More ACG photos, by our booth visitors. A bit of the warning: Please keep in mind that all these photos are taken of the figures behind the glass and at very specific lighting, so colors might seem wrong. There are few prototypes tho, which don't represent the final look of our figures.

I want to thank Terence Tam, Edmond Tsoi, Dennis Chau, ZIP, Aman Yuen for all the photos!

Here is the closer look to Popbot 4th EDO BLUE, unpacked by Edmond Tsoi.

Ashley Wood is back from his trip to ACG and here is he talking about his ACG experience and threeA Online Thingy (which we had to reschedule):

"What a great trip, Guangzhou was great fun, our host BBICN put on a great display and the peeps of Zhou made us feel great, thanks to all ! Bummer about the online sale, our online store hosts pulled the plug on us as the traffic hitting bamba starting effecting other sites, which I can kinda like, doesnt help sell stuff but shows the power of the legion! Unless I can get a technical upgrade asap, Im going to figure out a easier way to sell JC. lizbeth and co… So watch this space if you are into those cats ! I think It goes without saying that we here at 3A really care when shit like that happens and if we had the power to avert it we would! Anyway thanks to all, your passion is fuel for our worlds!

We plan to close VALVe Team Fortress 2 Mann vs. Machine Robot Heavy pre-order at Bambalandstore tomorrow.

Everyone keeps asking me about October shipping plans and updates, the thing is that it's currently public holidays at China (from October 1st till October 7th), I got to have some sort of an update for you later next week. Anxious myself, always happy to announce figures shipping and seeing our toys at your homes!

AK Shit Got Real Fighting DJC and Goodbye Lizbeth are up for pre-order at www.bambalandstore.com for 24 hours only!

An update from Ashley Wood, concerning the pre-order:
"apart from the chance to score a GUANGZHOU version of each figure, there will also be super rare versions of both, like PALE AS FUCK JC, LIZBETH TQ. If you dont want any of these and just what you bought please state in the order message window!"

Btw, F5 bar is moved to this thread, so if you have the fan-art coming dedicated to AK Shit Got Real DJC or GOODBYE VOYAGER Lizbeth, please don't hesitate to post it there!

Facebook event page is started too here.

Asley Wood about the sale:

YOU HAVE JOINED COO
even if you dont know it.
C.O.O
thanks for supporting our war, worlds are not built on feathers and lime cordial, but discord and vodka.

I noticed that people are asking a lot what is the chase figure.

Chase figure – is rare variant, which is placed randomly in regular figure boxes (chase figure might have a unique box art too). But essentially it's a game of luck and you don't know whether you scored the chase, until you received the figure in your hands. In past we had couple of cases, where customers asked to replace chase figures with exactly what they ordered (there are people who don’t like surprises), so this time we are offering an alternative if you DON"T want a chance to score chase, just put the message in special instruction box at www.bambalandstore.com during checkout process.

And no, it doesn't work vice-versa, you can't say that you want chase figure.

MOON RONIN IS UP for 3AA only tho

once its gone, its gone, not re appearance!

summary and unlike previously I decided to keep urgent updates on sale dates (which are posted here, once blog is updated), instead of deleting them and integrating, like I did in the past.

VALVe Team Fortress 2 Mann vs. Machine Robot Heavy pre-order is done and figures will be available via retail. Thanks to everyone who supported this release and welcome to collecting threeA to all new customers, who just discovered us!

Sunday Q&A session with Ashley Wood:

And here is our third session with Ashley Wood, I hope you guys are enjoying it as much, as I do. And if you want these sessions to keep happening, please submit your interesting and original questions to gimbat@threeAonline.com ; use “Ask” thread here at threeA forum or you can submit your questions via messages at our 3AVOX Facebook page.

Q: What’s behind the name Popbot? Is it something from your past? Is the ‘Pop’ short for something?
A: POPBOT is a term for computer networks, plus its the word POP. I’m a fan of POP artists as well. It seemed natural to put POP with BOT , bot obviously short for ROBOT.

Q: Will we see Isobelle in 1/12th scale?
A: nope

Q: Is WWR Oscar still on your radar or Bertie MK3 will remain biggest threeA bot?
A: SUPPORT is all I need!

Q: With making horror classics, like Zomb and Mumbs (and possible Dracula fig) is there a chance for AK Bigfoot?
A: Well the Zomb and Mumb have a reason to be there, not just monsters for monsters sake, the Bigfoot is cool, as its so dumb, but as of yet there are no plans !

Q: Would you ever give us the option for an art themed 3AA Member pack? Instead of a toy, offer up say Fuck-It #5 instead? Add in a Fuck-It shirt and a Fuck-It tote, maybe a print, plus the card and discount of course. There could be a toy option as well for the vinyl fiends.
A: The cost of making the set always outweighs the price, and making different versions would kill us. Just buy FI5 , ill make a FUCK IT tote if people want it!

Q: Can you please give us an update about Popbot #9 and WWR Deluxe book?
A: Work is done on one, the other carries on, but as they are published by IDW I have to play by other rules.

Q: Will we see new Tomorrow Queens outside of TKLUB bonus fig?
A: YES!!!! Early 2014, and in TKLUB 2014.

Q: Will Harold bots be offered again via Bamba or retail?
A: Retail, will see a new range…sometime.

Q: How soon Jungler Armstrong (which we raised support for) might become available at Bambalandstore?
A: Ha, funny, the only sample is in my warehouse.. I gotta find, photograph it and put it on bamba. The last of the Armstrong mk1! so, soon as I can, WF yo!

Q: How are Microman going? I can’t wait to get my hands on ‘em!
A: We are looking at a November sale, I would love to show you guys, but Takara runs the show, and rightly so!

Q: Very excited after another EVENFALL reveal at ACG in Guangzhou. How close are these 1/6th scale figures to production and which one might be first?
A: Alien goes on sale in November, then the suit should be close behind in the new year, TOTEM will be a major line for us, I’m excited about it!

Q: Any chance that you can acquire “Pacific Rim” movie license? threeA would nail those juggernauts!
A: No plans yet, great designs though !

Q: Are any Lore comic figures currently in the works and if they are, which ones are they?
A: Yes, actually, Jennifer and Johnathan.

Q: Will we see classic WWR factions in WWREvol as well? Like EMGY, Medic, DW &NW and others?
A: Those factions and many more actually fad or become outlaws, EMGY is disbanded due to their high death rate of civilians and and become a guerrilla unit, DW and NW become NOM factions as we know already, MEDIC is always medic, but in EVOl there isn’t much time to save the injured !

Q: Are you going to continue Duo Star Racers comic?
A: Well DUOSTAR needs to be right, I have figures and vehicles in my office, but not right and therefore I cannot ask people to support it. Maybe ill work with a creative partner on it, I think on this daily!

Ashley Wood about it:

IN THE SECOND ISSUE OF LOOKBOOK 3A, we take a detailed look at the latest figure from Ashley Wood’s Adventure Kartel series - Cold Merde. This is the second time Merde has shown up in the series. The first version - called Merde Mission - was an exclusive figure offered at the 3A / Beast Kingdom Toys show in Taiwan back in April of this year.

Merde is the father of Bleak Mission and grandfather to Adventure Kartel mainstay Tommy Mission. Cold Merde is a 1/6th scale figure standing at 12-inches (30.5cm) tall. He sports a removable winter long coat featuring a faux-fur trimmed hood, and a navy blue military-inspired rib-knit sweater with zip-up turtleneck as well as faux-leather boots - for shit-kicking of course. Ready to deal death to Zomb and hume alike, Merde comes equipped with 8 separate semi-automatic pistols, each with their own holster and removable magazine.

Please click on the cover below to download LOOKBOOK 3A.

Adventure Kartel Cold Merde PREMADE ltd is up at www.bambalandstore.com right now.

It's a limited sale!


Closer look at Adventure Kartel Cold Merde and his story:


The Incident At Quasi-Stockhold 1936. Tacked the Princeps Bot to Quasi-Stockholm, did my thing, (I'm not talking pitching woo), and fired up a Chesterfield. If I had known where this trip for biscuits was going and what it was going to do to my future heritage I would have probably fired up two Chesterfields, but hindsight is a fucker I don't like to visit often. It's like I always say, Adventure first, Adventure second, so I just did my thing....

Currently first pre-made batch is soldout, but there will be more!

Adventure Kartel Cold Merde PREMADE ltd last batch - according to the blog is up at Bambalandstore for now. First come - first served.

It’s Sunday here, so it’s time for another Sunday Q&A session with Ashley Wood. As before, below you will find a good number of questions (sent by fans) and answered by Ashley. If you want these sessions to keep happening, please go with one of the ways to submit your interesting and original questions to gimbat@threeAonline.com ; use “Ask” thread at threeA forum or you can submit your questions via messages at our 3AVOX Facebook page.

This time I added some links in various places, so people who just discovering us, could understand the questions better. And hey, if you have questions about our figures, never hesitate to ask and I’ll be happy to help.

Q: Will we see a Tomorrow Queen and King two-pack set in the future?
A: I was thinking about that, I would say early new year, a covert team etc, or sum in like that, maybe a couple, a rare moment of love in a terrible time!

Q: What’s the story behind Shit Got Real JC? Is he on fucking Robot Island fighting robots, must be harder than fighting Zombs hence “shit got real” for JC. Is that what you had in mind as well? And will we see other “SHIT GOT REAL” versions of AK characters or is that just a JC thing?
A: It’s the next phase of JC’s life, as he believes a harder stance is needed as there are too many zombis, mumbs and other crazy shit!

Q: I’m always curious about knowing more about Adventure Kartel characters, are for instance Cold Dick and Bleak Mission the same and Flakey Frost / Little shadow, what about Snow Paw?
A: Mostly the name changes occur when they are doing shit they don’t want to be known or pinned for! I really wanna show you guys what I have in my head, just takes time, hang in there with me!

Q: Will one or both sides of TKLUB Ronin Oya Suns collar be able to open with velcro, so he can be displayed with head visible and collar flat around neck? Can you please reveal / hint more about Ronin Oya Sun?
A: You can remove the whole collar thingy, or position as you like, its rather nifty, and with some thought many combos can be attained, ill get more images out showing this before the sale. Sun and Moon represent a shift or rather flaw in the TK genetic line, becoming more individual as they grow older, hence the need for G2 TK, coming after Sun!

Q: The Grunts is know to be the cheapest weapon on the battlefield and bots (especially big ones) are the most expensive. Is there something in-between in WWR world, let’s say combining wounded humans and broken robots? In war recycling could mean profit as well?
A: Well Rothchild like robots, the idea of a combo, or say giving a crippled solider robotic legs doesn’t fly, the drop cloth is the logical middle ground , but it makes sense business size for Rothchild to keep both worlds separate. EVOL wil show how he has to evolve and change his methods though !

Q: Any chance of a reprint of the AK Primer for new guys and gals or big Adventure Kartel book with old and new stories?
A: YES, actually something cool real soon, very bit of stuff so far, and new!

Q: Do you love Transformers? any chance for us to see 3A x Transformers in the future?
A: mmm …

Q: Will you consider expanding your Real Steel license, to make remaining fighting robots?
A: We are making them all if you guys support it, Noisy Boy is coming up this month, or early Nov.

Q: Can you please elaborate about C.O.O or hint what does it change potentially for threeA and Legion?
A: C>O>O is a manifesto for 3A, and me, the meaning will be revealed later as its too broadly interpreted, 3A isn’t a normal company driven by normal things!

Q: Will there ever be AK 1:1 scale heads release or perhaps new 1:1 kitties?


A: Yes to heads, and new kitties!!! As we manifest on this plain, totems are needed, as a way to show where you stand !

Q: What can we expect from TKLUB going forward, realistically might it work out to about six figures a year, or will it always be unpredictable? Will for instance we see a pack of three original TK t-shirts in 1:1 scale and etc.
A: Yea, I don’t wanna work to a plan, the figures that are released are basically my internal story I have for TK’s, but I think a t-shirt pack of original TK shirts is cool, we will mix it up when it seams apt!

Q: Do characters like the Golden Zombot, Lemon Guard, or the Downside among others exist in physical form at least like in a drawing or sketch? Or are they just mental amoebas still trying to take shape?
A: Golden Zombot is real, already ! Lemon guard too, the Downside is a buddy of the Golden Dolphin, maybe the most fucked up character in the entire Adventure Kartel world!

Q: How do the Strigoi Aliens (from EVENFALL) feed on their victims? If they indeed feed/lifedrain.
A: You will see!

Q: Can you please share any details about movies based on your Intellectual property, which are in production, like Popbot, WWR, Lore and Zombies vs Robots?
A: Popbot is going well, we have many attached but until we have it locked, it just continues in pre-production and such, we have quite a lot to show for our time, but me and Ford are looking at making a film that well defies what you can do, or why bother! Lore is going well too, and there should due some info soon, but thats a Warner Bros thing, ZvR is looking for a director last I heard, I guess I’m not cool enough to do it! WWR is in a similar position to ZvR!

Q: Would you ever consider putting out painting tutorials, or behind the scenes toy designing videos? Or perhaps some insights shared in WO3A?
A: I will show toy designs and how they start and how I work with Siu to get them into your hands etc. Its kinda fun, trick is showing it so its looks interesting!

Q: We know that you are constantly drawing, whether it’s in the sketchbook, napkins or anything else which is around. Do you keep all your drawings or just the ones made in sketchbooks? How many sketchbooks you go through per year?
A: I have many sketchbooks, loose pages, this and that, I’m pretty OCD for drawing and cut through literally 1000′s of pieces of paper a year. Though many look like shit, some are looking great and I see no reason to slow down as one day my hand and eyes won’t be in sync! I might take another photo of the latest drawings on the floor for my blog, thanks for the idea!

Q: When we might hear some background stories about two new Squares shown at ACG?


A: Well the blue and white FAT CLOUD one is data tower on legs, they roam around giving better coverage of the FAT CLOUD data system, which is used by most peeps on earth, of course its a ROTCHILD company! FREMANTLE Square is a dock worker from the port of well.. FREMANTLE.

Q: I was a big fan of the clear boxes with a slip case some of the 1/6th figures use to come in like Tracey TQ, is there any chance that these will ever be used again? Maybe even for Isobelle?
A: Yes, actually I’m a fan, hence the SWANK stuff !!!

Q: Will Bear Pasha be offered as singles only or perhaps there would be an option to buy 2pack / 3pack?
A: Well I dunno actually, normally I figure that shit out on the day I make an ad, I have not heard from the Pascha ether whats the best way, though a 3 pack would due nice, maybe in clear boxes etc….

3AA members, Ronin Oya Sun is waiting for you at www.bambalandstore.com


Look what popped up at Bambalandstore around 19:40 Hong Kong time:


And no, it's not 3AA only and therefore not a part of TKLUB, as you can see TQ isn't mentioned in the description.

Ashley Wood posting on the blog:
"I had a crummy day, no power for most of it, it was just restored, kinda shit all round…but then I get this epic support, for my tales and ideas, to be able to do this is so profoundly touching it defies words, or im having a meltdown be without the EMF all day… thanks regardless!

An update from Ashley Wood regarding Popbot Ronin TK Snowblind batches:
When the first batch of Snowblind is gone, we will offer the last batch tomorrow, our morning, HK time. !
I guess I can impart some more info, same stuff as SUN, but not the same color, and has a different head etc…

So to summarize about Popbot Ronin TK Snowblind, it has different head than TKLUB #4 Ronin Oya Sun, comes with same gear as SUN, but not the same color. AND it's not 3AA only and purchase of Popbot Ronin TK Snowblind ain't going towards Random Classic TQ like TKLUB #4 purchase.

Snowblind Ronin TK first batch is gone according to the blog:
"More tomorrow, dont stress, or waste time hammering the store, enjoy your friday, dig a pit, look for shit, have a drink!"

More information from Ashley Wood, this time about Tomorrow Queens:
"here is some info for ya, the TKLUB is a TQ, using our new 10″ female body !yet to release a female with our chunkier body come to think of it, maybe a set ! or seperate… wahtever, there will a 10″ TQ ! … i guess much higher in heels !… dinner here…"

Heads up to you guys: Team Fortress 2 SANDVICH – OMNOMNOMED edition is up at VALVe store.


Popbot TKLUB #2 Nage M.I.A is shipping out now and here are first hands on photos by Ian Ross Lallen and River Tsai

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM 3A! For the past two years 3A has offered up a special figure at the end of October to kick off the Halloween season. In 2011 we saw the release of Zombkin and in 2012 it was Charkin - both from Ashley Wood’s Adventure Kartel series.

Check out Liz and Pasha between the sheets...

Sunday Q&A #5:

It’s Sunday here, so it’s time for our regular thingy: Sunday Q&A session with Ashley Wood!

Below you will find a good number of questions (sent by fans) and naturally answered by Ashley. If you want these sessions to keep happening, please go with one of the ways to submit your interesting, original and not asked before questions to gimbat@threeAonline.com ; use “Ask” thread at threeA forum or you can submit your questions via messages at our 3AVOX Facebook page.

Like last time, I added some links in various places, so people who just discovering us, could hopefully understand the questions better. And hey, if you have questions about our figures, never hesitate to ask and I’ll be happy to help.

Q: Will there every be any kind of lighting effects put on the robots from World War Robot universe or the new World Best Robots?
A: If they make sense, yup!

Q: Will we see a parasite/vamp/alien in the EVENFALL OSM series? Also any chance the next 0g T.H.U.G suit will include a unpainted pvc pilot figure to stand next to it etc.?
A: If there is demand for OSM yes, there will be all the TOTEM characters, from THUG to pilot, the OSM is the Zero G THUG, we shall see how it does.

Q: Is HALO Master Chief dropping this year?
A: Fingers crossed, I want that one a lot!

Q: Can you please tell us a bit of the story about Ronin TK Moon and Ronin Oya Sun, how their life was different, why Oya Sun has SUP-Bomb and etc. Any info will be appreciated!
A: Not enough room to put down why they chose to leave the path, and it kinda gives a large part of the mystery of TK away… one day.

Q: Are you gonna make a villain version of Auroral or any Isobelle figures? She looks always so smiley and happy, so perhaps there is a chance of seeing evil and angry expression on her face?
A: Well Kreigstein is coming and Cray ( male characters ), they make trouble, but Pascha is always happy, as she always comes out on top…

Q: Are there plans for Mortis figures in the near future?
A: When we have the technique thats needed, Lasstranaut is helping with that at the moment!

Q: Any chance that we might see those 3A Parade x Swank apples at Bambalandstore?
A: The apples are called AUTUMN APPLES and yes there will be a big Apple and t-shirt offered soon, actually its good to go, so soon!

Q: Can you please elaborate about World Best Robots line, whether it’s part of Popbot or on it’s own now and will we see an articulated Brambleton Hardacre as part of WBR?
A: WBR is a separate universe, its evolved from my original idea into something much bigger and more fun, the first Robot to be offered is MARS, he is 24″ tall, my nod to the awesome SHOGUN WARRIOR 24″ figs of old! Each robot has a specific job etc, it takes years to get from my mind and solidify, but its very soon for a debut.

Q: With latest releases, we are seeing Tomorrow Kings in more mature / older age. Will we see an older version of the Slicer Kyu or others? And we still have the fire burning for Archer TK (any info would be appreciated as well)!
A: YUP, the original genetic line is aging, failing an the powers that introduce G2 TK’s from a different bloodline, they look a little different etc… Archer TK and baby TK is in the works, part of the new TKLUB TQ promo if all goes well!

Q: With the release of Cold Merde circa 1936, will there be other figures around the 1936 storyline?
A: I would like too, Merde’s partner, Oyster Doubleshot, the Princeps bot would be cool. Merde is the catalyst for all the crazy, he kinda went where no one ever should!

Q: What AK Cardboard Cathedral consists of now (or it’s still the same idea) and what we need to do, to make it happen?
A: Well I need a cardboard engineer I guess, I have the design, but making into a product that just works is tricky, I want my JC to reside in the AC !

Q: We remember that you were on the hunt for old-school toys few years ago. What toys do you collect these days and do you need any help from Legion?
A: 24″ SHOGUN WARRIORS BOXED, still love MEGO.. always need help, toy sourcing is an art!

Q: What artists would you be interested to collaborate to produce their IP into toys? Mike Mignola’s Hellboy maybe, wink – wink?
A: Mike knows we are there whenever he needs it, I’m so busy managing and designing my own, and the handful of licensed Ip, its make it very hard to think of any others… for now!

Q: Would you consider making VON5 from Popbot?
A: Yup, 5 Bros are on the table, and new Popbot.

Q: With answering on “Pacific Rim” and “Transformers” question, you opened the gates of hell! How about doing robots from “I, Robot” or “District 9″ robots & aliens or perhaps now classic Johnny Five from “Short Circuit” (please say yes to Johnny Five!)?!
A: I love all robots! We have a few surprises for you guys, we are working on stuff not mentioned~

Q: With all the sketching lately, have you had a chance to do any sketches for the Cosplay contest winners? And what’s with all the straight and perfectly cut boards lately? Where are the fucked up edges that are pain in the ass to frame?
A: I have nearly done them , the office ask me daily, really… they aint that straight, I was just trying to match two boards, and they are fucked up!.. I think the reason for better edges is, I use a jigsaw thingy now, I used a box cutter before, im getting more pro as I get older..

Q: Since mostly old generation WWR factions were disbanded, can you give a hint which new faction will be a major and unstoppable force in EVOL world?
A: Its between NOM and EARTH COALITION in the short term, EC have a new company to goto for bot, NOM suck down more smoke, and the Martians just watch and wait, something along those lines.

Q: Are you planning releasing another WWRp one colourway set (like Frosty Choads or Under the Bed Red set back in the day)?
A: I would love too!

Q: Since both Lemon Guard and Golden Zombot exist – can you please make all AK fans happy and show us the blurry? Or artist sketch perhaps or one of DOWNSIDE?
A: I think Lemon guard was seen, ill try and dig up Golden, I kinda have a large issue with too much stuff… WF Armstrong is still MIA, so wanna offer him!

Q: Halloween is almost upon us…so will Zombkin or Hotfoot SURPRISE rise up or Milky Ghosts is all what we are going to see?
A: MILKYS for now, we had another fig, but alas it wont make the cut…..sigh Milkys are great, nothing else is needed !

Q: Now a tricky question, we know that you always have some secrets up in your sleeve…so what is the most kept secret which are you the most excited to reveal in 2014?
A: Well it wouldn’t be a secret if we told !

ONSALE HALLOWEEN

1/6th scale Adventure Kartel HOT-FOOT JUST LIKES TO BURN SHIT.

Ashley Wood commenting about the figure:
"You remember Charkin, well HOT FOOT is the bot that made him, well charry.. Kicked outta the 10 Finger gang, as 11 finger gang didn’t sound as cool.. plus he kept setting fire to shit….."

After the announcement, you guys keep asking about the figure and whether it's pre-made...all I can say for now, that it's going to be a pre-order.

Sunday (sorta) Q&A #6 with Ashley Wood

Last Sunday was exceptionally busy in threeA realm, so instead of Sunday Q&A session…we are bring you MONDAY one! As you can see, this session is the most saturated yet and I hope you guys enjoy it and will show your appreciation, by sending even more questions for me to go through. Please send your questions to gimbat@threeAonline.com ; use “Ask” thread at threeA forum or you can submit your questions via messages at our 3AVOX Facebook page.

Q: I would like to know more about M.O.D, and why they become the only real threat to N.O.M?
A: Because MOD have no agenda or restriction, just a bunch of smart people, doing what they do. These guys are like game pirates from the 80′s, showing off, doing the impossible, cracking Rothchild encryption, getting off on be in an elite club etc.

Q: Any chance you can confirm that Lasstranaut is going to be sold sooner, rather than later? Got my 3AA all set so I can buy every possible variation I can get my hands on!!
A: Lasstranut is being ushered through the veil as I type, she will bring her love and star to our universe soon.

Q: Can we please get a clarification, which of the future TKlub releases is going to be the next generation TK or the new body TQ?
A: Well the next TKLUB isnt a 10″ TQ, the G2 HEAVY SLIVER is… big sword etc.

Q: Will there be any young character other than baby Tomorrow King, coming with Archer? Kids or teenagers Lil Shadow?
A: Well we have smaller female bodies and male bodies now, we have had a large female body for a while, just need the right character and moment!

Q: Are you currently working on any unnamed comics & art-books that will see publication? Either through his publishing from threeA, or another publisher, like IDW. Looking so much forward to sit down and getting lost in a great Ashley Wood comic story.
A: Always, but I have no plans for actual release dates, coz shit takes longer than I ever think, stuff will just pop up.. the next book from 3A comic wise is the AK SHIT HOT ADVENTURE ANNUAL, which takes all the comics so far and new stuff, with art etc… its a fun hardcover!

Q: Will we ever see MGS Rex and Ray in a smaller scale like? After seeing Lost Planet 2 models in 1/12th everything should be possible.
A: I guess anything is possible, need to get RAY out in December and see, but no plans as of yet.

Q: Are there any CAPCOM Lost Planet aliens, or Jungle enemies in the work?
A: Yes, the line needs your support to get there though!

Q: Have you played the video game Bioshock, and if so would you ever try to make a Big Daddy, or Handy Man, or even the Song Bird with a 3A custom colorway?
A: I have played all the Bioshock, years ago I was asked to try for a job as art director with the team, I sometimes think what could have been, though they certainly have done great and don’t need me.. they already have toys though I think?

Q: When can we get a shot at the Ankou Sentry in 1/12th scale? Skinny Drown needs to happen.
A: What, didnt we sell these?… ahh such a pro company!!

Q: Will we see again Tomorrow King with wide body in the future and if yes, does he have a name?
A: Yes, he is called Gurn-ika.. just making sure the body is right etc.. Fat TK is awesome, he wears it well!

Q: I have couple of Adventure Kartel figures on my mind right now, do you have any updates on AKLUB Zomb MD & Nurse set (date and price preferably)? And the same for AK Peppermint Grove.
A: Peppermint is November, Zomb MD is December if sample is ready, its a set, with his assistant Nursey.

Q: We know where Adventure Kartel Tommy Mission learned combat from, but where did Bleak and Merde learn it?
A: Tommy uses brute force, no skills, he just is rather strong and not a normal human to say the least ( cmon he has a glowing severed hand to start), Merde is old school, ex army, semi professional boxer, good with his hands etc. Merde is the last of the normal Missions.

Q: How do you stay organized? I mean with all the projects you have going on, the contests, the events, the sales, family, etc…let alone the creative ideas that I’m sure pop in your head…Do you keep lists?..A to do list…A goal list…this is what I’m going to project myself to do this year list…What motivates you?..What drives you?..When the going gets tough, what keeps you keeping on?..What keeps your juices flowing?..Do you ever wish you could work in an organization that you didn’t have to manage, but still had the freedom to do your own thing?..I mean does it ever get difficult to do what you do?..I’m sure it’s challenging otherwise you’d get bored and probably not be doing it?..
A: I’m driven by the need to create, its not a case of wanting, or doing, but NEED. I have worked in companies but I dont play well unless, I have 100% freedom which I believe is a natural state for anyone. I know many love editors, art directors etc, but not me, I see everything on the same level as making a painting, I dont ask for direction or advice on that, why would I ask anywhere else… I want you too have a 100% thing, for better or worse… I also love what I do, to be able to make from war robots, to pascha, is a dream situation, not one I take for granted so I show the respect! I think on an artistic level, I have taken a lot of inspiration from Warhol, or what I believe Warhol did. As in making art not just a picture you can hang, but adding to that, the toys, the books, the comics are all parts of the same picture, the stories I weave with my toys are as important as anything draw or paint, the small bit of text on ads, and packaging etc — its my lifes artistic work, it is just my path.

Q: I was wondering if we might see anything like the XXXmas TQ’s this Christmas coming, or something along those lines ?
A: Maybe, we shall try!

Q: Is there any chance that your comics like WWR, ZvR or Popbot can have a Chinese version released by 3A publishing (or IDW)? I’m sure that fans from China and Taiwan are getting more excited after several successful exhibitions.
A: Well it will take a Chinese publisher to approach us, the translate a comic well take a lot of skill and something we cant do at the moment, I personally would love to see Chinese language versions!

Q: Can you break down a typical day for you. With all of your endeavors and being pulled this way and that, how do you manage your family time? Is your studio where you get most of the work done? Painting, designing, writing? All in the same day? Or do you go there with a single purpose depending on the day?
A: I get up and take care of family and business, simple as that!

Q: Will we ever see figures in WWR, AK, or Popbot representing other ethnicities, like Black, Hispanic, Native American or any other?
A: I think to do it right would require me working with said Hispanic or Native American to get it right etc. I guess its more natural and easy to make figures based on intimate knowledge of ones own culture, or close by surrogate cultures.

Q: I know there has been work being done on The Beautiful War but would you be able to elaborate on how much this new book is going to relate to or tie in with WWR plot, if at all ?
A: Its all new, no relation at all to anything we have done before at 7174, no robots…gah!

Q: Can you please give us some additional information on Ghost Nage, is he a Loper?
A: Ghost Nage isnt a loper, its by product of the Underverse, he kinda looks and becomes a ghost, existing between the present universe and the Underverse. the Mortis have finally moved on from grey TK looking bots, to more devious simulacrum now.

Q: Any chance that Severed Foot from Re-Venture and sold at Levine exhibition of your art, would make it to Bambalandstore one day?
A: You mean Leg, well no, that leg was a one time only affair, I have a couple left to finish painting and thats that, I have a new severed leg, Ill show it soon..and the leg…BOOM BOOM

Q: Since I’ve already got some of your art on my phone as a wallpaper, I wouldn’t mind also having your art on my phone case. It’s not only a good way to please us longtime fans, specially the ones not able to afford/score a print/original but also getting more exposure to gain some new ones. I know you like to do things on your own but have you considered using companies like X (name removed) or similar, who take care of all the logistics for you, you could easily get a couple of designs going asap, I’d buy them all!
A: Ok, ill have Brent Ashe make some and see if we can get them available.

Q: Anything new to tell us on WO3A and when it’s hitting the stores?
A: Working on it, just Brent Ashe and me, soon as we can get it out!

Q: Is Nabler Generation two still coming, how different it will be?
A: Yup soon, the ew year I think, early.

Q: Ash, when I meet you at Comic Con what would you like on your pizza?
A: Peperoni, anchovies and tomato.. ill be waiting.

Ashley Wood about mistake in the listing of VALVe Team Fortress 2 Heavy Robot at Sideshow store:
"Heya Chaps, just a note to point out that sideshow distributors messed up by labeling our Heavy robots on their website as made by Game Heads, they are 3A photos and our product info to be sure. Dunno what happened but thats our toys.. Cmon sideshow fix that listing so your loyal customers know that the TF2 Heavy is made by 3A and is good .

A bit of info about the set:

It’s biggest WWR set yet and the set was offered earlier this year and coming for pre-order a long time (with first photo teased on June 1st 2011) , it’s an insane & crazy set, which will probably only us would bring to life! The set includes FIVE 1/6th scale figures: Dropcloth, Grunt, MK1 & MK2 Squares and 1G Armstrong.
