BMOG Toys
BMOG Toys is a toy company started in 2013. They specialize in adult collectible robot toys.
Development
BMOG was started by Trent Troop. He said he came up with the idea of BMOG toy when playing with a Generation 1 Top-Heavy toy. He also says it was inspired by Glyos. He designed his bear mold in Studio 3D. The hexagons in its design are inspired by honeycombs.
Fundraising for the BMOG Toys bear and manta mold was done through Kickstarter. The goal of raising $19,000 was surpassed by the end of the fundraising period on December 13th, 2013.
