Spotted Online – Smash Tokyo Toys’ “Sesimic-Ace” Resin Toy

If you love robots and resin toys then you’ll want to take a look at this thread at the October Toys forum. Great design, as well as some information on the toys’ creation and plans for future toys from Smash Tokyo Toys. I’m not quite sure why the guy behind the toys sounds so defensive about these being resin, or why he generally sounds upset and angry, but the toy design looks fun. And the fact they’ll be blank DIY toys doesn’t bother me at all. I like blanks.

“The ACE is resin (shock-horror). We live by the belief that if it’s a cool design it shouldn’t mean dick what the toy is made of. It’s a pretty basic design and that’s pretty much the way it was intended to be…it’s a spoof…a take on all 70s giant robots, hell, they all look the same don’t they?”

“The reason it’s DIY is because I’m not made of money and couldn’t afford to color this first run…it’s that simple. I’m just an average guy like most of you who decided to start making toys one day and went for it and it worked.”

“Me and Kris want to make toys specifically for people who love goofy-looking robots and who want to bloody well paint them the way THEY want them painted and not in the bizzarre-o colorways that are churned out….and that’s why it’s that weird color, because I didn’t really care what color they made it in the end.”
