One
of the problems I've had with toys is, at times, especially in indie
spheres, things can take an aggressive turn toward "I've got that."
Quality, value, and niftiness can only take you so far after a few years
of collecting a line of new colorways, even if there are some really
neat ones like the Skeleden Ullcroth Mutation. The real genius
in the Onell Design Glyos figure is how, at times, they can take a
figure you've bought and sell you another one with a wholly new
perspective, at no extra cost. Glow-in-the-dark figures absorb much of
the sculpted detail, leaving you to focus on the action feature and its
general form. Clear figures give you a look at the guts. But one of
the more interesting features - the panel lines - were phased out due to
costs. And now, we had them brought back for a special pair of
Skeledens, where the savings of the rising middle class in China are
also being passed along to you. This one was $18 - panel line-free
versions were about $12. The added paint lines are applied with an eye
toward perfection, but it also raised the cost by 50%. Seeing where
you'll spend money is another great way to gain perspective.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
