Hatched on Planet R-bit (officially Planet R.ib.bit, third planet on the left from Xerbix 319) Kricky The Alien Frog is one of one zillion-gajillion frogs hatched at the Frogatorium Emporium.
One day, a war broke out when a strange metallic beast with a broken heart landed on Planet R-bit, but Kricky had a sneaky suspicion this Broken Heart Robot wasn't a threat to his planet, so he hopped aboard the robot's ship (more like stowed-away!) and traveled thru two whole solar systems before they crash landed on a tiny little planet known as Earth!

Sneak Peak of the Master Mold
The manufacturer of Kricky, ThreeZero, have just sent me a little video of the master mold. This showcases how the head comes off and fits either frontwards or backwards.
From this master mold, the production mold will be made and then the first vinyl sample. If we get this sample in time, it may be shown at the San Diego Comic Con this year!

... and this is the Wax Pattern made from the sculpt.
From this Wax Pattern, the master mold will be made. / Link
Officially In Production
It's been a long time coming, but I am happy to announce that Kricky is officially in production! Over the next couple of weeks and months we will be posting photos of the manufacturing process to whet your appetite.
This initial run will be a very limited edition run of less than 500 pieces and will consist of the Original Green Kricky and another secret colorway (to be revealed just before launch.) If it does well, we will be creating an additional 4 (at least) colorways as part of the Series One collection. Stay tuned here for updated information! / Link
New Colorway Tests
It looks like Kricky is finally nearing production after a long string of set-backs and personal/family tragedies. But we're back in talks with the manufacturer, refining the prototype and coming up with new colorways! These colorways will be considered for the Series One version of Kricky. If Series One does well, then Series Two will have some special guest surprises! / Link
