Spy Monkey is making a new MOTU-type Glyos line. Full reveal is coming April 1st (Brian's already said it's not a prank despite the date.)

Heard spymonkey contacted tgb and he oversaw the protos being done with truecast, so they should be good. Seems like he has had his hand in several sister company projects: mwotr, walkingdud, avrobot, zullbeast, galaxxor, battletribes, and hopefully biomasters soon.

Marty is like the goto guy for sculpting these days. I'm sure Matt does his own thing and holds down the front, but Marty is seriously second in command.

This guy's right, unfortunately. Glyosconnect.org is where the shit's really going down though. A lot less abrasive people there too, from my experiences.

Sure looks that way. I wonder why Jesse hasn't been releasing more Callgrim or jumbo Callgrims. He really lost his pole position in the Glyos system. Callgrim is such badass figure to be wasting away.

Spy Monkey Creations Inc, creators of the Weaponeers of Monkaa, are proud to unveil their new brand, Battle Tribes: Weapons & Warriors.

Battle Tribes is a new 2.5” action figure line compatible with Onell Design’s innovative Glyos System of interchangeable articulation. “I wanted to take Spy Monkey in a new direction with our new brand. So I tried to imagine what kind of action figure line I would have wanted as a kid growing up in the early 1980’s,” explains Spy Monkey Inc President Jeremy Sung. “The result was Battle Tribes, a series inspired by the sword and sorcery fantasy adventure genre combined with the pocket-sized fun and interchangeability of the Glyos System. If all goes according to plan, this first wave will be the beginning of a whole world of Battle Tribes products.”

The debut assortment of Battle Tribes includes 4 action figure & accessory sets with deluxe paint apps. Each figure has 10 points of interchangeable articulation and includes removable armor, 3 weapons, shield and 5 bonus heads, a total of 21 Glyos compatible parts, allowing consumers to build their own tribes and create their own adventures!

Characters in wave 1 include:

Savage Adventurer - Fearless barbarian hero. US$15.00
Nomadic Orc - Bestial green-skinned wanderer. US$15.00
Cyclops Ice Raider - Mysterious marauder with the power of ice.
US$15.00
Crimson Spikesaurian - Powerful primeval dino warrior.
US$15.00

Unpainted solid color Tribe Builder DIY sets will also be available:

Tribe Builder Pale Flesh US$10.00
Tribe Builder Orcskin Green US$10.00
Tribe Builder Ice Blue US$10.00
Tribe Builder Crimson US$10.00

Battle Tribes: Weapons & Warriors Wave 1 will go on sale at 6:00pm PST, Friday April 8th, 2016 in the Spy Monkey Creations Webstore.

Build your Tribe, join the Battle!

People would if they were from the creators. No one wants to buy customs from ersico and mutt and all those other guys because literally every guy with a paintbrush and a glyos figure started making them. Some of them are badass, some of them are shit, but when you have 50 guys pumping out 2 $30 customs every week in a group of 100 fans no one is going to buy.

But official, occasional, timed out CCs would sell like fire. The Banimon CC from a couple months back sold out almost right away.

Outside of Spymonkey, Marty's the only one who's posted any pictures.

They look like a lot of fun imo. I really like the orcs especially. And I appreciate that each figure comes with like 5 heads.

That's why I'm debating to grab two of them when they come out. Wish they were a little bigger, but two will help me decide if I want the others.

I'm thinking two orcs and guy. I don't really like the default human head, but the one with the wolf mask is awesome. And the orcs just look great in general.

The red and blue ones don't really do it for me.

They are fucking gone!

I didn't think they'd sell out that fast.
>>
>>5596999
Oh damn, they are. That's surprising. Glad I got my order in then. Although I almost wonder if something didn't go wrong and they had to hide the listings? I don't know; even new onell stuff usually doesn't sell that fast.

wolf mask FTW, and yes green orc is amaze-balls
>>
>>5596999
I guess you're retarded then. Obv. fast sellout.
>>
>>5597367
Yep. Like I said, I wish I could have gotten two, but hopefully we'll see either another run of this wave (they are army builders, after all) or some other nice skins tones. Or even just the same green/flesh and different colored paint apps; that would work too.
>>
>>5597396
Yeah, that orc head is on the mold, so we're gonna keep seeing it in various colors. A multi-colored army might be better than a bunch of the same anyway.
>>
>>5597500
True true. Various shades of olive drab and human flesh tones would look pretty cool.

I'm finding myself more excited about this line than I have been about glyos for a little while. A fantasy injection is apparently what I needed. (Except for TGB's vinyl, I was hyped for that.)
>>
It is nice to have some different genres represented. Maybe a "GIJoe" type real world army line?
>>
>>5599128
>Maybe a "GIJoe" type real world army line?
I don't think Matt likes "guns" so much which is why the closest we got was Task Force Volkriun and the throwback 4H figures in Glyos style. So would he approve someone else trying modern Soldiers in Glyos? Maybe Army Men style?
>>
>>5599571
Plus there's Banimon. Very stylized, but definitely soldiers.

This has been a very bittersweet couple of days here at SMC HQ to be sure. We were overwhelmed and elated at the reception this new line received. Our store interfaces were also overwhelmed. We had a major communications glitch between PayPal and our web store. We unintentionally underestimated the popularity of Battle Tribes by a pretty large margin. We anticipated figures being available throughout the weekend. Never could we have expected a 7 minute sell through or the oversell that followed.

We have been issuing refunds. Some partial and some full. We did our best to try and get something to as many customers as possible. We worked non-stop all weekend to sort and pack and do what we could to make our error as right as we possibly could. The real numbers: about 25 customers received partial refunds and 8 received full refunds. Those aren't numbers that we would normally release in a forum like this. And they most certainly aren't numbers we are proud of.

Making toys is a very risky endeavor and based on the popularity and sales of our previous Glyos lines we did order conservatively for this inaugural drop. We will be upping the quantities considerably for the coming waves.

We have heard and listened. Traditionally once a color way is sold through it is gone. The demand for these is so great that the first thing we are doing is putting two of the most popular figures from this first wave back into production along with their unpainted counterparts. They will be available alongside all new color ways for wave two. More on that soon.
>>
>>5603073
For those that were issued full or even partial refunds, you will be emailed individually in the coming days. You are our first priority. When the new figures arrive you will be given the first opportunity at the re-issues before they are made available in the store. Your order for those will be guaranteed. We are toy collectors too and we completely understand the frustration this situation has caused for many of you that thought they had much desired items on the way only to be disappointed. We want you to know that we are just as disappointed in this outcome as you are.

We have also concluded that our current set up for the store is not going to be able to handle the traffic or volume this line will demand. We are going to be moving to a system very similar to the one Onell uses for their drops. That work starts immediately.

As for a pre-order system. That is one that we still heavily debate. There aren't any plans to do that at the moment but it isn't entirely outside the realm of possibility for us. Part of the reason we didn't do that for this first wave is because of the lag time between the reveal and release for a pre-order model. It's easy to get excited about new pictures of coming toys. It's the waiting up to six months or more to finally get them in hand that we have never been too keen on.
It does sound ironic given that we now find ourselves in a very similar situation to one we hoped to avoid.

Know that we are working around the clock to expedite this next wave and the re-issues. Our fans and customers are extremely important to us, long timers and newcomers alike.
We love toys and we want the experience of collecting from us to be one that is exciting and enjoyable.

Bear with us as we find the solutions for these growing pains and we'll do everything in our power to make sure this kind of frustration is a one time ordeal for us all.

>tl;dr SMC is based

My question is, were the people who got the sets early to hype the product allowed to buy more drop night?
>>
Soooo apparently Spy Monkey oversold, that should put put to rest the idea that glyos is dead

Yes, it was first come first served from what I could see
>>
>>5603102
thats a lkittle unfair but whateves, new colors should be out soon enough anyways
>>
>>5600399
>>5600402
I was meaning real guns over SciFi weapons. Yes Banimon does offer pistol tops, but that seems like the extent of it. Just having talked to people at shows, I'm under the impression Matt wasn't a big fan of real weapons. Same way LEGO won't produce military toys because they don't like guns/war, but scifi weapons are totally ok. He may be fine with it if a sister company is doing it.

>>5603073
>The real numbers: about 25 customers received partial refunds and 8 received full refunds. Those aren't numbers that we would normally release in a forum like this. And they most certainly aren't numbers we are proud of.

Which is the right answer to this.
>>
>>5603079
If anything, they may have gotten their sets reduced to make it work. Besides, we're talking 1 sample set and then getting to order 1 regular offering. It's not like they were army building. Almost every multi-figure pic in the same color came from SMC.

I was getting a little burnt out on glyos, but I'll definitely but more of these.

I look forward to new skin tones and head and weapon packs.

The non-human heads look weird in muscle-flesh color. The wolf mask head is awesome as is the orc head. Umasked human is my 3rd favorite. I actually really like the orc head in flesh, it reminds me of like falmer or something. Hopefully they'll do a pale/sickly flesh color soon.

I'm not typically a fan of the he-man look and wide-stance pose, but I think it works. These definitely feel retro, but in a good way. The main body is going to be very versatile and the painted ones feel worth $15. With that quick sellout, hopefully these stay successful.

A bit of news on the next drop.

They're coming back and bringing new warriors with them!
Battle Tribes Wave 1 Reissues and new Wave 2 figures are set for release this Summer!
Returning from Wave 1 are the DX Savage Adventurer, DX Nomadic Orc and the first four Battle Builders; Pale Flesh, Orcskin Green, Crimson and Ice Blue.
Wave 2 will feature three new DX Figures as well as three new Battle Builders, to be revealed as the release date approaches!
We've significantly increased the production run and our http://www.spymonkeycreations.com address now takes you direct to our new hub, which includes our NEW online store and links to our Facebook and Redbubble stores.
Our new store features a more precise shipping matrix and it allows us to offer customers in Canada, the UK and Singapore USPS First Class shipping for small orders at a much lower rate than USPS Priority.
Lastly, in celebration of the grand opening of our new online store, we are having a sale on all Weaponeers of Monkaa Action Figures including a great Granite Wave Bundle that includes all 3 Granite Series Action Figures and a Close Combat Armory for the low price of $24!
>>
>>5616146
While I don't figure it was on purpose, them selling out and having to refund some people have probably guaranteed the success of battle tribes for a little while, at least the next couple of waves. And good for them SMC does good work, but those weaponeers just didn't do it for me, but I'm more than happy to throw some money at good old fashioned sword and sorcery.

The problem is there's so many fucking sites for glyos now, and the community was never big to begin with, that everyone seems split between them. For years it was JUST October Toys with 2 simple boards and a BST. When OT announced they were shutting down it was like everyone shit their pants and tried to find a new place to go, but in reality it just scattered people more. It doesn't help that Godbeast and other creatives in the Onell corner have made literally 25 different facebook pages for every single new release item that happens. I get it, it's social media 101, you want to try to build a brand, but you're doing it all wrong. The only people who see the pages are the same people that see the other 15 pages. So we wind up with 3 major facebook groups with all the same photos posted, another 20 minor facebook pages with just one figure in each of them, the still not dead OTF(lol), the new glyos connect which looks great but can't compete with the in your faceness of facebook and the wild west actually say what you want without getting banned ness of here, oh and a fucking tumblr and shit now. It's just all too much, and for a community that used to be basically 100 people chatting and taking pics I'm not surprised that it's died and is barely hanging on thanks to 3 people who take photos and post them in all 48 places.

Hey guys. I want to sell off my old collection to fans (I don't want to scalp them) to help with some debt. I have never sold anything before over Ebay, and would like to sell off the collection in as few chunks as possible. Any recommendations on how to go about this?
>>
>>5617698
TJOmega made is accesable so its full of /v/ kiddies now who dont put effort unless they can pay for it
>>
>>5618626
Remember eBay takes out chunks of what you make through eBay and then PayPal will do the same. GlyosConnect might be better if you want to get money back and not scalp.
>>
>>5617698
Why did the OTF stop being the official glyos forum?
Also I remember they said they were doing a major overhaul of all the forums, but still haven't.
>>
>>5618765
Because OT said they weren't sure if they would even bring the forums back and that everything there was going to get wiped out. The Glyos companies banded together, made the new home. OT keeps pushing off their "desperately needed server work" last I saw.
>>
>>5617698
This is a pretty good breakdown of what happened actually. It's sad.

>>5618765
For reasons, OctoberToys had to shut down their forum and everything was gonna be lost. So everyone started panicking and looking for a place to migrate to. Onell themselves put up a new Glyos forum for everyone to move to. Then in the end the OctoberToys forum never did actually die? I don't think we ever got a clear clarification on why it didn't or what really happened.
>>
>>5617698
I'm honestly surprised glyos doesn't have an active reddit. The image posting nature of the site seems perfect for the fan base.

It's really hard to find any of the story behind the characters too... I'm a big fan of Callgrim, but other than a few short summaries I haven't found basically any fluff for them. I know Roboforce has a comic, but other than that are there any archives of history for the toy lines?

The lore is passed on mainly by word of mouth now.

There's so much of it in the comics, games, drop blurbs, and blog comments that it's hard to keep track of.

Series 4 is pretty darn good...easily the best since series 1. This line could regain momentum, but now that the OT forum traffic has been sufficiently killed off it might be a lot harder.

Story goes that when the voting for series 2 was going on /toy/tards went over to the October Toys Forum and spam-voted Shirtle until he was a top runner. I have no idea if that story is legit or not. The only figure that was actually spam-voted for sure was Pugnacious in series 3.

The fantastic illustration shown above was created by Pat Bussey, the man behind the awesome Bio-Masters range of resin figures.

Over the past few years Pat has been working under the guidance of the one and only Marty "The Godbeast" Hansen to bring his concepts and drawings to life, releasing small runs of completely hand cast resin Glyos compatible Bio-Masters figures. By combining their abilities, Pat's original designs were brought into reality through Marty's excellent sculpting, resulting in an awesome and refreshing new property pulled directly from a 1980's bio-mechanical fever dream.

We've been working with Pat and Marty behind the scenes to bring the Bio-Masters line into full production for 2016, so keep your eyes open and your brain cells primed to explore another strange universe filled with tentacled monsters and creepy mutants galore!

Thank you for the killer drawing, Pat!

Hey all, I've never bought Gylos before-- I would read up if there was a guide but as there is none forgive my ignorance.

Don't talk shit if you don't know shit. You've got like, half the facts at best. Yes, there were mass spam votes for Shirtle, but they were pretty much all from the same IP. It was the act of one overzealous idiot. And it didn't "derail OMFG," all that happened was George checked the IPs, removed the dupe votes, and business continued on as normal.

And if you meant "spam vote" not in the sense of dupe votes, but simply in the sense that /toy/ went over there to vote...well fucking duh we did. Shirtle was designed by one of our own /toy/ soldiers, so no shit we showed support. That's not against the rules or wrong in any way, and it's VERY different from the Pugnacious situation (the artist for that one solicited votes from dog communities who had no stake in the toy game at all and had no intention of ever even buying any figures).

Pugnacious definitely sucks, but let's all get back to the foundational point that Shittle ruined OMFG. Series 2 was the worst series we've seen by A LOT and the stupid figure was backed by a bunch of homos that never bought the sets. The proof is all the stupid series 2 sets still in various retailer stock and that many of those retailers were never able to go ahead with more product as they just sat on this absolute shit series.

The fan base was energized and series 1 was going good, then dickholes messed with the voting for series 2 and we got a series that people who will buy the product didn't really want. That's a recipe for disaster. Thanks /toy/ for rigging the vote for Shittle and whatever other crap got in that series...there were 3 sub-par figures that people manipulated. Shittle was just the most obvious shining example of a cool project gone WRONG!!!
