Check out the new Mission Details over at Onell Design. Sunday, February 23 at 9:30 PM EST.
Any
time I hear that there's a new line coming from the same factory as
Glyos, I wonder "so when do we get the glow in the dark version?" The Mordles Geihoza Vinyl Figure is, like the red Imbalance of Blood Mordle, compatible with vinyl Glyos figure parts like Armodoc limbs and Rig arms.
I don't know how closely the glow matches, as I don't have any
glowing Glyos vinyl just yet. (If you're selling, I'm buying.)
December
of 2013 was a flat-out bonkers month for new toys - Onell Design,
ToyFinity, the Four Horsemen, Ni Stuff, and dang near every indie
toymaker seemed to have something new on deck and it's really quite
spectacular just how many of them are existing items in new colors.
This includes the Gendrone Rebellion Gobon, a figure whose name
suggests a pretty nifty storyline which exists pretty much solely in toy
auteur Matt Doughty's head. We're treated to peeks at this story, but
odds are we'll never really know the full story behind many of these
figures and their various factions.
The delivery on the Kabuto Mushi Standard Pearlescent Brown
in nothing short of miraculous - on Friday, orders were placed at 7 PM
Arizona time. By noonish on Monday, the figures were delivered. I've
been through dozens of releases of indie figures over the last few years
and usually, at best, things tend to ship out in about a week. To be
shipped by Monday would be amazing, but delivered? In a crazy cold snap
in which all sorts of mail delays are going on? That takes dedication
- but that's just another day at the office for creator Marty
"TheGodBeast" Hansen, who has been crafting all sorts of Glyos heads,
prototypes, and hand-cast figures for collectors and others for years
now. It's rare to see someone with the collector gene, a keen eye for
toys, and tons of talent put out a figure like this but here we are!
Get your stuff, it's up early! Click here to see what's left. Full menu later tonight.
Ever since its introduction, variations on the Ecroyex Guardian Syclodoc
have had one or two heads - this one has two to choose from, which is
nice. It also sports that swell Glyaxia symbol on the shoulder, which
is one of the reasons I bought it. Sure, it looked cool, but I like
that logo so much I want it on a t-shirt.
Standing
at about 4 1/2-inches tall, this vinyl monster is made of 11 pieces of
vinyl and the parts can be swapped with some other toys, like the Rig,
the Block, or the giant Mordle. This time around, the figure has been
given a giant red eye with a white dot in the center and grey panel
lines - as few Glyos figures have panel lines lately, it's neat to see
again. The bright red really pops in the Syclodoc's head, while the
alternate Armodoc noggin looks like a drawing that came to life. The
colors contrast nicely and the grey looks like it fell out of some weird
ancient space painting. It's worth noting that the paint color
matching is exquisite - the light blue arm and leg pieces are molded in
light blue, while the head highlights are painted light blue. This is
tough to pull off well, but it seems Onell Design always gets it right
somehow.
