NEWS: Cassette Man Studios' Animus Taa'lon Figures

Cassette Man Studios' Animus line of custom Glyos figures continues with the so-much-awesome-in-one-place Taa'lon figures, available now in a variety of Microman/Micronaut-inspired ''Micro'' colorways (along with the Big Kev's Geek Stuff exclusive NYCC colorway.) But act fast, as numbers are so limited that they'll probably all be sold by the time you finish this sentence.

NEWS: Flight Commander Now Available

We're huge fans of Gold Dober's Micronaut-inspired toys here at That Figures but I don't think anybody was prepared for just how incredible his latest creation - the Flight Commander - looks.

NEWS: More Glyos Customs from Cassette Man Studios

The last time we checked in with Cassette Man Studios we brought you the sad news that the rather cool Avian Glyos customs would probably be the last release we'd be seeing for some time. However, thanks to the strong sales of the Avian figures and the support of the toy community, CMS has been able to secure additional  funding to continue producing their rather excellent toys and - as the above teaser image shows - it looks like we might just be getting something with a Simian twist. Because everything is better with monkeys.

NEWS: Cassette Man Studios' Glyos Avians Drop Today

Sadly, due to circumstances beyond their control, Cassette Man Studios won't be producing any more toys for a while. But if you want to talk about bowing-out on a high note then look no further than these awesome custom Avians, which are set to land later today.

Retailing at $40, each Avian is a custom Glyos figure featuring four brand-new parts, two modified pieces and additional casting and detail - including his own mini-comic. They're all hand-painted and available in four colorways - but numbers are limited.

The Avians will be on sale from 10PM EST from today, June 6th 2012 through the Cassette Man Studios Store.

NEWS: Gold Dober's Flight Commander Coming Soon

It's been a while since we checked in with him but our favorite Micronauts Mad Scientist Gold Dober has been beavering away in his Micro-lab putting the finishing touches to his run of hand-built tributes to the Micronauts' Force Commander, the Flight Commander.

And now we're promised a release very soon - hopefully as early as next month. But ahead of that, why not check-out the history of this toys' production, which has proven to be a true labor of love for Gold Dober.

NEWS: Blanx Customizable Action Figures

As cool as the Dunnys and Munnys and Colorblanks are, there's always been one major flaw for me: their articulation. Or rather, lack thereof. So you can imagine how excited I was when I spotted this new line of customizable action figures, Blanx.
