Review: Rawshark Studios Warp Bike Firespray

The Glyos toy lines have a few - very few - vehicles, and some of them are pretty amazing. I couldn't say no to the Warp Bike Firespray, especially after missing the glow one and some other colors. A new vehicle? For Glyos? In Kenner Boba Fett colors? How could I not pick this up? It's three chunks of vinyl, some of which (not the big front end) were later used by Onell Design for their vehicles. According to my research (checking a Wiki) this was the third and final release of the mold. I hope they do more some day.

Review: The Outer Space Men Bluestar Maximilian Gravity Action Figure

Having launched at a surprisingly fair (if not cheap) $15, Bluestar Maximilian Gravity is kind of a fascinating figure. (The Cosmic Radiation Zero Gravity [FOTD #2,310] was $25!) As of my writing this there have been four versions of this mold - or rather, this head - and three of them glow in the dark. It's a little silly, but I'll allow it. The first ones were called "Zero Gravity" and now they're being sold as Maximilian Gravity.

Review: Outer Space Men Bluestar Colossus Rex Action Figure

I swore off completism until a 40% off sale hit the same week I got a little something extra in a paycheck. I'm not made of stone. The Bluestar Colossus Rex normally goes for $30, which was too much for me to pounce on in early 2022. But $18? With the rest of the line, also mostly 40% off? I can do that. At this point I recognize that what I'm paying for is a big wall of glowing blue plastic more than an action figure I'm going to cherish in and of itself, but I was surprised to see that this guy delivered more than Cosmic Radiation Colossus Rex [FOTD #1,546] in new colors.

Knights of the Slice Toy Pizza Drop - August 7, 2023

It's time for the Invasion of Mars at Knights of the Slice! Some stuff sold out, but you've still got a chance to pick  up one of the new Gauss Armor figures! (And more.) I got one of the Gauss Armor figures from another drop, and you should get one too - they're excellent. Click here to see what's left.

Review: Onell Design Gauss Armor Relgost Fugitive Action Figure

A veritable buffet of nods and references, the Gauss Armor Relgost Fugitive looks like someone ate all the manga from the late 1980s and early 1990s and spewed it on your desk. You can see bits and pieces of the Toy Pizza influence, Matt Doughty's special touches, and what I assume are nods to mecha I've never even heard of. The mechanical suit is designed to be compatible with other Glyos and Knights of the Slice heads, so you can make an armored version of a heck of a lot of the figures you already own.
