May 17, 2004 - Australia's 7174 PTY LTD and Hong Kong's HYPERCHILD are proud to announce the development of "WBR: WORLD'S BEST ROBOTS."

Created and designed by superstar comic artist ASHLEY WOOD and produced by CASEY LAU and HYPERCHILD, WBR is the new line of deluxe special edition statues from the acclaimed artist of X-MEN, SPAWN, AUTOMATIC KAFKA, POPBOT and the upcoming METAL GEAR SOLID from IDW.

From the recent success of Wood's art being turned into Spawn action figures in the "Series 25: Classic Covers" line, 7174 and HyperChild are now working on an original line of robots due for a Summer 2004 worldwide release. A fully painted comic based on WBR is due out later this year and BRAMBLE (see art) is the first in a line of limited-edition WBR pieces from the mind of Ashley Wood.

This is the first in a series of artist-driven limited edition products from HyperChild following on the success of THE DEVIANTS and GARBAGE ROBOTS.

Prototype images, comic art and more coming soon!
