NYCC: Produciton Kabuto Mushi from The Godbeast

While I am not in New York, I am looking for information on the new Kabuto Mushi MK II production figure from your pal and mine, The Godbeast.   From what I am reading, test shots were for sale at the show to the tune of $150 - not a bad deal, but given that he's aiming for a $10 production cost, those of you who wait are in for quite the bargain.  (Thanks for posting that, Markatisu and others.)

To the left, see a picture of the test shot that I stole borrowed from The Godbeast's page.

Armorvor Triple Shot - Onell Design Reveals 3 New Glyos Figures

Last year, Onell Design gave us a great wave of 3 new Armorvors (glow, grey, and purple) all at once.  It was glorious.  This year we have 3 more currently nameless figures in blue, flesh (it seems) orange, and ivory colors!

These will be on sale at NYCC this weekend, and for sale online at some point presumably later this month. 

As always, yeah, I'll need that set.

ToyFinity Reveals Maxx Zero Test Shot - New Glyos Figure

After some teasing, here's the first really good look any of us have really seen of Maxx Zero, a new fully Glyos-compatible figure from the new Robo Force line.

John Kent writes: "It has been a long year of work to get Maxx Zero, Hun-dred and the rest ready for their return, but the figures are ready and attendees of NYCC will have the chance to get a special preview edition of these figures. Above, see Maxx Zero himself in orange test-shot colors.  He's 100% Glyos compatible and ready for all new missions."

Also in this post, he reveals new red Mordles with black highlights.  A large, jumbo Mordle has been teased to the masses and fully revealed to Club Mordle members, and hopefully all of this fun will be up for grabs shortly.  It is unknown what this nifty Maxx Zero will cost, what the first deco will look like, and all that jazz.  He certainly looks exciting though.

New Ni Stuff 481 Figures Up Now - Gone Very Soon

Not at NYCC? There are a few - very few- as in, under 20 left - of the two new Ni Stuff figures.  Click here to check availability, right now, as they're probably gone.  Zeta Force and Maigus are up now, but remember his figures tend to be lower run and some will be at the show - so good luck!  The paint jobs look exquisite from the pictures and I can't wait to see them up close.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Lost Sincroid Army Genesis Corps Action Figure

This is a pretty great figure from a pretty superlative release. The last drop was exceptionally great - this was the first opening I had in the schedule since its delivery, and I was having a heck of a time deciding which figure to review first because they were all quite good. I went with the Lost Sincroid Army Genesis Corps due to the coloring and ease-of-showing-up-on-screen - the Dark Traveler Rift Breaker was the other really great one as it's also packed with surprises.

New 481 Universe Outlanders: Maigus, Zeta Force

In addition to NYCC Exclusive Power Lords, the Glyos powers that be also revealed More Ni Stuff 481 Universe Outlanders.  And these ones look a lot better!  Maigus is a blue guy with tons of painted details.  Joining him is The Zeta Force, a silver figure.  I want both.

Each will be $10 and sold at New York Comic Con this weekend, and Ni promises they will be sold online during the show.

NYCC: The Glyos Show-Within-a-Show

There's a lot of news, but the most important thing is the NYCC Onell Design Booth Schedule.  The booth isn't a traditional booth - the sellers and vendors are swapped out regularly, making it a convention unto itself.

ToyFinity, Real-X Head, Spaced Out Design, The Godbeast, Bah'glenn, Rawshark, and everybody else that matters will be here - even the Four Horsemen.  It's killing me that I can't be there too, but if you can go, be sure to stop at NYCC booth #102.  It's looking great!

Four Horsemen: NYCC Outer Space Men, Power Lords Exclusives

This year, the Four Horsemen have (at least) a few sets of exclusives.  Two White Star Outer Space Men sets have been revealed as this year's "Beta Phase," and you can read about those at the Outer Space Men News Blog.  6 all-white figures with blue highlights for about $70, or buy them individually.

Also for sale, and confirmed at Source Horsemen, will be an unknown Power Lords item, also for sale at the Onell Design booth #102.  I don't know what it is - I would assume it's a recolor of Ggripptogg, but this is based on nothing.  It could be more Power Soldiers, which would be nice as those are great figures.  More as we have it!

Toyfinity Teaser - Maxx Zero, or LEGO Technic?

ToyFinity posted our first look at what is probably the head of Maxx Zero from the RoboForce relaunch, which may be selling at NYCC unless it doesn't. 

Word on the street has it that this is a high-piece-count figure that's large and with a bunch of options, so I'd anticipate a higher price point (especially after Colossus Rex this year) as a result from the buzz that surrounded a few recent shows. If it's as robust as it sounds, it'll probably be more than worth it. We'll probably know for sure this weekend - and I'm hoping I can order one of these on Monday if not sooner, if it shows up.  I can't wait to see how it turned out!

We'll have more as... well, there's more to be had, of course.

Banimon: Flesh-Tone Red Army at NYCC

One of many New York Comic Con 2013 exclusives we're just starting to hear about, check out the new Banimon exclusive Red Army Men.  Here's hoping some make it online after the show, I want one of these.

The MUSCLE/OMFG-themed figure will look great next to my WOMOMFG Gohlem from Comic-Con in San Diego!

Fig-lab Phase Pheyden - Finger Five Pheyden Available Now

They don't come up for sale much, but a Finger Five Pheyden is up at FIG-X.net for about $20ish, plus shipping from Japan.  The deco is based on Kamen Rider and this is one of very few times I've seen this mold come up for sale - although I am personally holding out and crossing my fingers for a "classic" Pheyden.

Click here to see if you can still get one!

Review: Four Horsemen Power Lords Power-Con Exclusive Power Soldier Action Figure

The Power Lords was one of those old sci-fi lines with a fascinating backstory and few loyal fans - it was born out of a catch-all sci-fi line based on the works of Wayne Barlowe back in the 1980s, but mutated into a line of more or less totally original designs between Barlowe and Revell, the manufacturer. This line has been in varying stages of development for years, and the Power Soldier was a surprise debut piece - rather than a clear figure like in Outer Space Men, the Four Horsemen took this license and instead opted to generate new, original "troopers" based on the original character Adam Power. There will be more - at least a blue and a red Power Soldier have been revealed in addition to the black Power Soldier and the white Elite Power Soldier.
