Review: Outer Space Men Cosmic Radiation Astrodite Action Figure

I love glow figures, but too much of a good thing is possible. Cosmic Radiation Astrodite stayed in her baggie since I got her in 2018! White Star is still bagged, but I opened Astrodite Infinity Edition [FOTD #2,025] immediately. She's good! But the allure of repaints diminishes as time goes on - especially when it's a repaint of a figure you have to look like another figure you have. I'd love to see more variations on this mold, and while glow is exactly the kind of thing I want (and bought) she's just another glowing figure on a shelf of glowing figures. Excellent, but not special.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Pheyden Bio Phantom Action Figure

Clear white? Why not! Pheyden Bio Phantom is a color of plastic we don't see in toys very much. We've had milky blue Game Boy Advance systems and all sorts of clear colorless plastic, but other than Ahsoka's white lightsabers I have a hard time pointing to other action figures using this unique color. Pheyaos, Glyans, and Manglord figures were also released in these colors - plus some appropriate accessories.

Review: Healey Made Trooper (Shadow) Action Figure

The latest! Trooper (Shadow) should look familiar - it takes the Trooper (Bulloch) [FOTD #2,502] from a few months ago, and applies the Raider (Shadow) [FOTD #2,157] deco from way back in 2019. You know it's exciting because this figure sold out quickly, but it came with a warning - two more Shadow figures are coming soon! Healey confirmed on Instagram that Shadow Raider version 2 is coming, along with a Shadow Assassin. The Shadow Raider will have some minor paint modifications, while the Shadow Assassin is alll-new - the Assassin (R-Complex) [FOTD #2,334] from 2021 is similar, but not identical. It looks like all four Shadow figures can easily swap parts so you can mix and match new figures, if you had the foresight to buy them all.

Review: Cappy Space Guardian Diver Action Figure

Several flavors of the Perfect Diver from the Toy Pizza crew came and went before I got the Guardian Diver Action Figure from Cappy Space. I'm trying to not get every last recolor - despite what reviews here may show - so I picked one that really spoke to me. The design is a great mix that reminds me of the Playmobil and Adventure People deep sea diver figures while also fitting in well with the whole Knights of the Slice thing. Also you get little jellyfish and manta ray heads, which basically serve as sidekicks or backpacks too. You get a lot of toy here for $32.

Review: Toy Pizza Zoner Capsule GITD Vehicle

I waited probably too long to get the Zoner Capsule GITD Vehicle. I was happy with the silver one [FOTD #2,551] but the more I thought about it, the less I wanted to fingerprint it up, and I wanted something else to play with to see how the unique "worn" and "dented" surface played out. When I got the Crowkin, I tossed in the two glow capsules. They're still utterly charming for entirely different reasons.

Glyos Onell Design April 16 2023 Drop Menu

Onell Design has a new drop up! Check out the new wave here because it has Armorvor, Manglor, Pheyden, Crayboth, and additional action.

For some reason, two figures did not go up on time.  Pheyden Pteragorr was an all-green figure, while the Crayboth Emissary still has no photo at this time.  But click here to see if the store updated. 

For future toy fanatics: as I write this, the drop went up 30 minutes late and has been up for about 70 minutes. It does not appear
