JunPo Series 1: Release date July 21st

No one is sure how long the JunPo organization has been around. Like the Samurai or the illuminati, they have existed as a secretive global faction passing down their mission and way of life from generation to generation.

Axl

Base of Operation: Finland
Day Job: Crab Fisherman
Specialty Task: Deep Sea Rescue

Raj

Base of Operations: India
Day Job: Janitor
Specialty Task: Urban Clean Up

Tran

Base of Operations: Thailand
Day Job: Backhoe Operator
Specialty Skill: Subterranean Mole

The JunPo's are looking good.  These echo the vibe of the current HazMat suits more than any of the previous UnklBrand figs.  The arm detail is quite nice.

D 56 
E 57

SUG Series 2: Release date July 22nd

In 1955 SUG was born in a remote part of Iceland. He weighed in at a 40lbs and was an astounding 43" long. Today, the real SUG is all of 7'7" and weighs 655lbs. He continues to base his operations out of a remote location in the moonlike landscape of northern Iceland. We approached SUG to ask if we could create a 12" version of him and tell his story. The only thing he asked for in exchange was a set of the 3 original UNKL Brand SUGs, which we quickly agreed to. For the record, SUG says the figures are an
excellent representation of his likeness.

There are two new figures in this 2nd series: D 56 (Red) Icelandic Surgical Division and E 57 (Black) Icelandic Tactical Division.  The SUG is a really nice figure, one that hasn't really gotten its just due. We hope that Series 2 attracts a new legion of fans.
