Alex Pardee never ceases to amaze me! He’s always dreaming up the craziest, creepiest and most mesmerizing new creations. To that end, check out this insane new line of resin figures, The Thunder Babies! The first three The Thunder Babies resin figures will be released this week exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Meet Lipstick, Murmur and Skawl! This new ongoing line of high-end (and limited) collectible figures was designed by Pardee and sculpted, cast and painted by Greg Aronowitz. Each San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Exclusive The Thunder Babies resin figure is limited to 75 pieces, will come packaged on a custom die-cut blister card and retail for $150 at Alex Pardee’s SDCC booth #5502.
Lipstick: At an early age, Lipstick was abducted by a mysterious spacecraft for 3 days before being returned to Thunder Island seemingly unharmed. But shortly after her return, The Thunder Babies realized some differences in her speech patterns, as well as a tremendous drooling problem. Upon pressing her for info, Lipstick physically erupted and the research alien that had been hiding inside of her body revealed itself, assuring the other Babies that he is only there to observe their lifestyles. For reasons unknown, The Thunder Babies were completely ok with this. Unlike any of the other Thunder Babies, Lipstick speaks multiple languages, although most of them are intergalactic alien languages and completely useless on the island of Thunder. It is still not known what was done with Lipstick’s original brain and organs.
Murmur: Murmur is, by far, the hungriest of The Thunder Babies. At least that’s what all of the other babies assume, based on his constantly gaping pie-hole being filled with anything he can get his hands on. Whether it’s leftovers from last night’s drunken pizza party, or a smorgasbord of maggot-ridden mystery meat from Randy’s Landfill, Murmur’s gullet and its storage capacity are that of legend. One time, Murmur had to be locked up after he was seen ingesting an entire family of tourists “for fun.” It is still a mystery how his stomach handles all of these treats.
Skawl: Skawl died over a decade ago, but don’t tell Skawl that (please). I’m not sure how well he would take it, or what might happen if he realized it. Skawl has always been simultaneously resilient as well as gullible. You can feed him a vial of arsenic but tell him its turmeric and he’d not only be fine, but he’d actually be energized! As long as he doesn’t know what’s going on, nothing can hurt him. It’s a mysterious and confusing super-power that basically just makes Skawl a walking Faberge egg. That being said, he is one of the most helpful and friendliest of The Thunder Babies on the island.
