Brian Taylor’s Rustboy is the lead-character in a 3D animation project done on a low-budget in-home basis with amazing results (though sounds like a commercial project might be in the near future!). Brian’s keeping a running diary complete with storyboards of his work on the project at the rustboy.com. Thanks to the innoative Android8, Rustboy is now a lovabe yet quirky vinyl toy. This one stands 7" tall and is limited to 850 pieces. Rustboy is a character that you find yourself staring at only to have those big almost human eyes return your gaze. While its appearance reads as mostly machine, the vaguely human head and features give it just a touch of a cute yet slightly melancholy Frankenstein-ish feel. Need Rust? Acquire him at Android8.
I’ve been a Rustboy fan for years so thanks much for posting this. Excellent piece.
