dark days and brilliant nights.

dump the pitchers of beer. put down your jager bombs. pour out the 40 for a fallen homie...

ashley wood - "NW/DW are the fine wine of 3A..."

let's class this joint up. put a little nightwatch and daywatch on the table. the oft misunderstood warriors aren't just generic bots...

ashley wood - "NW and DW do exude a classy more elitist feel, and that's what they are supposed to do, presidential guard, parades, etc, they don't see action on dirty battlegrounds."

the clouds began to part, but 86 new there would still be rain...

separated from his detachment, his deep six programming

ensured this snow would soon blossom with red.

from the killer collection of tigerfeet.

private school bots always know how to party.

i must say, their effect does multiply quite substantially once they have serious numbers. tigerfeet's collection completely stopped me in my tracks. for any of you on the fence about the glossy sheen of the nw/dw crew, give it a minute, like all of 3A these guys will have you by the throat before you know what hit you.

building an army.

no big deal. just some mind blowing preview shots of the army assembling in beijing. event explained here. i'm really quite surprised the chinese have allowed such a formidable opponent to set up shop right in the heart of their country. it must be the squares... they have no idea how dangerous the little fuckers can be.

1:1 squares

yeah, you gotta watch em.

this one tried to bite my nut off yesterday...

that little tooth isn't so little when it's buried in your thigh.

1:1 large martin weapon of choice.

oh, i didn't mention that?...

IT'S FOR FUCKING SALE.

yeah. i know. crazy right?

3A is on the verge of going supernova, with ash as the most brilliant mad toy scientist the world has seen yet. this is epic stuff they're doing. for the first time since i was 7 (or maybe the first time i saw the internet), there's something that feels truly big. something far beyond normal parameters. something to get really fucking excited about. i am in awe again, and it feels fantastic. i'm just happy to be along for the ride.

the mother lode.

holy balsagna. there's a storm brewing in beijing and it's looking to do some damage. 3A is slowly releasing info about their next art event on june 25th... it's going to be like christmas in july... um, in june.

toys! art! some sort of live music! probably beer! i'm supremely sad that i won't be able to partake in all the legendary festivities. tickets to china tend to not be cheap. but i can live vicariously through the rest of the legion. that's healthy right? at least financially.

i think she's ready...

there will be work from these 5 badasses and badassette.

[jem's will be in the form of prints, not ogs]

ash. phil. kenny. rufus. dorophy. jeremy.

[these are just examples. we don't know yet what they'll show in beijing]

[kenny wong copperhead image courtesy of Nykhö]

there will be toys.

[understatement of the year]

all of the below will be available in some quantities.

click to enlarge.

[photoshop compilation by me]

but wait, there's more...

remember when i dropped the megaton bomb about 1:1 squares?

which by the way will be making their debut at this show.

this is better.

a 12 foot tall metal large martin [nearly 1:1]

weighing in at 1900 pounds of fuck you.

...head explodes.

/rechecks prices of tickets to beijing...

head explodes again.

i am just in awe. i'm also filling with a combination of sadness and jealousy. i think it's called whyohwhycan'tigetmydumbasstobeijing. amazing artists, amazing toys and a small army of life size robots will be dancing through my head for the next two months. if you are cool enough to make the trek, make sure you check in here to talk to all the other cool people in the cool club. i'll be sitting here anxiously waiting for pictures.

and as always, the best place for more news about this mecca of awesome is the blog or gimby's news.

images for the toy release compilation were blatantly stolen from:

expathos, dedguy, dedguy and dedguy one more time. and also 3A.

it's gonna be a massacre.

friday is fast approaching and bambaland is getting more insane by the minute. an entire battalion of wwrp large martins are set to be deployed. because of the crazy number of packs that will be available, i decided to give you a visual breakdown so your heads don't explode. it's simple, kinda.

for $130 you can pick yourself up a trio of 1/12 wonders. each of the three packs consist of a large martin, a damn large martin [two guns] and an rpg bramble [fucking rocket launcher!]

never content to rest, ash has added several new paint styles to the growing list: dam buster, phobos, norge, pink dazzle, mod chip [pirate] and grave digger [special ops].

as always, click on any image to make it big.

blank figures are placeholders until we see the real deal.

but that's not all! for a limited time, you can pick yourself up a 3x3 pack consisting of everything you see above for $350. that's everything in pack 1, everything in pack 2 and everything in pack 3... lucky purchasers of the mega set will receive... for free, i repeat for free, a wwrp blanc de plume! that's three large martins, three damn large martins, three rpg brambles, one of which in sexy pink dazzle AND a free blanc de plume. that's at least 13 guns a blazing! fingers on your paypal buttons, quantities are limited. operators are not standing by.

1/6 blanc de plume shot from cris rose

free. like a bullet in the head.

and that's. not. all. i don't know how they keep doing it, but my jaw is on the floor. there are also two more ridiculously awesome squadron packs. all the troops in matching colors ready for some serious shit. no word on price yet, but with random drops and no word on quantities, you'll be lucky to see these teams sitting in your cart. [they will go fast]

frosty choad corp

both martin flavors, rpg bramble, square, bertie with shotgun...

and ice in their hydraulic veins.

the big reds

single and double barrel martin, rpg bramble, square, and sabre bertie [sword?] with a healthy dose of communism for good measure.

and the one other tease we've seen is a retail only colorway. auspublic region def. i'm sure he won't be alone. for reference, all the larges in the above packs will not be available anywhere else.

so if you've had your fancy tickled, you know where to find them.

if you're lucky enough to be 3AA, there will also be a nightwatch/daywatch/diy large martin pack.

for the record. i created all the compilation images above using bits and pieces from the official blog. so for the 100% real word, go there.

large. heavy. and hardcore.

i can't and don't and won't blog every one of ashley wood's new releases. despite the fact that every single one is worth my time and effort. i would have to give up all other coverage to really take you into his world. and you'll get sucked in all on your own, you don't need my help for that. in less than a year and a half threeA has released: 4 berties, les mort, 5 de plumes, 4 brambles, 10 tomorrow kings, 6 large martins, 10 wwrp brambles, 4 bambabosses, 13 squares, 3 armstrongs and 3 zombies. with more releases scheduled every month. insanity. they are just completely dominating. the latest death dealer to drop was desert large martin. in my opinion the best lm yet... a giant hardcore skull tattooed to his chest and a bitchin sandy paint job make him straight lethal.

if he smiles, you're dead.

and if you regain consciousness and this is the first thing you see? your muffled screams will shortly be silenced. there's nothing large likes more than popping skulls like grapes.

heavy tk

droppin in next week.

thook. thook. the twins are here.

don't bother running. they don't need the practice.

hk venture is going to rule.

5 men and their creations on display for a week in hong kong.

what i wouldn't give to see some of ash and jeremy's work up close.

and exclusive toys? from that list can only mean good things.

i'm crossing my fingers for a peek at the cosmonaut who will be mine.

sea monkey x snow pea, the ash and kenny wong combo is also a possibility. or the mechs from united planet.

if you don't know kenny wong. he makes sweet things like this.

copperhead-18. no stranger to the deep.

and a little taste of the cosmonaut. which i covered.

keep it glued here for updates on all the amazing shit threeA is doing.

huffing vinyl.

field trip!

so the reason you got no posts for a week was because i was in chicago earning dollars. with the 5% of my time that i wasn't working,

i went to rotofugi. and it was awesome. met kirby and whitney. experienced a dunny trading party. saw a deer head being traded for some baseman vinyl. yes, a real deer head. and peeped their massive in-store selection. so here's my book report.

the neverending line of dunny addicts.

piles of colorful goodness.

polar bears fuckin rock y'all.

two large martin war machines and a peacemaker.

they kinda cancel each other out.

chickens away!

just a badass bronze army man storming the bastille.

blind box attack mode.

eye patches. popular with crappy cats and bitchin lincolns.

jealous.

coarse v. akira motorcycle.

two faithful guardians.

my six-faced nut-kickin souvenir.

the lesson for the day is go to chicago. not only for hotdogs and pizza, but for toys! and rotofugi is the place to buy those toys. visit them and they will take care of you.
