The Quest for the Lime begins tonight with some pretty great figures! A nifty crow head on the Chakan body, returning Knights, and more are up for grabs at 7:30 PM EST in the store, so says today's Instagram post (pictured.)
Click here an reload furiously for the next several hours. It won't do you any good, but has that stopped anyone on drop day before?
But did you know it also connects to the first figure, the Raider? If you remove the rockets, the backpack perfectly aligns with the twin canisters on the figure's back. How cool is that?
A full review of Trooper (Bulloch) is coming Thursday.
The new wave from Spaced Out Design is here! Check out the new recruits. Also click here to see what's still available. The blue to yellow gradient on Geodraxus Gradien is a new factory-applied technique, and that's pretty impressive stuff.
As confirmed by a post on Instagram, Warlords of Wor has a new drop Friday at 9:00 PM Eastern. There are no details as to which characters are coming, but their teaser image on the post seems to indicate it's likely to be inspired by Masters of the Universe.
The first painted Trooper from Healey Made is live for $25! It's a Boba Fett tribute. The original Raider and Assassin were black-and-purple affairs.
Click here to see if it's still in stock.
The Outer Space Men pulled another rabbit out of their hat with Jack Asteroid and Maximilian Gravity (Zero Gravity) Bluestar blue glow-in-the-dark action figures at $15 each. There are, of course many others.
I've dropped off buying the Bluestars at $25-$30 but I'd buy everything I'd missed so far at $15 a pop. The four I do have glow for hours when charged by the sun, to the point where it's almost ridiculous. If you don't have any blue glow figures I almost insist you buy at least one or two. The color match with other glowing blue Glyos figures is pretty spot-on.
The first fully-painted Trooper figure is scheduled to be revealed (and go on sale) this Saturday, New Year's Eve, at 2:00 PM Eastern. The figure includes an alternate blaster arm, a handheld blaster, and an alternate head.
But in what colors? What we do know is that the first releases of the Assassin and the Raider shared dark blue costumes. If he follows that pattern, a blue trooper of some sort would make a lot of sense.
Each figure is 3 3/4-inches - give or take - and has more in common with old Kenner Star Wars and Palitoy Action Force figures than your typical Glyos-compatible action figure. Which is pretty exciting, if you're a toy collector of a certain specific vintage. The Trooper seems to take design cues from a number of older toys.
But wait, there's more! Planet Banimon have new additions that, while they look like old additions, are actually available to buy. $9 is a steal for the black Banigoth figures, and I am fond of their tanks too. Click here to check availability.
