Pre-Toy Book Launch Special #1 - Reissue Ideas!

In exactly 9 days until Foldabots Toy Book Volume 5 hits the shelves, The Foldabots Blog will give you a sneak peek of what's inside that Toy Book and ideas from the genius behind this blog!

To begin, let's recap the contents of Toy Book 5. There are 16 different Foldabots and Lutabots that can be created, 10 of it belongs to the prehistoric rivals--the Saurobots and the Yelobots, the other 4 goes to the Foldabot Diadrones Tu-Lock, Tinidrone, Barena, and Karga, whereas the other two belongs to Sagip and an unknown character.

Now, Sagip was first debuted in the first Foldabots Mini promo back in 2009 as this ambulance. He was then up-sized in the March 2010 issue of K-Zone Philippines. Finally, this Foldabot medic is back with something new on the latest volume of the Foldabots Toy Book. Aside from the back panel is now completely attached onto the main body, there is another bonus part, probably the little cart that can be placed inside the ambulance.

Sagip isn't the only one reissued in this book, the Saurobots (from August 2009 to January 2010, excluding November due to the papercraft Omnitrix from Ben 10 Alien Force) and Yelotron (August to December 2010) were also included.

And now we move on to some of the possible design concepts made by our resident Admin...

Foldabot Kalasag Reissue Concept, captured on my cellphone this morning. Among all of the first 8 Foldabots released in 2006, this is the only one left that is never reissued until now. The pattern style is a cross between Bangis and Butandrone, while the design is modified from Kagat.

Foldabot Siklo Reissue Concept, also captured this morning as well, and I believe this has a huge change to the pattern aside from Siklo himself is based off Kislap and the sidecar is as realistic and complex as Pasada from Toy Book 2. Like his old version, Siklo has this sidecar that can turn into his little pod, but on this one, that sidecar got a major facelift by making it more versatile than before. The wheel on the sidecar is now detachable by a paperclip which can be placed on either side of the sidecar, it also doubles as a shield for Siklo.

Lutabot Tambak Reissue Concept, the third and perhaps the last idea I came up with. Tambak is now a Liyab-esque Lutabot, still with some parts from the old release back in Feb'10. I also added a message that states Trosotron's reissue will be almost the same as Tambak, except with a platform trailer as big as Buhatron from Toy Book 4.

The last idea, which I never drawn, was Rangkada's reissue. The reason why is because Rangkada IS the duplicate of Pasada, and if you compare him (the old and current version) with the metallic printed Pasada from the second Foldabots Toy Book from 2009, you can tell that Pasada is a lot bigger than his carbon copy. The 'new' Rangkada is now based off Pasada (TB version) and has the horn ornament placed probably on top, instead of on the hood. The visor now bears the Lutabots' own sign and the K-Zone logo is replaced with the name Lu-Sho in a same fashion as the logo itself. The words 'ASTIG NA PINOY' is also replaced with 'WE ARE ALL EVIL.' The website 'foldabots.multiply.com' is now replaced due to Multiply will no longer exist in the future, with 'www.facebook.com/foldabotsofficial' that is written underneath the bumper.

Since this is the first blog I'll post before the day, I'll have three more posts coming up real soon, and on the next post, I'll upload some fixed patterns I recently made...
