Ram-Bot, a Masters of the Universe Inspired Custom Sketchbot by kaNO

myplasticheart recently presented the Sketchbot Custom Show, which also marked the official launch of the Sketchbot vinyl figure, a new figure by NYC artist/animator Steve Talkowski. 50 artists and designers participated in the Sketchbot Custom Show and there were some really amazing pieces, all of which can be seen here.

Since I know a lot of diehard He-Man and the Masters of the Universe fans read The Blot Says…, I thought I’d feature one of my favorite pieces from the Sketchbot Custom Show, the hand painted MOTU inspired Ram-Bot custom figure by kaNO.

kaNO explained where his inspiration for Ram-Bot came from on his blog: "As soon as I saw the Sketchbot figure all I could see was Ram-Man from the old He-Man cartoons that I grew up on. I sculpted a little, but the rest was pretty straight forward. I was really happy with the outcome." (link) kaNO’s custom Sketchbot “Ram-Bot” is still available at myplasticheart.com. It can be purchased here for $250.
