Review: Onell Design Glyos Armorvor Standard Liocarrus Action Figure

I jumped on the Armorvor Standard Liocarrus. For those just joining us, his body has been used for dozens of figures. The lion head is new. I have a resin casting of the prototype head from ages ago, but they made a lot of changes to it - like cleaning up the hair, and adding an eye patch. It's a surprisingly dynamic rendition of a Glyos head, looking a lot like a piece of comic art come to life. I really like it. The body has been the same one for ages, but there's not much reason to change it up at this point. [ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Review: Glyos Neo Granthan Nemica Enforcer

I had the Neo Granthan Nemica Enforcer for over 10 years, and didn't write the review or shoot the figures until recently. It's a good figure, riffing on classic trooper figures from science fiction and of course, Battle Beasts. The bulky armored 2 3/4-inch figure is incredibly wide, making use of the traditional helmeted Armorvor head as well as the then-newish Neo Granthan head. It looks a little like a dinosaur.

Glyos Onell Design February 27, 2026 Drop Menu

 It's new! Well, it's a new head. The Armorvor is back at Onell Design, this time with a lion noggin. Also, it was late.   Three flavors of Lion Armorvor were up, including a surprising return of the original Venjorun model - this time with a spare Lion head.  Also the Four Horsemen Travelers were up, if you missed those, making this an ideal jumping-on point for these toys.

Click here to see what's left.  Thankfully, the new Armorvors didn't sell out immediately. 

 

Review: Onell Design Glyos Versirran Crayboth

I started taking pictures of the unnamed freebie Versirran Crayboth back in 2012, with another batch in 2023, but never wrote the review. As far as I can tell there's no Glyos Wiki page for the "stowaways," the free figures Matt Doughty sometimes includes in shipments at no cost to remind you that you should always order something. Back in 2012, the Crayboth had been around for roughly four year and this guy was the 17th little critter in the line - so I had the wild idea that I would be all-in on Crays and complete the set. A few years later, I realized that was unlikely - and now we're up to hundreds of the little guys. They're all great, and with so many crossovers and freebies and promo figures that very few people are going to have them all. Cappy Space has a checklist which was last updated around 2023 and it is worth noting that a lot of these guys a) look similar and b) have no names elsewhere. If It weren't for documentation like this, I assume there would be no record anywhere of just how many of these guys were made over the years.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Infinite Anti-Pheyden Scaphoidian

I probably won't keep buying all of these guys in every color (especially with two figures being stow-awayed as pieces) but I couldn't say no to Infinite Anti-Pheyden Scaphoidian. (Or the Origin one.) Why? The mold's great, and the colors reminded me of one of few toys I had as a kid, sold, and regret - the Construx purple alien figure. The Sarvos head reminds me a lot of that helmet.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Pheyden Prime

Given time and inflation, Onell Design manages to keep most of its stuff surprisingly affordable. Pheyden Prime was $12 in 2023, only $2 more than a similar 2019 Pheyden Regeneration figure. And for that $2, you got stuff - this figure is effectively similar with slightly different paint applications, and a vest, and some pins, and a scarf, and a blaster hand. That's $2 well spent.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Pheyden Regeneration

I've bought lots of Glyos figures and some of them get reviewed immediately and some like Pheyden Regeneration sadly take while. Since they tend to sell out immediately I'm not necessarily in a huge rush - it's not like you can go buy it from the original source. Or eBay, much of the time. Produced in the low hundreds, these guys have been in production - in different colors - since 2007. The paint masks change, the colors change, and the plastic has been gradually tweaked until it had just the right amount of "give" so you can easily swap parts between releases.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Infinite Anti-Pheyden Phrangoss

I missed out on the clear pink guy - all I got were legs so far - but I did get Infinite Anti-Pheyden Phrangoss. It's really nice. Sarvos was $18, Pheyden was $20, and Phrangoss was $22 - each figure has escalating paint applications. It's also worth noting each figure has unique paint masks with some shared elements. Silver Sarvos has the fewest, with all-red eyes and some other red markings. Blue Pheyden has more, with painted soles, fingers, thighs, belt, chest, and other odds and ends. Purplish Anti-Pheyden Phrangoss adds pink shoulders and knees (but not the same spots as Sarvos) as well as boot jets and lights on his back, just to name a few. Assuming Onell Design is marking these up at a consistent rate, it's really interesting to see what two dollars worth of paint and labor gets you. Does it look better? No question. Is it worth the extra cash? I'd say so.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Infinite Sarvos Buildborn

Sharing all the same parts as his two wave mates, Infinite Sarvos Buildborn is the silver redeco that matches surprisingly well with over a decade's worth of other silver guys. If you collect Glyos, a big part of the appeal is the scale and the compatibility. Well, we've lost a little scale in recent years, but you can easily swap parts between figures of all sizes and wind up with some wild results. Moreso if you like to paint. Sarvos has been around in some form or another as a mass produced figure since 2008, usually but not always with a torso distinct from Pheyden and often sharing the same limbs. This Infinite version shares everything with him - but you've got option pieces to make him distinctive. The "official build" from the product shot uses the Sarvos head while making use of the belt and swapping out the left hand for the phase cannon.

Glyos Onell Design December 14, 2025 Drop Menu

 It's incomplete!  Announced on the 13th and dropped on the 14th, it was almost completely sold through before I even knew there was a drop. According to various posts online, a bunch of white figures like a new version of the white Armorvor Vortrooper MK II, Frontier Pheyden MK III, Glyarmor Enforcer MK II, and a really nice Kaisyriax Phrangoss that I honestly would have loved to get.  It looks gorgeous.

 Anyway, here's what's left when I saw it.   This was the last Onell Design drop for the year, and hopefully we're in for a brief break from what may be one of the heaviest Glyos drop seasons I've ever seen.

 I also came across this menu on Discord from user Device Mode Delay and I am totally stealing it unless I'm told to take it down.

 

Review: Onell Design Glyos Infinite Pheyden Standard

 I've cut back slightly on some toy purchases but couldn't say no to the Infinite Pheyden Standard. For years there's been buzz of the Four Horsemen doing some Pheyden sculpting in the background, and with the Infinite Legions Pheyden and Phanost that I can regret not pre-ordering, they did work on these simpler, smaller guys based on the same basic concept. Fancy armor Pheyden with longer limbs and a smaller head just plain works, and comparing the two figures they're very similar in terms of what goes where. The Four Horsemen version has intense articulation and paint, with all sorts of painted details. Onell Design made a figure that's more pragmatic, with coloring no doubt influenced by the current international manufacturing situation. It's not unlike what we see out of the major franchise brands - different interpretations for different price points for different audiences. This is the entry-level limited edition indie figure.

Infinite Phanost Does Not Exist (Yet?)

 It's LegionsCon weekend, and I'm across the country.  I'm still opening my treasure trove of new Glyos arrivals, including the Infinite Anti-Pheyden Phrangoss from a couple of weeks back.  The coloring isn't precisely the same as Infinite Legions Phanost, an upcoming larger-scale super-articulated Four Horsemen release - but it's close.  So I pulled out an old Moderius clear pink Phanost noggin to see how it would look.

I think you would agree, it looks great.  Not that the normal head doesn't look great - the bony head looks a lot like a Four Horsemen mascot redesign, and the trio looks superb.  Don't forget two new flavors of this mold go up at Onell Design at 9:30 PM EST Saturday night!

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.   

Here's what you can order... or maybe what you missed.  Click here for the store.

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.

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."
