Mechtorians ‘Lucky Draw’ Variants – Verdigris

MINDstyle’s intricate Mechtorians figures created by the incomprable Doktor A dropped earlier this week featuring six characters:  DJ Gramo (Entertainer), Stephen LePodd (explorer), Scuttler the Butler (Domestic) Mr. Head (Philosopher), Sentry Wheel (City Gate Guard) and Sir Shilling Copperpenny (Bank Manager).   Now that the figures have dropped, attention has turned to special editions – chase, exclusives and variants.

We’re happy to reveal the special Verdigris figures that will be sent to collectors who find a “Lucky Draw” card randomly packed into the Mechtorians Series 1 Figures.  Each card can be returned for a single Mechtorians Verdigris figure (randomly chossen).  Quite a bit of frenzy and speculation has arisen about the Lucky Draw cards.  The lowdown is that these cards can basically be thought of as S1’s chase figures.

The beautiful Verdigris editions named after the green patina formed on weathered brass, copper or bronze are hand-painted – no two are exactly the same.  In our opinon, this novel edition concept looks great – an instant classic.

While the Lucky Draw is a fun element to the Mechtorians release, it’s not the only way to collect the Verdigris editions.  MINDstyle will be offering  full sets of all six Verdigris figures  — first to Art Toy Society (ATS) members and then  online for $250 per set, which boils down to about $42 for each hand-painted Verdigris figure.

Verdigris is the first of several special and exclusive Mechtorians variant editions.  Look for other exclusive variant sets (bronze, antique and pewter) at upcoming events – Taipei Toy Fair (Asia) set, San Diego Comic Con set, Singapore Toys and Comic Con (Asia) set and Dragon Con.  Individual variant figures will be sold at Dragon Con – Dok A’s first USA appearance and signing.   By releasing multiple variant editions as full sets, MINDstyle is striving to serve rising collector demand  and  make it simpler to acquire all the figures of a variant edition (six at once)  without necessarily having to resort to the secondary market.
