E(Z) Uppers! Group 1 Complete

E(Z) Uppers Series:1 Group 1 Now Complete!

Finished with the first group of the Epsilon(Zeta) Uppers!  Series:1.

There will be a few more groups coming out, all of them based of the "Fight With Tools" theme.

This toy series was inspired by many things, culture, art, society, music and politics. I wanted to create something with a message, rather than something that just looks  cool. 

I also wanted to have something that anyone can build. Something "easy", which is where the name Epsilon(Zeta) originates. And, at the same time create something that could be easily relatable by everyone. 

I tried to incorporate a small bit of customization, so people can switch and combine elements from each toy. The hair, the faces, the accessories and the tools. So, while we have the Artist, the Musician, the Technologist, the Conservationist and the Laborer, you can easily trade and change items based on your own preferences and make each one unique.

This was, in effect, the culmination of that desire.

Don't just occupy space, Utilize Space!

Here we see how you can change the hair form one to another. There will be more hairstyles with the future releases. So, that's something to look forward. I also encourage customizing on the fly, make your own, DIY. Don't let these toys inhibit your creativity, utilize them a jump-off point into something else! Make your own tools.

/E(Z) Upper Release 7/20

E(Z) Uppers Launch Postponed

Well, Bad news. 

After what I thought were the final templates, the last build shows that they still need a bit more tweaking to help solidify the design and help the toys live up to their namesake. I' m postponing the release for one more week to work this out.

There's really a lot of work that goes into designing papercraft. From planning to final product, there is a lot of building in between. And that is the time consuming part. It's fun building a model for the first time, but, after the ump-teenth time, there is very little joy. It is a patience builder for sure because it's really easy to just want to get it done and become sloppy, but accuracy is what you need to achieve in order to produce a quality toy.

I am happy with the way the toy looks when fully built, I just want to make sure "YOU" the builder enjoy the building. Take a look at the  final products.

Meet the Models

On the left we have the Musician. He's rocking a Fender Strat and a Boy Sets Fire shirt. He also has a stylish watch and studded bracelet. His weapon is hard hitting music that penetrates to the core, ideas of brotherhood and unity.

On the right we have the Artist. She's wearing a DIY "Question Authority" shirt, a checker sweat band on on arm, and an anarchy wrist watch on the other. She has a sketchbook where she keeps all her best laid plans, schemes and dreams to bring down the tyrannical oppressors of the people.

Look for them

On 7/20

Paper-proofing Final Phase

Initiate launch Sequence>Epsilon(Zeta) Series 1:Fight With Tools

E(Z) Uppers: Fight With Tools is almost ready to launch. Final paper-proofs are currently underway. Here is an idea of what the first official release will look like:

This series will feature all sorts of switchable items and accessories! Change up hair and faces, mix and match accessories like bracelets, hats, belts and glasses.

There will be five(5) groups of at least five(5) characters per group. Each character will feature individual accessories and a "tool" of choice for fighting tyranny, fascism, despotism and all around abuse of power anywhere individual rights and freedom are being neglected.

The Creation...Process.

Creating the E(Z) Upper

So, there is a lot going on right here, right now. I did a test build on the new toy ad while I'm pleased with the result this far, I see some areas that can still be  improved one before I release it to the two or three people who are interested.

The above image  shows some of the ares which need attention. While building the "paper-proof", I become aware of 1) the things I need to fix, and 2) the things I can change. Let's address the first.

I need to fix certain things for aesthetic and design reasons. An example would be the hair. I really want the hair to frame the face more, make the sides longer so it has a natural look, not like she is wearing a wig.

With this same example, I can change the hair by making it separate from the head. Like...A wig! Incorporating the wig idea, I can make a customizable toy that can be changed to the builders enjoyment.

This does two things for me. First, it refreshes my enthusiasm about the project, and second, it doubles my project time. Which, as an adverse effect, lowers my enthusiasm, again. 

But, I am so enamored of this new idea, that enthusiasm or no, I am willing to proceed. In fact, I am going to proceed.

So, I say to the two or three people who are following this process so far...

Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Something for the lovers

That's why you don't push mysterious buttons!

So, Wifey and I were surfing the ol' Netflix when we noticed a note between two thumbnails that said milk. Pretty much the above comic tells the whole story. In a more interesting way than reading these words that you are reading right now. All in all it was a pretty funny experience and should be for anyone who enjoys Arrested Development.

The Rise Upper

Epsilon(Zeta) Upper!

The idea behind the Epsilon(Zeta) Uppers, was to design a toy that was simple and fun to put together. Which is a challenge for me because I tend to over do it, a lot.
