
Q: Who is behind visual mapping on 1:1 TK at Taiwan Toy Festival? Really loved it!
A: It was damn cool in person, Beast Kingdom should know I'm sure, I'll ask them!
Q: Saw couple of photos of Doctor Doom from Guangzhou and he looks amazing! Is his cloak going to be green? Any change to see proper photos on the blog soon? And finally, who is going to be next after Doctor Doom?!
A: As mentioned earlier a load of DOOM soon, all info will be revealed! Soon as Doom is up and about we will reveal the next Character in my Marvel universe!
Q: Can you divulge what the extra space garb is in the 2014 3AA pack for renewing members, and what the difference is for the 6 year vets?
A: It's Lass’s panties, kinda obvious man, c'mon 1:1 size , common knowledge! Comes in a loverly gift box too! I hope to see some photos online. Legion, rock that shit! This info was all there!
Q: What’s your favorite movie ever? And is there a movie, which you would love to make figures from?
A: Ever is a long time, I’m not ready to commit to that marriage! Figures from a film, I would like to make the Frank character, the Fassbender film thingy etc.
Q: I appreciate that you are keeping Mighty Squares sales as long, as possible. In the process of collecting funds for several colorways and wanted to ask you: could you please do a heads-up 24 hours prior to closing the sale?
A: Hope leaving it up helped some of you guys , have to take down soon though! I will make a blog post to announce its closing!
Ashley Wood about 3AA 2014 membership package:
"So 3AA'ers I thought I would share some images of your set, yup it took a fuck long time, but it's thing of beauty, Brent Ashe package design, my fucking character design and art, Siu making sure this got made as best as we could (and boy we went beyond the initial design)! Something like this is really complicated to arrange from manufacturing to tweaking the designs, as you can see this ain't some bumfuck one color vinyl, there is much going on here! No QC issues, no real issue except time! So don't let those lil emo boys ruin ya day with drivel!
But you know, that ain't your problem, it's ours, but we have made what we believe is the best 3AA set so far, and that's what really matters, we really are sorry for the wait, if it's all too much, think of it as a super early 2015 set.. why not, fuck the rules right!
Lasstranaut is really a special character in my world, she represents much and one day I'll explain, but for now you can write your own story for her, in a way she represents everything!
MMM I still remember the first image I made for Lassy, never thought I would have her totem!
A bit of info for you paranoid types, the hose for Lass's suit is in the box, the part of foam with nothing in it is for the membership card, so don't worry it's all there!!!"
Adventure Kartel Driven Snow info on the blog:
"DRIVEN SNOW will be in Bamba sometime this month, we shall give a heads up right here when she is!"

October 24th – TKLUB Irimi TQ pre-order at bambalandstore.com
Here are last weekend 3ALegion pics which were featured at our WorldOf3A Instagram (please keep in mind that photos on Instagram are optimized in size for phone screens and don't come in high quality) by n_k_z_ ; rophabet ; tach_ograph
Look back at Sunday Q&A with Ashley Wood:
Session #41 19.10.2014
Q: I love Custard and Emma, thank you for making them! Is Laika going to be a retailer sale or Bambaland? Is it going to be polystone or vinyl? I personally prefer vinyl or plastic.
A: Resin or some similar material as we don’t sell enough to cover costs, the mold costs just make it not an option when it comes to some stuff, shit, but reality!
Q: Do Tomorrow Kings have childhood of some sort or are they ‘harvested’ after maturity?
A: They train from childhood, when they hit certain skill levels they go into active service.
Q: Was Astro N.O.M. one of the N.O.M. members that attacked Rothchild’s Moon Base?
A: No N.O.M. attacked Rothchild directly, during the moon exodus a N.O.M. operative helped by convincing a defense bot to bomb Rothchild's Moonbase etc.
Q: What does Barguest want? Whats his end game? Total domination? The supreme under his boot? We know he has the gravedigger faction of bots but does he also have his own plumes? Like a army of fallen plumes? Is Barguest allied with Kuan or is Kuan doin his own thing? If Jung de Plume is Kuans disciple why is he not fallen with the cloth face mask? Will We see a fallen version of Jung?
A: That's not to reveal here…
Q: Is Handsome Wu shipping soon? I'm positively ecstatic for his release, as I and a friend split the pack! One question though, does he have pants under his suit, or just the suit?
A: Ha, they have stuff on, no free bagging pandas!
Q: This is classic question and recurring question and maybe boring one, but I (and we) feel never enough about squares, and you said WWRp Square MK1 hasn't retired yet, so.. are the super pack of WWRp Squares MK1 are still in the project? 20 or 30 pack of WWRp Squares MK1 would be cool!
A: It would!
Q: So, Girl Neptune is one of "The Seven". Who else is in this group (Sham, Lass, Misty Slush?), and what is their primary motive? You mention they "can do just about anything", care to elaborate? Thanks!
A: I will one day, these stories and concepts are my life's works and will be told over time. MS and MRS are in there to, they all represent a circle around Lasstranaut who sits at the middle!
Q: About the Elite Hatchery Guard, as I’ve only ever heard him referred to as the before-mentioned, or simply "Hatcher", I was wondering if he has a proper name?
A: Aiki
Q: What's the story behind HARD 30 CORP in WWR universe? Do they have another bots (not only Mighty Square)? Because I love to build colorway squad, and their color and insignia is very cool.
A: HARD30 are an engineering corp, so far there has been Mighty and a regular Square, but keep a look out for some upcoming stuff very soon! I am very fond of the name and design too!
Q: When are we going to see more WWR EVOL 4SQUARES colorways?
A: When we can sample them, hopefully soon!
Q: Regarding Wanka Square and golden ticket, I missed one, but was thinking about buying one on the secondary market. Will the rights to buy 3AGO Square will be transferred as well? And can you please share more about 3AGO Squares, are they only for Golden ticket holders or that’s for specific colorway?
A: At this time only customers who got it directly from us will be offered, as it's the only way to be sure of the purchase, as we are not asking for the ticket to be returned etc.
Q: Are you planning to introduce Pascha figures in 3AGO scale?
A: Nope, Pascha is 1/6th all the way, she demands that size! Or bigger!
Q: I have a question regarding the Popbot Ninja TQs, what did you mean saying on last Sundays Q & A "Being pre-made for our new world of 3A?" What is "New World of 3A", is it an upcoming toy show/festival or revamp of the World of 3A site? Thanks!
A: Well 2015 will see a new way of selling at 3A, we want to take the wait out of toys, at least for half the releases that are not beholden to the traditional pre-order system, some lines like licensed ones really have to stay in that realm. January will see the new system start to be rolled out!
Q: Any chance for Silver or Gold E.D.O after Bronze one?
A: I would love to do a dirty chrome version, DEATH STAR EDOI!
Q: So are we going to get to see AK MegaZomb in time from Halloween? Any hints for Halloween drops this year?
A: Bummer, but no, I’m waiting just like you, somewhere the Mega Zomb waits in sampling! Halloween is a strange and mysterious time , who knows what will appear… But if all goes well we are sure excited to introduce a new branch of 3A...
Q: We didn’t have a lot of TKLUB releases this year (about to have a couple now though), but I wanted to know where this line is going and what are your plans regarding TKLUB for the next year?
A: Well I want to wrap up this TKLUB asap, before end of year, so you guys can get those TQ’s. Then rethink it all, I think the KLUB part is great and a fun way to say thanks, but it becomes complicated when not managing it correctly! Due to a relatively large setup (as in output) and the main output managed and designed by basically two people (Hi Siu) it can get a little complicated and we are in the process of streamlining and making it all work in a better way, this takes time and there is no simple overnight fix, but as hinted at 2015 will see us putting our new systems in place so you guys have a fun experience with 3A! I know that many think we have huge teams doing everything, and why the fuck doesn’t it just run smoother etc, but simply we are few doing much and really reburning our candles at both ends to deliver the best we can!
Q: With the release of Little Shadow coming up soon, is there a chance for a new Zombot ? I was not part of 3A when the first few were released and I would love a chance at it.
A: Well I will tell ya now, SUNDAY MORNING ORGY OF ADVENTURE, has a Zombot.. I still love the 4pack set from the Beijing show...
Q: I'm excited to learn more about Merde and his particular story arc. Any plans for the Downside, Golden Zombot or Lemon Guard in 2015?
A: Ol Lemon, really should have his day stands in my studio guarding away.. Golden exists already too.. Don’t forget the Golden Dopiness Combat Trainer, KING COCKLER….
Q: Who would win in a fight a Mumb or a Zomb? How dangerous are the Mumbs? is there a Mega Mumb?
A: Mumbs are strong and fast, they mince the Zomb.
Q: I wanted to know more about clear body Micromen shown at latest conventions? Are they Series two or you improved the first one?
A: They are from our ongoing retail String Diver series, the ones shown are from our retail selection for territory outside Japan etc, where our first release was restricted too. Will have much info soon!
Q: Who or what did the hand of fate belong to originally?
A: Mmmm, good question, my notes say it belonged to Merde Mission's nemesis THE GALLOW! So I guess, it belonged to THE GALLOW! The sketch is cool too, must get around to making him!
Q: I was curious about The Destiny license ? You will probably make every class: Titan, Warlock and Hunter. But will you do both sex ? Female and male of every Class ? What about Race ? Human, Exo and Awoken? I am just curious If I could buy the character I am playing.
A: We will make as many as we can, but really, the longevity of the line relies on the support, we have them all in active development, but need your support to make them all happen!
Q: The 6th TK drop caused a stir (not in a good way), and the manner of the sale is raising some questions. When you described the changes that 3A is making, regarding sales, you mentioned that things could be getting more "dangerous". Is this last drop an example of how further sales will take place for 3A?
A: It wasn’t that different from LTD we have done over the years, in fact there were quite a few, a lot of the restriction came from some customers buying 10 of each etc, which we recycled on return to the office after sale. Never want to make you guys upset, but we could only get a certain amount pre-made in time, originally there were only going to be the show versions but we thought Bamba should get a chance too.
Q: What will be the next 3A Parade release? Any guesstimate on a sale date?
A: SEAFIGHT, and soon as we can, Parade release one is shipping very soon, I think you guys that supported the line will be very happy!
Q: Can you give us any indication of what might be in the 3AA 2015 pack?
A: Made quick and delivered in a timely manner.
Q: Hey Ash! Missed you at NYCC this year, but fully understand how you can't be at Taiwan and NY at once. Any chance you will be in town for the convention next year or it’s April 2015 for the Levine show?
A: Well we are rethinking our shows, looking at ways to make the experience better and different!
Q: Just got Adventure Kartel in my hands and it’s awesome, thank you so much for doing that! What is next? Are we going to see WWR book shipped soon?
A: Thanks, I believe the WWR book is December. Felt good to see the AK book, have quite a few books lined up!
Q: Can we get an update on how the more recent events in the WWR universe have effected some of the classic forces (Bromwich, Deimos, Gravedigger, etc)?
A: As the toys released these stories will be revealed, part of the story telling of WWR.
Q: Are you finished working on Kowloon Ghost Leg? Can’t wait for it and when we might see another leg like that?
A: Soon as we ship them, which is this month I’m told ( I kinda dropped the ball on the prints in the boxes, so don’t blame 3A, blame Ash) ! We have the clear and TAT legs good to go. All part of the ASH WOOD Collection … Will be dropping onto on our first 1:1 SQUARE SALE soon, bought and shipped from Bamba, pre-made and good to go!

Look back at latest Q&A session with Ashley Wood:
Q: With the recent World War Robot Mighty Square sale, I was wondering what the Mighty Squares actually do on the battlefield and what advantage they have over the smaller Squares?
A: They are like hubs, mobile logistic centers. They can also be fitted to haul heavy shit, etc.
Q: Any chance to see entirely new Adventure Kartel Fighting JC at Bambaland this or next year? I love this guy!
A: I think next year will herald BFTG JC.
Q: You mentioned there was a possibility of a 6th Anniversary Tomorrow King 3-pack to be made available as general sales, any update on that? And what are the chances for offering these classic TKs bundled with some new bot heads (killer for new collectors and veterans who have OG ones)?
A: With our packed schedule it doesn’t seem possible at this time, we have new TK’s to focus on anyway, great to see the classic again, but our eyes are firmly on the future!
Q: I'm a huge VALVe fan and own all of threeA Portal related stuff. What are the chances of seeing the Half-Life figs that was mentioned earlier in the year?
A: We are working away on Half Life 2 in 1/6th and we will be having a range on the 8” 3AGO line. More info when closer to release!
Q: Seems that a lot of Tomorrow Kings are searching the Underverse lately, why is that?
A: Because it's where everything started and will end. Plus they, like all of us, are looking for their home.
Q: I'm curious about the Irimi Mortis Hoaxer, why does she have a gas mask? Is it Irimi disguised as a Mortis or the other way around?
A: Not a mask, that's the face.
Q: Anything you can share about upcoming 1:1 Squares sale you briefly mentioned? Like a price and how shipping options would be handled?
A: Price includes shipping, which is actually the largest part of the price. Price and other info when it's time, these are my brillo boxes, this is what 3A gives me the ability to create - large items without the hindrance of market forces. These Squares represent a path I have been going towards since I started 3A. So I guess I can clear up some stuff. The Squares will in fact be on Bambaland now, as well it's my store and everyone knows it and won't have any issues that using my other store might incur! As said the price is including shipping. There are 20 variants made, 15 will be sold on Bamba, instead of artist editions I'm just keeping some them, and not diluting the market with AP editions. There are also 5 DIY versions to be painted by yours truly, but not sold with these editions, but for later gallery or show events. We will have the final price this coming week, once the shippers finalize the costings.
Q: Huge Microman fan here and you have my envy! Please do share, how does it feel to design your own? And what Microman awesomeness is coming our way?
A: Feels Great, a dream come true! If all goes well we will have some new designs very soon!
Q: Any info you can share about the AKLUB Ms. Shadow figure? Will we see any photos before she ships or you want to surprise us?
A: Soon!!
Q: Any chance of doing one of those Tomorrow Kings masks again from Re-Venture? Would love one of those! TKLUB thingy or some sort of anniversary?
A: They were creepy and great, maybe a new one one day if we do a 3A show!!
Q: The addition of the Ronin solidified that a certain amount of Tomorrow Kings are able to turn away from the primary mission. Are there any outright nasty, bad-apple, criminal TKs wandering around (Lopers aside)?
A: Lopers are not bad, infact they are probably the best chance the TK have! There are many TK’s that fall away from their teachings, some just wander, some make a difference, some change the universe.!
Q: Can we please get Future Mort for 3AA 2015?
A: He is on the list!
Q: Why has it come to “the last TK” what happened to the DNA samples?
A: Well it's because…………….
Q: Excited to see what plans you have for the Halloween release! Would love to see your take on a monster line!?!
A: Well Halloween is special this year as we get to introduce our new designer Crystal! Watch the blog!
Q: You mentioned that Dead Astronaut Gangsta is going to be employing the help of Golden Dolphin to hunt Tommy but what does Peppermint Grove think of her brothers actions. Is she going to be a “villain" also or is she siding with Tommy and the gang?
A: She wants her brother's robot hand and quite willing to kill him to get it. Peppermint doesn’t really think much of the Dolphin, her plans and thoughts are on bigger things.
Q: Do you have any plans for a 2015 calendar? I really need one!
A: I do, but do you guys really want one?
Q: Will we see more hand options included with figures down the line. Fists, better gripping sword hands, eta?
A: Some have come with them already, some don’t, depends on the toy and my thinking on it.
Q: With Daywatch & Nightwatch bots being confirmed as NOM ever since "the parade",... are there any other “NOM bot factions" out there under their regular sway? Emanation & Calignosity stork eyes look to be the start of something newly revealed, so I’m curious if the 1/6 world will see NOM's bots broaden out.
A: I'm sure they will….
Q: I don't know that much (really anything at all) about Adventure Kartel, but seeing the inclusion of JC, one would think that there is somewhat of a Judeo-Christian presence in the AK universe. Are there other biblical entities present in that world (angels, demons, Saints (besides the obvious Saint of Vengeance), Lucifer, etc.?
A: AK has everything going, it's my sandbox, you name the combo, it can happen!
Q: You mentioned threeA show in Hong Kong this December, very excited about it and hoping that I can make it there. Are there any dates? Is it going to be up for few days / weeks?
A: Well we have a booth at Toy show in December in Hong Kong, all info dates on the blog soon!
Q: There was talks about a Transformers line a while ago. Is there anything you can share about it?
A: On sale very very soon! Really, watch the blog!
Q: I have always been a fan of 1/6 and 1/4 scale articulated figures and I see them as a form of art, which is why I also want to make them as well. However I do not know how to begin and would like to ask for your advice so that I may start my path to make them for fun and have a career doing what you love to do like you. What do I have to do or learn to make 1/6 articulated figures like you and other well known 1/6 scale artists? What skills or experiences do I need to acquire? Thank you very much for your time, I hope you can help me and I look forward for your response.
A: Just do it, get a 1/6th body and go for it ( make the heads hand and feet, hand sculpt, use 3D software and cheap 3D printers to produce etc ), but the best skill, don’t follow or do what is being done, the world needs your vision and originality, not more Hot Toys, or Ash Wood 3A looking stuff, the best path is your path, and it will be the most successful. A hint, sure you can take and build on successful stuff out there, but at best it's a remix, you're not the originator nor really an artist, just an engineer of minor change and smoke, be an artist, be original and not look to be popular, but a way to serve a new vision!
Q: it’s revealed that three original Tomorrow Kings (Hideo, Yoji, and Kenshiro) have brothers (the 7th TK), but how about Tomorrow Queens threeway (Yubi, Odayaka, Yumiko), do they have any sisters? Yubi is my favorite TQ so far..
A: The TKLUB FREE TQ’s are pretty much that, the same lineage!
Q. Before I renew my 3AA I would like to know, will the majority of figures released during 2015 be available for 3AA Members for a 24 hr period as they have been in previous years? Several times now you have mentioned changes in 2015 to improve things, and also more pre-made figures to avoid waiting. Based on previous pre-made releases this seems to mean limited numbers and a frenzy on Bamba to grab toys. Will 3AA members get any guarantees with this new approach? I certainly would be very concerned about renewing if not. I am sure I am not alone in being unable to regularly monitor a website and wait for random drops over a 24hr period. I certainly cannot be awake regularly at 9.00am Hong Kong time either. Please can you reassure that 3A toys won’t get harder to buy for 3AA members?
A: I get that, but the problem with guarantee per figure is we cannot make stuff ahead of time, which is a path for 3A, sure many toys require pre-order, expensive or toys that cannot fall easily into pre-made territory, etc (but with guaranteed delivery dates and short production windows). But I think the ability to buy and get a toy the same week is a good trade off, sure there is chance you can’t get them all. From all accounts as we talk to the members at shows and online, is that the discount is paramount, the biggest complaint is the wait, the delays, so we have taken note. We have a good idea on the amounts needed for toys, we can gauge what's needed, but someone will always miss out I’m sure, not fun, but we want to change the way things are done and that will be met with opposition. I hope the reason you collect our toys is because you love them, not because it's easy to collect or simple, I concur that doesn’t make up for the fact that you might not get something you really want either. So in short 2015 3AA will be similar, but there will be pre-made ready to ship toys that have no guarantee attached for anyone. Maybe this time next year I won’t be writing these responses as 3A is a ghost due to my ideas of selling toys, but you know, at least I didn’t just keep my head down with my eye on your wallet stick with the status quo, enjoy 6-12 month pre-order windows to milk the toy market down the last dollar, etc and take no risks, bring a different (actually the old way of selling toys) way of doing things to market. We love every 3AA member, and never would we want shade brought to your world, but we have to try and do things differently, it's in my blood, and I think many of you will get that.
Q: With all the bots you make, did threeA ever thought about diecast? Berties for example would be jaw dropping…
A: It would be great, fully agree!
Q: Is there still a possibility of getting a threeA Covenant Elite as part of the Halo line, or are only Spartans like the Master Chief being developed at this time?
A: We have the Elite, actually one of the first figures we started, we want to release it too!
Q: Are there any Fallen or Hive figures in development for the Destiny line? I’d really love to see a Fallen Captain or Hive Wizard figure.
A: When we get these licenses we do with the intention of making all the cool characters , the only thing stopping the line covering all the bases is the success of it. I know our Destiny figures will be unmatched, like our Halo toys are the best going, we take great pride in these and really hope to deliver the characters we all want to see!
Q: When are we gonna see a photo or teaser of the World War Robot 1/6 Birdcage? Really want a look so I can see what I am saving for. There are a few WWR things coming up for preorder in December, but cant get them all unfortunately. So need to plan a little.
A: When it's ready to show, over the years I have found it detrimental to show before finished, opinions are forged without all parts in place! Birdy is moving along great and we will reveal ASAP! I do appreciate your needing to plan as well!
Q: What was the most fun and challenging part in making your own Doctor Doom?
A: Actually not a challenge, it's just fun, I grew up with this stuff, spent life thinking about Marvel comics, kinda just flows out. Such a privilege!
Q: Any chance you make use of the clear body (like used on Paschaborg) in the world of AK with a ghost character maybe? With GID eyes?
A: I think of the design of Paschaborg and it made sense and worked, has a machine like feel etc. To get a cool ghost effect would take some re-thinking, who doesn’t love a ghost right !!!
