 July 17, 2002 - Hong Kong --- Hong Kong-based entertainment company HyperChild is launching its first series of what they are dubbing their "Action Vinyl" line.
The first line to be launched will be THE DEVIANTS � and they will be debuted at both Comic-Con International in San Diego and ToyCon 2002 in Hong Kong this August.
THE DEVIANTS are a new line of rotocast vinyl figures that will usher in a new look for the popular Hong Kong trend of figures. The line developed in Hong Kong by HyperChild founders Casey Lau and Jeff Kwan, will create a new multimedia brand which will include a line of toys as well as spill over into games, animation, apparel, stationary items and consumer goods.
THE DEVIANTS are a team of psychotic, special mission operatives who are sent on kamikaze missions inside the insect world. A black-comedy series that features havoc, mayhem and more spent bullet rounds than you could ever count. THE DEVIANTS are what creator Casey Lau calls "a cross between Metal Gear Solid and The A-Team but with bugs!"
The initial four figures feature BODYCOUNT, CHOPSHOP, SLAUGHTERHOUSE and HARDTARGET with following figures DR. HEM-O-RAGE, BLOODSCREAM and ORGANGRINDER. They are a whopping 8 to 9" tall with 8-points of articulation, realistic weapons and are packed in personalized, zipped-up Body Bags.
THE DEVIANTS will be unveiled to the North American pubic for the first time on August 1-4, 2002 at the San Diego Comic-Con International at the gigantic Toynami booth, and for Asian audiences in Hong Kong at ToyCon 2002 on August 9-11th at the Hong Kong Exhibition Centre.
