I'm peeing in my pants now with excitement since my 3d model came in for my first toy to be uploaded to manufacturers pretty much now.
Here we go. Obviously I don't have the rights to Battle of the Planets so this is a custom built fan figure but I'll be promoting it all over the place. It has not been made by anyone since the 80s and wasn't released outside of Europe so its time we had one of these.
So here he is:

We call him G-Spot.
If you know who he really is then you'll probably want one bad. This will be a DIY fig but is also available in glow-in-the-dark, denim and steel (yes, metal) it is in three sizes 7cm tall, 9 and 13cms.
These will be available for the BIG fans (and those very few with the G-Muggs since he's mugg scale) for a very limited time and at a limited run since no one seems to know who owns the rights to this particular character I'll probably get sued.

The three sizes are basically scaled to the dolls, the custom muggs I've seen, the action figures and the original toy. It isn't a copy of the original toy, nor is he a direct copy of the cartoon character since this model is done on a 3d program we changed his collar and will be changing his antennae.
I love him.
This was an anniversary present for my husband so I don't really want too many people to get one which is why it's going to be ultra exclusive.

G*A*Lbot Studios (Sticking with this name) next toy is "Drunky Martini Munkys" (Little vinyl drunk monkeys packaged in a plastic Martini glass) followed by "Martian Tripods from War of the Worlds" Warhammer scale (can be used to fight pretty much any micro army, originally designed to fight my brothers enormous Star Wars Micro Collection and will look great striding accross Endor and Hoth) We'll also be doing larger scaled tripods but these will be big money and pretty much for the MAD Jeff Wayne fans.
Also, within the next two weeks, watch this space for my original Transformers Base stands which are 3d rendered by a genius russian technofurniture designer-of-the-year and are aimed at all transformer lines from G1 through to Movie figures (won't hold Unicron, base bots or anything with legs over six inches wide though.)

Groucho, need that artist for custom boxes, also need boxes, where do you buy boxes that you can print on and send through the printer then fold?
Irulan, you need to paint one of these for me, any style you want, for me to upload to a few vinyl sites.

Hmmm, Battle of the Planets is one of the very few (maybe the only, if you don't count Speed Racer) Anime cartoons I ever watched, but I don't quite remember him. Regardless, he looks pretty cool. Congrats! :D

this looks pretty cool, Rose. I'd be happy to customize one for you.

He's part of the annoying add-on to Battle of the Planets where they decided there needed to be comic relief with an r2-d2 styled character called 7-ZARK-7 and this was his dog. The dog was heaps more entertaining then the amazingly annoying robot.
This added animation is extremely dodgy and actually consists of about 6 minutes of original footage looped endlessly from week to week until our little growing minds dribbled out.
Bring on the animated violence!
Anyway, I wanted to do some mainstream before doing original vinyl like our martini monkeys which are like a hardcore version of monkeys in a barrel since they'll have genitals, cigs and there'll be a few different types in the martini glass swimming around.

UPDATE
Here's my new base stand. Not for muggs but it's for TFs and pretty much anything else people want to use it for (So yes, i suppose muggs). The autobot logo is coming off and we're rounding out the edges, leaving the logo on leads to litigation. These are essentially for my own collection but the orange teletran-1 version will be available somewhere online soon fairly cheap since I'm sure it will be bootlegged straight away. Can't wait fot that since I'm copyrighting it and will jump straight on it. (my name is on the back)

Helloooo, so do I, its my lifes dream:D How cool will the tripods be? I want a 16" (from top of barrel-body to base of stick legs) version but the cost for one will be US$350 for an unpainted version so I'll skip that I think.
Kinda keen on little metal ones but they are $10.00 per 2mm squared or something crazy (That's for the public to buy not for me to produce.) The problem is the body. The cylindrical body can be made hollow but the outside space is quite large so even small figs in metal would cost about US$25 each.

U-LLA! However, we both know that the chances of anything coming from Mars are about a million to one they say.:)

That is the Italian released toy and there was a single boxed one as well. Mine is the sitting down version and it's much bigger. We used to own one of the boxed ones. These, unfortunately cost a lot of money.
The martini monkeys are a different concept. The first lot come with a martini glass and two monkeys and the rest of the monkeys are sold seperately to fill out the glass. Or at least that's the idea.
I'm kinda keen to make the martian tripod since a LOT of people want these first so the monkeys are a way off.

These are no longer available for sale. They SOLD OUT in three days. I can't wait for our next toy to come up because it's actually going to be an original vinyl toy mecha that looks similar to the FIGMA FEMALE Mech toy.
We scrapped the Martian Tripod since we can't get the license and the Drunken Monkeys have been done before.
Thanks to everyone who offered their praise and support.:D
