Review: Toy Pizza Forest Capsule Carrying Case

I already had one in chrome, but I had to get the Forest Capsule Carrying Case too - I wanted one that didn't show fingerprints as easily as the Regen Capsule [FOTD #2,114]. It's a wonderfully simple toy, with a design that is a pastiche of the Knights of the Slice figure, the various Pharoids and related Micronauts capsule, and a hint of Kenner carrying case. As a toy, it's not terribly interesting unless you want to futz with the six Glyos ports, or are fidgety, or like putting things inside of other things. I like all of this, so I found this to be very exciting.

Review: TheGodBeast Cerulestar Nemesis Action Figure

I snagged the blue glow-in-the-dark Cerulestar Nemesis from TheGodBeast and it was the very first officially released blue glow Glyos-compatible action figure, along with Kabuto Mushi. I had not previously snagged a Nemesis (I still want to get green glow) - so this seemed like a good place to get one. The translucent coloring has blue and white painted highlights that are very nouveau Boo Berry, which is amusing as Marty's "Cereal Monster" colored figures look a bit different than this one.

Toy Pizza UV Knights - 12:00 PM Eastern Monday

Via the Toy Pizza Instagram: UV Knights!  5 figures are set to drop Monday, August 5, at about 12:00 PM Eastern time.  I don't have any UV figures but it looks like there's a nifty color-change feature and as such, I will probably have to buy one or two.

Review: Toy Pizza Regen Capsule Carrying Case with Lime Material Boy Action Figure

I spied the Regen Capsule Carrying Case with Lime Material Boy from Toy Pizza on eBay before it was announced that it existed or would go for sale and had one of those weird, visceral reactions for no good reason. I had to have it. It looks sort of like a cross between the Micronauts Pharoid and the Kenner C-3PO carry case. We've had hundreds - perhaps even thousands - of Glyos-compatible PVC figures as well as soft vinyl figures and vehicle-like figures, but those weird, useless accessories are far and few between. All of these things are basically boxes in which to cram figures, with the Micronauts one being fairly useless with storage for one figure. You could cram two, maybe three figures if dismembered into this Regen Capsule. Kenner's cases could hold an army - but are probably a wee bit expensive to make today while not being particularly useful.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Spectre Armorvor MK II Action Figure

I was going through my archives and it seems the last time this mold was released was 2017! I've still got a few of these to review - this Spectre Armorvor MK II has been sitting bagged on my desk for quite some time. I was planning on doing another "Glow in the Dark Week" but that's unlikely - so it seemed now was the right time to open this one.

Review: Onell Design Glyos OSM Colossus Rex Tyraxsis

Crossovers are far and few between in this line - cosmically speaking, anyway - as it has been nearly eight months since the last one. OSM Colossus Rex Tyraxsis must have been in the works for a long time, as I remember Matt Doughty of Onell Design talking about doing a special version back in 2011 - years before the figure even saw production for the first time - and I had no idea what he had planned for the mold. According to his notes, the Tyraxsis is a dinosaur-inspired colorway, and I see it - it looks like it would fit nearly any terrible lizard toy.

A few Toy Pizza Con exclusives are available in the Toy Pizza shop. Some sold out real quick - at press time the only one I see left is the pictured Forest Capsule.  (I have the chrome one, and love it.)

A few "second chance" items were also added and since sold - but you can get Metaruda, Old Knight Material Boy, and a few others while supplies last.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Enigma Fusion Pheyaos Enigma Fusion

I feel I am destined to lose the switch pin included with the Enigma Fusion Pheyaos Enigma Fusion. It's a tiny part and I have no real use for it - it's just there. Why Onell Design included this bonus piece with an amazing figure is beyond me - I can't do much with it here, and it doesn't make the already great figure even better.
