T.H.U.G.

I will get this one if they make space for a pilot. It violate my rule of not getting involved in more than 3 series, but man, this guy looks good! And your picture is beautiful as always zzzzz

Great image, zzzzz!

comin to retail starting this sat per the intel in latest email news letter.

Awesome news..
Same colorway and all?
I'm guessing that the bambaland version is not an exclusive then.
Cool.

yeah so far as we know it will be same colorway, pics next to the news was same colorway for sure.so correct, not a bamba ex.

i was sleeping when the news its comin down hit or prolly would have just panicked and got one. but im really glad there will be the retail option! hopefully by the time its at retail instock there will be more evenfall story to get me hooked again and make it the must buy it was to me once. i basically renewed to get it via bamba but then once it was there i was on fence due to lack of any story substance, the small bits of intel that made it a must buy had long since lost its wow cool factor.. just need that to get into toys myself, is how i roll. so i was on fence and missed via bamba.

planning to get via retail then?

Yea, I love the look.. A lot actually.
And anything Sci fi and 3a in Orange and white I simply can not resist.
I'm so so so glad that it's coming retail because I've pretty much stopped buying anything anywhere where I have to pay in full, l for something not coming out for months/years later.
When I paid in full for the upcoming Mondo Iron Giant figure only to see it available at retail days later where I didn't have to shell out a cent was the tipping point for me.
I want this guy in a bad way... But I'm just done with pay In full now, get a loooong time later

yeah i agree, same for now as well. the long waits kill it for me, to the point when it arrives im not even the same person that wanted it, lol.
a few months is fine but that boat has sailed long ago. the estimates are a joke. if i PO sumthin via bamba these days i gotta be aware that its gonna be a year in the least.
yet another reason why i hesitated on thug, im iffy now so a year from now? yeah no interest but hoping more story by then will inspire a retail buy when instock.

I loved this bit of info in the newsletter:

T.O.T.E.M. are a select few that are the Earth’s first line of defence. A covert group whose mission is to investigate and eradicate the interstellar horrors that are plaguing the universe.The THUG are their weapon of choice. Remote operated bots capable of taking the enemy head on. PUGILLO likes it rough. Savors every crunch under foot and a nice slow squeeeeeeeze until snap.

yeah me as well very cool! we def knew that already but was a cool to read it all wrapped up nicely in a lil description.

will be perfect for the retail store descriptions.   im sure it will leave many wanting more as it has those in the know for a year or so more now, ha!

Too bad about the change from having a internal pilot..
From the location of the arms to the 2nd set of eyes, it clearly looks like a Bot made to have a internal pilot operator.
Still looks killer though.
Wish it had a BFG..
I can definitely see myself supporting this line. The Thug, is beautiful in its design. It's like nothing I currently have, even from 3a.
I love it. I'd even buy more just for different colorways, I like it that much.

Was the Lookbook put on the blog after the figure was taken down from Bamba?

yeah. was put up after down from bamba and in time for the retail release announcement.

Thanks ill.

After seeing the lookbook I was officially sold...I then went to bamba but THUG was gone...

Seems a bit goofy to put the lookbook up after the sale ends, regardless of it's retail plan.

agreed, was like- whaaaaaa the fuck?

I'm glad this made retail. I'll work on getting the THUG down the road. Too many good drops to pass up.

EVENFALL TOTEM THUG PUGILLO! EVENFALL TOTEM THUG PUGILLO!

Is this the coolest most beautiful release ever by 3A? I mean look at the engineering and the glorious ABS, PVC, and POM construction! HE'S EVEN MY FAVORITE COLOR SCHEME ORANGE AND WHITE!

Did I mention he has LED light up eyes? Gimme light up features! Gimme light up features hooray! IN DARKNESS THERE IS NO CHOICE!

I MEAN THIS GUY JUST TOWERS OVER SIXTH SCALE HUMANS AND HE'S SO BIG AND STRONG AND CUDDLY! I LOVE HIM! If Evenfall TOTEM Thug Pugillo were my dad, things would be different around here.

Evenfall TOTEM Thug Pugillo is confronted by Evenfall Strigoi Totemnaut and says "I'LL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!"

I love these big robot toys 3A is doing now they are so awesome! They just have so much presence on a desk or a shelf y'know? ESPECIALLY EVENFALL TOTEM THUG PUGILLO CAUSE HE'S LIKE SO BULKY! This is the legit badass greatest toy ever from 3A!

Anyone want to have a pose war with Thug and Strigoi in battle mode when everything is in hand?

SDCC 2015:
