Radioactive Uppercut is behind the 8-Ball

John Santagada from Radioactive Uppercut has been teasing us with the 'It's Coming' poster for the last week but now it's been revealed his upcoming debut vinyl line with his first figure '8-Ball'.

The series will feature a number of 4″ designs influenced by all the good things like 80’s toys, garbage pail kids, old sci-fi and horror flicks, and comic books of the 50’s and 60’s. Each figure will be rotocast in vinyl and articulated.

John will be funding the project through Kickstarter July 1st. The basic rewards will be the standard figure along with trading cards and comics. A number of custom 8-Balls have also been donated with artists Frank and Martina Russo from MF Gallery,  Ed Long and Damien Glonek of Living Dead Dolls and Monsterforge have all confirmed their time and talents so far. While we wait for the Kickstart champaign to begin go check out the Radioactive Uppercut Facebook page here for all the low down.

There's something odd about Sonic

Funko will be releasing yet another franchise later this month with Sonic the Hedgehog and consistently like the other POP! figures the three characters from the popular video game Sonic, Knuckles and Tails all stand at 4" tall. 

Other than each character package in a window box that's where we think the consistency ends.

Sonic appears to be squinting for some reason and we can think of another Funko character who has been designed like this. It may be the photos (supplied by Funko) but the paint on all three figures appears to be a little out of the lines and a bit chunky. 

Like we said it may just be the photos (which isn't great promotion for the product). Sure collectors and fans will buy them and we don't have anything against Funk POP! figures, in fact we love them but are these a less figure than it's predecessors? You can pre-order all three vinyl figures from here with release date at the end of May

Let us know if there are any other characters like Sonic that has different eyes.
