NEWS: New Images of Gold Dober's Circus Roboids

We've told you previously about Gold Dober's Circus Roboids, a small run of figures he's producing from the remaining parts and mis-colours left over from the Roboid creation process. Now Gold Dober - perhaps the world's most-dedicated Micronauts fan - has posted some images of the upcoming figures at his Homeworld Blog.

No word yet on pricing or a release date, but we'll keep you posted. 

NEWS: Gold Dober's Circus Roboids

We've covered the awesome fan project Roboid many, many times here and its creator, Gold Dober, is fast becoming our favourite (if slightly insane) Micronauts fan. Today sees him continue to cement that position with his latest project, the Circus Roboid, a figure made-up from  the unused parts from his Magnus Opus, Roboid.

But before you think of them as cast-offs or manufacturing errors, think again: as he points out, ''there's nothing wrong with the piece physically. It's a color tint cast off. The wrong tint or a tint I didn't want to use.'' So in reality they're more akin to chase variant colourways.

No word yet on when the four-figure run will be available or pricing details but in the meantime you can check out Gold Dober's Homeworld Blog here.

NEWS: Roboids Are GONE!

Take a good look at the picture above, as it's the last time you'll see Gold Dober's Roboids together in one place, as the limited-run of these awesome figures has sold out. What's next from Gold Dober? Only he knows, but as he recently posted he, ''may do this again for future figs.''
