    Good to hear that many of the "target" audience dig Robot Chicken. Our studio did close to 400 head sculpts for Robot Chicken through Plastic Earth. We sub-contracted through a sub-contractor so the $ wasn't anything to brag about, but it has been a great experience. It really helped our lead sculptor refine the process of achieving accurate portraits in a short amount of time. The only negative aspect of it is showing the work and making sure potential clients understand the process. Most of the sculpts were done in less than a day each, so the quality isn't as good as our other prototype work. The abilities we refined while working on RC helped us land other work doing head sculpts for 12 inch figures. Most of the heads we did from season 1 and 2 are posted on the Plastic Earth web site. Several heads from each of the four seasons we have worked on so far can be seen on our web site.

      Wow, welcome. What a treat it is to see your work. 400 sculpts? That's amazing.

        I try to catch it when I can, but Adult Swim's scheduling is maddening. Like most skit shows, it runs hot or cold, but there are some genuinely funny moments there. I do admit it sometimes ruffles my feathers, but then so does Family Guy.

          If those 1/8 heads were for sale, I'm sure you'd sell quite a few.

            I won a botleg Robot Chicken doll at Halloween at Kings Island Amusement park. They had robot monkeys to ( to use spare robot parts on) it got messed up when i flipped out in the first room of a Haunted House that night and got kicked out. I statrle easily and jumped up on my friend like Scobby does shaggy.

            Doll was worse for wear beating the slaughterhouse guy.

            I gave it to an ex girlfriend.

              My favorite skit has to be Weasel Stomping Day with Weird Al.

                Sorry, but part of the contract with RC is that we cannot make and/or sell any heads other than what they order. Most if not all of the sculpts for RC were "quick studies" and would need refining and/or resculpting to be acceptable custom heads.

                    I like the episode where Walt Disney`s head is re-animated and put on a robotic looking spider.........completely demented and enjoyed every second of it!.Great show!

                      love the show. the first two seasons were the best.....season 3 was okay and I don't think I actually caught any of season 4. it's all over with scheduling.

                      I love the irreverent humor with the toys....how about the Rainbow Bright skit where she freezes and then eats all the little rainbow people. Classic. or the Princess of Power when she is PMS'ing.

                        Its better on DVD than on TV those 15 minute shows are just to short.Atleast on DVD you can watch it staight through.
