Review: Toy Pizza Noir Knight and Apotheosis Capsule Set

I waited probably too long to get the Noir Knight and Apotheosis Capsule Set too. I got it at New York Comic Con in 2019 while shuffling around before the opening of the last fan event I've been to since the whole thing went down in 2020 - and I'm not sure why I waited but I think I may have misplaced a few parts for a while. That's why you review thing quickly, kids. The mold of the figure was new to me, and I couldn't resist getting a Batman-flavored armored guy along with a shiny gold case that reminded me of the old C-3PO Carry Case. What a deal!

NYCC Power Lords and Outer Space Men Exclusives: Online Sale Thursday

PSA: The Outer Space Men NYCC White Star edition are up for grabs on Wednesday while the Power Lords Ggrapptikk Grunts will go on sale this Thursday, October 17, at 3:00 PM Eastern.  The Outer Space Men are open to the public, while the Ggrapptikk Grunts are going to Fan Club members only - how this will be done, I'm not sure yet.  Also, it means you may not be able to order both at the same time, allowing Store Horsemen to double their workload and restrict saving you on shipping should you wish to buy both sets.

The Power Lords figures are $13 each, $25 for the pair, and/or 25% off for Club Members.

The Outer Space Men are $70 for the lot ($35 per 3-pack), or $11/16 each.

Glyos Carded Dark Traveler at NYCC

At NYCC, Onell Design brought about 100 carded dark, clear smoke with glitter Dark Traveler figures.  You can see a whole basket of them at Plastic and Plush, and at this time I do not know how a) I can get one, b) you can get one, or c) much it cost.

...if you bought one, please, let us know the gory details.

New 481 Universe Outlanders: Maigus, Zeta Force

In addition to NYCC Exclusive Power Lords, the Glyos powers that be also revealed More Ni Stuff 481 Universe Outlanders.  And these ones look a lot better!  Maigus is a blue guy with tons of painted details.  Joining him is The Zeta Force, a silver figure.  I want both.

Each will be $10 and sold at New York Comic Con this weekend, and Ni promises they will be sold online during the show.

NYCC: The Glyos Show-Within-a-Show

There's a lot of news, but the most important thing is the NYCC Onell Design Booth Schedule.  The booth isn't a traditional booth - the sellers and vendors are swapped out regularly, making it a convention unto itself.

ToyFinity, Real-X Head, Spaced Out Design, The Godbeast, Bah'glenn, Rawshark, and everybody else that matters will be here - even the Four Horsemen.  It's killing me that I can't be there too, but if you can go, be sure to stop at NYCC booth #102.  It's looking great!

Four Horsemen: NYCC Outer Space Men, Power Lords Exclusives

This year, the Four Horsemen have (at least) a few sets of exclusives.  Two White Star Outer Space Men sets have been revealed as this year's "Beta Phase," and you can read about those at the Outer Space Men News Blog.  6 all-white figures with blue highlights for about $70, or buy them individually.

Also for sale, and confirmed at Source Horsemen, will be an unknown Power Lords item, also for sale at the Onell Design booth #102.  I don't know what it is - I would assume it's a recolor of Ggripptogg, but this is based on nothing.  It could be more Power Soldiers, which would be nice as those are great figures.  More as we have it!

Toyfinity Teaser - Maxx Zero, or LEGO Technic?

ToyFinity posted our first look at what is probably the head of Maxx Zero from the RoboForce relaunch, which may be selling at NYCC unless it doesn't. 

Word on the street has it that this is a high-piece-count figure that's large and with a bunch of options, so I'd anticipate a higher price point (especially after Colossus Rex this year) as a result from the buzz that surrounded a few recent shows. If it's as robust as it sounds, it'll probably be more than worth it. We'll probably know for sure this weekend - and I'm hoping I can order one of these on Monday if not sooner, if it shows up.  I can't wait to see how it turned out!

We'll have more as... well, there's more to be had, of course.

Banimon: Flesh-Tone Red Army at NYCC

One of many New York Comic Con 2013 exclusives we're just starting to hear about, check out the new Banimon exclusive Red Army Men.  Here's hoping some make it online after the show, I want one of these.

The MUSCLE/OMFG-themed figure will look great next to my WOMOMFG Gohlem from Comic-Con in San Diego!

New 481 Universe Toys on Friday

Over at the 481 Universe are several new figure previews for this Friday's release.  On Friday, September 27 at 9:00 PM Eastern, multiple new black and clear red figures will become available.

Here's one, and here's another.  The full menu has yet to be posted, but if history is any indication you will likely find items will be sold out nearly immediately and before you can even get a look at the store.  

There are also figures based on these designs being sold at NYCC, stay tuned to his and this site for more on that.

Onell Design Says Purple Is The New Black (Not Really)

The fine crew at Onell Design posted 3 sneak peeks from October's Glyos drop.  The good news: well, that's really good news.  A clear Stealth Crayboth finally makes his debut, and is joined by the purple Neo-Nebula Pheyden and a matching purple Armorvor, plus more to be revealed.  Are you excited?  I'm excited.  These will be available at New York Comic Con this weekend, and for those of us not at the show, online shortly.

To see more, go to New York.  Or the Glyos Transmissions Web Log.

The full, long breakdown at booth #3216 (Onell, Callgrim, TGB, etc.) is after the break. (Clicky clicky, it's the same thing from Onell Design because I copied it and pasted it here as I am a lazy thief.)   Be sure to stop by, The Godbeast always has something awesome to surprise you.  Bring cash.  You'll thank me after you spend all of it.

Octo Armorvor with Thermal Dust from TGB & Friends

The multi-person collaboration continues!  Now with Ultra Thermal Dust, the Octo Armorvor is shown with lots of pictures on a Stealth Mimic body.  Check out the breathing gear and tentacles, plus some color-change features, at the TGB Cutoms Blog!
