Unkle Runaway Video

John Nolan, animatronics designer and director at Streetlight Films UK, whose credits include Where the Wild Things Are, Harry Potter, Clash Of The Titans, Hellboy 2, Warhorse, Brothers Grimm, Dr Who and Being Human, created an incredible UNKLE robot based on Futura’s Pointmen from the Psyence Ficton and Never Never Land albums.


Its splintered synths and a shuddering bass-line create an aggression and energy which Nolan harnessed within the robot’s marching stomp towards the camera.

Nice robot concept-art by designer, Scott Robertson...

Rohby Vs Phu Custom Toy Show

This is a brilliant idea for a toy show. Pitting two amazing custom toy heads (ROHBY & PHU!)against each other in a 'battle' / collaborative show. The results over at MyPlasticHeart look great!







I have blogged about Rohby before and Phu was one of my first ever posts 2,500 posts ago!!
