Toys
are a weird business. If you're a fan, you might meet the makers and
designers of your favorite toys - often before they become famous. The Desert Rat LRDG Version
from Toy Pizza mastermind Jesse DeStasio is Onell Design Matt Doughty.
I met Matt maybe 10 or more years ago at Comic-Con in San Diego when he
was carrying around what I believe was an early version of Pheyden - I
may be misremembering - before he built his empire of customization and 
Wave 79! Walruden joins a spectacular small horde of creatures, including the return of the Villser, some awesome Glyans, a Gendrone Force Defender... and absolutely no Buildman/Argen-types like I would have guessed! Click here to see the March 7 2019 Onell Design drop menu.
I probably don't need to review Cosmic Radiation Cthulhu Nautilus
because you should, by now, know what to expect. The figure has
removable parts, sports a lot of articulation, glows brighter than most
action figures, and features better than expected silver highlights.
There are more Kenner Star Wars cantina alien tributes to do, and now Onell Design gives us Hammerden.
Referencing Kenner's Hammerhead figure almost exactly how I imagined
it - with option parts I did not - Onell Design shows just how much they
get it by ensuring their tribute replicated the side eyes of the
original 1979 action figure.
Expectations are worth a lot. I haven't played Fallout as I am an old, cranky gamer but I know it's popular and the Nuka T-51 Power Armor
stood out as interesting on so many levels. It's a mass-produced,
at-retail, Glyos-compatible figure sold in a box for $10. In and of
itself, that's amazing - costs have been rising so a 3 3/4-inch scale
Glyos figure with a weapon at this price is an absolute bargain. On top
of that, it's licensed and has a lot of painted details - for Glyos
fans, that's amazing! However, if you look at the picture on GameStop's page
you will note the final product lacks several details. Compared to a
run-of-the-mill Glyos figure, it's impressive. Compared to the promised
image, it's not. As a fan of interesting toys, for the price, it's a
gem.
Wave 78! What is assumed to be a Kenner Hammerhead Pheyden joins a new knight and tons of fantasy monsters. It's on theme and looks great! Click here to see the January 17 2019 Onell Design drop menu.
