Tomorrow Kings General discussion

Using Photobucket as well, pretty flaky service.

Nice pic, thanks gar.

I have to use a photobucket addon for firefox to view from their site in they are embedded on a forum such as this but the plugin isn't working anymore so that's why I can't see your image posts. Even Chrome extensions to view PB images are not working/updated.
PB a year or so ago changed how their site shares images. I had an account but I haven't used it in years. Much better services out there then theirs.

The crew is looking great Gar

Anyone have a good look at the Ultra TK poster displayed at the recient show 3A was at? Really curious to what it said. Also, any guesses to what ultra TK might look like- WO3A did confirm its 1:6 scale. 2 months left for the year. How crazy fast this one has gone.

What poster are you talking about?  This one:
 


He probably looks like the last robotic arm TK we had.  

What I can decipher/guess from the images I've seen:  

the long line has collapsed
the time lines have ended
the last chance
the ultra tomorrow king

Since nobody started about it, I'll do:

Ultra Tomorrow Kings
April 2019.



I see two characters walking.
One of them with a gun, one with a sword.
Are those the Ultra Tomorrow Kings or just one of them?

Also I see a huge robot.

And a head...



And despite I am not an avid Tomorrow Kings collector this starts to look very interesting.

So maybe the TKs are ultra small as in green army men small? The small figure in the forefront could be a bot?

3A Robot scale never was exact to scale compared to Ashleys art work.
Brambles would have been at least 4"/10cm higher. TK Hunter about 3ft/91cm high or more, etc.
It has to stay more or less affordable and/or displayable.

I was imagining an Ultra TK / 16" robot head the Luxe (R.I.P. 3AA) two pack.
Or maybe a 3 pack, if it turns out to be more than one Ultra TK. Or 2x two packs. Or whatever.

Bothead and tk 2 pack would be great!

Well now we know Yama's last stand is coming in April




I am really looking forward to this release.
Of all Tomorrow Kings released so far, Yama is still my favourite.
Or at least one of my favourites, since there have been a lot of excellent and iconic TK releases in the past 10 years
and, although I don't collect Tomorrow Kings, I managed to get a handful of the almost 130 different variants and colorways.

Not sure if this illustration is still up to date.

So Yama's Last Stand = Ultra Tomorrow Kings since both are slated for April?

Yes. Plus the TK Ultra Tomorrow Exhibition in April

From what I understand 'Ultra' refers to the next chapter in TK story and their evolution

Nice, exciting news

Hope they will stay on the site long enough, to be able to prepare the budget for, at least 2 ...

Good news... I can not wait to see him. I preorder as soon as possible.

Agreed, Very exciting news
Yama is still my favourite TK.
Very curious about the few more part of Ashleys comment.

Jacket looks a bit long but that can be the pose.
I also see Chucks and if I am correct a couple of Katanas on the backpack, but it could be straps as well.

Peppermint Grove had a long coat so could be similar to that one or could also be a duster coat like Cowbot. He is remnding me of Ronin TK. Maybe this is an older looking Yama? Two-toned grayish facial hair?

Peppermint Groves jacket actually is an Oyabun jacket.
No problem with the classic design, I love the Oyabun jackets.
Maybe you're correct about the facial hair and that goatee changed into something more.

It seems that the project of new "Bothead" is clarified ... I asked on Instagram, if the fact that it is in vinyl is less expensive in production than the old versions of Bothead ...




(Back to an old picture of a year ... time flies)

14 inch vinyl bothead? hell yeah!
colourway should work with my dp crew...hopefully sold as single bothead, no interest in a set with a tk,
but we will see...
hollow lightweight bothead would be okay, if it has great weathering and keeps the price down.

Afaik, vinyl is used on the torsos of bigger bots like harold, bertie mk3,caesar, and the limbs are abs plastic?
from the feel, vinyl is softer and has more weight than plastic...(but i could be totally wrong)
like the og squares (vinyl) and ago squares (abs plastic?)

I assume you mean the large 12” Severed Robot Head of the Heavy Duty Loper 3AA LTD Set.
Not the classic OG TK Mortis Robot Head or Slicer TK Kyuuketsuki LW 53 Robot head.
Not sure if vinyl is less expensive. It is less fragile.

It is pretty much the ultimate severed Mortis robot head.
14" or 35 cm high is not just big, in it huge.
Since it looks less complex than both the Heavy Duty Loper Set head and the AK Black Onyx Skull,
I hope it means it will be relatively affordable compared to it's size.

The number 7 is pretty prominent on the yellow/white TK Hunter Váli as well.
Despite the different colors in the latest classic blurry, I wonder if there's a link between both Mortis machines beyond being Mortis machines, etc. or if it is just a number which just happen to look good in a white cirkel.

For reference, I measured Soot Diver. It is 25" tall and about 20" across. 27" front to back from fin to nose.

I deliberately kept that one out.
Nothing beats a 1:1 scale Soot Diver head.
No idea how many were made and sold.

That's it we're talking about huge things, but beware, other era than that of the giant Heads .. many are the fans who have left the ship and, sorry, sold their collection ... maybe we will have this Botheads 14 ".. but let's first see the price.

After long months without (almost) nothing to find on Bamba, and now WO3A, we are announced, a Yama version, another TK, and this bothead ... hoping to sell everything in good quantity.
Personally my budget will not allow me to take everything over a limited period of sales ... please, ThreeA, do not make the same mistakes as before. The old fans, and I hope the new ones, will, I think, be very vigilant.
Wait and see ....
