Q&A with Jesse DeStasio - Action Figure of the Month Club
Jesse DeStasio of Toy Pizza fame reached out and asked if we want to do a Q&A about his new Kickstarter, Action Figure of the Month Club. Of course we scraped up some questions from some conversations we were having with friends about the topic, and dumped those here for you. Thanks for answering, Jesse!
He was also kind enough to share an original illustration of the Device Ninja Poster artwork, so enjoy!

Do you plan to reserve anything specifically for the club - for
example, glow in the dark, or metallic paint, or some other feature? - GND

1. How will Action Figure of the Month affect your semi-regular surprise Toy Pizza drops? Will those still continue? - Glyos News Dump
We
will still have drops in the store throughout 2019, but they will be
smaller in nature. Also, instead of All-Ins once or twice a year, the
focus will be smaller boxsets that tell a specific story (the recent LA
Knights set is a good example). -Jesse DeStasio
2. Will any of the figures be available in Toy Pizza drops after they go out to club members? - GND
Yes,
pending availability. It's a bit of a moving target at the moment, but
the intent is any surplus will be on the store sometime long after the
AFTOM club has been fulfilled. -JD
Yes
to all of those. Ultimately it will be depend on how many backers we
get, but I'd love to see really cool styles go out to club members.
-JD
For the club, the packaging is super-super important to me. I've budgeted a quarter of the entire cost to solely go to how these will arrive. While the plain white mailer is appealing to me and you, we do have a lot of younger customer that that would be lost on.
But yes, I'm zeroing in on what our presentation will be and it's one of the most crucial elements of what will eventually arrive in your mailbox. -JD
-JD
4.
Will the club be 100% Toy Pizza characters and IP, or might there be
guest appearances from other members of the Glyos family? - GND
I
would say it'll be 90%-99% Toy Pizza related. There are a couple of
interesting opportunities that have presented themselves, but nothing is
solidified yet. I also did some polling and overwhelmingly our
customers wanted to keep it just KOTS. But....if I saw an opportunity to
collaborate that was too good to pass up, I would take it. -JD
5. Do you have any plans for some sort of ridable thing - a vehicle, a creature with a saddle - for your toy line? - GND
Sadly,
no. No vehicles, no beasts of burden. The days of those anniclary items
being affordable are long gone. As much as I would love to have
something like that, the tooling burden is too great and your customer
base is much smaller. Sad. -JD
6. Do you expect to have newly tooled parts or entirely new figures in every month's drop? - GND
Depends
on how much we raise. Right now I think at least 1/3 to half of the
months could end up being new parts or entirely new figures. The nature
of planning something with so little runway means we'll be relying on
our existing tools to get the first few months done. But the good news
is "existing tools" includes two very big projects no one has seen yet.
So even in those cases, there will be some newness. -JD
7.
The Glyos-compatible community is tightly knit, but sort of hard to
follow all the goings-on. Is there any chance you might include
call-outs to other compatible figures in the boxes as well? - GND
It's
an interesting idea, but we don't have boxes (just pvc bags) and there
isn't much opportunity for cross-selling. In that polling I mentioned
early, I was surprised that the feedback from customers was they want a
more pure-KOTS experience. I admit KOTS is a bit of an anomaly as far as
other Glyos lines go...there is a much more metered cross-over with
core Glyos. -JD
8. Is there a
core action figure-adjacent kind of toy you want to do but haven't done
yet? A playset, figure stands, or other distinctive display or storage
items? - GND
I'd love to do it all! I have designs for a
couple mechs that would be financial suicide. I think at the end of the
day we are a figure company and for the immediate future we have to keep
growing that business. -JD
9.
There have been a number of Kickstarters and other projects making
brand-new NES and GameBoy games lately - from ROMs to actual full
manufacture of a cartridge. When do we get the Knights of the Slice
8-bit extravaganza? - GND
Ha! I dream about this all the
time. Drew Wise, who's probably the best pixel artist out there, and I
have discussed a Snatcher-style RPG done the old school way. Like an
interactive narrative. The problem with ideas like this is- it's very
difficult to take myself off the actual production of the figures to do
other things. At this moment we have 4 different products in different
stages of the production cycle amongst three different factories. If I
skip even a day of answering emails, the wheels come off the cart. -JD
10.
With sporadic releases from Hasbro and Mattel, it's entirely possible
your Action Figure of the Month project may be the only 3 3/4-inch
action figure being released during several months in 2019. Do you plan
on doing anything special to reach out to fans of the size that maybe
haven't taken the plunge on an indie figure or a Glyos figure yet?- GND
Absolutely.
In many ways this campaign is tailored more towards new fans than
current fans. I wanted to create a great jumping on point for people who
might be new to the hobby or have been on the fence about Glyos or
KOTS. My hope is, by tapping into the idea of the mail-away surprise
figures we all got as kids, there would be a universally happy memory
people would embrace. So far, the theory's proven true. -JD
11.
To date, your figures have primarily arrived bagged. Will we ever see
special carded or boxed editions of your Glyos-compatible characters?
Perhaps little white boxes with bags that say "Toy Pizza" on them? - GND
I
have started doing our first carded figures within the past few weeks,
with a official launch of them at DCON later this month. It took a long
time to find the right printing house and the right approach. Each
carded figure will be hand deco'd or have resin pieces and the cardbacks
will be hand drawn. -JD
For the club, the packaging is super-super important to me. I've budgeted a quarter of the entire cost to solely go to how these will arrive. While the plain white mailer is appealing to me and you, we do have a lot of younger customer that that would be lost on.
But yes, I'm zeroing in on what our presentation will be and it's one of the most crucial elements of what will eventually arrive in your mailbox. -JD
12. Will all of the figures in the subscription program be Glyos-compatible? - GND
Again,
with a couple opportunities on the horizon it's tough to say. But I
would say i'm 90% certain every month will be Glyos-compatible.
For me to break the streak of having each month work with the other, it would have to be such a tremendous bonus. -JD

Review: Onell Design Glyos Vlixden - Available Tonight at 9:30 PM EDT
To celebrate 2,000 Figure of the Day reviews, I asked the Onell Design chief if there might be something we can preview here early back in the spring - he did me one better and asked if I might like to collaborate on something, asking if there was anything I might like to see referenced in Glyos. I had a list of ideas going but I assumed if you're going to celebrate 2,000 reviews here and another 2,500 or so on Galactic Hunter, you probably want to go with the most-referenced holy grail/white whale - so this is what I suggested for it. Vlixden references Vlix, a figure truly deserving the title "rare" which I found out existed around 1989 and have been chasing ever since. I was very young then and I assumed by now I'd have one. I was wrong. The price can get comparable to a car.

Culture Pirates Releases Space Series Character Bit Figs
Culture Pirates has been selling Bit Figs, previously things like ninjas and animals. Adorable, kid-friendly, and cheap toys that are perfect in this era of expensive Minecraft collectibles.
Tonight? "Space Series." Your eyes do not deceive you - you're seeing Pheyden, Crayboth, Glyan, Qualloid, and Astroloc. Astroloc is, of course, new.
At the Onell Design blog you can see the vending machine header cards that we'll hopefully see, meaning Pheyden could well finally appear in actual real toy stores across the USA.
Order yours here.
