Banimon Tank: March 2014?

Boris of Rocket North and Banimon fame dropped by the October Toys forums to lay down this gem of an update on his vinyl Tank toy:
"An update on the vinyl tank project: we are officially out of the prototyping phase and moving on to tooling. There are some new fit functions in addition to what we unveiled at NYCC (thanks to Matt!) but the basic aesthetic won't change that much. Right now I am told a March release is a realistic option, so we're shooting for that. Very excited to share this with everyone, gonna post some pics once the test shots start rolling in..."

Robo Force Drop: 2 Figures, 9:30 PM EST Friday Night

Check out this post at the World of ToyFinity for news on the new figures for RoboForce!

Enemy the Dictator (pictured) includes extra bonus light blue parts and will cost $20.
Hun-Dred the Conqueror (red) will be $18.
Maxx Zero t-shirts will be a mere $15.

The carnage begins at 9:30 PM EST in the store, so be there!

New Mordles are also previewed, but there is no on-sale date for those at this time.

Kabuto Mushi Menu Reveal? Maybe!

While it's important to say that everything is subject to change, it looks like this post on October Toys' Forums shows that the new Kabuto Mushi figures by The Godbeast may be a mere $10 per.  And there will also be a bag of little rubber Mini Mushis for a mere $8.

The same red you've seen from Onell and ToyFinity will be included, as will other new colors and the always popular and customizable clear colorless plastic.

I'm interested! They look great from the artwork, I can't wait to see the final product!

Hun-Dred Revealed for Robo Force

The ToyFinity blog posted Hun-Dred the Conquerer, in red! So that's easy to remember. The figure matches the Onell Design metallic, pearly color just released a few days ago.  It's quite nice - and will probably make this new Robo Force figure sell out even faster.

Review: Banimon Red Army Muscle Men

I've been trying to cut back on some recolors, but the Banimon Red Army Muscle Men were impossible to resist. They're roughly the same size and color as OMFG figures, which come out of the same factory. The unpainted pink figure has all the same parts as the previous release, with one big exception - the robot "face" has a large peg nose which is now removable. Assuming we ever get more Glyos-compatible nose pieces, you're in for a bunch of fun here.

Robo Force Enemy the Dictator Coming

Most likely part of this week's drop (and with colors to match the latest batch of Onell Design toys), ToyFinity teased Enemy the Dictator today! And that's about all they showed... so click through for more, but that's pretty much it.

Review: October Toys OTMFG Zombie Pheyden Mini-Figure

Mine came for free from Kickstarter. Fun fact - Zombie Pheyden, based on Matt Doughty's Glyos figure Pheyden, was shown at Comic-Con a couple of years back as part of Z.O.M.B.I.E. series 2. For whatever reason the series was sadly abandoned, but its most shining star was saved from oblivion earlier this year. The 2 1/8-inch figure comes up to a Glyos Pheyden figure's shoulders, and has no articulation.

New Glyos-Compatible Robo Force Friday, December 20

Mark those calendars - your next shot at a new Robo Force action figure is December 20, 2013. That's Friday!  Two colors will be available - but which ones?

Click here to see the announcement at ToyFinity, or click here to read the review of the Genesis Edition figure.  It's quite good.  The figure, not the review.

Ecroyex Initiative Glyos Drop Bonus: Heads, Belts, More

Everybody is getting a mix of freebies from the last Onell Design Glyos Drop a couple of weeks back., from bonus figures to packets of parts.  What I got are light blue, dark blue, and black head & belt sets.  What did you get?  Let us know in the comments!

Lost Sincroid Army, Elder Exellis, and Dark Traveler heads are included as is are scarves and Dark Traveler belts.  It's a great mix of stuff, and I'll add reviews of the new Nobotos, Gobon, Armorvor, Syclodoc, and more as soon as time and scheduling permits.

Ni Stuff Glow in the Dark Figures with Clear Purple - December 13

In the post Unstable Split Personalities Part 1 Mr. Nicholas Merz reveals his glow-in-the-dark and purple figures coming at 9:00 PM EST Friday, December 13.  It's a heavy Glyos season!  Another figure will also be revealed in the near future.

Review: Glyos Dark Traveler Rift Breaker

I snagged the Dark Traveler Rift Breaker because of the nifty color and the (at the time) new head sculpt - it was later revealed that grey heads for the Dark Traveler were made and are sneaking out in some new orders, but at this time I sadly do not have one - but I do have this one! I like this figure a bunch, I shot it back in September and I don't know why I didn't finish it up sooner. It's pretty beautiful, and the color is strikingly different from Onell Design's "Voss" green and their 2013 Neo Phase green.

Review: NiStuff 481 Universe Zeta Force Dig Crew Action Figure

It's amazing how a little paint and reconfiguring can make a good figure into a dud, or into something really swell. The Zeta Force Dig Crew is swell. Initially sold at New York Comic Con (and sold online the same day, kudos Mr. Merz) this figure is cast in a silvery plastic with some metallic blue pieces. Green highlights on the ankles, shoulders, and ribs can be easily seen with red eyes and a green skullcap if you pop off the helmet.
