Review: Onell Design Glyos Mechabon Gendrone Revolution

New molds in Glyos are far apart these days, so a new figure like the Mechabon Gendrone Revolution is exciting. It's $20, but it does double duty as a Gobon-adjacent robot and as a new form factor for ToyFinity's RoboForce. You get a lot out of this mold, with lots of big parts and cool weapons. The last all-new mold I recall was the Villser, which I must confess I have yet to actually purchase. But the Mechabon, this is the thing. You want this.

Review: The Outer Space Men, LLC Outer Space Men Cthulhu Nautilus Action Figure

Absolutely no toy line has the right to employ the phrase "a long time coming" like The Outer Space Men. The line is 50 years old, and some of the toys took nearly 40 years from concept to product. The 45 years it took to get Gamma-X makes Cthulhu Nautilus seem speedy by comparison - the figure was teased in 2011 as a concept drawing, while the coloring and head were based on toymaker Mel Birnkrant's massive imagination. In addition to The Outer Space Men, Birnkrant also came up with dozens of other lines like the unrealized Monstro-City, and this 2018 Cthulhu Nautilus head looks a heck of a lot like a Cthulhu-inspired creature from that toy pitch.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Vlixden - Available Tonight at 9:30 PM EDT

I can't believe this exists, either. I'm very excited as I type this.
To celebrate 2,000 Figure of the Day reviews, I asked the Onell Design chief if there might be something we can preview here early back in the spring - he did me one better and asked if I might like to collaborate on something, asking if there was anything I might like to see referenced in Glyos. I had a list of ideas going but I assumed if you're going to celebrate 2,000 reviews here and another 2,500 or so on Galactic Hunter, you probably want to go with the most-referenced holy grail/white whale - so this is what I suggested for it. Vlixden references Vlix, a figure truly deserving the title "rare" which I found out existed around 1989 and have been chasing ever since. I was very young then and I assumed by now I'd have one. I was wrong. The price can get comparable to a car.

Onell Design Glyos Retro Altrovos

About a year after the similar Neo Astrovos [FOTD #1,797], the yellow Retro Altrovos was a mystery figure of a figure I actually had as a kid. It pays tribute to the yellow Astro Knight from Fisher Price's Adventure People series, which I got from a neighbor at a garage sale at some point. The bizarre yellow figure had angled shoulder joints and legs fused together, removing vehicle compatibility while augmenting its ability to look like a super hero. This figure takes the color scheme and applies it to the template we saw last year - and of course, I love it. It's also not too far off from Samus Aran, which I'd absolutely love to see some day - of course given my druthers, I'd probably pick something more esoteric for one of these figures. But I digress.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Glyrecon Action Figure

Generally speaking, you can't go wrong with a good mystery figure. The Glyrecon is the Alpha Recon driver from the old Adventure People line, but in Glyos form. You get a cool helmeted head, a Pheyden head, a bird head, and a bunch of armor bits. It didn't sell out opening night, so hopefully you got one if you wanted one.
