While Kidrobot<\/a> previously provided a brief list of their NYCC<\/a> releases, we now have photos and info courtesy of Friday\u2019s reveals on Kronikle<\/a>.   While we\u2019re sure fans will be interested in the exclusive  South Park and Street Fighter II minis, we\u2019ve been waiting to see Kronk\u2019s<\/a> Yankee Pig Dog Labbit<\/a><\/strong>.  The jet-pack equipped (removable)  7\u201d mechanical beast touches down at the Javits Center in the gaudy olive, yellow and pink Biological Warfare edition (300 pcs).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where this story takes a bit of a twist.  Apparently, the Pig Dog Labbit isn\u2019t quite up to snuff in terms of QC.  So KR has decided to release the figure at a reduced price, $69 instead of the intended $100.   The flier humorously points out the flaws which includes, misregistration, fuzzy paint details and echoing our memories of the Dalek Diver Dunny incident, a \u2018hand painted\u2019 look.   <\/p>\n

This one\u2019s bitter-sweet.  Kronk\u2019s design brings an over-the-top perspective to the Labbit but also brings a flawed production.   We\u2019re curious to see how these look in person \u2013 hopefully the technical shortcomings don\u2019t detract too badly from the design.   Also, here\u2019s hoping there\u2019s another edition of the Pig Dog Labbit in the works.<\/p>\n

Finally, we\u2019d like to know what you think of KR\u2019s approach to dealing Yankee Pig Dog\u2019s blemishes.  Approve? Disapprove?  Any other solutions you would have preferred ? Wondering how this got through the initial QC checks? Is this better than scrubbing the release altogether (ala the Kozik x JLed SDCC<\/a> labbit from a few years ago) ? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
