Next 3A figure: Ro-Jaws?

[Emperor]

Apparently, although I can't find an official source (anyone more in the know on these things got on?):



Via.

Probably stupid wishful thinking but I hope if this is legit, that big hole in the side of his head is for opening/closing those jaws. This is very, very nice although for some reason, doesn't look it fits with the 3A style-wise. Bring it on!

[ming]

It's legit, and Ro-Jaws is next up from 3A.

[We are very excited to announce that the next 2000AD 1/6th figure will RO-JAWS, check out some earlier DEV shots, he will have a opening hatch so you see a lumo of SH.. er waste in it... COMING SOON ![/i]

Forgot to add that the image(s) appeared in this weeks 3A email newsletter (3AVOX).

NICE!!!

[Steve Green]

Lovely, like the rounded squat feel of him - dibs on a photo of him with the Mess on his shovel... (well he does look a bit turdy)

THRAG - " Pfft, I'm not paying that for a doll"
MONGROL: "I'm not paying th... shit that looks good!"
RO-JAWS: "Hnnnnnnng... must resist....."

Probably stupid wishful thinking but I hope if this is legit, that big hole in the side of his head is for opening/closing those jaws.

YES - my thoughts exactly!

[Dandontdare]

THRAG? ahem THARG

That 'modify' button does seem to randomly come and go doesn't it?

I'll keep this thread updated with any bits of info that emerge... Pretty quiet lately, but one comment by Ash:

"arms are articulated, every(thing) that should be is, like mongrol

"

Ro-Jaws looks like he'll be a nice figure, and as one of The Seven, plugs a hole in the ABCs line-up, which now leans towards the Black Hole crew.

Hatch in the front, opening to reveal a turd... Tax Disc... Moving jaws (?)...

Hoping for a pre-Christmas release!

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Who is going to be binned then, as I've always thought of the seven being Hammerstein, Joe, Deadlock, Blackblood, Mongrol, Mek-Quake and Steelhorn/Mess.
I presume there will be no Steelhorn now that we have the Mess!

[Greg M.]

Mind you, if they were doing the Black Hole team, they'd have to have Terri. Now, if they were to do Hitaki from the Talbot-era Nemesis line-up, I'd be shelling out...

[ming]

Yeah, although I have a real soft spot for McCarthy's original Steelhorn (especially the fully painted colour DPS on non-bog paper), I suspect he won't make the cut.

As Ro-Jaws appears to be included, it suggests that we'll lose Happy Shrapnel and may get Mek-Quake... War-droid body (Talbot / Bisley style Torquemurder / Black Hole style) or (gulp) Killdozer.

1/6 Killdozer...

 


As Terri replaced Ro-Jaws (who fittingly replaced The Mess) we could have the Black Hole crew without the meatbag anyway:

Hammerstein
Ro-Jaws
Deadlock
Blackblood
Mek-Quake
Joe Pineapples
...

er...

I've no idea how Ash is going to play this one, but Rufus involved in the designs, so it'll all work out, I'm sure.

[The Enigmatic Dr X]

Lovely model but I always thought Ro-Jaws was a poor ABC Warrior candidate (in the story, I mean).

Odd launch sequence to these: Tharg, Mongrol, Ro-Jaws. All are minor characters. Is this a case of 3A making what they want to - as a labour of love kind of thing?

[Teivion]

I'm surprised no-one has picked up on the last email newsletter sent out by 3A, which had this picture attached. It doesn't look like a typical WWR design.....
