The 2020 Grand Finale! Inspired by Star Wars, wave 89 is one of very few Onell Design drops this year. This time, it was inspired by The Mandalorian and some of the best of Star Wars, featuring tons of paint and accessories. Click here to see what's still in stock at the store - a lot of items sold already.
Check out the Onell Design Blog for more.
Action Force/G.I. Joe themed Naughty & Nice Raider figures are up at Healey Made's shop now. While not Star Wars per se, the figures are said to have been sculpted by an old-timer in the toy business and they sure do look like a mishmash of Tarkin/Boba Fett/Cobra Commander. I have two of the earlier releases and they're fantastic - the bundle is $50 if it's still in stock. Click here to check.
A new troop! The Legion Lead Crayboth could have been a D-Con 2020 debut in an alternate timeline where COVID-19 didn't wipe out nearly every fan gathering in the USA from March onward. Last year, we got the nifty R-Toolio and C-Ps&Qs. This year, it would've been the Legion and legion Lead, both excellent figures nodding to the classic Star Wars Stormtooper.
Known to this community for his gorgeous artwork coinciding with Glyos action figure drops, we were just informed that Ralph Niese passed away this past Monday via his Instagram. If you collect these figures you've seen his artwork, which is often displayed proudly on the Onell Design Blog.
While I never met him, I've always been impressed with his amazing artwork. Our hearts go out to him, his fiance, and his family.
Check it out! Click here to see new Galaxxor figures in their store. Painted figures are $40, blanks are $30.
Cappy of Cappy Space wrote in to let us know there are more figures dropping this week! November 11 at 9:00 PM Eastern, you can buy.... something. But it's yet to be announced, so come back later for details. (It's good, though.)

UPDATE - we got samples of the Crayboth Legion and Crayboth Legion lead.
You can find more pictures on their Instagram here.
They make look familiar - there's a good reason for that. Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 26, at 6:00 PM Pacific.
It is not the slightest bit hyperbolic to call the the Delphi Ryllcedia
a long-awaited release - which is amazing, when you think about it.
Glyos, Pheyden, and friends are relatively young in the world of figure
collecting but through the power of innovative storytelling, they
created demand for a product that wouldn't exist for over a decade. Take a look at the Onell Design blog to see how far back it goes - and there's even more buried in their Passcode
animation. The creatures' backstory is, to say the least, kind of
vague - but they're ancient beings that had something to do with the
origin of the Armorvor, or something. Custom "Armored Delphi" figures
appeared in a Custom Corps drop in 2010, and have remained a
hot-ticket item demanded by fans for mass production. This figure is
based very much on those early releases, with pale grey skin and a pink
accent plus lots of ridges and a pink swoosh. In other words, this is
pretty much exactly what you have been waiting for all these years.
As the fates foretold, Wave 2 of the Bluestar Outer Space Men are live now. (It is uncertain if they are in-stock or a pre-order.) Like the last batch they're $25.00 each plus shipping, and come with a wide array of accessories.
The glow-in-the-dark blue plastic is
incredibly bright when properly charged, and the wave one figures turned
out really well. If you are so inclined, you'll probably love them.
The Glyos system works great for these 3 3/4-inch scale figures, plus
things that glow in the dark are generally always nice.
The
Outer Space Men relaunch kicked off 10 years ago as a sort of perfect
mashup of Glyos construction and 1970s Kenner articulation and
personality. And it's still going! On Twitter, The Outer Space Men crew previewed the next batch of Bluestar figures.
These blue glow-in-the-dark figures are updates of the 2011 crew -
Commander Comet, Mystron, Electron+, and Alpha 7. This is the first
we've seen them in-the-glowing plastic.
When I first got into Glyos about 10 years ago, they were pretty cheap. Fully painted figures came boxed - boxed!
- for under $10, with panel lines and a little paper slip inside.
Rising material and labor costs have put a stop to that, but once in a
while you can still got some cheap figures like the Lost Sincrodrone Eta.
This bright pink figure is basically just some existing parts in a
unique configuration. It was worth the seven bucks just to have a
friendly robot fire hydrant around.
As shared experiences go, toys are great. Unfortunately The Outer Space Men
are one not shared by my peers - they're before my time, but I love the
designs as sci-fi space race-era toys go ever since I saw them in
Action Figure Digest, which was a real magazine a million years ago.
For this reason, Bluestar Metamorpho is a fun, weird figure that stands on his own. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
UPDATE 6/22: After selling out on Saturday, a second drop will go live Tuesday, June 23 at 9:00 PM. Click here for the Instagram post confirming this story. 
Via Instagram: New Healey Made Raider figure at 2:00 PM Eastern on Saturday 6/20! What is it? We don't know yet - but the previous painted ones were pretty good, and the clear green was no slouch either.
We don't have details on specifics yet, but there's a Warlords of Wor drop this week! An Instagram post says to expect it Friday, June 19, at 9:00 PM Eastern.
You know the drill - The Outer Space Men are awesome. These 3 3/4-inch action figures are magical and got wildly expensive to make in recent years, so the Bluestar Astro-Nautilus is $25 today when you used to be able to get a fully-painted and carded
set of four figures for about $40. That's inflation for you. This
mold is one of the ones they used in 2010, and it's a gorgeous design -
is it worth $25 though? ...well, I bought one.
Glyos figures usually turn out as shiny, cool, distinctive little things. The Armorvor Athrodak Parasitic Clone comes in a hitherto-unseen clear flesh
color, which looked really cool in the pictures and is even more
impressive in person. I'm sorry, I meant to say "unsettling."
Capturing the toothy, ghoulish, dead-eyed creatures of the deep in
plastic has been tough - the Chap Mei Animal Planet ones looked cute,
and every figure or model I see tends to be perfectly nice looking.
New figures! Go to the Nemo's Factory Store for new Glyos-compatible robots. (There aren't many going around lately.)
