Popbot discussion

It's shown in one of the advert pics, which makes me think yes...but I don't see it listed in the contents description.  Hmmmmmm. Maybe a cool 3AA extra?

Yes, the set includes the deluxe Underverse Inhaler as Ash calls it

From Ash's IM. It's made for Architect but can be swapped if you like.

Ash also stated on his Instagram he would toss in 2 helmets wich is pretty bad ass.

Rad!

This set is pretty rad! Man all this Popbot hype is getting me stoked on the next chapter!

There's a chain leading presumably to the strollbot. Looks to be about knee height from the chain angle.

Mmmm. Very tempted.

I want just the inhaler don't really want devil Bo or another Ash figure =/

i'm up for the bo if you want to split.....

Stroll Bot proto.


For those who missed it (originally from Ashley's Instagram):

So..... 3A have a Star Wars licence again?

Because otherwise....

Well spotted Gar.! Forgot about that post.! I've been keen to see what this little guy looks like... but, he may change yet.!?

I'm a sucker for the shadow WWR figures. Have been since the first Daywatch/Nightwatch Commanders set. I can totally re-purpose Post-Fire for this one.
Ash has a pic up on his instagram of The Architect holding a chain leading to ...... (stroll bot)... but the pic is cut off. So it should be a pretty slick set.

:[BST'ing from here one....]:
I'd love to split the set with someone - I'm just looking for the Ash figure + stormie helmet... and I'll probably want the Stroll bot too. If anyone is looking to split and just wanting BO then I'm down.

Ash said on Insta, red stormie helmets for both! I think it would look better with black helmet for Architect and red for BO.!? Just my opinion...

Bo's "inhaler" makes me think of :

"Lonestar, your swartz is as big as mine! "

The little stroll bot looks maybe to close to WWR in my opinion. Not sure if it feels quite right for Popbot world but it is cute little guy. Maybe paint and finishing will sway my opinion. Reminds me of Birdie WWR without arms. So if its Stroll bot is it like there little dog and taking it for a walk or does if find item 49 like how dogs find animals in the bush? Wonder what the job is for Stroll bot in the world? Maybe he is a little land mind finder. Poor little thing gets blown to peaces to protect Bo and Architect. Or is it a Mortis hostage Bo and Architect are using as bargaining chips. Cant wait for Popbot 9 book to release.

I am going to get this

Yeah boltman,... maybe Stroll is a little Mortis detector.
Otherwise harmless, but needing to be kept on a chain and always pulling in the direction of the Mortis along with other signs when the Mortis are close by.
Some more PB 9 story would be key for this set.

Not sure if i'll get this. I like her red hair/horns and shoes but her outfit seems less inspired. Halter-top, skirt and a cape, it's pretty minimal (not that's a bad thing) but I would like some detail or filigree on her. Depends on the price. if the AA discount works out we'll see.

Architect Stormie inspired by this past SW Pulp Fiction image perhaps?

I'd like this set more if he had some dress shoes instead of boots...
Curious to what the final Stroll Bot will look like as well.
Bring on Popbot 9!

I agree, some dress shoes like in the original sketch on page 3 would look good....

Wow, $360 is pretty steep!! Architect and Bo the rabbit tamer set was only $260! So it's an extra $100 for the 49 device and the stroll bot!?? Might turn a lot of people off...?

Ash also said on his Instagram page that he was going to toss in two storm Trooper Helmets for the set. I would Hope that the set has the extended neck joints for the helmets so are to be attached correctly like on applied on the lonely trooper. Also hope tosses in some blaster guns is Star Wars mix is added in. Wish came with a book describing what they are as characters in popbot world and there mission, I think black red grenades would be a simple and cheap add on for the set, We still haven't seen stroll bot and wondering what color it will be in and size. It is pricey but if they toss in extras to fill the price point might help sales. Mainly the add ons would be repainted existing parts as mentioned. Can't wait to see more photos.

Well at that price I know I will pass. Can spend it on other things.
