Review: Healey Made Raider (GID Blue) Action Figure

 I picked up a few different versions of this figure but initially skipped the Raider (GID Blue). Obviously, I went back and got it when an opportunity came up - and for $5 under a painted figure price, it's pretty decent. A low-run 3 3/4-inch figure with almost no paint may not sound appealing, but if you've been following you know it's cool because an ex-Kenner sculptor worked on it, and because it's a Glyos system figure. That means the glow is good - it can glow for hours when charged by the Sun. For those keeping track, blue glow charges slowly but glows for hours. Red charges quickly, but burns out quickly. And green is in the middle.

Healey Made - Three Wise Kings? New Glyos Figures This Weekend

I'm an easy mark for retro-style 3 3/4-inch figures, and this is shaping up to be a great month for it.   Entertainment Earth just got in a bunch of The Retro Collection Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett figures from Hasbro this week, and now Healey Made has a Dungeon Magi drop on Saturday, December 9, at 2:00 PM Eastern.

I don't know what it is specifically, but the comments say "3 figures, existing sculpts."  So I'd assume nifty gifty versions of Trooper, Assassin, and Raider - if you don't already have them in another colorway, mark your calendars and bookmark the Healey Made Shop.

Glyos Onell Design December 3 2023 Drop Menu

I missed a few! But you can order Onell Design Wave 99 right now.  Glow-in-the-dark, black, silver, and green plastic figures are up for grabs while supplies last, so check the store.  A glow-in-the-dark Gauss Armor plus nifty new configurations of the Buildman and others should make this an exciting drop... if you got to it in time.

As I write this the Phanost Core Clone hasn't been posted, so you'll have to let me know how it turns out.  

Onell Design Preparing Drop 99 for This Weekend

I've been juggling a lot, and so have Onell Design!  They write Parallel Pathways, wave 99, will drop Sunday at 9:30 PM Eastern!

Figures expected include a new flavor of Hades (pictured), Kaisyriax, and some sort of Buildman-adjacent fellow of whom you can see in silhouette on their post.

Review: Healey Made Trooper (THX) Action Figure

 While not limited to 1138 pieces, the Trooper (THX) hit during Comic-Con in San Diego and was a highlight... of things not at the show. When this figure first appeared, you could pick out a lot of Stormtrooper elements so it seemed a given that it would be sold as a white Stormtrooper some day. And I was close - this is a black plastic figure with a nice layer of non-glossy white paint on it. I was expecting a white plastic figure with black painted bodysuit elements. Who knew?

Review: The Outer Space Men Bluestar Gamma-X Action Figure

As one of the second year prototypes from the 1960s, most people didn't get any flavor of the figure that would become Bluestar Gamma-X until about 10 years ago. He's neat! Peak midcentury design with nifty b-movie antennae, clamp-on armor, and a couple of blasters make for a notable figure. You can get him in green, a painted version, or a white version - but the blue one is pretty spectacular. The blue back armor is glow plastic with a painted blue interior! It's striking, to say the least.

Review: Onell Design Traveler Stowaway Light Blue 2023 Pheyden Action Figure

What can you say about the nameless (but I'm calling it) Traveler Stowaway Light Blue 2023 Pheyden that hasn't been said about other figures? It's colored just like Pheyden Prime and matches the Light Blue 2023 parts and pieces, with no paint other than the eyes. There's a subtle pink ring in each eye, which makes this figure a distant colorway cousin of Queen Kirallius [FOTD #2,186] from 2020.

Review: Onell Design Traveler Gearius Granthan Drifter

 A somewhat familiar face! The Traveler Gearius Granthan Drifter figure is at least the fourth iteration of Gearius, but he's also a bit like Gears Edge Pheyden [FOTD #8] from the very first wave of Onell Design figures. It's a good, realistic look with a brown body and an orange head. And a blue head. Also two brown heads. And a couple of capes, a scarf, and an alternate torso. It's a pity Onell Design never put together arm and feet expansion sets, because you almost get two whole figures in a little baggie.
