Here it is, we originally pitched this idea a couple months back to work with the University of Waterloo on a toy. To my surprise they agreed and we’ve immediately went to work on it. Long story short, we delivered the toy in late July and now its available at the University of Waterloo store. Limited to a 100 figures, this was by far our biggest and most ambitious project yet. We literally worked all day and all nights on this for an entire month. On behalf of our entire darkmatters team I just want to say thanks for all the support and patience.

First and foremost, my deepest apologies to all of our followers and supporters for the lack of updates in the last couple of months. I personally feel really bad for constantly my promise to reveal our latest project and still haven’t done so. We were caught in a minor situation that was out of our hands and we weren’t sure whether to proceed with the announcement or hold off because we were never given a proper release date for our latest project. But one more time for good measure, just bare with me for a few minutes longer because the official introduction is coming up right after this. As always enjoy the photos!

Promotional clip showcasing our upcoming project for darkmatters. More details to come in the next few days.

For the latest edition of our Behind The Scene series I compiled pictures from our three almost consecutive all nighters working on our current project (more on that later). Our nights consists of basketball breaks, fighting off mosquitoes, watching TV shows, blasting music late at night and generally tiring good times? We’re almost done, as in all the pieces are casted, sanded, painted, packaging is done and ready. Now all we need to do is assemble and then let you all in on what we’ve been slaving on the last 3.5 weeks. Speaking of which, the reveal will happen no later than this week so be on the look out for that.

Paint-A-Thon is one of the flagship events run by Power Unit Youth Organization which happens annually along with their other event called Night It Up. Darkmatter’s very own Paddy Leung participated in this years festivities with her friend/fellow artist Tessar Lo (Sidenote: Remember that name). I was able to stop by for a few minutes to snap a couple shots of them at work. Enjoy the visuals below!

For those who have me on Facebook may have seen the picture of the random dude dressed up as a Gundam at Night It Up. Well here he is, unmasked (sort of).
