Feeling blue....
Right up until a box of parts arrived from the Japanese factory! Woo...these were the SOLID GOLD I've been waiting for!
I ordered a limited run of clear red and gold glitter Ion Men and some clears.
Weeeelllll, the red turned out HOT PINK.
It's hotter than hot...it's HOT HOT HOT! I love it! So I threw some together and took some shitty Iphone pics with them:

Taken from the DCON main sight....TAG exclusive ION MEN:
 UNPAINTED BLACK AND WHITE MIXED PARTS and
"BAD TEETH COMICS" UNPAINTED BLUE WITH SILVER SPRAYS
These are bloody AWESOME! I was really happy with the blue and silver, I wish I'd kept some blue/silver caped ones for myself since there are no more blue unpainted parts left....maybe.

Now at Lulubell Toy Bodega - Unpainted Black and extremely limited Unpainted Blue.
They can be bought here: http://www.lulubelltoys.com/products/ion-men-black-asst


and here for Blue: http://www.lulubelltoys.com/collections/frontpage/products/ion-men-blue-asst

There are only 11 blue unpainted in this lot and I won't be doing this colour again (There are, however, some silver spray blue figs coming and blue parts being used for mixed figs in the future.) I think I have one blue and white fig for a giveaway somewhere too. It looks like a Smurf.

So, I'm starting a new toy venture. I'm excited because I've always said "We ONLY do robots." but now I'm going to try a horror toy.
I talked to Velocitron ages back about this idea and I think it'll work....I think people will dig it.
HOWEVER...here's more Ion Men for next year. These have either clear chests and blue bodies or clear bodies and blue chests.
The clear chests will have glowing engines and the blue bodies will have glowing brains.
I'm talking to BAD TEETH in Brisbane and bouncing ideas for the engines.

So months of hard work and irreplaceable photos of custom, prototype toys and factory wax sculpts and moulds have just vanished forever with no explanation why THANKS A FUCKING LOT BLOGGER you piece of shit fuck up.
So here is the two years of photos that I could find that were in over 20 posts ORIGINALLY posted here. (There were 15 posts before this all magically devoid of over 136 photos now.)

So here are the photos I could find. Minus all the insight and explanation, event names, dates and credit.
Fuck.
