Review: Onell Design Glyos Armorvor Bopper


Onell Design Glyos Armorvor Bopper Action FigureBecause of the sheer, seemingly nearly endless variety of figures it's hard to describe things as essential in the indie sphere. If you see something you like, another recolor may be on the way and you might like it more - but not the Armorvor Bopper. This 29-piece wonder will likely never make an encore because it was part of a massive TMNT-themed set that evoked one of the most popular series of the 1980s and 1990s. Sadly, there was no room for Splinter or April, but you pretty much got a tribute to everybody including the punk Warthog thug Bebop - a style of music I assume nobody watching this cartoon really had in their record stacks.

Review: Outer Space Men White Star Orbitron Action Figure

The Outer Space Men, LLC Outer Space Men White Star Orbitron Action FigureGoing bright - not just white, the Outer Space Men continues the long march to the sea with White Star Orbitron. I should be bored with the format, but I'm not - the unique body types cast in white look worthwhile, so the unique space bug-esque parts pop nicely when extruded in white with blue highlights.

Review: Onell Design Outer Space Men OSM Mystron Demonula

Onell Design Outer Space Men OSM Mystron Demonula Action FigureAs part of a wave of fantasy guys inspired by swords and magic and demons, the Outer Space Men refugee OSM Mystron Demonula fits. Space-faring knights can do battle against a red being of evil from another plane, who just happens to be from a popular compatible toy line. By now you've had many shots at Mystron as a clear figure, a glow figure, a plain white figure, a painted figure, with about 8 releases to date. It's not a lot by Glyos standards, but compared to most other toy lines it's a ton. Thanks to new colors and new paint masks, the results are pretty solid.

New Onell Design Drop Thursday with New Figure

http://onelldesign.blogspot.com/search/label/new%20release
It has been years since Onell Design's last completely new figure, and it looks like a mysterious new arrival is slated for Thursday, August 3.  But what?

Over a dozen new parts have been lovingly photographed in stunning portraits that do absolutely nothing to establish what the final item may be.  I'm impressed.  I love the pictures and of course I'll be ordering one of whatever the heck it is when the chance comes up - at press time, I did not see the release time.

Reviews: Onell Design Glyos Pheyden Zardurac


Onell Design Glyos Pheyden Zardurac Action FigureIt feels familiar but it ain't! Standing about 2 3/4-inches tall, Pheyden Zardurac is yet another take on the signature Onell Design creation. The distinctive dome head with skull-like face and big, colorful eyes have graced dozens (if not hundreds) of figures by now, with the savvy Onell Design crew finding new and interesting ways to dress up the same basic figure. Sometimes this would be an alternate head, a phase arm, or a recent popular addition is a scarf. This one goes an extra step by including the debut of a new "shirt" design on his chest plus a whopping four bonus accessories from The Outer Space Men figures. There was a Cyclops figure in this wave, and the runner shares accessories for Gemini and Orbitron. This means you get a lot more stuff for your money if you bought this particular Pheyden.

Review: Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Electron+ Action Figure

The Outer Space Men, LLC Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Electron+ Action FigureI know what you're saying - wasn't there already a glow in the dark version of Electron+? Yes. This new Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Electron+ is cast in a slightly different (and better) glow plastic with more paint highlights and for the first time, bent arms. The original release, for reasons not ever truly revealed, just had the straight arms only. If you just need a glow Electron+, either version is great - but if you want a matching glow set or the very best version you can get, get this new one.
