ThreeA 3A, MK2 Andy & MK1 Squaro..Andy Wahol 'Brillo' Inspired.

Just got the 2 pcs WWR MK2 Andy on the 07th March 2012. These are the latest toys shipped from ThreeA toys (3A). ThreeA toys are founded by Comic Illustrator Ashley Wood & Toy manufacturer Kim.


“The Square² (or Square) is a small support robot in the WWR Universe. Variations of the Square² have also made an impact in the civilian sector including emergency logistics and light cartage.”

Current featured review are the MK2 Square Andy (Squaro), from Ashley Wood / 3A, World War Robot (WWR) series. Released for pre-order on the 24th Dec 2011, priced at USD 65.00. The Toy’s production had already pre-determined so items did stay at the store for too long. I remember that they lasted about 30 min at the store.
The MK2 Sq’s are the 2nd variation to 3A’s ever popular MK1 square, as seen here (short legged lil fella). They consist of many fraction, the ones featured here are the “Squaro” version. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s Brillo works. Ashley wood is a known admirer of Andy Warhol’s art & works. Coincidentally, they even share the same initial (AW).
Back to the toy’s, Both featured MK1 & MK2 Squaro’s are 1/6th Scaled & sold together with 10” X 10” prints. Mk1 Squaro : Is a SDCC 2011 exclusive made for sale only at Toy Tokyo’s booth, it has a limited run of 100 pcs with a price tag of USD 55.00.
As you can see both square versions spots similar motif & designs. The only obvious difference are their physical attributes. I prefer the Squaro’s overall designs, it’s color & weathering is different from the other WWR fraction. I also like how it represents pop culture & itself is an iconic integration on to a 3A toy..
