November

As a my new tradition, I want to thank you all again for all the positive and negative feedback I'm getting, this helps me make my news even better and be a better help for all of you. As you probably know, this news are getting updated daily, sometimes even hourly, when Ash is active on the board and gives away all the new info or production pictures. Last time I wrote, that September was a new milestone for me, and now October was even better! News thread was read more than 21000 times, not a huge number and most probably because of a lot of news that month, but I'm happy that I am useful for the needs of all 3A community and people who are interested in 3A. As 3A community is constantly growing, like the 3A itself and more people are need to to understand things or have some questions, don't hesitate to PM me and I will always try to help you, on any 3A related question. If I can't answer on your question, I will at least point you to the direction, where you can find the answer.

If you are new on the boards, please do check out this section.

Now let's get down to what will happen this month.

What is currently available at Bambalandstore? Awesome 7 pack of Berties in WWRp (1/12th scale) is still available there, for 220$ shipped. If you don't have any 3A releases yet, then don't miss your chance to grab this!

It's finally November, the month of very possible Men from N.O.M release, which we awaited all that time and first ever 3A toy&art show - HK Venture, where under one roof, would be presented such artists like Ashley Wood, Threezero, Jeremy Geddes, Kenny Wong, Colan Ho and Mak Siu Fung!

In this section is a lot of the the necessary information regarding the show and which boardies are going there (if you decided to join late) and here is the booklet , with opening time and location of the show. Please do check this section of the 3A site, devoted to the HK Venture. What about exclusive from 3A, you might ask? Click for the exclusives list here.

How the Men from N.O.M looks like you might ask? FYI third photo is the HK Venture exclusive - Shadow N.O.M

November - 2009 Nom1q.thNovember - 2009 Nom1.thNovember - 2009 Hknom.th

What will ship to the lucky owners this month? WWR Armstrong and probably Heavy Tomorrow Kings (I need to get an update about that).

Different retailers, will get WWRp MK2 Berties, including such special exclusive color ways like, EMGY ,Red, Panda, Dragon etc. so be excited and keep an eye out!

Sideshow will get in retail variant of the Armstrong, called Suicide Club. We haven't seen it yet in a full beauty ( just a partial picture seen here) and we don't know much about the price or quantity of them. As Ashley says, it's Sideshow's bot now and it's up to them, when to disclose that information.

It's really so much happening around 3A now, I can't even describe all that, so please check archives of the previous month here and go through it, this will help you to see the full picture.

Sorry if all this was boring to you, but I'm trying to make things better understandable for all the new people, who just find out about 3A or don't have time to check the board daily.

And no matter whether you will be going to the Hong-Kong Venture or not, I'm sure we will see all the coverage, provided by boardies who are going and promised to do that and by 3A itself.

Have fun during this month!

Repeat of the 31.10 news for all the lazy people or who missed them)

31.10

3A will start showing Spawn toys soon:
"will start showing stuff soon.."

Some advice about cash, while in Hong-Kong:
"use atm machines to get cash, most work just like in your home town. i have don it there many times
3A only takes cash yo !"


WWR Armstrong will ship out to it's owners in November! I must say that I felt in love equally, with WWRp line, but I can't wait for my big bots to come home.
"not overdue.
they ship in november."


Ashley about means of payment at HK Venture:
"usd is good, all cash is good, we will have 3A master accountants on site for all financial matters"

Ashley speaks about art selling at the HK Venture and buying art in general. For your information, each exclusive will come for sale at a different date. No info when or what yet.
"yay
but seriously its all good, all worth it, and as any collector knows to get so much coolness together for onetime is RARE !
fastest wallet wins"
"bummer just noticed I forget to send a skateboard up... shit"
" mmm well, the best doesnt always cost the most, hesitation in art collecting is the problem !"
"ill bring it up, sell it in the alley behind the show.."
"i agree"
"and saturday and sunday, remember each exclusive is released over different days"
" me too. very close at least !"


Ashley about retail only variant of the Heavy Tomorrow King - Soh:
"yup Heavy TK Soh is retailer only
red shirt, white stripes different shirt decal."


Don't know about you guys, but I'm absolutely calm, when 3A needs more time to work on certain toys, before shipping them out. It means that they want to raise quality on a new level and what's wrong in waiting a bit long and getting absolutely awesome handmade paint jobs? Plus we all know, that a lot of 3A resources is devoted to making it's first ever show to happen. 3A is not a huge company like Mattel or any other unpersonalized toy giant, it's a small company with soul and we love it for that! Here Ashley comments about WWR Armstrong shipping in November.:
"we will not rush, or be rushed.."
"bottom line
got a question about your order, email info@threeaonline.com thats the best way.
back to armstrong !"


Ashley talks about Suicide Club Armstrong, who would be sold only by one retailer - Sideshow Collectibles, quantities and price are still unknown:
"i would say same price, BUT I cant tell sideshow what to do..
it would be silly if they charged more ?"
"but his head is red....
well dirty old red...
but red !!"
"im not gonna say, its up to sideshow, its their Armstrong.
Im sure it will be revealed soon !"


01-02.11

Since everybody are extremely busy with the final HK Venture preparations, news are very slow today.

Our boardies were interested whether the would be any skulls decals on Shadow Armstrong (since many are very much in love with skulls decals of Night Watch Bramble & Large Martin) and Ashley said that there would be no skulls decals on Shadow Armstrong.
"no skulls"

Another photo of the Sea Monkey by Kenny Wong. Absolutely can't wait to see the female pilot Snow Pea, designed by Ashley Wood.

November - 2009 Seamonkey.th

As usually in the beginning of every month, two fun threads are started.
November sketch thread , with a very interesting theme this month (kudos to Eric) and November photo thread. Please participate and show us what you got!

03.11

Ashley is happy for the excitement of our boardies, who are going to the HK venture and comments about means of payment at the show:
"thats the spirit lads !"
"well ill be there on 5th, but ill be buying art gear and generally pouncing arpound, i bet we all bump into each other........"
"walk it...
stay in kowloon, much more exciting !"
"usd or HK
cash, sorry but thats it, cash them in before you rock up"


Limited amount of DIY de Plumes, would be up for buying at Bambaland, at unknown time, during HK Venture dates (6th-13th of November):
" over the period of the show we will put some up... starting the 6th"

03.11
please check out previous news for this date above

HK Venture is so near...I can feel it coming! Please check out newest Ashley Wood's blog entry here.

Lucky guys who are going to the HK Venture, might be very interested in checking this thread.

There is a new addition to our small but powerful 3A staff on the board. Please meet you new 3A board moderator - Gerard, who is known here as gar. He is here for a very long period of time and all this time, he was very helpful and active board member. He even received a special nickname from Ashley, who calls him a forum vulcan. gar is fast with answers, always supplying an enormous amount of Ashley's quotes and very wise predictions about things to come. Please don't plan to play jokes with him, as Dutch Mercs are short with words and shoot directly to the head!

You must be really curious by now, how the HK Venture might look like? Here is a couple of WIP photos for you:

November - 2009 91202997641903568064653.thNovember - 2009 15953305787795356806465.thNovember - 2009 Armstrongx.thNovember - 2009 88322987900403568064653.thNovember - 2009 88322987904753568064653.thNovember - 2009 15953310507130356806465.thNovember - 2009 68262885474353568064653.thNovember - 2009 Hkventure.th

Ashley comments about HK Venture and how he wishes that more people, would be able to visit it:
"let me this, and I mean this very sincerely ..
I really wish all you guys could come to this showing, any artistic outing is diary without a great audience, all of you guys make 3A more fun and worthwhile to both Kim and me.
Even if we all cannot be there, this is for all of us.. !


Ashley talks about 3A future in 2010 makes me drool!:
"next year will make this year look silly, 2010 >>> WWR, Adventure Kartel, Popbot, Lore, MGS, SPawn and .... ill tell in December !
it very cool.. !"


What 3A toys are made of?
"all our toys are ninyl and ABS
PVC is for lesser men ! but looks good on da girls !"


04.11

Our boardie Expathos, was one of the first who won DIY de Plume and customized him. Here are his awesome results! A limited amount of DIY de Plumes would be available at Bambalandstore, at a random time, during HK Venture. Starting from 6th of November.

November - 2009 3970372915ed824f23bab.thNovember - 2009 3970364889ea9ebd58a7b.thNovember - 2009 3968458252997e246153b.th

That's WWR Armstrong White Engineer, which was sold out even without ANY photos shown (can you actually imagine that?). Very rare, only forty were made and offered very honestly, at the same time, 20 were offered for 3AA and 20 for general audience.

previous news for this date above

HK Venture exclusives: Severed heads and WWRp Bertie the hatchery guard

November - 2009 3aberts.thNovember - 2009 Headspb.th

HK Venture information banner + what seems like blurry photos of the Tomorrow Queens heads?

November - 2009 Hkv6.th

Ashley mentions Lore characters, which would be definitely made in 2010. Find out more about Lore here :
"dude, the Crown is a must !"

05.11

I saw that HK Venture exclusives Bertie and Severed heads, are marked: HKS14 and HKS15, and thought that it could mean - Hong-Kong Show, exclusives number - 14th or 15th. And asked Ash about, why so many and what could be the others exclusives? As he answered, HK Venture posters are marked too, so first eight numbers, from HKS1 to HKS8 is taken by posters.
"every article has a code the posters of which there are 8, and so on"

If you are in Hong-Kong and want to meet our boardies, please check this thread and then PM me your contacts. Currently I have locations of Lincoln and ennui.

I hope that you still remember about DIY de Plume, which go on sale at random time at the Bambalandstore, during HK Venture?

I made account on facebook, not sure, what do with it..since I already have twitter for announcements..but I'm sure, that I will think of something, currently trying to understand how the Facebook works and how to use it properly. If you are interested, my Facebook name is: Gimbat, Gimby.

Ashley and Jeremy Geddes are currently on the way to Hong-Kong.

Here is an interesting info from Jeremy Geddes, where he talks about his and Ash's set of prints:
Off to Hong Kong, hopefully see some of you there!

The exhibition prints have shaped up well. I can't give to many details at this point, but we'll be selling 2 prints (one ash's, one mine) as a pair, in an edition of just 25. My image will be available down the track in larger numbered edition at a different size, but this will be your only chance to pick up the two matching pics together


Latest update from Ashley's blog:
The HK contingent of artists are primed and ready and our Aussie duo are high up in the air and on their way. Friday night's opening is set to go off and we hope to see you all there. Thanks to all of you traveling from overseas to see the show and to all of you who have sent cards and well wishes for opening night.
We will be blogging the whole event and this one will hopefully be the first of many to come. Keep it here for photos, links to other media and blogs covering the event and more.

More pages from "Milk" magazine, about HK Venture show and participating artists, I hope that satisfies a bit our hunger for HK Venture photos:

Since this question is being constantly brought up, I will remind you the deal and will answer about it. There was a mistake with WWRp Euro Bramble and DIY Bramble. DIY Bramble is delivered without his pistols, but with gatling gun and gatling gun engine, instead of Euro engine. Euro Bramble is missing two pouches. 3A would replace the missing parts for all 3AA DIY Bramble and Euro Bramble pouches. 3A will make it up to everyone and send the missing part as soon as the production of replacement parts would take place and it's going to take a bit of time since the production line currently is very busy.
3A would send the replacement pack to all buyer as soon as they are ready. Don't you worry about a thing, 3A always takes care of it's customers!

So let's summarize who missing what

3AA pack: DIY Bramble is missing his two pistols and special Euro backpack engine, but comes with gatling gun and regular engine

Any pack which has Euro Bramble inside and 6 pack is missing:
two pouches for the Euro Bramble

November - 2009 Missingl.th


More Brambles 6pack are starting to hit USA.

It's only twelve more hours, before HK Venture opening party starts!
I'm so excited and sad, that I'm not there in the same time. But let's think about all the photos we will see soon and cheer up! Don't forget about DIY de Plume, who maybe spotted very soon at www.bambalandstore.com

Since people are very interested in Milk magazine, which covers HK Venture, I don't know which issue it is and haven't seen the cover..just those pages. But I will try to find out and notify you about it here. All I could find for now: Milk Mag #433 BookA and Milk Mag #433 BookB. Don't know if it's legit, will look further.

HK Venture opening party will start in three hours! Here are some photos, of what people are about to see there. Including Ashley's and Jeremy's art, featuring my favorite painting ever, MGS, partial shots of TQ and Men from NOM:

November - 2009 40802589733928948d0ab.th

This is information is not confirmed yet. Remember how was the plan, to sold each day a new exclusive? So many people showed up for the HK Venture and Ashley decided to skip on that plan and sell everything during the opening night. Currently most of the exclusives or even all are sold out. I will let you know, once I will have the confirmed information from 3A.

07.11

Please check lots of photos and coverage from the previous day above

Exclusive print? As mentioned by Jeremy Geddes earlier in his blog:

The exhibition prints have shaped up well. I can't give to many details at this point, but we'll be selling 2 prints (one ash's, one mine) as a pair, in an edition of just 25. My image will be available down the track in larger numbered edition at a different size, but this will be your only chance to pick up the two matching pics together


November - 2009 14645313277090356806465.th

Ashley says thanks to everyone who came to the openning:
Thanks to everyone that came to the opening of the 3A Hong Kong Venture show last night and also to those of you who followed along on the web. The gallery was packed to capacity and the atmosphere was just amazing. We would like to thank all of the artists, sculptors and models who participated last night too.

The event was bigger and bolder than any of us could have hoped for, the media presence alone was impressive, look out for upcoming coverage of the event in both the local and international press. The event was also recorded for posterity, stay tuned for future web locations where this can be viewed.

We were also really proud to be able to present the Hong Kong chapter of the Make a Wish foundation with a cheque for $10,000USD. We have really enjoyed putting fund raising projects together and will continue to do more of this in the future. Especial thanks to all of you who bid on our charity dutch auctions, 100% of the monies raised went to this wonderful charity that helps so many sick kids realize their dreams every year.

The Venture show is still open until the 13th, if you haven't come by already, drop in and have a look.

Day 3 Hong Kong
The number of new arrivees to the 3A Venture exhibition has still yet to let up and on day three we are as busy as ever, with new people walking through the door every minute. Once again we wish to thank everyone who traveled from overseas to see the exhibition and the local Hong Kong people who have since turned out in enthusiastic droves keeping the numbers of gallery goers up. The turn out overall has been fantastic and the interest overwhelming!

We're still on until the 13th, so if you're in Hong Kong with some time on your hands feel free to drop by and see what's up.

Some exciting news from Hong-Kong (and wait for the news and announcements when Ashley is coming back, you will hear much MOAR), direct quote of our moderator Sir Dirty Girty, who currently enjoys super nice and fun time there:
"Heavy TQ is coming, short katanas, pouches and face paint/tattoos according to rank. Weathered and dirty. Lasstronaut is being worked on, light PVC materials for her spacesuit and of course nothing underneath, bare naked!" For your information, it's not an official news yet, we have to wait for Ashley to confirm it. But still this sounds more than exciting and make the board go live, after seeing all the photos from the past days.

New information from Ashley's blog, considering the dates of HK Venture in 2010 and limited edition prints:
3A Venture Giclee Prints
A Limited set of artist Giclee prints were produced and offered at the 3A Venture Show. Knowing that there are people who couldn't attend the show we have reserved several sets of 3A Venture Giclee print sets, (by both Ashley Wood and Jeremy Geddes), to be offered to Bambaland customers only.

Watch this space towards the end of this week for sale times. The prints on offer are only a small percentage of an already limited run and will not be available for long so be forewarned.

Also we will be announcing the new dates for the next 3A Venture show to be held once again in Hong Kong for 2010 very soon...


Three new Tomorrow Queens photos by edmundw are here.

Our board member - breakersrevenge ,reports that Bramble retail plastic landed in UK, what a huge quantity of Brambles, huh?

November - 2009 Fbb7d0ad.th

Not sure if you remember, but a while ago, I suggested couple of things to make trip to HK Venture even more special to our boardies. Like showing more artists studios to our boardies and interested people. Here is a thread , where we discussed that. I stayed at home and the tour happened, kindly organized by Mr. Kim (threezero). And here is a photo coverage by our boardie kt123, huge thanks to him for providing the photos. I will put bellow, just a couple of pictures to give you the idea. Our boardies went to: Hot Toys, Kenny Wong studio, Eric So studio, Colan Siu and Mak Fung workplace, How2work and Toy2r. In the middle they all had some nice meal with Ashley, Kim and Jeremy.

New art book, by Ashley "Tre Tarino" is listed for 25th November, in IDW Publishing's newsletter.

edmundw, speaking about the Shadow NOMs:
Yup... Jacket can be taken off... The cargo pants is like any other de plume... Shirt is black and tight fitting... Not sure what they put inside the jacket but it feels very paper-ish... Guess it helps getting the hard edges and maintain it's shape...
As for the hose, yes it's very rubbery... Can be bent easily... You can now turn the head 90 degree to the left and right easily without worrying about the hose... Good job 3A !!!

A bit of clarification on Sparrow, from Ash's blog:
Re Al Columbia
Just to clear up any mis-undertandings, the Sparrow editon featuring Al's cool art was canceled and is not being published now, Amazon still has it for pre-order, disregard this and make sure you check out the super cool book by Fantagraphics spotlighting Pim & Francie, follow this link to check it.

Ashley is back home! New Venture will took place at 5th November 2010.
Re HK Venture
Back home !
I cannot express what a great time the 3A HK Venture was for me, and Jeremy. The support from Hong Kong and the world was overwhelming and totally took us by surprise. Already plans are in effect for next years event, 5th November through 24th 2010.
Thanks again to everybody who supported HK Venture and made it such a success !!!


Ashley about not selling DIY de Plumes:
"good to be back ~!
I re thought the DIY, they were always meant to be free figs, the idea of selling seemed lame and against my initial reason for their reason to be made. so its biz as normal !"


Ashley about remaking Bertie MK1:
"not gonna happen. not needed as Bertie is fine as it is."

We will see the finished photos of WWR Armstrong soon:
"I remember that Tiger, ill drop the shots soon enough."

About WWRp Brambles at retailers:
" retailers have had their orders shipped i believe, should be soon"

11.11

Ashley is back from Hong-Kong and hopefully storm of news will start soon.

To remind you Men from N.O.M, would be an open release at www.bambalandstore.com, anybody can buy a set, presumably it would be offered for seven days. First 75 people on the list, click here to see the list , if their order Men from N.O.M during first 24 hours of the sale, will get a SOLDIER OF N.O.M Alpha recruits card. That's their only advantage, as a thanks to this people, because they made Men from N.O.M happen.
"there is a set amount being made, as we have started production already, but it should cover a week of selling.. unless the world goes NOM crazy.. highly unlikely so need to stress.."

November - 2009 14358114411157052414595.th

Ashley about Men from N.O.M:
"they are nomx, just more crazy versions, i thought about changing it all, but then there was no connect to previous versions of Nom, that sucked..."
"nom commanders faces are in color, like a heavy TK etc, not dark and manky like the shadow commanders.."
"ohh they will be fucked up and weathered!"


Ashley about Popbot (which would be released in 2010) and Medic TQ:
"already changed the proto. he will be on point..
just finished the MEdic TQ, nurse fetish colleagues will be happy !"


12.11

Ashley answering on the statement, that new HK Venture show in 2010, would be less intimate:
"bottom line lads, I cannot produce enough work or enough time to anything but HK Venture. The time needed to create just the art makes it impossible.
re Less intimate? I dont think anything will change on our side, I cannot tell you how to feel, but we will be the same at 3A."


More about HK Venture:
"we want to do everything we did this year, next year, but better, I cant speak for other artists or companies letting us visit, but if it happened this year, I dont see why we cant do it again!
The company/artist hop was fun, the dinners, the hanging is what made it great. Im truly looking forward to next year and hopefully getting to meet more of you !
It wasnt the art or toys that made the show special, it was the people, you guys etc, touching and very inspiring time..."

Ashley about the variety of Dropcloth variants:
"LM's always have troop support... even the spooky 666th"

Ashley talking about 7bones sets of all the original TK's:
"re 7pack
well this is the deal, we were going to release a 7 pack TK set, the rogue Tk team, 7bones. We are asked all the time for the original TKs, oya's etc to be re-released and thought it would be a cool way to cover everyone with new designs and get some bot heads out too...
I really wanted to do it for Christmas, seemed a fun idea, but it would ask you guys to dig deeper and we didnt want that, so we are pushing into the new year...
7bones is coming, they have a fun story and i think you will enjoy that, even if the set isnt your bag."


WWRp Bertie Hatchery Guard (HK Venture exclusive) next to the WWRp Euro Bramble, thanks for the photo to Tigerfeet.
November - 2009 Dsc0394ar.th

Ashley speaks about Tomorrow Queens (including how they were sold at HK Venture):
"a two pack."
"there were on white boxes, you couldnt pick, at least I dont think so...I have some cool colors.."
" the TQ comes in many forms, battle weathered is one..."
"we wanna beef up the stuff they come with and look. They have cool pouches ( cough ) and bags , weapons etc.
no rush.. or is it ?"
"ok , as fast as we can...jan the latest !!
that top TQ photo at the start is cool..."
"its secret how we do what we do, we do things very differently from others, and we aint in the biz of telling..."


A bit of info about size of Bertie MK2 in WWR world:
" MK2 would be 6.5 feet or so im my world..."

13.11

Ashley comments on how articulated are Tomorrow Queens figures and about design changes:
"not anywhere near the male body, enough to strike a cool pose, its all a trade off, I like form over function, so your stuck with it !"
"design as in mechanics, the look and shape is cool. smaller boobs, bigger thighs are in the works.
over time there will be many variations
we have a stocky male body that rocks too"


Nice Tomorrow Queens photos, thanks to tigerfeet (photo on the pole) and rockysara. I just love how can you pose TQ and articulation is pretty stunning as well.

Ashley answering how he feels about copy cats:
"do better..simple as that."

Ashley talks about Popbot art, please check this thread for better understanding on the quotes and discuss astonishing world of Ashley Wood's art:
"I have much art from popbot... collecting dust here and there"
"Pobot Gospel is a series of paintings dealing with meta aspects of Popbot"

Ashley talks more about his art and HK Venture sales:
"cheers
Im working on paintings that next year will hopefully up the ante..."
"just sold two more paintings at venture.. dman !"
"best intro I have ever had !
eric is a smart man !"


14.11

Ashley about his paintings, which were for sale at HK Venture:
"the only paintings left are not forsale by jeremy and me ( needed elsewhere after the show, or owned by Kim, around 6 in total,. the rest are gone.. and a complete sell out of art at a show is rare.. I mean real sellout, not a controlled gallery sellout where the gallery buys shit at half price.
So yay for Jeremy and me..
Already have the new stash of art growing in a corner for next year."


You can buy only one 3AA set of Blanc Men from N.O.M, but regular edition - as many as you like.
" 3AA is always one per person, 3A release, as many as you like.. "

Ashley comments on WWRp pricing and thanks everybody for support:
"well we think more customers and fans is better than upfront profit. its a long term game plan that hopefully will work !
you guys support us, we are going to support you by making cool toys at a cool price.."


Ashley about offering books and original art for sale at bambaland:
"books cant work too well on bambaland, the shipping will cost more than the book.. BUT im up to stuff,stay tuned.
Im happy to sell art, not really because of the money ( my day job is fine for cash ), but to get it out there, and people seem really happy to get it.. To be honest I like it too, I will miss having it on my studio walls... such is life."


14.11
please check previous news for this date above

Ashley about Men from N.O.M
"ha I just noticed the commanders come with different masks, I wasnt sure we were doing it still...
not so eagle eye ash..."
"well I dont have a set of the shadow guys, and I was just checking the Nom set, and wow we made both. originally we were picking between the two etc... cool though..
the beard question threw me cody, after that all I heard was the teacher from the peanuts cartoon Smiley
its nice to be surprized too.."


Ashley about the bike, which was seen at the HK Venture:
"thats old..
but cool... it would be expensive too !"


Here is the photo of the bike, for better understanding:

November - 2009 705823450rdua2l.th

Ashley talks more about his art:
"I have them, swear never to sell them, then remember the golden rule, DONT FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR OWN ART, you have to move on and forward. Make better, not be all caught up in the present moment..
The only art that doesnt ever get sold is what my sons take and hang ion their rooms.. they have some cool stuff....."


Ashley about WWR Grunts, which we will see next year:
"he was made when the commanders were..
but next year is his moment !
only commanders are the 3 announced ( shadow, Nom, Blanc ), there will be no more !"


Changes for the Ava body:
"only mechanics are changing, which will not be apparent to most, not the look, I like the look, or I wouldnt show. Each fig will always have some change to take in its character etc..
Im not interested in ugly ass super articulated female figs, 99% will just pose and leave standing anyway."


Ashley comments on what happened with book - Sparrow: Al Columbia
"fantagraphics book is fine, nothing to do with IDW.."

As many were intrigued about sitting articulation of Tomorrow Queens, here is a photo by ennui to show us, that lovely looking couple:

November - 2009 Img8389sm.th

ennui comments about MGS prototype shown at HK Venture:

November - 2009 704970919qe3hkxl.th

Lok actually took the time to take the figure off its display and let us have a good look at it in better lighting. The figure displayed was only a prototype, but Lok explained that the legs will be fully articulated so that he can stand up and go into a more compact mode. It looks like there's going to be some serious articulation on this bad ass MGS bot. Simon (3AAAsiao) might have more to say since Lok was explaining this to us in Cantonese

I think, majority of us already saw some photos of the HK Venture exclusives, posted here&there on the board and in the news, but why not to post some links? HK exclusives photo threads:
Tomorrow Queens
WWRp Bertie Hatchery Guard
Shadow NOM

15.11

Ashley says that we never saw WWR Grunt art fully (as on the paintings)
the grunt has never been fully seen.. he will soon

Ashley reminds how big WWRp line is going to be:
"every WWR character that is seen in 1/6th will be seen in 1/12th plus many more.."

Remember second Adventure Kartel figure (first figure was Boiler Zomb): Tommy Mission?
"tommy is awesome, and that damn boiler zomb needs someone to fight..."

What we saw so far? His boots!

Bambaland will always sell exclusive sets, retailers will get singles:
"multi packs are only sold at bambaland, retailers get singles.."

Men from N.O.M go on sale, in less than FIVE days. OMG! We waited so long and it's only FIVE days away.

15.11
please check previous news for this date on the first page

Jeremy Geddes, speaks about awesome 3A Lines, Cosmonaut figure, different variants and colors:
"A black one of some sort, no doubt.
The cosmo design was tricky to get right, I wanted something reminiscent of cosmonaut suits (a few parts are based around 70's era cosmonaut internal station/high altitude suit design), but not that close to any existent suit design overall (so it can't easily be 'placed'), as well as feeling old, super low-tech and worn out"
"I really want at least some of the variants to really emphasis that sense of age in the suits, I've got some ideas that I think would look great, but need to check about feasibility!"
"the red was initially done for the box design, but we'll have a chunk to choose from by the time it's out, so that might change."

This all makes me even more excited about Cosmonaut figure and I've thought that it's impossible, huh..silly me!

Here is a box packaging art for the figure:

November - 2009 Cosmonautboxart.th

16.11

Since people are asking whether Men from N.O.M would be sold as singles? The answer is - NO. It's a set and it's going to be sold as a set only.

Here is Ashley talking about 3A&Kojima collaboration:
"the ray isnt ABS, its a proto, very fragile, the retail is 100% ABS, nothing else, very sturdy, seams will be very light if at all. its articulated exactly the way its meant to be, its an amazing piece of work. The paint job is a place holder, as REX has no real colorway im designing them. I know a bit about MGS.."

Here is a time zone chart , for Men from N.O.M release, made by ennui. To remind you: this must get set, goes on sale at 20th of November, 9:00 AM AEST (Melbourne time) at Bambalandstore . What you need to shop at the Bambalandstore? Paypal account and be registered at the store.

November - 2009 410579071592af0af749b.th

Ashley about Men from N.O.M photos:
"i have said many times, if we have final toys to photograph I would show, I suggest do not buy if you really need to see it pronto etc, I understand all points of view. Im not playing games with you guys, Im not interested in showing half baked stuff, simple as that.."

Huge 3A lines news:

November - 2009 2000ad1.th

Here is Ashley talking with inspiration about 2000 ad and 3A, after reading his quotes, I'm super excited!
" Zarjaz !"
"DREDD not dread. !"
"Ill try and make them all, ABC Warriors to Rogue Trooper, robo hunter, Johnny Alpha etc.. all the main Judges. I love this universe, know it backwards...This line is for me !"
" 3A is mind blowing.... bang !"
"well I dont own it, its in good hands already, and Ill also say, i always put smoke up to keep people off my tracks, im always up to something
National 2000ad, day 16th november !"
" when they see the figs, everyone will dig em, these are universal !"
" you get it Paul !"
" well if you buy them all Andy, im there ! I love da Heroes.. "


Quote from the 3A Toys/Rebellion Press Release, you can read more here.

16 November 2009

Fans of 2000 AD everywhere get set to rejoice, as 3A Toys are proud to announce their licensing agreement with Rebellion for a range of brand new 2000 AD action figures. Many characters from the pages of the galaxy?s greatest comic, from Judge Dredd to the A.B.C. Warriors and beyond are set to be made as 1/6th scale, fully-articulated works of art.

Ashley Wood, CEO 3A Toys said ?2000 AD and the worlds within its pages was inspirational in igniting the dream of becoming a comic artist for me, which lead to my first professional comic job, illustrating a Dredd Story for the Megazine. It feels very gratifying and exciting to revisit this universe now with toys.?

Jason Kingsley, COE of the Rebellion Group, home of 2000 AD said: "We're really looking forward to seeing what Ashley's company comes up with. I need more high quality action figures for my office."

Coming soon in 2010; the toy line that all 2000 AD fans have been waiting for.

16.11
please check out massive 2000 AD news for this date above

Ashley's art book "Tre Tarino" will be in the stores soon, please click here , to see some pages.

17.11

Ashley speaks more about 2000 AD, when it's going to be available and about 2000 AD art:
"johnny and wulf
even the gronk..
the stix brothers are great too...Strontium Dog alone has a wealth of characters !!!"
" I buy 2000ad art all the time, its my fav of all comics, the artwork on my walls remind of where it started for me... as you can tell, its very important in my world !"
"Angel gang will rock.."
"the only strings worth pullng..
Ill even make Tharg a cool fig ! but hard to get.. coz im bastard !"
"the new year, no dates yet"


Men from N.O.M photos info, regular set photos would be shown, the question is will we see Blanc Nom photos:
"soon as I have any shots, even quickys from HK ill show... fingers crossed
I think the real Nom commanders are better than the shadow, i was just checking them again for photographing, the faces look better, the contrast of skin against the dirty fatigues etc...
both rock, but im swayed to the real noms a little..."
"We put out the figs how we see fit, and stand by them, for better or worse.
Of course the standard will be seen, very soon actually, its the Blanc Nom that are in question."


Ashley about Tre Tarino, commenting Eric's joke, that Tre Tarino is like shopping guide to him:
"shopping guide !
love it..."
"I have a lot of the stuff in that book still by the way eric... cough cough"


Ashley comments on Day After WWIII by BHEAD customs and whether it's possible to make a union between 3A and artist BHEAD:
"very cool, super cool, but the issues I see, cost, lots of injection plastic, clothing and other details there, HIGH numbers would have to be sold to cover costs, or charge a way too high price which negates the reason for us to do it, is it all hand cast from original designs and molds, or are parts scavenged from other kits and toys ?, coz there would be copyright issues too as some parts look familiar to me ? but I could be wrong there.
But could we make these , of course we could."
"but still, if thats the case, everything has to be redesigned then to avoid trouble, copyright litigation can kill any company, especially lil ol 3A !"

" not in the short term, we are at maximum for 2010/11.."

Happy Birthday wishes to our 3A board, which is one year old now. You can click here and wish something or share your experience.

This is must see review of Oyabun Naga, by our boardie Nael. Click here for video.

Ashley about Men from N.O.M art, which would be different from the Shadow NOM art.
"congrats to the board... 1 year.. seems like yesterday.
Artwork for single noms will not be seen on any other fig.
The nom set is different"


To remind you, answer about whether Men from N.O.M come as set only and price:
"sold as a set, as always have been since day one.
re price, dont know, its all depends on accounting... ill know soon"


2000 AD toys from 3A, will come in 1/6th scale:
"1/6th gimby
well the judges will come with daysticks,lawgivers, birdies etc. If the demand is there, yes to lawmaster, I would love the manta, but I think most people wouldnt wanna plunk down the dosh, nor have space !"
"thats a classic ABC warrior line, one for the fans !"


Men from N.O.M photos (no photos of the Blanc Commanders yet) and announcement from the 3A production blog:
"The N.O.M Commanders set will go onsale on Friday 20th November at 9-00am AEST ( Melbourne time ) at Bambaland. Each set will cost 250 usd and that price includes shipping anywhere in the world. 3AA members will have the chance to purchase the Blanc Commanders set."

Please check news for this date above and beautiful Men from N.O.M photos

Ashley about Men from N.O.M, his design work, sculptor and etc:
"dude we are small, everything you see, i do, and always stretched for time too. basically if its seen, its me.. for better for worse."
"for the coolest collectors and supporters, best one year forum anniversary gift we could do !"
"maybe"
"well they look similar coz.. they are ! but there is a difference.
the blancs look real different cough cough"
" anubis, the sculptor follows detailed drawings, nothing is chanced, he is awesome though,he can sculpt anything I send him !"
"anbis, I do all the designs, all the tech drawings, I dont have a toy company to let others draw my ideas. Its easy, I have designed shit for nealry 20 years, from film to video games and back, the paintings are just that the paintings , not toy designs.
man I need an FAQ, coz I swear I keep answering his.. EVERYTHING, from head to gun, to robot are designed, drawn by me, then tweaked as they go, yes it sounds ego to say, but I do it, Im proud of it, and nothing wrong with pointing it out."


Ashley about beautiful Nael's Oyabun Naga review, I showed you earlier:
"brilliant, that wins a DIY de Plume.. !"
Congrats to Nael! Absolutely deserved! Check out the video, if you haven't.

Ashley talking about offering prints or posters for sale at bambalandstore:
"oh yea, ill put those online asap for sale"

Maybe after reading this again, questions about who designs 3A toys, would stop, the answer is Ashley Wood:
"the sculptor follows detailed drawings, nothing is chanced, he is awesome though,he can sculpt anything I send him !"
"I do all the designs, all the tech drawings, I dont have a toy company to let others draw my ideas. Its easy, I have designed shit for nealry 20 years, from film to video games and back, the paintings are just that the paintings , not toy designs.
man I need an FAQ, coz I swear I keep answering his.. EVERYTHING, from head to gun, to robot are designed, drawn by me, then tweaked as they go, yes it sounds ego to say, but I do it, Im proud of it, and nothing wrong with pointing it out."

Ashley speaking in 2000 ad thread:
"ahhhh the titan reprints, love those bastards !"

More about N.O.M being in production and Ashley answers to the idea, whether it would be possible to make some head molds, with the faces of the most designated and passionate 3A fans (click on the quote link to better understand the context):
"there are a set amount, already in production. there should be enough if you want one, no need to stress"
"Masto, maybe.. you never know, if I have time to do it, I might ! The drawing and tweaking of sculpts does take me a while, and im sooo stretched im gonna snap soon !
twang, there I go !
But Im not ruling it out, hard part is defining the ultimate fan ?"

Remember SOLDIER OF N.O.M Alpha recruits cards? Here is new word from Ashley about them, click here to see the list. I'm sure that very soon, we will know how to inform 3A if your name was on the list, please don't be nervous:
"re cards, i will honor the first list and back up, we will probably have cards left over so after the list chaps, we will assign the rest of the cards in order of sales until they are gone.
thats the best me and Kim can do !"
"blancs are not invlo0ved in the cards...."


19.11

Ashley about SOLDIER OF N.O.M Alpha recruit card and how to get them, and of course about Men from N.O.M itself:
"re list, recruit card people, once you have your order, drop 3A a line with it and you position on the list etc.."
"like the 3A logo, the Kim gasmask is red, the ash A is blue, thus the colors correspond to the lenses"
" only sold in sets, I think some retailers are going to get some, we allocated some for retail.."
"the list is kinda weird, cool, but so many miss out..gah I dont enjoy that..mmmmm"
"signing would be tough due to once they leave the factory they into shipping, no in-between..I would If I could."
"a4 paper, will have a stranger scrawl Nom on it and stuff into box...normal 3A shit"
"ok, if your on the "list", it doesnt matter if you buy a regular or blanc commnders set, you get the card..transmission end."


Ashley speaks in the Day After WWIII by BHEAD thread:
"day after WWIII..well that would be NOM..."

More 2000 AD:
"Rebellion own 2000ad and all the IP's.."
"hitting overtime, I smashed it years ago, im post overtime now..
Hoagy will be cool...
2000ad is the home to sooo many cool characters its mind blowing, even tharg makes a cool figure... you will see soon !"


Ashley speaks about NOM ?ber overlord:
"NOM LORD.."
"all done, a staple of WWR, she is very inmportant.."
" beyond the nom commanders have a slight likeness to me and kim, they are serious characters in the WWR world, like the NOM that will be revealed. There is a 3 hose NOM VON that gonna get release, he is kinda cool too"
" VON is German Lord"


Since this question is going to be very important to lots of people, let's summarize it about the SOLDIER OF N.O.M Alpha recruit cards. If your on the "list", it doesn't matter if you buy a regular or Blanc Commanders set, you get the card. 3A will honor the first list and back up, and will probably have cards left over so after the list 3A will assign the rest of the cards in order of sales until they are gone. If you are on the list and made the order, drop a line to 3A ( info@threeaonline.com ) a with your order number and your position on the list. Click here to see the original list.

Since people keep asking, whether there is going to be any more NOM Commanders, here is the answer, only three NOM Commanders versions would be produced: Shadow (HK Venture exclusive), regular (released on 20th of November), Blanc Commanders (released on 20th November as well, 3AA exclusive):
"only commanders are the 3 announced ( shadow, Nom, Blanc ),there will be no more"

Ashley about NOM ?ber overlord and how we can read it more about this figure in the Fuck It magazine:
"high heeled military style boots !
FI will be the place to learn more about the WWR universe"
"thanks hr, yup Fuck It..."


It's one of the current FAQ's...Men from N.O.M set costs - 250$, shipped worldwide.

Ashley about WWR Armstrong and special version of him - Suicide Club, which would be only sold by Sideshow:
"shipping soon !ill reveal the Sc armstrong soon..."
"nope sideshow are the retailer, ill sneak an image, but the rest is in their court"


Men from N.O.M aka N.O.M Commanders will go on sale SO soon, 250 USD, worldwide shipping included!

Text from the production blog:
Head over to Bambaland at 9-00am AEST ( Melbourne ) tomorrow and grab a N.O.M Commanders set, two great figures ( Thrice Naut and Post Fire ) for 250 usd, the price includes worldwide shipping anywhere !

19.11

NOM days is almost open us, let's summarize everything we know so far.

There are going to be two versions up for sale at www.bambalandstore.com, on 20th of November, 9:00 AM AEST. You can check out time zones here. One regular version (Men from N.O.M) and one 3AA (Blanc Commanders) version. Regular - buy more than one if you want to. 3AA limited to one per buyer. If there are going to be some of Blanc Commanders left, after 24 hours sale for 3AA, Blanc Commanders would be offered to the general audience. 3AA members, please don't forget to sign in at the bambalandstore and check the 3AA section, for Blanc Commanders. Each set costs 250$ with the worldwide shipping included. No more N.O.M Commanders would be made (since there were planned only three of them: Shadow (HK Venture exclusive), regular (released on 20th of November), Blanc Commanders (released on 20th November as well, 3AA exclusive), so it's our last chance.

Now about the SOLDIER OF N.O.M Alpha recruit cards. If your on the "list", it doesn't matter if you buy a regular or Blanc Commanders set, you get the card. 3A will honor the first list and back up, and will probably have cards left over so after the list 3A will assign the rest of the cards in order of sales until they are gone.

If you name is on the list, of first people, who sign up to make the Men from N.O.M happen, here is what you have to do, in order to get the SOLDIER OF N.O.M Alpha recruit card. Here is the link to the list:
http://3atoys.hyperboards.com/index.php?action=view_topic&topic_id=359&start=1, to see if you are there or not, as Ashley said all the list members will get the card, not only first 75.
So, you have to provide your order number and your name on the list, and send all this to info@threeaonline.com, here is how I did (I hope it will help to somebody, to get the better idea):

Check out lots of HK Venture photos, by Sir Dirty Girty. These photos are great, I feel like I've been there and had some fun time, with the boardies.

Now, a bit of personal information from me...I need to go on the work trip to another job site for six days, will be back here with you on next Friday evening. I'm sure I would be very busy there, but since it's not civilized, there is a good chance of no Internet or only local connection. If there would be a connection, I will update news daily as always. And if not and something huge happens, I asked ennui, to make some updates to the news, so I'm sure you will not miss anything. Plus, as we all know, Men from N.O.M just happened and no releases, till next month. I feel bad, about a possibility of not being there with you, after doing this news for each and every day, almost for a year now. I miss you all and the board already..Please have a great time here and hail to 3A!

Ashley commenting in his art thread:
"so you guys were the three..
I really appreciate it too, but the word from diamond was , you suck..
To do it literally took all my time, I loved it, really enjoyed it, but the economics of things cut in etc.
But with Fuck It I dont care, I explore Les Mort is short bursts, WWR installments, loads of shit. Ther is no central theme or character or direction, one month might be comic heavy, then the next photo's of feet and a painting discussion etc.
no flaps coz they coz 12" squared is big enough !"


Ashley commenting in the 2000 AD thread:
"Blockmania is a classic, leading into the Apoc War, which as a young lad, BLEW MY MIND !!!!

"titan have many reprints from back in the day, Blockmania, Dredd series 1-30 or so, Nemesis, rogue trooper and so on.
Its all fun to hunt down and enjoy. I personally like the Titan reprints best as they are the same size as the original comic, and didnt reduce the page size to be more comicshop or collector friendly !"

25-27.11

Last summarize of the news. I'm back guys, missed you all a lot, it's hell to live without the board and 3A community.

So what happened during this past days, apart of SUPER EXCITING 3AA news (please check them out above), beautifully summarized, by ennui! Let's find out!

Ashley posting in the 2000 AD thread:
"0 is actually quite astute, as tharg exists outside the pantheon of 2000ad characters as a overlord, therefore not really part of the 2000ad character collection, which will start with #1, a #0 offers a place within the collection, without being part. Very simple....ERIC ( I still have my bagged Xfactor #1's in a bank vault ) SEFFINGA !"
"it all depends on you guys, if there is demand I can make anything..."
"dredd and death are cool, but there are so many other cool, or cooler characters in the 2000ad stable, Stontium Dog could be its own toy line, Nemesis, ABC Warriors, Rogue Trooper, DR&Quinch, Slaine, Harry20, Ro-Busters etc.. each of those titles has many cool characters worth making. So many !!!"
"um yea, thats what I have been saying, ALL OF THEM, not just Dredd, Death etc
The characters will look like the comic version, im not redesigning them, Durham will look like Carlos first did it and so on.... these are 2000ad comic toys, not hyper realistic BS reworks to fit in with a trend or get popularity points, 2000ad toys for 2000ad fans.."
"Im mcmahon/kennedy dredd fan, Bolland is awesome, carlos, bisley, the list grows, there will be a few, the apocalypse war dredd will have a carlos feel, stub gun included !"


Ashley about previous animation by Nael:
"naga getting the award is best"

Ashley saying how difficult it would be to top themselves (as 3A) after the Men from N.O.M release:
"easy"

Ashley about WWRp De Plume:
"well I want 5.5-6ich fig, just like his big bro... !"
" I thought Gi jow and starwars were 3.75 iches , these are very different"
" yea, it will be like the 12" brother for articulating or very close. no statues !"


About Heavy Tomorrow Kings:
" we changed from screen-printed shirt stripes to cloth stripes for th heavy TKs, way cooler !"
"they really make a difference, and a poster in the box.. HEAVY TK = BARGAIN !"


Ashley about NOM Commanders and Blanc Commanders, and about their appearances and whether are some Blancs left:
"nom set is very different to the SHOW version, no relation at at all"
"just to be clear, no more blancs are being offered now. if there are any, they will be sold on bambaland at shipping time."
"actually one shirt arm is short, one is long, like all NOM"


Guess what figures will ship out next week? I'm SO EXCITED!!
"armstrong and desert LM will be shipping next week
HEavy TK Bambaland orders in late december, and hopefully the mini berties too !"


Ashley about boardies therethere's photos (check them out):
"very, very nice !"

Ashley answering on the Micronauts:
"fancy that"

Ashley about Fuck It magazine:
"art is science....with soul.."

More from Ashley's blog about Fuck It:
Is shuffling towards publication in 2010, to be published by IDW publishing, who else !
The name FUCK IT isn't a verve towards how cool are we, but a affirmation, just jump in, say fuck it,give it a go.
This is mine ( Ashley Wood ) and T P Louise's strike against the mediocre and PC world that surrounds us. Art, writing, photos, shit, old characters and new.
Attached is a prototype cover, so don't get too excited..
More info soon !


November - 2009 Fione.th

Ashley about him and Jeremy painting together at HK Venture this year and about art buying system, which was introduced at the show:
"thanks cheapo, I agree jezzer and me contrast well, hence why we are doing some duel paintings together etc and very much both looking forward to next years venture.
great things are in the works !"
"yup, it stays at the show until finished, the art will be shipping to the new owners next week.
ohhh art day"


28.11

Ashley talking about ways of Fuck It (planned release in 2010) magazine distribution:
"just like they dont sell comics on amazon, they only sell trades and books, not mags."
"use midtown comics online subscription, there are many services like it.
a little effort is needed, it really depends on how much you want something."
"its a huge undertaking and cost to make them Gimby...
Comics and specialty shops are the best option, if I sold them on bambaland each issue would cost 30 bucks plus with shipping to get it to you. Reality is, there isnt a big choice of distro networks for mags like this, we take what we can."
"this isnt a commercial venture either, the cost of printing a large format mag x our time makes a break even pretty much the best case I can hope for."
"this will never be sold in amazon, Im not reprinting it in a book, only a mag.. just a FYI
midtown comics ship internationally , its no that expensive either"
"bambaland works a certain way, its not designed for mags, plus WHO would pay 6 times the cover price to get it, you could buy it from Midtown for the cover price plus shipping which is around 10-12 bucks express mail worldwide for 4-5 comics or mags.
Plus, Im not doing the distro, IDW is...
My time and thoughts are on creativity and content, not selling it or distribution."
"agreed"

Ashley about Heavy TK's poster, which comes in the box with the figure:
"creases are part of the charm, the poster belongs in the box, its not a separate product or item..!"

About Fuck It magazine distribution:
"Atomic comics will get it in Phoenix
Soon as I have figured the launch month ill crow about it. Give Diamond codes etc."

Ashley about new pack of 7 Tomorrow Kings (7 bones) bot heads designs and his advice to buy the 7 pack set and not to hunt on ebay:
"buy the 7 pack !
yea its not naga and yama, but they are still very cool!"
"the same, as hardly anyone really has them, by the amount of email I get.
keeps the cost down too, new tooling = higher price = more complaints"


Ashley about Oyabuns in the 7 bones pack and I repeat (if you missed it), there would be NO new sculpts for bot heads, which comes with the TK's. It would be the same head:
"the only way to get new Oya's from 3A, is in the 7pack, they are not Yama or Naga, a little different, colors, stuff.. but still Oya's."
"I just said no to new sculpts for bot heads.
the 7pack are not reissues of existing TK's, new colors and designs.
Im doing for it for two reasons, its fun for me, and many people want a tk with bot head, or oya's ot Kiba's bubby Ima ET"


Ashley about differences in the two 3AA (for existing members and for new members). The main difference is the discount, please read all the quotes carefully:
"how many feel this way ?
I would pay 150 just for Lil Plume.. buts thats me..."
"FYI
All exclusives will only be sold to 3AA members, no general selling will occur, the amount ordered in a specified time of the said exclusives will be made.
thats the edict for 3AA 2010."
"all original members get the discount if they re-join, plus a small overflow."
" Kim and me just had a meeting, we have decided to offer a second version of the 3AA club, all the same benefits without discount, it will still be limited in nature but it will open up more spots, and chances for lil de plume"
" same price, we are not making you buy it, up to you.."

Behold! Blanc Commander photos, each time I'm waiting for something new from 3A and have my expectations in mind...I'm always amazed, how 3A surplus them:

News about WWR Large Martin (Desert) and WWR Armstrong shipping:
Armstrong and Desert Martin
Armstrong and Desert Martin have started the shipping process, depending on your region will determine the timeframe etc


Ashley about 3AA dates and how exclusives would be sold:
"FYI
All exclusives will only be sold to 3AA members, no general selling will occur, the amount ordered in a specified time of the said exclusives will be made . No minimum or maximum, made to order.
thats the edict for 3AA 2010."
"also, its still limited it will be offered on the 15th of jan."
"yes to 15th as new recruit day"
"times might change as im leaving tassie this month, ill let you all know ahead of time !"


One more 3AA clarification from Ashley:
"Nope 150 is it for all memberships
dont buy if the discount matters, or try and get one of the open spots sporting a discount."


Let's summarize everything:
There are two 3AA memberships, for existing members with the discount benefits. Same package for the new members, but without a discount. Both membership costs 150$. Both would be limited and both would get WWRp de Plume, as an exclusive figure. There would be a very limited amount of spots, for the 3AA membership with the discount (if existing 3AA members would refuse to renew, plus 3A adding some spots). For now, the date for the new members is 15th (being sold most likely for 24 hours). And 8th of January for the existing members. From now on all exclusives will only be sold to 3AA members, no general selling will occur, the amount ordered in a specified time of the said exclusives will be made . No minimum or maximum, made to order. I hope we clear now?

Ashley about Blanc Commanders, N.O.M Commanders and what he likes about rare variants:
"remember this, I always make the main release what I believe is the best and most congruent version, the "standard " is my best. The shadow and Blanc are cool, really like them, but the Nom Commanders are the top choice.
Ill say this though, the Blancs look a little darker and soiled than way the images appear online."
"the standard release is the canon release, which is most important, the chases are fun and cool stuff, but I dont like them over chase over regular. I know many do, and thats cool. Im very fond of the Nighwatch , Daywatch vibe though"


A mysterious, but very exciting picture (featuring Night Watch and Day Watch themes) appeared in the 3A production blog:

November - 2009 888gx.th

Ashley speaking about it:
"you guys are nuts, but if we made these, they would be limited, probably would alrady have them etc..
but Im not saying we are.."
"3AA exclusives are done for this year, if these were being made they would be for everyone, but limited
not saying anything else, coz it crazy talk"
"I always use the date that corresponds to where im living"


Ashley about DIY toys from 3A, perhaps a new line?
"you guys are gonna love BOT FAC, think ASH BOTS, but with MICRONAUTS like versatility etc.. !
thats if you like DIY


There would be a new membership card for 3AA:
"every year is a new card"

Tomorrow Queens in the 7bones, boys will have some company?
"never said there wasnt a TQ in the Bones club"
