Guest reviewer moldie13 is back, this time with a review of the exclusive Red Under the Bed set from the World War Robot portable line from threeA Toys. His previous AFP reviews include the WWR Heavy Bramble MK 2.5 Gravedigger and the WWRp Armstrongs.

In mid-February of last year, threeA Toys, through their online store, bambalandstore.com, put their WWRp (1/12 or six-inch scale) versions of their “Large Martin” robot design up for sale in a few different varieties. Yhere were three sets offered, each set with one Large Martin (with a massive shoulder mounted cannon over it’s right arm), one Damn Large Martin (with a cannon over EACH arm), and an RPG Bramble. You could buy each set individually, or you could drop the cash for what many threeA followers considered a bit of a grail at the time – the “Three Times Three” set, with one of each set combination, and the added bonus of an exclusive WWRp version of Blanc de Plume! that’s nine robots and one human figure total.

Folks were excited when these were announced, but what really got the blood pumping was the declaration that two additional sets would be offered in very limited numbers – the “Frosty Choad” set and the “Red Under the Bed” set, each containing one Large Martin, one Damn Large Martin, one RPG Bramble, a Bertie and a Square. and each essentially offering a full “squad” of one particular “colorway” (the threeA faithful term for color theme).

The standard Large Martin sets shipped out to eager collectors late last year, but the exclusive “Red” and “Choad” sets have just now begun to land in the hands of some of us eternally-patient WWR collectors.

The last we saw of him, moldie13 was out in the desert shooting pics of the WWRp Armstrongs. We loved those pics so much that when he showed up with the Heavy Bramble from the big brother World War Robot line (WWRp is a 6-inch scaled line, while WWR is the original 12-inch scaled line), we asked him if he’d share some more pics with us.

The day of New Year’s Eve, the buzz started over at the threeA forums about the WWR Heavy Bramble MK 2.5’s finally hitting in Southern California, which spells a drop in Vegas on the same day – and I had to go to work… which meant that if I missed the delivery, I’d have to wait a few more days for a robot I’d already been waiting for months to show up. “It’s worth a shot,” I thought to myself. So I ripped off a post-it note and scrawled “LEAVE PACKAGE HERE” and printed and signed my name, got on my bike, and pedaled to work.

New Year’s Eve Twenty-Ten – the end of the worst year I can remember having. The story’s long enough already so I’ll spare you the rest of the details and get to the point – it worked. One big-ass box from threeA Toys sitting on my doormat. The year would end with a hunk of Heavy Bramble happiness after all.

This is the World War Robot Bramble Mark two-point-five, the “Heavy Bramble,” termed so for its upgraded carrying capacity (its arms are gigantic in scale compared to the original Bramble model) and its massive cannon, the PORNSTAR RPG.
