The Gendrone color for this wave was metallic purple, and it is fierce. I grabbed one of everything and some joints, but some people bought a ton more and have made some spectacular Shockwave-esque heavy builds.




The Glyans have their own Warp Bikes now, using the new vinyl design that debuted as Callgrim's ride. For Glyos use, Matt switched out the skull-head front piece with a Rig arm to pretty convincing effect. Love that safety orange Glyan, too.




The big debut for the release was the Block, which consists of the two square center parts in the pic above. On their own they act like a vinyl equivalent to the Microman cases. They're jointed in the middle with a ring the same diameter as the waist on the Rig and Armodoc, and there are a couple of strategically placed circle details that can be cut out to add other parts. They were sold colored like the bike above, and in blank black for customization. Having grabbed one and some arm packs, I cannot wait to paint up this baby Rig powersuit build, and can't wait to see what people do with more of them!

Anyway, it's been a while since I've posted any real content in this thread. I've done a little recent catching up in the Glyos universe. First up, I grabbed a couple Glyans from the last Onell drop. Very Zentraedi-themed colors!



These figures come with a couple heads and a simple multi-piece gun. The sorta generic scifi head can be flipped around depending on what style you like, Metroid or Mospeada! ;) And then, there's another humanoid head that I think is Doughty's first take on such a human-looking face actually shot in injection PVC (well, besides Exellis, I suppose...but his face is larger in scale). I totally love it:



Very handsome, no? In fact, that's how Doughty refers to the Glyan figure overall: a very "handsome" form. Broad-shouldered, straight-legged, normal-sized head...not deformed like Pheyden, Exellis, and the other classic travelers. I like this style. Kinda gives me this Air Raiders or Starcom minifig vibe, y'knowmsayin?

Anyway, along with these dudes, I also grabbed some "axis joints". Holy fuck. Okay, we don't have actual ball joints for Glyos figures yet, but these things come DAMN close to being able to simulate them:



Oh, and lastly, I picked up one of the "Jetfire" Big Rigs...but I'm gonna make y'all click on the Designer Vinyl thread to see pics of it! :P

Here's a teaser shot of some painted by Ni, I think of the resins... seems to have a good eye for colors. Decent MK sprays with lots of pearls, and there's nothing wrong with that.

This guy Ni, of NiStuff has been doing Glyos heads and accessories and custom releases for a while now, but I guess Doughty has helped him create his own figures. They're all around Glyos height, cast in PVC similar to Glyos figs, and look pretty sharp. His site is here:
[www.nistuff.com]

And I guess the first real release of these in plastic will be this week. $15 for six figs around 3" in height is pretty damn good. Worth noting too is that Ni has really been doing his own thing and been fortunate to have had enough success with the resin and customs to jump into PVC on his own. I'll definitely be checking out the first release and looking forward to what he does next.

This was an experiment... We all know from Dead Pre$ident's stuff that clear painted glyos looks awesome, but I wanted to leave this Henshin Exellis build I made unpainted, so I just saturated it with Monster Kolor gloss. Now it looks like glass.

Ceekoar is one of the fringe worlds of the Glyos universe, known for its harsh gaseous environment. It is constantly under siege because deep under its cloudy exterior it was the site of many ferocious Old War battles, resulting in the inhospitable environment today. The survivors of Ceekoar were changed by the new environment and now dedicate themselves to keeping the Old War tech decaying on Ceekoar out of anyone’s hands.

The Ceekoar are a little project I have been working on since the latest drop with its build-centric releases and Axis Joints. I am going to be posting full shots and info for one figure a day for the next two weeks, after which I will post the whole squad pics and release details. I can tell you that the Ceekoar will be a five figure release, and each figure is painted with Monster Kolor.



Keep your eyes peeled on Prometheus Rising Studios for the pics as they are posted:
[prometheusrising.wordpress.com]

Forgot to post the above yesterday when it went up, so you also get today's figure spread!



Commander Caustia pics are up! This guy was my testbed figure for the Ceekoar scheme and features a metal head ;)
[prometheusrising.wordpress.com]



Commander Caustia is a veteran of many wars and has lead numerous detachments out into the Glyos-verse to battle threats to Ceekoar. Armed with the latest in Axis-armor technology, Caustia has been fighting for his homeworld for as long as anyone can remember, so long even that no member of the army remembers when Caustia was transformed into a Phanost!



Caustia wears a custom set of MF-pattern lightweight Axis Traveller armor, allowing him to outmaneuver his opponents before delivering a powerful blast from his Phase Blaster.

This brings up a good point - if there is something you know is supposed to be available and you don't see it on the table, you gotta ask Matt about it when you see him. Something like the Black Rig might have only appeared once on the table. The other artists had the table for most of the weekend.

As to the new joints & head pac, I got mine later in the afternoon, and could only assume the decision to release some at the show must have been made later in the day...when drinks and toy lovin' was affecting everybody's brains?? I wouldn't worry, as those new pieces are sure to be out for all.

Great figs for a great price. Onell joints and sizing, and header card art similar to the old Colorforms. 2 had to be gotten at AFX, and 2 from ToyTokyo.

New Tron homage Callgrim with glowie details, and the clear are rockin'
Some beautiful paint work by Matt Walker on the Gobon.
A little clear Babybiter from Paul Kaiju
Finally the gray lump is the pack of new Onell joints with a Phanost head that the boys had just gotten in.

It was great to see the Onell gang again, and the extended family, Matt Walker, Paul Kaiju, Godbeast, and a bunch more floating in and out. Refreshingly felt like a snob-free zone. Everyone was cool, and down for some toy chat. Some great works on the table, wish I could've grabbed more!

There was no day where Onell didn't sell stuff, but there were days where the timeframes were limited. If the Global Figure Symposium happens again, hopefully there will be a schedule of the times when the guest artists will be there so this kind of situation can be avoided.

I understand your frustration, but considering the chaos that was around the booth, assertiveness (in a polite and jovial manner) is fundamental.
Did you pick anything up? Most shop attendants pay attention to that - especially if you move away from the table. ;)
It's too bad you had a negative experience, and I sympathize. Since you only have influence over your own future actions, use this as an opportunity to examine your strategies and see if there can be any room for improvement on your part.
That being said, my wife and I were kinda freaked out by the high quality of customer service in San Diego. It's almost aggressively nice. When you go shopping up here in Toronto, you get a greeting, but that's about it. They leave you alone. We were treated like royalty wherever we went down there (well, except by the upset folk with the "God Hates Gays" signs who gathered outside the con).]]> RainBot The OT Sat, 31 Jul 2010 08:19:25 -0400
