No, I've no idea what's going on either, but the above image is just one of the many teasers released by Onell Design featuring their latest creation, The Block.
Thankfully, Phillip Reed - owner/creator of Battlegrip and friend of Onell Design's Matt Doughty - has the inside line. Although they're still shrouded in mystery, Phillip - who got to play around with the prototype Blocks during a visit to Onell HQ back in October of last year - explains some of their core functions:
Building
As its name implies, The Block is a building toy. Stack several together to form a tower, line up two or three to create a wall, or design a paper backdrop and use The Block as a base to create your own cardboard and plastic playset. And with a hairdryer, dremel, and a hobby knife you can further customize the toy by cutting out pre-marked spots where other Glyos System vinyl toys can be brought into your creation.
Sarcophagus
In the interview posted at Plastic and Plush Matt Doughty says: “It serves as a homage to the capsules that the Microman/Micronauts used . . . “
So The Block can act as a container or tiny vehicle for your Glyos System action figures. And if you combine this with the customization options things start to get . . . weird.
You can learn more - well, actually you can't, but you should still go anyway - at the Onell Design Blog and Battlegrip's close-up look at The Block.
