custom KRANIX

Kranix
the last survivor of lithone.

I have always loved kranix and his friend arblus from the moment I saw the movie.
(if you do not know who they are they are the guys who have their planet eaten by
unicron and kranix is later fed to the sharkticons) So I decided to make a custom of them.
You guys may have seen my 7” quintesson prosecutor posted on the boards a while ago well
kranix is the next in line (the upcoming quintessons and sharkticons have to have something
to execute:)

Kranix is in the gen 1 scale and is about 6 inches tall (like gen 1 hot rod and kup etc)
kranix is articulated at the neck, shoulders,hips and knees, so you can display him in
multiple ways. Kranix also comes with an alternate head (it is completely removable and
is very easy to swap the two heads over)I made a second head because many people like a
more neutral look on a characters face myself included but I couldn't make kranix without
having his screaming face.(it’s the face he makes right after he says
“spare me this mockery of justice”….and is promptly fed to the sharkticons).

As I said with the quint prosecutor the folks who buy this will have first offer
on the next figure (which is arblus and is a completely different sculpt not a repaint)
these guys are going to be an extremely limited run less than 20 worldwide (less than
the quintessons) and once they are gone that’s it. So if you have any questions or
comments please email me at lots_of_great_toys@yahoo.com and I will answer you right away.
Bye bye

Nice sculpt, but yeah, you really need to resize that photo - it royally screws up the board formatting. There's a reason you had to put all those returns into your text.

Beautiful work! I've toyed with the idea of making this guy myself, but I'm just not there with my scratch building yet.
I love him!

Tom... I've got a question....
Why are you a giant gum-ball machine???

Sorry, I've wondered for a while now :P

Don't be sorry. It's a perfectly normal question for anyone who has never had the pleasure of viewing "Mystery Science Theater 3000."
On the show, Tom Servo is a small robot who was made from spare parts. He, along with his fellow robot, Crow T. Robot and human companion Joel Robinson (or in later seasons Mike Nelson) watch movies of questionable quality and make acerbic remarks to the delight of the viewing audience.
"I'm Huge" is a crack that the Servo on the show will often make when a character in a movie that the crew is watching is shot from an uncomfortably low angle. It has appeared on at least one tee shirt that bore the likeness of Servo.
As for why I appear to be huge, I'm actually not. That's just perspective at work.

XD Nice. Thanks for clearing that up.
So, you're not really called Tom? :P Ok, when I call you Tom from now on I'll use it in reference to your username. 8)

Glad I could clear that up. I'm sure that you're not the only one who's wondered-especially among the European members.
I actually prefer "Servo", but if it's my Earth name you're after, it's Dave.

Cool, I prefer people to call me Justice, or the full 'Justicity', than my Earth name which is ironically Tom, so I'll probably use Servo then for the sake of manners. Thanks for the heads up. See you around.

Kranix is beautiful and near-flawless. I am very amazed.
