Healey Made Trooper (Bulloch) On Sale Now

 The first painted Trooper from Healey Made is live for $25! It's a Boba Fett tribute. The original Raider and Assassin were black-and-purple affairs.

Rocom Toys Mighty Maniax Wave 4 Menu from December 30, 2022

 

Rocom Toys posted new trading cards, five new action figure molds, and some unpainted figures too.  Check 'em out!

Even More The Outer Space Men, at $15

 The Outer Space Men pulled another rabbit out of their hat with Jack Asteroid and Maximilian Gravity (Zero Gravity) Bluestar blue glow-in-the-dark action figures at $15 each. There are, of course many others.

I've dropped off buying the Bluestars at $25-$30 but I'd buy everything I'd missed so far at $15 a pop.   The four I do have glow for hours when charged by the sun, to the point where it's almost ridiculous.   If you don't have any blue glow figures I almost insist you buy at least one or two.  The color match with other glowing blue Glyos figures is pretty spot-on.

Healey Made Trooper Painted Debut 12/31 at 2:00 PM EST


The first fully-painted Trooper figure is scheduled to be revealed (and go on sale) this Saturday, New Year's Eve, at 2:00 PM Eastern. The figure includes an alternate blaster arm, a handheld blaster, and an alternate head.

But in what colors? What we do know is that the first releases of the Assassin and the Raider shared dark blue costumes. If he follows that pattern, a blue trooper of some sort would make a lot of sense.

Each figure is 3 3/4-inches - give or take - and has more in common with old Kenner Star Wars and Palitoy Action Force figures than your typical Glyos-compatible action figure.  Which is pretty exciting, if you're a toy collector of a certain specific vintage.    The Trooper seems to take design cues from a number of older toys.

New Banimon, Too - Tanks and Troops

 But wait, there's more!  Planet Banimon have new additions that, while they look like old additions, are actually available to buy. $9 is a steal for the black Banigoth figures, and I am fond of their tanks too.  Click here to check availability.



Knights of the Slice - A Riftmas Miracle

 If you like 3 3/4-inch compatible Glyos figures, today may be the best day in quite some time.  ToyPizza has a new wave up and it's a good one.  $18 Rift Killers, an alien creature build, and bug lady parts (sadly sans arms and legs) are up for grabs.  Check 'em out!



A New Outer Space Men Wave of Painted Figures? It's a Galactic Holiday Miracle!

I thought we'd never see Galactic Holiday figures again!  Just now, The Outer Space Men Shop posted  THE VOIDRILLION COMMAND 2022 GALACTIC HOLIDAY EDITION set for $100.  $25/figure isn't bad for these guys.  

In it,  you get new flavors of Orbitron, Colossus Rex, Luna Eclipse, and Cthulhu Nautilus.  Click here to see if it's still in stock.

I have no idea what the run is, but they're plenty cool.

Glyos Onell Design December 16 2022 Drop Menu

Wave 95 is here!  Click here to see what's still in stock at the Onell Design shop.   Or just keep reading if you're in the future when everything is sold out.

The last new wave was in July.  In 2022, there was also a July and a May wave - it's been a slow year for Onell Design releases, and comments on the Onell Design blog seem to indicate next year may be even slower.   Hopefully it will include more versions of the nifty new Kaisyriax, which is the Pheyaos figure with some awesome (and big) new parts.

I picked up a Kaisyriax so I look forward to showing lots of pictures of him as soon as possible.  But you can also just buy him right now, and you should.

New Glyos Wave 95 Friday - 9:30 PM Eastern

Postponed!  Rescheduled for Friday, December 16 at 9:30 PM Eastern.

It's new!  A new mutation in the Real x Head world is coming with what seems to be a modified Pheyaos coming up.  Along with Glyans, Armorvor, and more.  And multiple crossovers!  You can read some comments on Onell Design's  Insidious Iterations  page, and also set your alarms because this sounds like a good one.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Crayboth Cosmic Wave Action Figure

 

Onell Design Glyos Crayboth Cosmic Wave Action FigureI have a lot of great figures I never reviewed, like the Crayboth Cosmic Wave who I photographed way back in 2015, back when there was no pandemic and only (depending on how you count) six live-action theatrical Star Wars movies. A clear match to other figures like Armorvor Cosmic Wave [FotD #1,504], I always assumed we'd see Power Lords and The Outer Space Men in similar colors. Clear blue is striking, but the added white and blue highlights make it just a bit better. If you want a holographic blue Cray, those exist, but this one has more going for it.
