RARE BOKO MODEL

If you picked up the Battle Boko Blank at DesignerCon in November, Congrats! That was made with the initial mold with a different helmet and a head that turns. The new mold is much sharper but the head does not turn. If you have the head-turner you have a super limited edition Boko!

BATTLE BOKO HEAD AND TORSO PRINT

Head and Torso print by 3 Coconut Monkey. Lookin' solid!

BATTLE BOKO TEST PRINT

With the 3D model finalized it was time to print it out but I hadn't yet decided on a size. I was thinking 12" was a little small and 15" was a little too big. I asked the ever-helpful Dov Kelemer of Disburst what a good size would be. He informed me to think about scale, not size. Boko is 6'8" so the figure would be 1/6 scale at 13.6". Thanks, Dov!

BATTLE BOKO WEEKS OF TWEAKS

I love that 3 Coconut Monkey cranked out quick revisions!

Within a few weeks we were on our way to a finished 3d Model. After receiving the above model I needed four more tweaks: 1. Lose the nipples 2. Make the crotch smaller 3. Simplify the calves 4. Lose the 'hooves' and make boots more realistic

ROUGH BOKO MODEL

I received the first 3D rough from 3 Coconut Monkey a few days after I sent my artwork in. They asked if they were on the right track and even tho I was thrilled with the rough model I knew I would have to make some tough decisions regarding the direction of the figure. The first thing I noticed was that the squarish blocky trunks were now form-fitting trunks. The rectangular boots that made sense in 2D didn't read as well in 3D. Also the flatness of the hair in 2D would be an issue in 3D. A lot of things would need to be addressed in upcoming weeks but for now I was happy with the powerful body they created for Boko. Next up: Revisions!

BATTLE BOKO BEGINS!

When I exhibited at DesignerCon two years ago, my neighbor was Edgar of 3 Coconut Monkey, a company that manufactures action figures and toys. I saw Edgar at DesignerCon again last year and we talked about working on a project together. I began to tell him what kind of a figure I could probably afford and he stopped me right there. He said, "Forget about money. Don't limit yourself. What figure do you REALLY want to make?" The first thing to pop into my head was Battle Boko, the mighty Berserker King! Edgar and I discussed the project over dinner a few weeks later. A few months after that I sent him the above artwork and we were underway!
