Fez - What’s this? Another inspired, beautiful and creative indie game? We are truly living in gaming’s greatest era. There’s too much for me to play out there, but I will find the time for this. Watch IGN’s video review.

50 Greatest Designer Toys by Gino Joukar

This is an article over on complex.com written by Gino Joukar, owner of Toy Art Gallery in LA. He knows his stuff. Pay attention.

These are some Jeff Lamm vinyl offerings from Monster Worship and Unbox Industries. I’ve been admiring Greasebat for a while now. The combo of a classic illustration esthetic and kaiju sensibilities makes for a fun poppy figure. The other three act as excellent companion (opponent?) pieces. I wish I could get them all in these colour ways, but I may have to settle on some blanks and paint them up.

My Sorceress/Fisto/Shadow Weaver shipment finally came. I nerdily documented it for  posterity. There’s lots of great stuff coming this year, but these are definitely some of the high points this year. It’s cool to get them all at the same time.

The Travellers are the good guys. The Gendrones are fighting for their freedom. The Sincroids are just plain bad. They are aliens that want nothing but power and chaos. Attacks on Glyan colonies are their main source of entertainment and this leads to many conflicts with the Travelers and the Glyan military.

These were a blast to make. I was able to take the extra heads from the Echo Morph figure, combine it with a bunch of clear purple and black Buildmen, mix in some Phase arm sets, Axis joint sets and some Callgrim Warp Gear. I obsessed over my parts choices until every character design was dynamic and balanced.

I feel I got an insect-like, evil look to them. I even painted in a few details here and there to make things pop.

This ends the posts on my Glyos collection for now. Hopefully I’ll have more to show soon. Matt and his crew have some intriguing looking releases lined up for a Friday drop. I still need a Glyan military presence in my collection, so this might be my chance!

My Glyos (Onell Design) figures builds. Part 3.

This is my Gendrone team. Artificial life is exploited and abused in throughout the Glyos System. Some of them manage to break free of their programming and fight back. 

One of my main drives in collecting is building teams (you’ll see this in my Cobra squads some day). Building Glyos is the perfect outlet for this compulsion because you can mix and match until each figure has a unique design but they all still retain a complementary aesthetic. 

I saved the best for last. Next up is my Sincroids.

This is my version of Callgrim. He’s another Traveller that is often seen working with Pheyden.

The makers of the Glyos figures have lots of little stories surrounding their figures. I take inspiration from those and come up with my own factions and teams.

Next up, the Gendrones, rogue AI systems that have reconfigured themselves into a varied and deadly strike team.

I only had a limited amount of parts to work with, so I’m pretty happy with the balance I was able to strike.

This is Pheyden. He’s a Glyan that has evolved beyond his humanoid form and become a Traveler (Galactic Protector).

His parner Callgrim is coming up in a future post as well as some other factions I’ve put together.
