Famed Hong Kong toy designer Kim Fung Wong (aka ThreeZero) is teaming up with Japanese mega-company Bandai to produce an incredibly kick-ass Mecha figure! According to ThreeZero, this figure is 1:12 scale, and
"the robot will contain a 1/12, 6” action figure designed by Kenny Wong."
Designer-Toy collectors will undoubtedly recognize ThreeZero as the "3" behind the toy-designing duo known as ThreeA (The "A" stands for Australian artist Ashley Wood). Designer vinyl fans might also recognize the name Kenny Wong.

To round out the project, Bandai has enlisted the aid of Mr. Kunio Okawara, famous for his mecha design contributions to Bandai's powerhouse franchise: GUNDAM.
What do you get when you combine the unique, ground-breaking design style of one of today's top talents with a
company who's infrastructure and dedication to quality have made them a
toy-creating giant? I don't know, but I can't wait to find out!
Stay tuned for more details as they develop...
