Review: Onell Design Glyos Armorvor Glyaxia Command Mimic Action Figure

The Armorvor Glyaxia Command Mimic is a little less colorful than his ancestors, but it brings us a second blue Armorvor - and this is a good thing. Previously we've had an unpainted "OMFG Mimic" and a dark blue "Ecroyex Mimic," the latter of which was a striking figure with dark blue, light blue, red, and silver. This guy? He's got yellow and black. It's not bad, but it doesn't "pop." With the price increase, my guess is we're seeing a pushback against increasing wages in China and other inflationary things.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Crayboth Grellanym Action Figure

For every figure from Onell Design there is usually an equal and opposite figure. Crayboth Grellanym is the flipside of Gryganull, a pink plastic figure with green highlights. The pair debuted a few months ago, and took center stage in a pretty fun flash game which I could best describe as a horizontally scrolling Space Invaders clone. It was pretty good, and if the figures weren't already on the way to selling out this would make them move a lot faster. They vanished quickly.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Super Crayboth Standard Action Figure

The Super Crayboth Standard has been years in the making - various "King Crayboth" concepts showed up on the Onell Design blogs as teases here and there, so the debut of this mold - along with 7 new and 1 rereleased standard Crayboth - was a bit of a shock to the system, as well as the wallet. Never before have this many new Crayboth figures been plopped at once, so it was certainly another fast sell-through.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Glyan Glyaxia Standard Action Figure

The Glyan Glyaxia Standard is similar to the Glyaxia Command Elite version from 2011, but different enough so that the untrained eye can easily tell the difference. The yellow seems a tiny bit oranger, while the blue seems quite similar but just a smidgen brighter.

In the last three years, a lot has changed in the Glyos world overall - new lines brought in a few more players, and actual licensed properties now exist within its galaxies. Edition sizes haven't climbed much, but a few newcomers give Onell Design a reason to go back to the well on some styles. This one in particular was one of my favorites during the first go-round, so having another shot at it was certainly nice. One of the most obvious changes over the last few years was the increase of pricing on most toys manufactured in China, leading to companies changing how they do business.
