As any line goes on, you can be forgiven for saying "Hey, have I seen this before?" The Neo Granthan Reptoriun
is brown with green, similar to the copper with green Neo Granthan
Sendollest Hunter a while ago. That one had richer colors and different
paint masks, too - this new one looks sort of like an orc or an ogre
from a fantasy series. I quite like it - especially the new deco on the
Armorvor head. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
Because
of the sheer, seemingly nearly endless variety of figures it's hard to
describe things as essential in the indie sphere. If you see something
you like, another recolor may be on the way and you might like it more -
but not the Armorvor Bopper. This 29-piece wonder will likely
never make an encore because it was part of a massive TMNT-themed set
that evoked one of the most popular series of the 1980s and 1990s.
Sadly, there was no room for Splinter or April, but you pretty much got a
tribute to everybody including the punk Warthog thug Bebop - a style of
music I assume nobody watching this cartoon really had in their record
stacks. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
Going bright - not just white, the Outer Space Men continues the long march to the sea with White Star Orbitron.
I should be bored with the format, but I'm not - the unique body
types cast in white look worthwhile, so the unique space bug-esque parts
pop nicely when extruded in white with blue highlights. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
Tonight at 6:00 PM Pacific, you can grab Wave 8 of Battle Tribes from Spy Monkey Creations! 5 new figures (or a complete set of 5) are up for ordering with heads and weapons you may not yet have. It's a strong concept in some nifty colors, and you can preview them on the store until they go live later tonight.
Shadow of the Villser! A new mold is here - with multiple flavors - with the sizable and long-awaited Villser. The Argen/Buildman mold returns, and a lot of figures in classi Pheyden colors were also up for grabs. At press time, 14 of the 21 releases are still available and I would wager that might change by morning. Click here to see the August 3 2017 Onell Design drop menu.
Coming Friday! The long-awaited White Star Edition Orbotron
action figure will be up for grabs at 9:00 PM Eastern. He has blue
clear weapons and blue painted highlights. Our full review will be up
in a couple of weeks (we had to do some advance scheduling.)
