About The Panda Otaku Project: "Panda Otaku is a long term collaborative project between ourselves and fellow Sheffielder and wood-carving magician Nick Hunter.
Together we produce super limited editions of hand-carved wooden toys, fusing contemporary character design with traditional craftsmanship of the highest quality.
Every one is individually carved by Nick and then painted or finished by ourselves. Each figure is produced entirely here in Sheffield, totally unique and a pain-staking labour of love."

Usually third party Transformers companies give you teasers for months... but occasionally a company just announces a finished product. Toyworld is doing the later with their new Headmaster Swamper, an homage to Skullcruncher and Grax. If the design of Swamper is similar to their previous releases, it will be compatible with Generation 1 Headmasters, and ity will stand about the size of a large Voyager to small Ultra figure.
