GALACTIC STAR EATER of Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

I got a new figure in the works, from Unbox Industries. Today they posted an image of the digital rendering, so I'm sharing it here.

He will be a rather large figure, made in Hong Kong, probably about 9 inches tall. Unbox very generously spent a ton of extra time on the digital rendering, to include anatomical details that can be exposed and viewed.

As far as the creature itself, in Greasebat world, giant monsters have been somewhat domesticated and put to military and industrial use. This guys natural heavy armor and strength make him well suited for deep space mining operations. A few modifications to his mouth ( rock crushing metal jaws) and breathing apparatus = instant deep space digger.

Unfortunately, this particular one ( number 5 ) escaped when his transport crashed, and has been on a violent rampage since.

so rad!

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

I can wait to see the rest of the figure!!!

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

This looks great so far!

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

Digging the story behind this thing. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Yet again Unbox makes another incredible toy.

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )



Thanks my friends. It'll look something like this image. I'm not sure of the details yet, like how the removable skin works or if the internal organs are 3 dimensional. I've seen the digital renderings from my sketches, and it appears that the internal organs are separate chunks of vinyl. We shall see!

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

This would be awesome as a patch!

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

Because it says not to put on my genitals, that's exactly what I'm going to do

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

Wouldnt you have done that anyways?

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

Haha! My friend use to have little official looking stickers that said "do not place in mouth or rectum" and he'd stick them on things at the grocery store etc. Always cracked us up.

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

I can't wait to see what Unbox does with the removable skin, sounds amazing. I hope it is a vinyl version of 80's toys with break away damage.

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

Looking good!!
Its going to tower of the rest of the crew!!

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

changed his name to GALACTIC STAR EATER , or just Star Eater for short.

Should be appearing soon! Clear/removable skin idea was too expensive to produce, so there will be a regular version and a anatomy cutaway version.

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

Nice! Loving the detail on this guy.

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

Really liking this. Unbox really does high quality stuff too.

Looks like an elongated neck is trending.

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

perfect, cant wait

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )






A couple more production sketches... along with the back story...

A mutated monster, about 8 stories tall, who's been captured and cloned for deep space mining operations.

Modified breathing apparatus and other life support devices for extremes of far away planets, including an accelerated circulatory system.

Powered jaw for ripping through veins of rock. Pincer claw for anchoring to meteorites. Chest light for illuminating deep inside tunnels or the dark side of planets.
His head was covered in a series of spikes, which have since worn flat from mining operations.

This one, known as Galactic Star Eater of Space Mining Division 5 (S M D 5) escaped when a transport containing 4 others crashed. He's no longer under the control of his Space Mining Division masters.

Coming soon-ish from UNBOX !

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

i love your sketches

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

Thank you! Drawing comes easy when the idea is raging in your head, other times, not so much.

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

HEHEHE i can see !! my Studio has 3 of your silk prints and look fantastic ( need more prints from you ) , every time i need to get inspired i can look on them and see all simple made and same time lot of details and well done with everything on that pieces ( as you said , good idea as main point make things easier )


Greetings from Mexico buddy !

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

Wow this toy is going to look amazing!

Nice instructions of the sketches

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

"like a unused condom"

 

Re: Space Mining Division 5 ( SMD 5 )

This is going to be great!

Wax prototype on his way to the metal mold making process ! He has a special surprise....

 

here's a side view...the gold paint was just to show detail...this wax figure will soon be destroyed !
