Dealing with Failure

Orbit Zenith Man flopped.  Will I finally learn that presentation is everything on the internet?  That packaging is important?  That when I say I'm doing an Uzay Blue Stars homage, it should look like Uzay Blue Stars? Maybe!

The OZM exit the store, their return TBD.

In the meantime, there are many irons in the fire at Orbit HQ!  Several commissions are in various stages of completion, I've got a whole pile of sofubi I want to paint, some huge Glyos customs on the workbench, and the Secret Project moves on to phase 2!  Hopefully you will be hearing more about that one very soon now.

Stay tuned for more transmissions from out broken satellite.

Ode to Uzay

Orbit Zenith Man is an homage to one of the most sought-after Star Wars toy bootlegs of all time, the infamous Turkish Uzay Blue Stars.

Why Hasbro hasn't done their own homage, I don't know.  Why Hasbro hasn't simply churned out oddly-colored Clones and Stormtroopers, I don't know either.  I'd buy tons!  But, they did the DIY crowd a huge favor by releasing 12" limited articulation clone troopers.  A neat, durable toy for kids, and a fun plaything for painters!

Of course I intended the first run of Orbit Zenith Men to be solid blue, with a white weapon, but being the amazing planner that I am, I ran out solid blue.  Hence, Edition One is all metallic colors, since I have plenty of those.  I'll do a more traditional solid scheme next if these sell through.

The metallic looks incredible though, I can't help but gawk at them on my shelf.

Everything is still on track for release tomorrow!
