While not explicitly Glyos-specific, while on my break, I did get a new toy I needed to share with you all. Target has a Jurassic World Reimagined All-Terrain Capture Pack, and it has this weird sci-fi armored not-a-Warthog in it. It's actually pretty incredible - the interior has been compatible with every figure I've thrown at it so far, including the very bulky Infinite Pheyden/Anti-Pheyden. Take a look!
Meet your new favorite toy of the week! If you aren't a member of Club Mordle, the Mordles Standard Edition (Yellow) Mini-Figures go on sale Friday. The idea here is that these are newly-made figures based on the food for Rocks & Bugs & Things
toys, which are pretty uncommon as toys go and the little figures are
frequently missing. They're nifty 1980s-style figures and the
price-per-figure is quite good. And this set even has an egg with it,
and I can tell you that all 20 launch Mordles fit in it just fine for
easy storage. Oh, and they have names!
The first batch has yellow with blue paint and blue with yellow paint. For the sake of this review, we're looking at the Mordles Crawler (Blue) Mini-Figures
and we'll take an extended look at yellow in a week or two. They look
like angry or possibly depressed little buggers and are scaled perfectly
to menace Glyos figures like Callgrim or The Outer Space Men and
like those lines. When you get one in your hands, the clean little
guys have zero copyright markings, dates, or other identifying
characteristics - with Mordles, you know them or you don't. Each one
measures just under an inch high to just under 1.125-inches high and has
no articulation, but it's not like they'd really benefit from
articulation at this size. They stand perfectly and balance really,
really well.
Since there are no Glyos playsets, I bought a Fisher-Price Imaginext Space Station Toy Set on sale a few weeks ago to see if it indeed would do the trick. While not perfect, it's a close fit and certainly shows how the line may be close enough to work with your Onell Design action figures.
As you read this, Hasbro is currently shipping its Playskool Heroes line to stores. This line is similar to the Fisher-Price Imaginext toys, with articulated limbs and-- you guessed it-- vehicles.
The line is part of the new reset going on at toy stores now, I've seen bits and pieces of it for sale online and at a few mass marketers. You can see more of it in my Toy Fair 2011 Coverage at 16bit.com.
