Skeletron April Advances

Incoming! The Skeletron team has shared their April 2024 update and there’s a lot of fun to sink your teeth into! Check it out below –

Hello Roboskullers,

The Roboskull MKII continues to advance! We’ve received additional test shot revisions, and if you’re a member of our SKELETRON SECRET LAB on Facebook, you likely saw this pic of test shot revisions last week:

The factory has fine-tuned this deadly machine, and multiple components of the MKII are in production!

We are also very pleased to see the high level of detail that has been preserved in the latest round of 6″ test shots. Beautifully sculpted by Fred Aczon, you can see these ‘Boff’ Brechin and Gary ‘Goggles’ heads incorporate additional details that can be appreciated at the larger 1:12 scale:

JOEFEST 2024

Palitoy Legend Bob Brechin is Attending JoeFest!

SKELETRON is over the moon to announce that Palitoy Legend Bob Brechin will be attending JoeFest in June! Bob worked at Palitoy in the UK from 1967 until 1984, and as Chief Designer was responsible for Action Man, Action Force, and so many other iconic toys! Decades later, he joined the SKELETRON design team to develop the soon-to-be-released ROBOSKULL MKII.

Bob also very recently authored “My Palitoy Story” in collaboration with Brian Hickey to celebrate the creativity, ingenuity and vision of the Palitoy Team. Please join us in welcoming Bob, who will be traveling all the way from the UK from Augusta, accompanied by his son, Robert. JoeFest 2024 is going to be a truly unforgettable experience!

Variant Cardback Retro O-ring Skeletron/Wolf Trooper

Making its debut at JoeFest 2024— a special cardback of our Retro Series 2-in-1 Wolf Trooper/Skeletron featuring breathtaking Skeletron artwork by the legendary Douglas Hart, whose iconic style adorned GI Joe packaging in the 1980s and 90s.

This figure is from the same production run as our sold-out Retro Wolf Trooper (also illustrated by Doug Hart), so this variant will appeal to those who missed out, want more, or simply enjoy another carded version with a killer Skeletron cardback design. Can’t make it to the show? Don’t worry! This Skeletron variant will be available online after JoeFest at http://www.SKELETRON.com, shipping worldwide at the same price as our sold-out Retro Wolf Trooper.

We will also have a very limited quantity of the sold-out Retro Wolf Trooper cardback version at the show. Mark your calendars for Joefest, June 21-23 in Augusta! It’s going to be an awesome time!

Thank you all!

We keep inching closer and closer to the Roboskull MKII arriving and needless to say, I, like so many others, are beyond excited!
