Even though this isn't the first metallic blue version of this character, the Crayboth Hanosyric
stands out due to the fact that it's a brighter color that really has
more personality than the darker version we got a few years ago. The
sculpted grooves really gobble down the light, making the metallic blue
swirly plastic look bright by comparison. It shipped alongside a
metallic purple figure, and both are arguably worth the asking price of
$3.00 per - especially if you don't yet own one or more Crayboth figure.
While
it seems the mainstream toy business looks down their nose at glow in
the dark toys, thankfully the Indie crowd loves them. Onell Design's Spectre Armorvor
was the first and so far only glowing Armorvor, and with a limit of 1
per customer it sold out quickly. The figure has only minimal paint
applications, very similar in appearance to the Hades Mimic Armorvor -
the second decorated release.
I
know what you're thinking - didn't they already make one of these? The
answer is "sort of." The glow in the dark plastic changes a tiny bit
with each release, and the Gendrone Spectre Force Gobon shines
quite brightly in the dark. A month later this figure was still
available - why, I don't know, it's quite good. Gobon figures seem to
be slower sellers as of late which means you people are missing out on
something cool - the rotund robots have two pretty distinctive body
types, two heads, and this one glows for crying out loud.
