A while back, after the recording of one of our Nerd City podcasts, Brandon Barker (the mastermind behind
ManOrMonster? Studios) and I were discussing what we could do that would be a cool exclusive for the upcoming
C2E2.
What we ended up deciding upon was a mash up of two of our most iconic
creations. The concept was to be that, during a battle with General
Gorgax and his Cyborg Space Barbarians, a severely damaged
Galaxxor
crash landed upon Wor. Luckily, the robot body found itself right next
to one of Bog-Nar's tendrils, and regenerated into Galaxxnar: Monster
Fighter Mutant Muck Menace Robo!
Somewhere between a Marvel What
If? and a buddy cop movie, the idea began to take shape. Galaxxnar was
going to be a super powered mashup of a character, who would end up
defending Wor from a new cosmic threat. Galaxxnar was brought to life by
a mind-blowingly cool sculpt by none other than
Charles "Monsterforge" Marsh, with an additional Galaxxor head shield by Brandon, himself.
Galaxxnar features the magnetically interchangeable articulation that
you have come to know and love from ManOrMonster? as well as an extra
tendril and Galaxxor head/shield accessory. When it came to header card
art duties, we called upon the insanely talented
Alexis Ziritt
(also a guest at Nerd City's C2E2 booth this year!). Alexis brought
some seriously krackling cosmic heat with a positively stunning image of
Galaxxnar, doing his proverbial thing. We're also going to offer a
super limited art print of Alexis' header card at the booth this year.
Galaxxnar sports some beautiful hand painting by ManOrMonster? Studios and will
be limited to an edition of 5. You will be able to score your very own
Galaxxnar at Nerd City's booth (#750 in The Block) at C2E2, April
25th-27th for $100 each.
