January 6, 2002 CURRENT RUMBLE Wirezoler Roger Harkavy 01.06.02 Ever since seeing the famed "Soul of Abalone" (or "Aba-Goji") right here in the Rumble, I've been fascinated with the prospect of seeing my favorite characters expressed in alternate mediums. I've experienced "crossover toys", such as the Chogokin Kamen Rider Amazon, and the vinyl Mugen Calibur, and these are great, but I was looking for something more than just a toy, I was looking for "art". Then I met Eric Chan, and after a few brief emails, the Wire Bazoler was born. I found Eric through one of his eBay auctions for one of his creations, a Baltan-seijin. I contacted him about the possibility of making a Bazoler. He happily obliged, and within days it was in my hands. Eric outdid himself. From the moment I took it out of the box I was stunned, and even Toy Widow Mary exclaimed "Wow!" when she beheld its glory. It's about the size of half a grapefruit, and features articulated treads, neck, and jaw. And the paint job is excellent. So there you have it. You can see the other projects Eric has been working on, including two more I've commissioned. Am I a modern day de Medici or just a moron? Take your pick, but if you're interested in Eric's creations, please feel free to contact him at griffith_76@hotmail.com BALTAN  |  SHIN GETTER  |  RX-78  |  RATBAT SPIDER  |  BAZOLER   RUMBLE INDEX  |  CURRENT RUMBLE
