Vegas Version Cthulu

Ok, so the Cthulu Dudes are built, and I didn't have enough time to do a full set up of the Vegas Version, but I did get a few photos. Sorry for the lack of staging, but look! He's sparkly!

Shiny!

Cthulu's are now available at Cherry Bomb Toys in Victoria, and when we dropped of these Dudes, they still had a few Ticks available! Don't miss out!

Creating a Great Old One

So, as mentioned, the winner of the Favourite Cube Dude vote was Cthulu, so we are making a limited edition run for sale.

Let the Cutting Begin!

Lots and LOTS of cutting = lots of recycling

And once it's cut, be careful not to tear it

And the winner is...

Cthulu! Next Cube available for sale will be Cthulu. This will be a limited edition run, so be sure to watch for when they become available so you don't miss out.

15 Minutes of Fame!

A few weeks back there was Victoria's Ultimate Hobby and Toy Fair. This event is put on twice a year, organized by our all-time favourite store, Cherry Bomb Toys. Somehow, amidst all of the media frenzy advertising the show before April 1st, this little article came about.

Notice the 3 Cube Dude prototypes proudly on display. Awesome!

Saanich News: Friday, March 30, 2012

Needless to say, the Toy Fair was awesome, and we spent over 5 hours (and a lot of money) on some wicked awesome toys. Even managed to score a sweet 1:18 A-Team Van to use as inspiration for an upcoming Cube Dude project (and because, you know, the A-Team rules).

Concepts and Ideas

It all starts with passion. Either a love for a character such as Perry the Platypus generates a desire to build the Dude, or someone else suggests someone with so much adoration and passion that it becomes difficult to say no.

Currently there are two ideas bouncing around for prototype creation. First up is The Rocketeer, as suggested by a friend.

 

Personally I'm excited to see how the jet pack is done, and that helmet is just beautiful. I can't wait to see them Cubed up.

After the Rocketeer, we've got an idea for a single run to donate to a charity auction next fall: The A-team with their van.

All of this while trying to renovate the house and working our day jobs! I'll keep you posted on how progress is going on these two exciting new projects.

Prototypes on Display

If you want to vote on your favourite prototype, but find the pictures just don't do the Dudes justice and can't decide, head on down to Cherry Bomb Toys and ask to see the prototypes in person. They will be on display there.

And while you're there, don't forget to pick up tickets to the Victoria's Ultimate Hobby and Toy Fair being held April 1st. You just might be able to find some Cube Dudes there (and if not there will be bazillions of other great toys to buy).

And the Vote is On

Well, it looks as though Cthulu is off to a head start out of the gate, but there's still lots of time! Just tell us which is your favourite Cube Dude between the Phantom, Cthulu, and Ash by April 15th, and we'll build a limited run of them for sale!

Vote by commenting on the Previous Post and telling me which is your favourite!

Do you need to own Ash? Say so! Think the Phantom is too great to pass up? Tell me! Do you worship Cthulu? Don't be shy! You just might end up with the chance to own your favourite Cube Dude yet!
