Glyos Onell Design May 11 2014 Drop Menu

Glyaxia returns! Two surprise Crayboth were the big mystery items, in matching pink and green. Click here to see the May 11 2014 Onell Design drop menu. Lots of vinyl, 4 Crayboth, an Armorvor, and several other goodies were on deck. If you're watching your wallet, this was a painful drop - everything is gorgeous, and the two big vinyl figures are already gone.

Get yours while you can!

Glyaxia Drop Live Now at Onell Design

A new game and all the figures are up!  A special Phaseon and 2 watermelony Crayboth are up as surprises, as is the full gorgeous compliment of yellow and blue.  If you aren't pinching your pennies, go nuts - the Syclodoc appears that it will be the first to sell through, so get yours early if you can!

I'll post the full menu here later this evening, as is tradition.

Glyaxia II Drop Info Dump

The Glyos Transmissions Web Log posted the menu for this Sunday's Glyaxia release.  Called Glyaxia II: Escape from Block Base this collection has a lot of yellow, a lot of blue, and some surprises to be named later.

Also notable is a $1 Armorvor price increase, the return of vinyl pieces, and some other goodies.  The Glyaxia Command Sentinel (left) was teased in some art on the Onell blog ages ago, so it's nice to see it finally making the transition to the third dimension.

In case you're in a horrible future in which the Onell blog is no longer online, see the menu for Sunday, May 11's drop below.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Spectre Armorvor Action Figure

While it seems the mainstream toy business looks down their nose at glow in the dark toys, thankfully the Indie crowd loves them. Onell Design's Spectre Armorvor was the first and so far only glowing Armorvor, and with a limit of 1 per customer it sold out quickly. The figure has only minimal paint applications, very similar in appearance to the Hades Mimic Armorvor - the second decorated release.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Gendrone Spectre Force Gobon Action Figure

I know what you're thinking - didn't they already make one of these? The answer is "sort of." The glow in the dark plastic changes a tiny bit with each release, and the Gendrone Spectre Force Gobon shines quite brightly in the dark. A month later this figure was still available - why, I don't know, it's quite good. Gobon figures seem to be slower sellers as of late which means you people are missing out on something cool - the rotund robots have two pretty distinctive body types, two heads, and this one glows for crying out loud.

Onell Design Unleashed Glyaxia: March 11

News flash - Onell Design will offer Glyaxia figures May 11!

While we do know switch pins, tri hubs, and other vinyl elements will be up for grabs there's not much else known as of today.  Previews are promised, so keep an eye on the Glyos Transmissions Web Log for more teases and I'll post more here as we have some news to share!

Review: Onell Design Glyos Gendrone Ultra Corps Mimic Armorvor Action Figure

Since its introduction a few years ago, this particular figure has been released in dozens of colors and tends to sell out quickly. Oddly the Gendrone Ultra Corps Mimic Armorvor stuck around for weeks - I'm not sure why, the silver plastic looks pretty fantastic - and for all I know it'd take to dye well, if you're into that sort of thing. It's the same 18-piece figure as always, which means that not only can you swap parts with other releases, but you're also potentially satisfied with the size of your Armorvor collection at this point as we round 20 flavors.

Review: ToyFinity Mordles Quinhozs Vinyl Figure

Another one! Thankfully ToyFinity has kept the big Mordle releases tight, so figures like this Mordles Quinhozs Vinyl Figure aren't part of an endless, tiresome parade of expensive vinyl - instead, we've had 3 so far and each one is pretty cool for different reasons. The line kicked off with red, switched to glow in the dark, and now we're going for a Jaws-inspired grey figure with cold, black eyes of death and a little white patch on his chin/belly/whatever it is. I'm quite fond of the design, the original red figure has remained on my desk since I got him.

Ni Stuff Drop Right Now

If you had a busy weekend, you (like me) may have missed the NiStuff announcement.   A pretty decent selection of new silver, glow, black, and red pieces are up for grabs including some new heads and helmets.   Click here to check out the news, and hurry to see what's still in the store.

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.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Ecroyex Mimic Armorvor Action Figure

It's impossible to look at the Ecroyex Mimic Armorvor and not love it. Depending on how old you are, you'll see any of a number of inspirations. Perhaps the blue with red will remind you of some of the "stealth" Iron Man action figures. Perhaps the silver head and blue body will remind you of Micronauts, with the name coming off as a garbled up variation on "Acroyear."

Review: TheGodBeast Customs Glyos Red Sharkorvor Head Glyos Accessory

I got the Sharkorvor head a while back, and let me tell you it's pretty sweet. Like many of the other harder hand-molded heads, TheGodBeast cast these in a variety of colors so you could paint them and use them as you see fit - mine came in clear red, but these were often treated more as a "kit" than a part unto themselves. Many Glyos collectors will customize or modify parts, but I see this as a sin so I left it as it came to me - and I think I'm going to leave it that way.
