Toyfinity Manglomortis Is Awesome

 Sold out, but awesome, I am hoping ToyFinity considers a second run of the debut Manglomortis.  I got mine, and I'd recommend it.   The Manglord changed out some parts and became the Mangloskull, which got upgraded, and more parts were swapped out to get Manglomortis.  This massive figure comes across two bags and a full review is coming.  I just wanted to put a few pics up now because it's a great time to be a Glyos fanatic.

If you have a sizable toy box, the amount of things you can swap around can keep you busy for days.   I assume other colors of this guy are a sure thing, but I really  hope this original one can get in as many hands as possible.  It's great.

Rocom Toys Mighty Maniax October 31, 2025 Drop Menu

Another day, another menu!  Today Rocom Toys enters the fray with a spooktacular new stuff... and some older good figures still in stock.  Check 'em out.  The God Beast's new guys are already shipping, my Manglomortis just showed up... if this isn't the best week in Glyos in years, I don't know what is.

 

Coming Soon: Paleolords

Project 

Coming soon to Kickstarter, it's Paleolords! The prototypes have been making the rounds for a while, and the 1 1/4-inch figures are just a bit shorter than a Crayboth. 

Click here to see the preview page at Kickstarter.  It's expected to launch in November and if you've seen the prototypes, it should be a fun.

Glyos (and more) Stream with Onell Design, The God Beast, Funkatello, Rocom Reveals, More

Pheyden Infinite Standard Comparison Shots

 Onell Design's most recent drop is showing up in mailboxes, and mine got here earlier today.  If you want to see some size comparisons against other similarly sized Glyos and retro figures, here are a few quick shots.  

Sadly the first three editions of the figure are sold out, but if there's a re-rerun or a recolor down the road?  You should get one. 

 
This last shot features the new Pheyden with two classics. These particular fellows are the Pheyden Regeneration (left) and Pheyden Prime (right, with vest and hand) releases from a few years ago.  It's an incredibly close match, not too far from the very first hard plastic 2007 figure but not quite the same as some middle-era releases.  Have a look!

Glyos Onell Design October 12, 2025 Drop Menu

Update: it all sold out! But there is a pre-order for a rerun due in December, so go get these while you can - no limits. A new collab between old friends leads this drop with a bigger, fancy Infinite Pheyden! The Four Horsemen sculpt is a bigger, beefier guy but not as expensive as the Cosmic Legions version.

Infinite Pheyden and More at 9:30 PM EDT Tonight

 

I almost missed the memo!  Infinite Pheyden and more should be up in less than an hour.  Who's excited? Me, for one. Click here for more.

Review: Healey Made X-Raider

In indie toy spaces, Generation X kids and baby Millennials may remember figures like the original Fisher-Price Adventure People X-Ray Man Action Figure [FOTD #2,542]. I've seen many resin toy mimic its vibes, which applied an inverse color scheme and a robot tampo to an existing diver figure. Healey Made took their venerable bounty hunter character and thusly created X-Raider. It's a great riff on a riff on a riff.

New Glyos Drop Sunday, August 31

 Celebrate work by not doing much of it, and instead dropping in to Onell.store for whatever magic Matt Doughty has cooked up.  In his post  Twisted Antithesis (Thank You!!!) he hides the news: wave 108 drops Sunday, August 31, at 9:30 PM Eastern.   It's a smaller wave and there's a preview showing some interesting Noboto and Pheyden builds with a sharp tampo, and if you can squint, maybe you can see more.  Check it out.

Healey Made X-Raider Still Available Now

I missed a few drops!  Now up at Healey Made, the very cool X-Raider.  If you need the references explained, here goes:

The Raider is a 5-jointed figure, sculpted by the guy who made Kenner's Walrus Man, with elements inspired by Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, Cobra Commander, and Boba Fett - just to name a few.

The coloration is designed to mimic Fisher Price's most excellent Adventure People figure, X-Ray Man.

$25 gets you one of these guys.  I just ordered one and you should too.  There is also a blank X-Raider for customizing.

While not as articulated as an Onell Design figure, these guys are like candy to me.  I love old Kenner stuff, and these are some of the best new designs you can get (despite the design's debut being in 2019.)

Spy Monkey Creations: The Ooze Glows Friday

The Ooze!  It glows!  The Battletribes Instagram has word of Xenoglow The Ooze, releasing to Spymonkeycreations.com on Friday at 6:00 PM Pacific (the best time zone, only during summer.)

As you can see, it looks pretty sharp.  Previous sand and clear green The Ooze figures were around $15, so this is probably also going to be in that range.

Review: The Outer Space Men, LLC Outer Space Men Bluestar Gemini Action Figure

The Outer Space Men is one of my favorite batches of toy designs ever, and I've still got tons of unreviewed figures. Granted, most of them are glow green, glow blue, or plain white... which is why I've been dragging my feet. I've got some really nice fully painted ones, and can't complain about a single one of them as a stand-alone thing. If they were doing new fully-colored figures, I'd be shouting their praises from the hills. And new characters? You couldn't shut me up if we got The Man from the Sun or The Woman from Ceres. But I've got eight two-headed guys on my shelves now.  Check out Bluestar Gemini!

Half a Nautilus - Relgothan Astro Kraken Conversion from Onell Design

 

While now sold out, Onell.store offered a really cool  Relgothan Astro Kraken Conversion the other week.  It didn't include all the parts needed to make a new color Astro-Nautilus, but you'll notice there is a head, upper torso, and arms.


I wouldn't mind if they did a run to complete the figure, personally.

The Four Horsemen Bring Pheyden, Phanost to their Legions

https://store-horsemen.myshopify.com/cdn/shop/files/combo_1024x1024@2x.jpg?v=1748889882

 Over at Store Horsemen, pay-in-full pre-orders are up for the 2026 Infinite Legions Pheyden and Phanost figures.  They're $85 for the set, or $45 each - also there are pins.

I haven't bought many of their newer figures, but I'm told it's basically the greatest thing going for indie figures in terms of customization and the fan community.   I bought a bunch of figures from their earlier lines like Seventh Kingdom and Gothitropolis, and they're really impressive.   

These Glyos characters are about 7-inches tall and each has multiple alternate heads, hands, and accessories.  A hologram part has a Glyos peg to pop on a communicator, or use as a head with your standard Glyos figure.  

Pre-orders are live through June 22.

Glyos Onell Design May 29, 2025 Drop Menu

 I  missed the memo! A new drop tonight.  Onell.store is live with a small drop of new guys.   I got a few of them, including a shrimp-flavored crossover that appears to be about 50% Astro-Nautilus (with head) that I am very excited to tell you about soon. (Mostly because I want to see how it turned out.)  Check out the new additions below, or better, click here and order some.

A Renegade Buildborne - the Gobon shown below - sold out before I found out there was a drop tonight.  It was $18.   It's similar to the Onell Design Glyos Gobon Renegade Hunter from 2019.

Glyos Onell Design April 17, 2025 Drop Menu

 The new menu for the new drop!  Wave 106 is in the store now.   The Govurom and Exellis are said to be from a run a decade ago - which may be one of the longest gestation periods for an action figure drop in history, other than surplus goods.  Click here to get what's left!

The release was delayed over 15 minutes, and the capes sold out completely by 9:50 PM EDT.

The figures have some nifty disclaimers. "Exellis body and Pheyden parts are not an exact color match, but pretty close for 12 years apart."
