UPDATE: 3A Toys Prototype 1/6 Dropcloth...!!

Bramble MK2

UPDATE: The very kind and knowledgable anubis2night chimed in below to let the unschooled know that this figure is a new 1/6 character in development called "Dropcloth". I suppose if I read the 3A messageboards, I would know this, but i'm a lazy bastardo.

Check out his gun. Very cool modern weapon reminiscent of the HK USP or Sig Sauer perhaps?

After further research and the curved grip, I think this weapon might have been influenced by the stylings of such guns as the new Walther PK380. Slightly ironic as the .380 despite being the favored round of her Majesty's favorite agent, 007, it's a pretty small caliber. No doubt Dropcloth would carry caliber befitting his stature! I say .50 caliber at least!

Not exactly sure what to make of this more humanoid Prototype spied on the 3A Production Blog. It's certainly thought-provoking. Maybe a love child of the 12" human figures and Bramble? At first glance, i don't like the aesthetics at all. The arms and legs don't seem to match the body very well. But it is kinda reminiscent of the original Popbot. But I still like that original design better. I think it's the manhole-cover Bramble head that's out of place. He needs some kind of head to balance out the body a bit more? Now if this guy was wearing a trenchcoat with a giant coller flipped up with dual shotguns underneath, that would be pretty cool. Looking forward to what Ashley does with this character.

this is Dropcloth a differant character from the bramble, the bramble box shown in the third picture is for the upcoming WWRp line of Brambles a 1:12 scale version. The Dropcloth is a 1:6 bot, and he's still in production stage without the accessories which should balance him out. A trench coat and shotty's would do wonders though
