Cappy Space Won't Quit, Outwatcher on Thursday

Adding yet another figure to a robust drop, Cappy Space reveals the Outwatcher on Instagram.  It's going to come with a bunch of heads and be painted to look like The Mandalorian.

So far this means there's a Crayboth, a Diver, and a wrestling gator - and, I assume, there's probably one or two more surprises coming.  Good stuff.  Bookmark the Cappy Space Bazaar and set an alarm for 9:00 PM EST Thursday night.

Review: NiStuff 481 Universe Maigus Action Figure

Time can do a lot to temper my enthusiasm for a toy, and I'm glad to say Maigus aged well. The endless parade of redeco opportunities in the Glyos system means that you can burn out on a figure quickly - some stand out as being a little more different, and this is one of them. The metallic mix of silver and blue plastic is a great start, but painting elements green, yellow, and red? That's a solid idea. It looks like someone melted a box of crayons on a figure, producing something wonderful.

Ni Stuff Glow in the Dark Figures with Clear Purple - December 13

In the post Unstable Split Personalities Part 1 Mr. Nicholas Merz reveals his glow-in-the-dark and purple figures coming at 9:00 PM EST Friday, December 13.  It's a heavy Glyos season!  Another figure will also be revealed in the near future.

Review: NiStuff 481 Universe Zeta Force Dig Crew Action Figure

It's amazing how a little paint and reconfiguring can make a good figure into a dud, or into something really swell. The Zeta Force Dig Crew is swell. Initially sold at New York Comic Con (and sold online the same day, kudos Mr. Merz) this figure is cast in a silvery plastic with some metallic blue pieces. Green highlights on the ankles, shoulders, and ribs can be easily seen with red eyes and a green skullcap if you pop off the helmet.

New Ni Stuff - Clear Outlander Figures on Friday

Clear Outlanders Are Coming! Stealth Outlanders are coming to the Ni Stuff store on Friday, November 15 at 9:00 PM EST.

He will be joined by a number of new custom figures, and at this time no other mass-production figures are shown.

Review: NiStuff 481 Universe NV Subject Action Figure

A slightly different take on his Outlander build, the NV Subject is great evidence of the creativity employed in this figure's design. The 17 parts are mostly the same as Silas, but with elements of the arms and legs swapped to give the figure a different, far more awkward look and feel. This figure does a great job illustrating the versatility of the Glyos system while dancing along the razor's edge between a great figure and a bit of a dud. It's a step to the side with a quarter-step back - good for customizers, nice for variety, but at this point it would seem collecting the entire family of production figures is not only difficult, but a little bland. Getting some, though? That's a good idea.

New Ni Stuff 481 Figures Up Now - Gone Very Soon

Not at NYCC? There are a few - very few- as in, under 20 left - of the two new Ni Stuff figures.  Click here to check availability, right now, as they're probably gone.  Zeta Force and Maigus are up now, but remember his figures tend to be lower run and some will be at the show - so good luck!  The paint jobs look exquisite from the pictures and I can't wait to see them up close.

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.

New Ni Stuff: 481 Universe Drop Friday, September 27

 New releases from Ni Stuff in the 481 Universe go live tomorrow at 9:000 PM Eastern!

Be ready with your Paypal account and your clicking finger, because last time the store got bogged down with heavy traffic and most items were gone (or on their way) before some people could even see what was up for sale.

New items include a really cheap $6 sack of clear Hemic Anomaly figures, of which I own in silver and glow-in-the-dark, and basically dig.   A new clear red Dr. Styre head will be $2 and there will be various figures as you see on the right here.

Good Luck!

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.

481 Universe Sale: Quick Sell Through Imminent

The drop is live now!  As with the last drop, Ni Stuff's stuff sold fast - some quasi-custom not-quite-production pieces were sold out before I could get into the store, so I don't even know what they cost.  Figures were as low as $10 this time, and I popped for a NV Subject (below) based on the head for Styre as I didn't have one of those yet.  You should check some of these out, if you dare.

Five new production figures were available, many of which were down to low double-digits or sold out in under 15 minutes.  The Pink Powered Theta is the only one which has a healthy number of inventory and it will no doubt be gone before you can get a sneeze out.

Seemingly all the customs were gone before I got in, so hey, good on you if you got one of the few production pieces.
