The gang over at Rotobox does what they do best in the way of yet another fantastic set of custom figures. There’s Logan in his classic X-Men suit as well as his yellow and brown threads from the 80’s. These are quite possibly my favorite pieces they’ve done to date.
If you’d like to own one of these customized figures for yourself, shoot an email over to info@rotoboxvinylanatomica.com.
On Thursday September 19, from 6PM-10PM at Redefine Gallery in Orlando, Mai Hiro will be showing off it’s premiere exhibit, simply titled “The Mai Hiro Galaxy Show.” The show will feature art from Rotobox, Quan, Jure Gavran, Dave “Outtamind” Quiles, Nico, Frank Gavran, Susan Lee and Nakanari. If you’re in the Orlando area, be sure to stop in and say “hi,” as there will be a handful of prizes the Mai Hiro crew will be giving out.

Rotobox Vinyl Anatomica is the intersection of giant robots and custom designer toys. But this team isn’t just about the robots. Their customs are reinterpretations of classic Japanese and American pop culture icons from Gachaman to Ironman. With an incredible amount of attention to detail and extensive use of self-fabricated parts, Rotobox are at the top of the customizing scene.

Yes, that’s a transforming Mega Munny up there. Rotobox’s latest custom is their own take on the Valkyrie ships from Macross. The 1982 anime paved the way for thousands of transforming robots. The series is unique because the robots (and this custom) had three transformation stages - the humanoid Battroid mode, the intermediate Gerwalk mode, and the jet-like Fighter mode. It’s impressive when a super articulated Revoltech figure can transform like a Macross mech, so this custom is especially mind-blowing.
Rotobox are bringing the Shodo magic with their newest custom. Using the Celsius platform, they’ve recreated one of the best bad guys in all of videogames: Akuma from Street Fighter. The one-off project has custom fabricated hair and accessories, and the sparkly paint used for his gi is fiercer than a Raging Demon. Stay tuned for our interview with Rotobox.
Albotip: Akuma is known as Gouki in Japan.

Holy custom vinyl, Batman! Rotobox’s newest work is based on the design from the Dark Knight trilogy. The armor is sleek, especially the bat ears, and that metallic dark grey paint job is ridiculously sexy. You can pick up one of the three editions of the toy right here.

KusoVinyl have returned with the remnants of WonderCon 2013. Among them are some of those shiny gold Luckitty KusoPon toys. $11? Steal. Get one here.
Rotobox have just released two new killer customs. The first is a Celsius version of Spider-Man 2099 which has an awesome metallic blue paint job and fierce arm stabbies. The second is another Qee version of Voltron. At first glance it’s pretty similar to Rotobox’s previous take on Voltron, but check it out and you’ll see some great new details, especially the logo on his lion belly.

Rotobox continue their stunning customization work with this tribute to Combattler Godaikin toy. True to the original, this Qee version combines five pieces to form the full robot. It’s a one-off and has already been sold, but you can still drool at all the photos here.
Albotip: The “V” in “Combattler V” is pronounced like the letter (as opposed to “five”) and stands for “Victory.”

Crap, Rotobox, stop making me want to buy things. The masters of customs continue their machinder tribute series with the Voltes V. The above is the prototype along with a colored mock-up. This one won’t be a one-off so you do have a chance of getting your own 9.5” Roto machinder.
Rotobox, the masters of toy customization, have sent out previews of their newest addition. This Guyver Munny is a one-off and seems to have already been sold. I never thought I’d use the words “cute” and “Guyver” in the same sentence, but…

Rotobox have just released the first of their Super Sentai custom toys. This one’s of Akai Ranger and is limited to three pieces. To quote a South Park episode, “Hey. That looks good. I want that.” But seriously, that thing is glossy. Email info@rotoboxvinylanatomica.com to buy one. The price is a mystery. A very expensive mystery, probably.
This Mazinger Z Qee customized by Rotobox is too cool for school. It’s coming oh-so-close to replacing their Voltron custom as my favorite Qee.
The Celsius custom is Juohmaru from Plawres Sanshiro, a manga from the ’80s about action figures that wrestled. These are actually still available. They’re $340 from Rotobox and are limited to three editions.
