Sam Slade is coming on the 30th of April from 3A and closely followed by other retailers in May!

QuoteThe figure is fully articulated and comes with his trademark blaster and computer companion QT attached to his belt. The figure will retail at $50 and this includes worldwide shipping!

Great, great price... But (isn't there always) git to say the colours look jarringly bright. Sort of like 4 colour comics made real. Sam was always grittier in my mind.

Likely there will be a 24hr limited B&W one on 3As own site (like Death).. Will ask and see what they say.
If I'd known it was harmless I would have killed it myself.

Of all the announced figures, I was least excited about Sam - but that is a great, great figure. Really good likeness too!

Like that.

Would a B/W one just be offered to 3A members or just to those who go to the site in the first 24hs?

Don't know if Sam will appreciate getting robotic arms   :o

But, a very nice figure. That likeness is pure Gibson! Colours don't bother me either.

I've asked on their forums if there will be a B/W one. They are pretty good at answering.

The Death B/W was only available for 24hrs but was not 'membership exclusive'. They stated on the old forums (now defunct) that any future variants would NOT be 'membership exclusives'. Although they also stated that there was no guarentee that each figure would have a variant.

I thought the same - that blue cap with the trim looks more majorette than trucker's cap

Not something that normally turns my head but that is nice, very nice.

Unexpected and awesome. Does it come with a Stogie?

From Gregory (the 3A guy leading the 2000ad line):

Those are some early paint test photos, seeing what he and the clothing look like under different lighting. We'll have some much more polished and dynamic photos this weekend. And of course he'll be chomping on Stogie

I looked at a lot of the covers for ideas for the paint scheme, he's either seen in primary colors or drab browns. I love the cover of Prog 263, so the colors are primarily based on that one. We really wanted him to pop and stand out. Some things might change slightly, be a bit more faded, but for the most part this is him.

I'm personally very happy with how he turned out. Getting his face was not an easy task and took a lot of revisions, but I think we really nailed the jaw, the chin, and cheeks. He looks so great in profile view. We recently changed the pants material so that they are a lot tighter too, get him closer to that Ian Gibson silhouette.

No plans for a black & white edition at the moment, but you never know, anything is possible..

Stogie or a stogie?  Seeing as Cutie was gone by the time Stogie came along :-(  In a perfect Robo-world they'd have both been around at the same time though (unless Millar was writing it).

A Robo-Stogie.
So, Stogie.

(Stated on the old defunct forums)

Time I learnt how to make me a Hoagy out of tinfoil, yup.

From Gregory, on my facebook page

QuoteRobo-Hunter is 6inches (15.24cm), in addition to the blaster and Cutie, he'll also come with Stogie. We'll have some more dynamic photos up this weekend.

Pre-order on Bambaland April 30th and at retailers a bit later on. We'll update the blog with all the info once we get the new photos in. Dates might be subject to change
