The identity of the ultimately unused pretool second character for the 2013 Generations Orion Pax remained a mystery for a very long time. Speculation always leaned toward Kup due to some very superficial resemblance, but it was just that - speculation. Recently it had been let slip by some individuals with access to that information that the Kup idea was evidently correct, but nothing more than that. But today we got visual confirmation, and our first look at this unproduced Kup, via extra parts from leftover Botcon 2015 customizing class kits. Shawn Tessman even completed one in the style it might have appeared as a retail toy, and you can see photos of that below!
Pete's Robot Convention released the information and images via Facebook today, noting that the unpainted, unassembled leftover kits with the Kup head will be made available for purchase at their convention this year. Pricing is not specified at this time, but will probably be proportionate to the extremely limited nature of the item - just how limited is also not disclosed. Perhaps more information on these details will be released as time goes on. Meanwhile, it's interesting to see one concept of what the unreleased Thrilling 30 Generations Kup could have looked like had it materialized as a retail product!
