WWR General Toy Discussion

I'm curious what Von Nom will look like. A Martian grunt is long overdue. I'm not holding my breath on any of these though. I'm still waiting for the WWR supersets and the Jungler Armstrong.

A little off topic, but does anyone happen to have some high res images of the JEA 80 and Yumiko Division logos? I'm making some stencils for a custom and have been having a hard time finding a font that matches those. Especially the Yumiko Division logo.

Slugger? As in Martian Laser Slogger?

That picture is from Finland! The photo set, where that picture is from, is amazing. Hadn't seen those photos before.

I haven't seen shoulder helmets in the artwork so I assume it is a Bertie Mk2 instead of an Alberto.

What does 'Von' mean?

German word , sounds like (FON) - means - of or from

From de Plume

I think it refers more to this:

"When it is used as a part of a German family name, von is usually a nobiliary particle and indicates a noble father's lineage."

Yeah, theatlantic.com, that's where I got the image from. All of those pics are pretty awesome.

New Squares coming?

I like this design much more than the tri legged ones, and these will surely
look cool with Harold on the shelf...

never cared much for the MK2 or EVOL squares, but these guys make sense to me, can't wait.

Treads look like they would work. With the Harold precedent, they should.

Please no LED eyes on this one! Keep it simple and affordable.

Simple, affordable and available to all. We don't all live in Asia.

A prototype Square perhaps? Seems like a major downgrade if they're intended to come after the 4Squares. I like it though

This is pretty early stages, but the coolest part is the way it's been designed is all the treads work

That is really awesome I was going to ponder if the tracks were going to be able to move. Really hoping for a Digi colorway or maybe something along with the older colorways

The tracks may be beneficial in certain terrain. If they work anything like the ones on the Harolds, I'll be impressed.

Man, these ABS Squares just don't even come close to comparing with those classic vinyl dented and scratched up OGs.
Sorry,... still loving on the design, but something got lost in the transition for me.....

Hmm, OG Squares, paintlockheaven and gummy vinyl legs.
Love them.

^YES! Those stubby gummy legs. The minute you crack that paint,.... glory.

^ Or not.

I know the glories feeling but my Deep Powder still has a locked leg.

I had a dp mk1 with a seized leg, was afraid to try and move it for years. One day I just said fuck it, twisted that leg and set it free. Really thought the thing was going to break off though...

I finally bought a 1/6 MK1 Deep Powder square, it's in transit, should receive it in January.

I hope it doesn't have paint lock... My newer MK1's (Final square pack, MIM) have had easily fixes paint lock, just wiggle the leg slowly while applying gentle pressure to the hip.

Are OG MK1's harder to loosen, as in... does time make the paint lock worse?

Hi pez, pretty sure it's just a case by case thing as the paint jobs on the OGs were even more individualistic and varied than anything we see now.
Good call on the purchase though. Love the DP/Snowballer/Frosty crew!
