Review: Onell Design Glyos Super Crayboth Standard Action Figure


Onell Design Glyos Super Crayboth Standard Action FigureThe Super Crayboth Standard has been years in the making - various "King Crayboth" concepts showed up on the Onell Design blogs as teases here and there, so the debut of this mold - along with 7 new and 1 rereleased standard Crayboth - was a bit of a shock to the system, as well as the wallet. Never before have this many new Crayboth figures been plopped at once, so it was certainly another fast sell-through.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Glyan Glyaxia Standard Action Figure


Onell Design Glyos Glyan Glyaxia Standard Action FigureThe Glyan Glyaxia Standard is similar to the Glyaxia Command Elite version from 2011, but different enough so that the untrained eye can easily tell the difference. The yellow seems a tiny bit oranger, while the blue seems quite similar but just a smidgen brighter.

Onell Design Glyos Glyan Glyaxia Standard Action FigureIn the last three years, a lot has changed in the Glyos world overall - new lines brought in a few more players, and actual licensed properties now exist within its galaxies. Edition sizes haven't climbed much, but a few newcomers give Onell Design a reason to go back to the well on some styles. This one in particular was one of my favorites during the first go-round, so having another shot at it was certainly nice. One of the most obvious changes over the last few years was the increase of pricing on most toys manufactured in China, leading to companies changing how they do business.

New Kabuto: Voss in August

http://thegodbeast.blogspot.com/2014/07/kabuto-mushi-hot-august-releasefrosty.html
TheGodBeast has confirmed new Kabuto Mushi figures are on tap for August.  The first colorway seems to be a return of the sea glass green "Voss" previously used to great effect over at Onell Design.

No date (or full menu) has been given, but these figures are typically quite nice and worth your attention if you don't yet have any. More as we have it!

Review: ToyFinity Mordles EGD Vinyl Figure


ToyFinity Mordles EGD Vinyl FigureIt's yellow! The Mordles EGD Vinyl Figure is another jumbo vinyl release - yes, another one - and it really doesn't offer much new other than a creative deco. Which, let me tell you, was enough. I love these jumbo guys and the Pac-Man-esque figure goes great with the clear blue "ghost" Electra-Geists (sold separately). A few years ago I was kicking around a similar idea for Crayboth figures in ghost colors and a Syclodoc with yellow Pac-Man-esque helmet deco... but this is better. It's great, I love it, and I'm glad they did it.

Club Mordle Year 2 Drop 1 Up Now

If you're a club member, Club Mordle is live!  The EGD Jumbo Mordle (Yellow, Pac-Man esque) is joined by the Electra-Geist ten pack of clear blue figures, Ardaan's Mist (clear colorless with green eyes), and a couple of bonuses I dare not spoil in this post.

http://toyfinity.com/memberstore.php

You have until Tuesday, July 15 to place your order as a club member.  We were also informed club packets are due in September or October, so there's that to look forward to.  

I do not have a non-club drop date yet, but odds are it'll be after July 15.  I'm excited!

Review: Onell Design Glyos Crayboth Gryganull Action Figure


Onell Design Glyos Crayboth Gryganull Action FigureThe Crayboth Gryganull is another painfully complex name to spell - how the Onell Design crew come up with these titles is beyond my creative capacity, but I applaud them for it. The colors reminded me of DX Callgrim Fragarian, a 2012 release and (I believe) the most recent figure from that line I've picked up. The colors don't match - but it certainly does carry forward a Strawberry Shortcake sort of motif, or maybe it also recalls some Japanese line I haven't seen yet. Regardless, Gryganull is paired with the green Grellanym, which is basically its opposite. The two starred in a really fun shooter game posted on Onell Design last May, where you had the two little guys escaping a block base. Good times.
