Steve Forde's Go-Hero "Spaceberg"




Here is an oldie...back in 2005 Steve Forde of Go-Hero sent me a Spaceberg sculpt 2 mold & make prototypes of 4 San Diego Comic Con. I spent some time fixing damage 2 the sculpt (thanks 2 USPS) & had literally 2.5 days 2 mold it, cast 2 protos, & overnight them 2 him in time 4 photos & SD CC 2005. It was stressful, crazy, & worked 60 hrs. straight w/o sleep. Not 2 mention, I was trying 2 complete the 100+ mini "Zing" 2005 SD CC exclusives 4 him simultaneously. The Spaceberg was SOLID crystal clear UV resistant urethane...heavy as heck!!!

Huge thanx 2 Steve Forde 4 giving me the opportunity 2 prototype 4 him! Make sure u CLICK HERE 2 check out his Mechabot & other kewl Kaiju creations! Click on the characters at the top of the page 2 C all his creations!

  1. It's funny, because I always dug this figure, even before I knew that you had a hand in its production. It would be super cool if this guy ever ended up being produced.

  2. Steve & I are currently discussing the possibility of a small run of these prototypes 4 collectors 2 purchase through Go-Hero...problem is the shear amount of materials/labor & cost 2 collectors.
