Glyos Drop Live! New Game "Glyhunter" Live Too!

Glyhunter, which is like Spy Hunter (but not) joined tonight's drop of several new black-and-greenish figures.  The new figures are up right now, and as always we'll post a menu of tonight's selections in a little bit.

Go here to try the game Glyhunter right now!

To see what's left at the store, click here.  Black Hades Mimic Armorvor and Hades Pheyden figures sold out in under 8 minutes!  The clear colorless Armorvor and several other items were gone within 15 minutes.

Spy Monkey Creations Teases More Monkaa, Confirms Glyos Pieces

So who are Gearo?  Well, we sort of know.  Spy Monkey Creations posted a couple of chapters of a story, plus a post on the October Toys forums, explaining some of what we can expect.  The reveal should go down at PowerCon in Los Angeles, just a few weeks from now, but here's what you can expect according to the forum posts:

"The figures will be about 4"- 4.5" depending on the character. Most of them, Pheyden comes up to about their shoulder. They are bulky and chunky. Think along the lines of a Gobon for heft. Each figure with accessories is gonna round out somewhere between 25-30 Glyos compatible pieces. All PVC no vinyl..... yet."


Hey, not bad!  They're teasing more with "The Stranger's Tale" story, but well, what will it look like?  Will it be fun?  Are they going to be sized similarly to 1980s He-Man figures?   I guess we'll find out later!

Onell Design Gives New Armorvor Detail

The Hades Mimic Armorvor (black with aqua green) is just one of the new figures shown today at the official Glyos Transmissions Web Log.  A new Sarvos and a "bulker" suit build using a Hub set can also be seen

You can buy these at the Onell Design store this week, unless they sell out in an hour, and let's face it: we all know they will.  (I mean, I gotta get one.)

Spy Monkey Creations Teases Weaponeers of Monkaa

While not explicitly defined as Glyos in the new post  Who are the Weaponeers of Monkaa?, Spy Monkey Creations has something new on its hands that will be revealed bit by bit over the next month.  Some forum postings have indicated this may include full-size action figures which may or may not sport Glyos parts, so we're going to go ahead and tease it here too.

If it's Glyos, expect lots more posts just like this one!  And if not... we'll update this post accordingly!  Either way, Spy Monkey Creations has made nifty Glyos-compatible parts packs as well as weapons scaled for Masters of the Universe Classics over the years and if you aren't already familiar with their wares, you should take a look.

Hades Glyos Drop Details Up at Onell Design

Apparently Onell Design invested in some PVC tooling this season because the swell Hades Force drop includes the first-ever PVC scarf!  And it's an oddly exciting little piece, Matt Doughty shows it off on his Hades Pheyden MK II and Buildman Jorvannic figures.  It looks good and two flavors of Armorvor are included.

The full details are here, (well, mostly full) and the long and short of it is to be ready Wednesday, September 5, at 9:30 Eastern.

This drop is mostly black plastic with some glow-in-the-dark, clear, and of course teal.  Transformers fans may be delighted by the similarity to some of the black-and-teal Nemesis Prime/Scourge figures... I sure am!

Nanite Monstermatic Vinyl Custom Glyos Vehicle


Our pal Nanite has been busy!  The Monstermatic is a big vinyl toy making use of original parts as well as numerous vinyl parts and elements from Spy Monkey Creations.  This nasty-looking fellow is $70 shipped and looks like it might eat your babies.

Custom Crayboth, More from Nanite

Our pal Seth (aka Nanite) posted some pretty awesome customs to his trading post on the October Toys forums.

Jeweltone Crayboth, Ersatz Bubblevein Govrom, and more can be yours if the price is right! And the price is $16 shipped for Monster Kolor Crayboth, and $40 for the travelers assuming they have not yet sold.   At press time, a few of them are spoken for and there are many sparkly, glittery, or otherwise pretty amazing figures to check out.

Ni Stuff Offering Unique Heads, Customs, More on Tuesday


Ni of Ni Stuff and 481 Universe fame has a new drop coming up Tuesday night!  At 5 PM EST, a bunch of new heads are up for grabs including some specially decorated Crayboth figures and a metallic redeco of the Venjorun Armorvor that should knock you on your butt.  Seriously, what will it take to get this kind of crazy shine on a production piece?  That's amazing.

Check it out right here!

Incoming: Glyos Hades Force

The Hades Force is coming!  Isn't that exciting? Well, we don't know yet.  Full details are coming but Onell Design posted that this new batch is coming next week.  Matt updated his post in the comments section with this juicy series of words:

"Some highlights from this wave include a Black Armorvor with some painted accents, a black Armodoc that has a kind of neat look to it and a new release of Hades, for the first time with production scarf! It's a small detail, but I've been waiting literally years to finally get that little head piece into a mold.

"There will also be a compliment of [glow in the dark] Green parts, including the return of Spectre Pheyden."

Banimon Update: Gotta Catch 'Em All This September

The Planet Banimon blog has a short update about their new Glyos-compatible mini figures.

The little guy's head is about the size of a normal Glyos figure, and we are told they should be coming in the back half of September.

I certainly can't wait to see more and availability permitting, we'll be picking up a set of these to review so you know if they're worth it.  Just looking at it, I certainly believe they will be worth picking up.

Armorvor Concepts: Grathans and Granthans

A few days ago, we looked at The GodBeast's Granthan heads, which came from a Matt Doughty design.
Today, Doughty decided to tell us what they're all about!

The Granthans tell us of the origins of the spacefaring dinosaur warriors which, I gotta say, makes me excited all over.  (After all, I grew up obsessing over the Dinosaucers because it seemed like a toy show with no toys too!)  The head concepts are pretty nifty.

The Granthans: Part 2 shows Rechlen and Aves-era art of the warriors, complete with tails.

The Granthans: Part 3 tells their story relating to the Delphi and Armorvor warriors, and will probably make you cry with joy at the prospect of them seeing mass-production soon.  I'm tearing up right now.
