New Onell drop this Sunday:
>Exile Deniken leads a new assortment that will be arriving this Sunday, June 5th at 9:30PM EDT over in our store. We're hustling to wrap up a couple surprises for this wave that might make a few of you old-timers happy.
>Lots of moving parts had to fall into place for this round to finally come to fruition, so we're extra psyched to share the results with you.
>More pics are on deck!
Battle Tribes drop on the June 8th or so, mainly unpainted "Tribe Builder" figures.

Glad to see there's finally another drop. Very interesting what he's saying about it. What do you think that means?
Will it be more cross-figures with mixed mold parts from other Glyos producers? Will it be new molds entirely? Will it be some sort of throwback to one of the earliest drops or colorways? Excited to find out.
Try to build the smallest humanoid robot you can put of your glyos pieces.
Here's mine.
>>5707236
>pump-a-bump
Crystar homage?
>>5710336
Nah, just a random build.
>tfw Govie's and Oldxellis' molds are gone
>>5710941
If you've got one of the heads you can use smooth-on silicone mold kit and smooth on 65D poly resin kit to make yourself more. I was doing it with some of my glyos parts recently.
>>5710958
Bootlegger!
>UPDATE (Release bumped to Monday): Exile Deniken leads a new assortment that will be arriving this Monday, June 6th at 9:30PM EDT
bleh
And now a new bitch-fest takes hold of the community: Matt not putting up lists because he wants it to be a "surprise" vs. people saying they want to know what's available in advance to budget money/decide if they want to sit in front of a computer at sale time
>>5710941
Oh, people actually miss Govie now? The Govurom heads flowed like water back in the day. I was sick of the damn things, it felt like you'd get one just for showing up to the drop. I sold a big batch of them a while back just to get rid of my excess.
Ehhh....I don't know. It's kinda cool, but money is tight right now, and I don't LOVE love it. And I definitely don't need any more Gatekeeper stuff.
>>5716910
I was always a fan of govurom. But I agree, we were kinda over run with them.
>>5716914
Looks like ZRU colors n the other Pheyden but without detail lines it looks a bit shit. What's the point of adding to former ranks if they stand out like a sore thumb? At least the last time we got updated ZED stuff it was the dark travelers, in their only release to see detail lines.

#Glyos
Let's get it rolling
HOLY FUCK ITS OSM
>>5718511
Just about to post this.
That's awesome. I got it, the matching cray, and the armodoc.
>>5718470
>go to chat
>it's empty
JUST
>>5718545
I hate to say it, but glyos might actually be kill. There's not much activity and no one seems excited anymore. Although I'll still buy the fuck out of battle tribes.
>>5718511
Man that looks really cool, but I can't justify the international shipping on only 1 figure, I'm not really digging the rest of the selection so unfortunately I have to pass this up.
>>5718557
Well, did you try the actual official chat on glyosconnect?
>>5718511
I always liked Orbitron's design, except for him being bright pink. So this is perfect.
Bumping for no particular reason.
It's hysterical to me, that among all the Glyos customizers who do such shit work that they try to sell for way more than its worth, it TJ fucking Omega who is probably doing the best stuff.
This a Krang style Crayboth. He also did a Metaluna homage Mushi and a NES AV robot.
>>5724385
>thinning paints
A concept unknown in the Glyos fandom.
>>5724422
Chunky, chalky, crumbly paint jobs are the new black. You guys will look back on this era and realize that Mutt and Erisco were visionaries.
Metaluna OSM is pretty cool.
>>5727590
>Onell finally releases OSM
>$4H finally btfo
>no Axis joints in matching colors
>no Swing joints AT ALL
About time there was a new colorway for the skeleton.
>>5729003
What shop?
>>5728015
He's done one before i think. Xodiac in Pheyden colors.
Wonder what's up with "I'll release stuff when I'm damn good and ready to get this thumb out of my ass" Kent and his announcement of "new product in late May/Early June" being "on track"?
>>5729274
Goes on sale Tuesday at octobertoys.com.
>>5729809
The Glyos stores attempt to coordinate releases so they give some room. Onell just dropped, OT next, followed by Battle Tribes and probably Kabuto Mushi, and then Robo Force before the next Onell drop.
>>5731359
Looks like crap
>>5731511
it looks like all of the others. he needs the 1.5 or some of those resin heads to finally hit the factory
>>5731511
>>5731533
He made a post early this week showing more retail comic shops carrying his and his friends products. So it appears that his toys are going strong still. Not sure why collectors like to trash successful indy toy creators. Jealousy I guess. I'm just thankful marty puts everything he has into his toy lines and his friends toy lines. More cool and unique toys for me! I just hope he is at designercon again. I missed it last year and my friends that got to go said he is super cool and funny as hell.
>>5731511
Clownshoe, such a hater. What a fucking little bitch.
>>5731533
Money must grow on trees for you. He just made the giant vinyl beetle at the end of last year. Do you have any idea how expensive these guys costs are to make their toys in the factory? None of them are Mattel or Hasbro, they are everyday talented guys making their own toys, which I'm thankful for that. Some of the posts here are so ridiculous. I got an idea, cut these guys cashiers checks to fund your suggestions.
>>5731359
I wonder if that's supposed to be black and gold, because that'd be pretty badass. Insignia mean anything?
>>5731784
He posted on his blog the new tampo represents the kabuto sect of important mushi. I bet your right, it will be black and gold, which will be powerful as fuck!
Sleestak
>>5731423
Yeah, I know that's how the usually do it. This isn't my first rodeo. But they haven't been "coordinating/using the same colors in bulk" for the last few waves. Marty ran off a bunch of Kabutos in colors not associated with a Glyos wave. Last Roboforce release Kent put out was the small run of black Zeroid figures not related to a Glyos colorway, back in February. Matt's cranked out 4-5 waves since January.
My point is that supposedly new stuff was going to be out by now, but historically, Kent drags his ass on releasing product.
> Planet Banimon
>Just got confirmation from China that the new wave will be ready by the end of the month, so we're probably looking after the first week of July for the release.
>I should also mention that this drop will feature a brand new contained build using a mold from a sister Glyos company.
>>5731767
>unironically defending statueshit
I have r e a l l y bad news for you, my friend
>>5731511
No, it looks fucking awesome. Go fuck yourself with an industrial power drill.
>>5731767
Or this.
>>5735789
I'm surprised Marty hasn't done an Ultimate Kuuga homage.
>>5736001
Heard he's waiting to do a whole rider wave.
>>5734656
>Not tgb
Yeah right. The way marty types so fucking easy to spot man.
>>5737424
So fucking cool!
>>5716910
I feel he needs his own body, armor, scarves, etc... its about time we got a proper glyos bad guy, other than the 'hide in sarvos' phanost.
>>5737424
Doing collaboration w/ spymonkey?!?
>>5737733
Super DX. There was a previous one, but this has more pieces like scarfs on the legs.
>http://glyos.wikia.com/wiki/Hornet_Mushi
So is godbeasts site down or something? Can't get it to load on anything
He has a blogpost about it and that the store will be hosted on www.mwotr.com tonight.
Looks like it's back up. GODBEAST.com
Is anybody else still waiting for TGB to ship their order?
The only reason I ask is Marty is usually super fast - usually shipping the next day. I only ordered the DX Mushi, and the tracking is still in "shipping label created" status, which usually means they haven't taken the package to the PO yet.
>>5746680
I don't care.
>>5746680
Maybe he's making sure he gets his money before shipping them out.
Kent's new stuff looks neat for tomorrow's sale!
>>5751201
I'm wondering if these guys have another face on the back of their heads.
>>5751758
Matt made a blog post about showing what it took to design them coming up, so maybe we'll get a hint of it there.
>>5751758
Spaced Out Design has more mecha coming this weekend
>>5751758
I'm wondering if Matt finally made the Delphi and Kent is ripping it off with stupid paint masks and colors to be the first to release it.
>>5752425
No, that's literally the Knight of Darkness from STAR Team (done in red instead of black) that Kent's been teasing for a couple years or so.
Dull day at work so I decided to finally figure out which of skeleton warriors joints are "Glyos comparable" vs "Glyos like"
I'm sure someone's done it before but here's my list:
>Not compatible
Elbows
Wrists
Ankles
>Comparable
Everything else.
Neck
Shoulders
Middle spine
Pelvis
Hips (surprisingly)
Knees
Shoulders and hips are rather loose. When skeleton is the male end.
>>5751758
Who makes this?
>>5753522
It's brand new.
Drops tonight at toyfinity.
New Toyfinity drop is literally JUST the new Zeroid and the Glyos crossover. No Roboforce in red.
Nice to see him finally putting some product out, but talk about "playing it safe"...
>>5754366
Are you ever happy?
>>5754444
Kent is a master of disappointments.
Releases like twice a year, runs a shitty club, doesn't coordinate colors, etc.
>>5754595
Cruel and Brutal shipped in Dec
Nazgar Super Zeroid Black, Assassin in Feb
Hunter and Darkness Soldier in June
Plus two releases from Matt this year
>>5754444
Ecstatic. I bought two Zeroids and one Darkness trooper. I've just rarely seen someone waste a nostalgic property so badly.
Kent is easily the least coordinated, least approachable member of the Glyos group and the one who seems to have the least idea of what he's doing.
Big ideas, poor execution
>>5754629
> two releases from Matt
Can't count those as Kent really had dick-all to do with the Glyos Zeroid/Roboforce releases; All Matt has to do is ask "Hey, Kent? Can I do a run of those molds that I sculpted for you using plastic that I'm footing the bill for? Thanks." In those cases, Kent's not really producing anything
Pretty funny. Kent's personal ball lickers didn't cause a sell out of his candy cane mustache figs. Matt starts posting about his designs for them and bam! Less than 12 hrs they sell out. Dumb fuck!
>>5755682
">candy cane mustache"
>Our complete wave 2 drop! July 1st 9pm EST. Each figure includes 6 heads, 3 weapons, a shield and armor! Stay tuned for more photos!!
>>5753282
Yeah, I remember that stupid April Fool's poster that wasn't actually an April Fool's joke, but was really a Toyfinity press release that he wanted to make a Knight of Darkness.

>>5756468
How are these guys?
>>5762225
They are honestly my favorite glyos thing. They're pretty great.
>>5762228
That being said I don't really care for any of the new colora, but might pick up another green and flesh one of I can. I prefer realistic colors to the bright purple and translucent ones.
>>5762225
They're cool, more of a motu/remco knock off mini action figure than glyos. You can't really build or do much with them, other than swap their own parts.
>>5763630
Not a lot of "buildability", like creative uses, but you can do some fun swaps.
>>5763887
>>5763957
You get 6 heads, 3 weapons, and a shield. $15 actually feels pretty worth it in hand.
>>5763960
Fuck it, I'll get one and see how I like it.
>>5753336
Should also be noted that the Skeleton neck piece gives us something many of us have wanted for a long time--a Glyos-to-balljoint adapter. Has anyone tested any alt heads with the Skeleton balljoint yet, to see what'll fit?
Reminder that Battle Tribes wave 2 drops tonight.
>>5767801
Oh yeah. Thanks, anon.
I got a question for you guys: How does one get started making these things? Like, how do you get glyos compatible figures made? Because a lot of these shops seem pretty small, like one guy just running a website and selling a few hundred little figures. I assume they must be doing the sculpts and then sending them off to be manufactured somewhere before selling them themselves.
How do you do that? Cause I've been making little figures for myself for a while now and I kinda wanna get a set of these things made and sell them.
>>5770023
Come up with a design, talk to Matt, prototype it out, and have at least $10k to 15k to part with from start to production.
>>5770091
Seems like a lot for what it is. Do you know anything about the processes used or how its manufactured? I ask because the Glyos part is interesting but I'm more just interested in how all these little groups seem to be manufacturing figures.
>>5770107
It seems like exactly what it is. Making this stuff ain't cheap, homey.
>>5770163
Eh. The plastic in bulk is cheap, the machines exist, they're just injecting plastic into a mold. The thing you tend to pay for is the effort of the makers. You could get a few hundred figures made for a few hundred bucks, but no factory is gonna want to make a few hundred, not when they could be running the line to make 50,000. You pay them for their time.
I was just wondering if these guys had found some way around that since they seem to be doing small batches.
>>5770107
>>5770179
Did you know that tooling steel molds is very, very expensive in and of itself? This is one reason why companies are so wild about mold reuse--it helps recoup the high cost of cutting one in the first place. And trust me, in the Glyos world, nobody is doing "small batches." Maybe small batches at a TIME, but those molds are gonna be run for years and years to come in various colors, which as I just stated, helps eventually pay for itself.
If you can't afford injection molding in China like all the big guys, you can do one-off resin or polyurethane casts at home. It's cheaper and more accessible, but takes more work on your part.
And no, they haven't found some secret workaround. Matt and co pay the high prices just like anyone else. This is why it's a big deal to get new production PVC figures--a LOT of the third party Glyos community is still toiling away in resin because they can't afford to make that jump.
