While a little darker than my original Kenner Sears Snaggletooth figures, the 2 3/4-inch Searsden
looks like a distant cousin. The skin is lighter, the boots are
silver, there's some red, the silver buckle is there on the belt, it has what it needs to have. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
If the 2 3/4-inch Mutant Evolver Pheyaos Hyper Mordireus Fusion
looks familiar, it should! Onell Design and RealxHead have been
conspiring together on figures for years, most of which sell out in 30
seconds and I've never really had a shot at them. The default head
matches Pheyaos Mini and Pheyaos Man, with an all-new Glyos-compatible
body that really does match the style of the RealxHead soft vinyl
figures you missed and can't afford. A bonus face on the back of the
head looks a little bit like the Chaos Trooper, but what truly amazed me
was the color match of the plastic. If memory serves the first
Mordireus Pink figures were sold in the December 12, 2012 drop with the likes of Sarvos and Crayboth and again in September 2013 with
Noboto and Gobon. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
The new Testudo Knight joins a couple of blank Material Boy figures and a had/pizza slicer set at the Toy Pizza shop. If you need more Knights of the Slice, this TMNT-esque one is a keeper.
I was very excited to get the Mikros Set BLT Version from Toy Pizza. Micronauts
have been an influence on Onell Design and Glyos figures for years, and
we've seen tributes both subtle and overt. This may be the most overt.
Jesse DeStasio and friends took the classic Knights of the Slice
figure, cast it in clear, painted the hands and feet white, added a
chest tampo, and painted the heads silver. It turned out nicely - and
I'm a little surprised we didn't see one of the other 3 3/4-inch The Other Space Men or Power Lords
or other collections do it a few years ago. Now that they're here,
it's worth noting they sold out very quickly and a second wave went up
for pre-order about a week after for August delivery. That window is
also now closed. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
