#speclatron

Take a bootleg toy (preferably one taking an existing property and trying out an idea poorly) and remake the design as a legit forgotten toyline

For example I got real bored and took this toy from the MoTU bootleg Speclatron

And being real bored and I produced this design:

And I even came up with a little bio since the original didn’t have individual character info 

“ORION: Rouge Machine Warrior. An artificial warrior empowered by the SPECLATRON particle engine installed in his chest, due to not being naturally imbued with Speclatron Engine he cannot produce his own energy, and must leech off other Speclatron Warriors in order to operate. This drawback feeds into his hunger for power, one he is willing and able to fight to feed.”

Do you know what MotU knock-off action figures were lacking? The twist waist action feature? Ha! Who actually needs that if you’re getting a crazy glitter dome-chest instead?! With real liquid inside! Hell no, it’s not the action feature, it’s the comics that were lacking! Lines like Turly Gang, Troll Fighter, or Goddess of the Ultra Cosmos had amazing background stories. Unfortunately turning them into real comics, or at least mini-comics didn’t seem to be in the budget. Time to make up for that!

After more than a year in the making, @lukaszkowalczuk​ and @toywalker​ of @underworldmuscle​ proudly present KNOCK OFF WARS - the first full length MotU-KOmic book ever made! A homage to the 5.5″ knock-off action figure genre, starring the coolest guys from your dusted KOllection shelves. 

The comic is about a hero called Primor, leader of the Turley Clan, who is going on a journey to find a mystic castle. According to an old legend, the castle holds the key to save his world from total destruction. On his perilous journey the hero is making new friends, who join him in battle against dreadful creatures and monsters. When the fellowship reaches the castle, destiny reveals itself, and nothing is what it seems.

The A5 sized, fully colored, and 36 pages strong comic book will have its release on March 1st. Priced $6.50 plus shipping, and limited to 200 copies just, it’ll be available exclusively through www.underworldmuscle.storenvy.com. Underworld Muscle will also be offering package deals with figures, t-shirts, and stuff. The “Spectaculor” and “Primor” resin action figures will be available exclusively along with the comic.
