Revenge Raider - New Glyos Figure from Healey Made

It's new! Modeled after the newer revised armor of Boba Fett, this Healey Made Raider (Revenge) is available now for $25, until it sells out.  The same mold has been issued before, but it looks like it has a new cloth element.  It also costs about the same as Hasbro's new Boba Fett figure in The Vintage Collection, so take a look and click here to check availability.

Review: Onell Design Quallerran Ulstriax

A companion piece for a matching The Outer Space Men Gemini figure, this Quallerran Ulstriax has been sitting around in my living room waiting to be reviewed for nearly five years. What took me so long? I have no idea - but this figure came out with two Gremlins-themed Quallerrans and some other choice figures, and we had so many great new releases from Onell Design that I've got a bit of a backlog. I like this one - and he comes with red clear Cyclops accessories from The Outer Space Men as a bonus.

Review: Healey Made Assassin (R-Complex)

 I skipped the unpainted prototype, but could not pass on the debut of the Assassin (R-Complex) figure with paint! I got the Shadow Raider a couple of years ago, and this one matches it pretty well - dark greys and purples with some green. Twinsies! This 3 3/4-inch figure is a little rubbery, but not in a way that makes the figure unpleasant - it just helps to make sure the tail won't snap and break.

Review: Onell Design Pheydenstein

When the epitaph is written for the toy business, Pheyden will undoubtedly be one of the characters with the biggest wardrobes. Pheydenstein is an example of the playful, flexible nature of the Onell Design toy line. The basic 2 3/4-inch figure has been upgraded with parts from other figures and slathered in paint to bring you a 3-inch monster.

Review: Onell Design Sincroborg Buildriun

Onell Design takes years to complete some of its figures. The Sincroborg Buildriun had been in the design phase for quite some time, and it shows. Designer Matt Doughty probably knows just how long a figure needs to be viable and exciting, and by giving a figure three distinct heads, a head/weapon part, a vest, a knife, a blaster, some belts, and oh yes - a mask you can flip down, there's a lot of meat on these bones. I'm not 100% sure what all of his inspirations are, but it smells like Dragon Quest Golems, Mega Man, and countless other import figures were likely on his mind. And things I'd likely never guess. The end result is a distant cousin of his classic Buildman figure, which has been out of circulation for some time. You can see why this is better, though, with similar fists, a regular hand, and just so many parts to configure and reconfigure.

Pre-Orders: Healey Made Raider Mutations Set

I've been bad at keeping up on Glyos releases, but the Raider Mutations pre-order is a thing you can order now for later.  4 TMNT-flavored warriors are $100 if you get your order in.  Click here to see if you can still order these.

If you haven't yet picked this mold up, this is as good of a set as any.  I've had my Shadow Raider on my desk since I got it, and it's wonderful.

Review: Onell Design Star Marshall Sincroid Superior

Did I need to spend $22 on a mostly-black 3 3/4-inch figure last year? No, but I saw the Star Marshall Sincroid Superior and it looked like something that would come out of Onell Design's Matt Doughty's sketchbook for concepts of action figures of the 1980s. Like most of the concepts to pass through his web store, it's good but weird - you can sniff out influences like Micronauts and Star Wars, as well as others while you look at the over-detailed elements on the body and the ever-popular modular design that lets you pop the figure apart at each of its 10 ponints of articulation. He's sized similarly to other Hasbro (and Kenner) 3 3/4-inch figures on my desk, which means he stands a bit shorter than the Desert Rat [FOTD 2,073] from 2019.

Review: Onell Design Glyan Glyorian

One of the fun things about Onell Design's Glyos toys is how it pays tribute to its inspirations - and that which followed it. The Glyan Glyorian winks at the offspring of one of its inspirations, slathering it in paint and ensuring that you're in on the joke. This figure takes the basic bones of an indie figure from over 10 years ago, adds a cape and some paint, throws in a few extra parts and pieces, and voila - a tribute to the most popular sci-fi figure of 2019 and 2020... and probably also 2021.
