"Cryo" the custom FOOMI by Cris Rose


Just posted up yesterday was the amazing custom "FOOMI" by the great, and talented folks over at 64Colors... now comes word today that UK based artist Cris Rose had a crack at one of these figures as well... and above is the result! First off... I may have to openly admit it now... I am really digging this figure as a platform, based off strictly what I have seen, and Cris totally destroyed this piece with a custom he is calling "Cryo". The colors and execution on this piece are truly stellar, I love the use of the tubing/textures, and look at that little tail :-) This piece not only comes fully customized, but it also comes with a really fun backstory (see below)! According to Cris this, along with others that we have seen, are for an upcoming KR Munnyworld show... no official announcement yet. Great job man!

The backstory of "Cryo":
"Cryo's immense speed was second only to the amount of heat generated at full throttle. An attempt to break the robot land-speed record, development was continually hampered by his irritating habit of melting just before Mach 5. More internal cooling was required than there was space for. In a last ditch attempt to salvage the project, huge tubes filled with circulating cryogenic fluids near absolute zero were installed and left free to blow in the wind."

"Expecting the radical cooling solution to simply tear away, there was immense surprise when the super-sonic shockwaves generated a protective wake around the robot the faster it went. Cryo completed 4 top-speed runs in quick succession, smashing the previous record by miles and hardly melting at all."
