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.

New Ni Stuff - Clear Outlander Figures on Friday

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.

Review: NiStuff 481 Universe Outlander Silas Action Figure

For those not in the know, there's this guy Nicholas Merz that has, for years, customized and cast various figures under the handle "Ni" or "Ni Stuff." He's expanded his offerings into the 481 Universe, which includes numerous characters - although he hasn't had many go to production just yet, beyond his Anamolies PVC figures and some Glyos-compatible heads. Until now! The Outlander Silas is one of two releases this month of an entirely newly-tooled figure that, at first glance, seems like a hybrid of the Callgrim and Pheyden characters. When I saw the initial drawings, it took me a minute to realize that it wasn't a mashup of those two. The style of the figure and the original drawings very closely matches that of Onell Design's product, but when you see the fully-molded figure there's no mistaking it for anything other than an original creation that closely matches the style.
