02.04.2009Ashley Wood commenting about WWR bots Large Martin and Rothchild LUNAR SECURITY " ARMSTRONG " , weapon size:
"Armstrong has a big gun 17"
Large has a big gun , ill measure it "phwoor" "03.04.2009Let's try all to stay on topic in the forum threads, as close we can get to it. For fun, there is stuff section. We (ennui, eseffinga, Gimbat, Sir Dirty Girty) as moderators, will be very strict about topics. So everybody is warned, no hard feelings.
Ashley Wood about on topic mode on:
"topics from now on, as the 3A website is still in gestation this forum is front line info for us, and these threads are important to discuss our shit.
Im ok with dallying here and there in the threads but lets stay as close to topic for ol uncle ash."Ashley Wood about first 3A posters and prints:
"but prints would be 300 $$$ +, then everyone would stress over money.
to be honest, these posters are as good as prints, coz nothing comes close to originals, so enjoy the much cheaper option.
original paintings own EVERYTHING..."To remind you, first 3A poster is available for sale at
www.bambalandstore.com , for 25$, Size 16"x40", thick paper, matt varnish and the price includes shipping via standard mail, sent rolled in tube.
As you see for sale and trade section is erased. It was done, by moderators, because of the Ashley Wood request, for sale and trade section is gone. 3A official board is not a flea market and let's keep it clean from now on.

Ashley Wood speaking about Large Martin:
"I think you will dig him, a clue to a final colorway.. PANDA " There will be three paint variants of Large Martin: Panda, Big Red and Deep Powder. All will be available for sale and no chase figures this time.
Small hint, about future WWRP releases:
Bertie mk2, Large martin, armstrong, Bramble Heavy gunner and lots moreAshley Wood, about prices, if you buy all three variants of Large Martin:
"threeApack...shit I dunno, if you by 3 you will get a big ass discount...ill ponder that and let you know"Small hints about variants and their looks:
"Iron Panda is cool
Big Red is cool rocking some CCCP !
Deep powder is like DP v.2 !"About the Panda hint, I'm starting thinking, that it's could be not B&W variant, but Republic of China colorway, as Big Red is USSR variant.
04.04.2009About WWRP Bramble Heavy gunner:
"heavy gunner bramble has not been seen, not a simple swap out, more a re-fit"Bits of info about Large Martin three pack and it's amount: Certain amount of three packs, would be allocated at bambalandstore. As for the Large Martin three pack quantity, for now info states that it's going to match what would be ordered in specific period of time.

07.04.2009Ashley Wood speaking about shipping price of WWRP figures:
"shipping will be what the post office charges for a single fig, as you know we cant change that cost...
45 for the fig, im guessing standard post will run 10-15. but thats a guess so pay no head.
like the original plan we had, we want you to buy them off a shelf in a local store. to get their might take a bit, but at least you will have rare and exclusive bambaland designs from the early pre-wholesale days in the meantime.."Last of de Plumes, unless 3A, five years anniversary de Plume set will be made...doesn't come with the t-shirt, like Nom&Noir were. But it doesn't make him less of a great figure.
WWR Accessory Pack is in the works, and it's coming to us soon! Stay tuned, as always for more relevant dates.

Previous images are without decals and this one with decals:
Same photos are available at Ashley Wood's
blog. Ashley Wood about variants:
"thats cool boys, these are not gonna be in large numbers anyway, painting a large bot like this takes time, and if we want to drop in may we got to draw the line.
Deep powder will be half the run of panda and red.."Ashley Wood about Large Martin at the field and ammo pouches:
"he lugs different stuff for the platoon he is with, ammo, stores, etc. He doesnt do nuthin but fire da gun, and knock shit down with his stumps.
also, no robot really uses their pouches, the humes that run with them pretty much manage them. "10.04.2009Our first boardie just got Aki&Kiba figures!
Click
here for photos.
Ashley Wood explaining about Large Martin's pouches:
"they carry heavy shit or their ammo etc. or they dont, they dont always have pouches etc..
if you see a tank with stuff strapped to it, you dont think how does the tank use it, this the same situation. "Well don't know about you, but I love how he looks with them.
If anyone is interested how many TK's Aki&Kiba were made, the answer is 150 pcs of each.
11.04.2009As you all know TK's Aki&Kiba are being shipped out right now. Only thing that slows the process is Easter. In the TK's boxes can be found this editions chase figure Interloper with the print (20 pcs were made) or Blanc de Plume sketches (quantity of sketches to be determined). One sketch is already found in Japan! To remind you - sketch guarantee you - Blanc de Plume!
Ashley Wood speaking about of the upcoming WWR bots, the bot with thrusters - ROTHCHILD LUNAR SECURITY " ARMSTRONG":
"Armstrong is as cool as large martin etc..I not going to release some out style sub-standard bot !!!"
"no, they are too different to compare, they have unique coolness.
but any robot with thrusters is a winner !"
"I think armstrong is the direct influence of the original Space Lego.. which friends, I FUCKING LOVED !!!!!!!!!! "
" holds it, HE HAS HANDS, YOU HAND NAZI'S can chill now, HE HAS HANDS.. "Picture of Armstrong's big
dick gun:
First WWRP and 3AA exclusive Desert Bramble is being shipped out too. Eastern is slowing the things, but we will see him soon at our doors.
According to Ashley Wood, there is a possibility that there MIGHT be a booklet in Large Martin's box.
Sneak picture of WWR Grunts' head:

11.04.2009A lot of previous news for this date and pictures are above.
WWRP 3AA exclusive Desert Bramble in the making. I always love those pictures.
If you already got Aki&Kiba please share their photos
here. 12.04.2009Got the word from Ashley Wood about TK's club and WWR grunt club. They are happening, they are in tentative mode now, a lot has to be worked out. But definitely not joke.
Ashley Wood expressing his opinion about TK's club. So I suggest to relax with the lists:
"if we do any more TK's they will have new hair and expressions, and if we go ahead with this, it will near the end of this year, early next year before they surface etc..
We have many new figs to do first, so relax, OYA's ship real soon and for now thats it !" 13.04.2009Ashley Wood speaking about TK's club, terms, lists and sign up:
"here's another point guys
50 is the minimum to do it, if 2000 people want to join they can !
To break even on these figs we always have a 50 figure threshold etc.
Of course we want to make more..."
"even if we started today it would not happen for months.. a breakdown for ya, if we really hunkered down.
Design the heads and hair. 1-2 weeks minimum for 12 heads, probably longer.
t-shirt and clothing design 2-3 weeks
sculpt the heads and hair, fitting them in a already super tight schedule with changes and tweaks 8-12 weeks, coz we have to make a lot of the heads at once to make it monthly and on time.
designs and sculpts for new weapons and add-ons etc 4-6 weeks.
Molds for injection and vinyl, 4 - 6weeks
packaging art - GAH !
you see it gonna take time..so everyone start saving !"New WWR art at Ashley Wood's
blog. 14.04.2009Ashley Wood about TK's Aki&Kiba chase Interloper:
"if someone has not posted any FORUM interloper shots today, ill post some....
we have a couple to give as prizes over time too, without sketches and what-knot.. He turned out cool, it was a spur of the moment thing, had the idea, emailed Kim the ideas.. and bang there he was !
interloping and shit !"Ashley Wood speaking about long anticipated 3A zombies:
"same body lads, we want to keep the cost down on him for us and you, hands and head are rocking the zomb juice...
It looks cool, the head sculpt took many many many hours, and was difficult to get the "wood" feel, but it delivers in spades. I dislike the realistic gore fest zombie figures, I see no art there, my zombie isnt about that..
for now there will only be the single release, see how he goes.. "You probably know about Men from N.O.M set project. There will two figures, who represent Ashley Wood and Kim (threezero).
Ashley Wood mentioned something about possible N.O.M uver overlord. I don't want the pictures or anything, I'm buying! Ash had me at N.O.M
Here is the quote for ya:
"I have started designing the N.O.M uber overlord... we have to take orders from someone !"And

15.04.2009Better dead, than red? Not the case of Big Red - Large Martin variant!
Ashley about the paintjob:
"I dunno what imageshack does to the image, but the red is waaaay off.its darker and richer.... sme with the yellow ! a richer darker red, kinda glossy."
