 Story 

“Victor Blattodea” was born behind a basement wall of Castle Frankenstein. It is impossible to know whether he gained his remarkable intelligence and opposable thumbs thanks to exposure to the many strange chemicals in the castle’s laboratory or by a simple twist of nature. Either way, none of his forty-three siblings shared his gifts. Growing up so different from his brothers and sisters, Victor was lonely and spent much of his time secretly watching the Doctor at work. He found that he could easily understand the experiments and it wasn’t long before he spotted the flaw that was making them fail and causing Frankenstein so much frustration. Stepping out of the shadows he took a deep breath, introduced himself and began to explain what he had worked out. He was surprised to be greeted only by shouts and a flying wrench. It seemed that the Doctor was well aware of his fragile sanity and was not ready to accept advice from a talking cockroach. Running back to safety, Victor decided that he would continue the research on his own. There were plenty of spare parts and materials in the laboratory left over from the Doctor’s failed experiments. Collecting them on foot under a barrage of thrown hand tools would be dangerous, so first of all he needed transport…”

“So what exactly is SUVB, “Secret Undergroup Volcano Base

“It’s a group, it’s a platform and its a means for people to distribute creative projects.

Right now it’s just going to be a big cartel page with a few exclusive and limited edition toys and figures. Over the next year it will evolve in to its own website, with timed releases, its own IPs, exclusives and specials editions.

We have the UK exclusive licence for Devil Toys and a distribution agreement with Acid Rain, these arrangements will grow with the community, as more people take interest in more lines SUVB will use its connection and buying power to get exclusives and distribution rights for other lines and company’s.”
