Review: Onell Design Star Marshall Sincroid Superior

Did I need to spend $22 on a mostly-black 3 3/4-inch figure last year? No, but I saw the Star Marshall Sincroid Superior and it looked like something that would come out of Onell Design's Matt Doughty's sketchbook for concepts of action figures of the 1980s. Like most of the concepts to pass through his web store, it's good but weird - you can sniff out influences like Micronauts and Star Wars, as well as others while you look at the over-detailed elements on the body and the ever-popular modular design that lets you pop the figure apart at each of its 10 ponints of articulation. He's sized similarly to other Hasbro (and Kenner) 3 3/4-inch figures on my desk, which means he stands a bit shorter than the Desert Rat [FOTD 2,073] from 2019.

Review: Onell Design Glyan Glyorian

One of the fun things about Onell Design's Glyos toys is how it pays tribute to its inspirations - and that which followed it. The Glyan Glyorian winks at the offspring of one of its inspirations, slathering it in paint and ensuring that you're in on the joke. This figure takes the basic bones of an indie figure from over 10 years ago, adds a cape and some paint, throws in a few extra parts and pieces, and voila - a tribute to the most popular sci-fi figure of 2019 and 2020... and probably also 2021.

Healey Made Raiders - Naughty & Nice Edition

Action Force/G.I. Joe themed Naughty & Nice Raider figures are up at Healey Made's shop now.  While not Star Wars per se, the figures are said to have been sculpted by an old-timer in the toy business and they sure do look like a mishmash of Tarkin/Boba Fett/Cobra Commander.  I have two of the earlier releases and they're fantastic - the bundle is $50 if it's still in stock.

Review: Cappy Space Legion Lead Crayboth

A new troop! The Legion Lead Crayboth could have been a D-Con 2020 debut in an alternate timeline where COVID-19 didn't wipe out nearly every fan gathering in the USA from March onward. Last year, we got the nifty R-Toolio and C-Ps&Qs. This year, it would've been the Legion and legion Lead, both excellent figures nodding to the classic Star Wars Stormtooper.

RIP Ralph Niese

Known to this community for his gorgeous artwork coinciding with Glyos action figure drops, we were just informed that Ralph Niese passed away this past Monday via his Instagram.   If you collect these figures you've seen his artwork, which is often displayed proudly on the Onell Design Blog.

While I never met him, I've always been impressed with his amazing artwork.  Our hearts go out to him, his fiance, and his family.
