BIG YARNY ROBOT!!!

One fateful day, Brian Young (Swankmotron from Big Shiny Robot) told us about this idea he and the rest of the BSR gang had been kicking around; An online marketplace at BSR where comic artists and geek craftspeople could set up a small shop to peddle their wares. Brian asked if he thought we could do a Grimmleigh of the Big Shiny Robot mascot.

Leigh, of course, said "YES! WE CAN MAKE A THOUSAND OF THEM"! Rachel, being the sensible half of the business, started looking for a place to hide the body.



Flash forward 10 days and we have our Big Shiny Robot prototype, and we think he's pretty cool! He's quite a bit bigger than the average Grimmleigh, measuring in at a whopping 12 inches! He has two hand painted panels, one for the face, and a second for his chest panel. The doll was made from an original pattern that Rachel cooked up, and should be available soon at Big Shiny Robot!
