ROBOX from 1000toys is now on pre-order!

 

1000toys is happy to announce our new transformable robot series ROBOX in collaboration with Kim Jung-Gi

This figure is based on an original design by the world famous Korean artist Kim Jung-Gi whose style of hyper realistic illustrations without the aid of photographic references has attracted the attention of millions over the last few years.

Videos of his live drawing sessions on YouTube have over two million views and he is considered by many one of the greatest illustrators of our time.
Pre-order for ROBOX BASIC is now open!

 

ROBOX is based on an original drawing by Kim, the design is a futuristic robot that can transform from a box shape to a humanoid shape.

1000toys brings Kim’s incredible creative vision to life as a fully transformable 1/12 scale action toy!

ROBOX in action-ready humanoid form.

The rugged design fits perfectly with green color of the material.

 

Details from the original illustration including the camera on the head unit and cylinders on the chest have been faithfully recreated.

 

 

ROBOX will be 140mm (5.5 inches) in humanoid mode, with a weathered finish and

graphic markings on the body to complete the realistic feel

 

The shield can be mounted on either arm.

The guns mounted on both legs can be taken off and held in the hands or stored on the inner side of the shield.

 

The guns can also be attached to various mounting points on the body.

 

Legs,feet and waist are all articulated, with a high range of motion allowing for ROBOX to be posed in many styles.
