ThreeA - Popbot : Tomorrow Queen UKTQ.








F*** you, f*** them, we do what we do for us, get out of our f***ing way and shut your gob!
Time is like a dream, you made up memories of it all, we clear up the shit left on your carpet! We can't grow old, we can't escape the beginning.
- write-up from the leaflet.

Survival of the fittest.
The enemy is fear.
The bully boys are coming.
Can it really happen here?
Pornography of violence.
The dogs will have their day.
The bully boys are coming.
Machismo rules O.K.?
But don't you cry my darlings.
No don't you shed a tear.
Just put on your black leather.
The bully boys are here.
No time to be a victim.
When the enemy is fear.
So put on your black leather.
The bully boys are here.
Overkill! Overkill! Overkill!
- Poison Girls, Bully Boys.

1998. Albion City, Europa. The Battle of Manchester. Archduke Samael Bridger begins to invoke spells and prayers to summon the Dark Gods of Chaos from the Warp for assistance. Lady Sham enters the Palace of Thorns, senses the formation of the Warp energies. With no time to lose, she counters the Archduke's effort. If she fails, the fabric of reality within the entire combat zone would collapse, with daemons entering realspace, unstoppable and creating unprecedented chaos. She doesn't want another Underverse to be formed. More importantly, Lady Sham doesn't want to attract the N.O.M. Legion Supreme Mother's attention. Garmr's intervention would equally tear the place and its inhabitant apart within minutes. They may be sisters but of different paths. The Lady instructs the Tomorrow Queens whom followed her inside earlier to track down the Archduke before too late. The once opulent and baroque designed halls and corridors have began to change - signs of the corruption from the Warp. Lesser daemons begin to manifest, attacking the Lady. But standing in their way are the TQs. Long thought to be the ultimate slayer of Mortis's colossal Titan machines, the TQs prove themselves equally effective in stopping the daemons for they could not lock into the psyche of the TQs for the fact that as replicants, the TQs are soulless. Invoking a powerful counter-spell, the Lady blessed the TQs with protection which allows them to slay the lesser daemons. Somewhere she could hear the shriek of the Archduke echoing across the multi-faceted halls as reality begins to melt and mend with the Warp. The remaining TQs, clad in black leathers, boots and punkish attitude, form a circle around the Lady as she moves into the primary chamber of the Archduke.

Sometime prior to UKTK Search and Destroy edition drop day on Bambaland, announcement was made that there would be a UKTQ Search and Destroy edition. Stoked and excited needless to say. Like UKTK, the UKTQ is based on punk subculture once more, with black leather jacket, studded belt, combat boots, eyebrow ring and fox tail. The more significant is the hair sculpt, incredibly awesome. There is a slight variation in the face sculpt, taking the direction of the Easter TQ/Choco Hunter. The surprise drop of the day is an all-black Shadow UKTQ. Everything is fine with this figure except that the boots initially prevent it from standing properly, forcing me to use a hairdryer to soften it up a bit.
