Little Axe "Snow Forest" from ESC Toys


We teased you earlier this week HERE, and now all has been revealed for Erick Scarecrow's latest and greatest figure titled Little Axe "Snow Forest" edition. This colorway is limited to 30pcs worldwide and is a Vince Toy Studio & Shop Taiwan exclusive. Each 6" handpainted resin figure is signed, numbered, packed by artist and comes with a lightweight removable axe accessory. This is a great looking figure and the pictures make this piece look deceivingly big, and seeing that it's only 6" tall, the amount of detail smashed into such a small package is amazing, and will be an awesome addition into any collection!

Here is the story:
"Previously, an obnoxious wolf had lost one of his paws by the chop of a little girl's axe. His pride was hurt and he decided to trade some of his valuable fur for a weapon with a local blacksmith. Time had passed and snow blanketed the forest. The wolf practiced with his weapon everyday. One afternoon, the wolf spotted another little girl dressed in white trying to chop wood. Flashbacks of his last encounter with a little girl drove him into a rage. As he leaped aiming to cut her in two, her twin sister dropped from above and beheaded him. A trap set up by the Snow Forest Twins to grow their collection of wolf heads."

So a new picture dropped last night on the latest addition to the Popbot world created by Ashley Wood and produced by his company 3A. Baka the latest TK (Tomorrow King) will be available next week, Sept. 9, at 6 pm pacific time at bambaland. This newest TK figure will come with two swords and many new grenades attached to him as well. The swords are collected to a battery backpack. This figure is priced at $120. There will also be a 3AA version of Baka that will come with a new Bot Head. For those that are not familiar some of the original TK's came with bot heads and have been a fan favorite ever since. This new Bot Head however will be a all new sculpt. This time it is a Mortis Bot Head.

The Mortis in the Popbot world were once sex slave robots that became aware and after many upgrades rose up against humankind to take over the universe. No word yet on what the final look will be for this new Mortis Bot head. The price for the 3AA special edition will be $150 before the 3AA discount. Both figures are in 1:6 scale measuring 12 in. and are fully articulated. As always more news and pictures once they become available.
