Sir Phobos - Featured Guest

Content Creator, Kit-Basher, ZOIDS Enthusiast

Archie “Sir Phobos” Rust is an Arizona based content creator & avid ZOIDS (Playmo) collector most known for his TikTok videos showcasing the fun of model building and diorama creation—with plenty of memes and fun along the way.

With 15 years of kit-bashing and diorama experience Phobos wants to share with you the joy of building your own model kits, creating detailed environments to display them, and introduce the uninitiated to the world of ZOIDS.

ZOIDS is a long running IP by TakaraTOMY starting back in 1983. With 7 anime series, *several* toy/model kit lines and current collaborations with Monster Hunter, HoloLive, and Fist of the North Star, this fandom is recently booming after its 40th anniversary. With a Desertpunk aesthetic, sentient animal mechs and a heavy dose of thrilling action, ZOIDS remains influential throughout Japan and has captivated audiences in the west after its original airing on TOONAMI.

New to the convention scene, Sir Phobos is excited to share his love of model building and customization with fans and new comers alike this year at Animé Los Angeles!
