INCUBOT (USB Nekobots, Nekosaur vinyl, Nekosaur die-cast)

any ballpark on final price for this guy?

 

It's on the first page.

 

Pardon my ignorance, but I just want to get this straight for future reference...

So...Gargamel just sculpted the piece, but *their* involvement essentially ended at that point? Sure, they're being shot in the same factory Gargamel uses, using the same vinyl Gargamel uses...but it's not like it's their factory (or vinyl stock) that they own. Is that accurate?

Or, is Gargamel also brokering the transaction between Incubot and the factory? If so, that's cool, but it still seems to be primarily an Incubot joint, rather than a Gargamel one...

 

If this was a Gargamel toy, or a co-production between Gargamel and Incubot, there would be a "G" on the foot. They helped out, but it's not their toy, it's Incubot's.

 

Maybe this is looking a bit too far ahead, but who do you talk to to have a die-cast figure made? The proto pics of the Neko-chogo look fantastic.

 

The verdict is in...

NEKOBOTS KICK ASS!

It's worth going just to meet luminary Matt Alt. Tell him J.F. Sebastian sent you.

 

The guy who did the theme to "Welcome Back, Kotter"?

 

faaaaak....totally need this...

 

Yeah, it looks great, very Astro Mu 5-ish.

 

Amazing work by Dead Presidents:

For those (like myself!) too lazy to click:


I don't get it: so it's not a standardized handpaint run? They're ALL one-offs??

Well, my faith in getting one of these is getting a tad shaky...but we'll see. Just have to keep my eyes open...

 

^ Amazing picture !

 

I want the one in the back right corner... these are all fantastic!

 

holy crap those bots rock...!!!

 

From SF51 I take it? Any left?

 

So who got theirs?

 

Now I really wish I got the Walker custom on the top right, but I super couldn't have afforded it...

 

Nice stuff! But gotta ask: Why is it all the cool looking USB drives have such crappy capacity. 4GB drives can be had for $10 retail. Or did I just answer my own question since 2GB drives are like $5-$7 each.

 

I gotta agree...I've had a 16GB thumb drive that cost me $30 a couple years ago...so a capacity of 2GB is a little disappointing for these guys. Still...the thumb drive is a useless lump in my pocket 95% of the time. The Nekobot is a pocketful of awesome 100% of the time!

Seriously, it being a USB stick comes in handy, even if the 2GB capacity is a little limiting...but really, the fact that it's potentially useful at all is just an excuse to keep one in my pocket at all times! I just love playing with the fucker...on the train...waiting in line...whatever!

 

True. Perfect place to hide your porn.
