NEWS: Upcoming Glyos Drop ''The Middle of This Month''

News over at the Glyos Transmission Web Log of a new drop coming in the middle of February.

In a quick update, Matt showed-off a couple of shots of this stunning blue Exellis, which he says matches pretty closely to the Cosmic Wave Pheyden released some years ago, plus the clear blue pieces from the Four Horsemen's Outer Space Men Phase series.

The Exellis here is shown sporting the matching blue Axis Joints, which will also be part of the drop.

No word yet on other pieces or dates, so stay tuned!

NEWS: Sarvos Mini Coming From Onell and RealXHead

Onell Design has announced their first release for 2011: the Sarvos Mini.

Designed in collaboration with the RealXHead crew, this ''Super-Deformed'' vinyl version of Sarvos comes with four points of articulation (neck, shoulders and waist) and stand at around 3''.  Retailing at $35 (with no word on any purchase limit yet) the Sarvos Mini is (tentatively) scheduled to go on-sale on January 14th at 8PM EST (storms permitting.)

Matt also gave an update on the Glyos Axis Joints, stating that a restock of the highly-popular pieces was due ''before the month is over'' and that we may even be seeing some additional colours added to the line.

More details are available at the Glyos Transmission Web Log.

UPDATE: The Sarvos Minis are now sold-out.

NEWS: Onell Design's ''Henshin Wave'' Now Available

The previously mentioned Henshin Wave of Glyos figures is now available at Onell Design's website.

Matt Doughty posted an update to accompany the new drop, describing it as ''a simple, fun release that brings us back to the days of finding a brand new figure on the shelves'' that pays tribute to Takara's Henshin Cyborg and Mel Birnkrant's Outer Space Men. 

The new wave sees the return of some old favourites plus the introduction of some superb new colour-options.

NEWS: New Glyos Wave ''Coming Thursday''

Matt Doughty of Onell Design has released more details - along with some stunning pictures - of the new wave of Glyos figures.

According to Matt's post on the Glyos Transmission Web Log, Onell Design are ''on track for a Thursday launch this week.''  No details of a time are available yet but if past experience is anything to go by, I'd anticipate a drop-time somewhere between 8 and 9 PM EST (that's GMT -5 for non-US visitors!)

Although this is a full production run of figures (so numbers should be plentiful) it's worth noting that this is also the first wave to include the amazing new Axis Joints and that demand for them - and the glow-in-the-dark and clear figures also in this release - will be high, so don't dally when it comes to getting your orders in.

We'll update you as and when we have any news but in the meantime, why not prime yourself with the latest chapter of the Gendrone Chronicles?

UPDATE: Matt has confirmed the drop for tomorrow, at 10PM EST.  Hit the link for full details of what's in store. 

NEWS: New Wave of Glyos Figures ''Next Week''

Matt Doughty of Onell Design has posted a few preview images of the upcoming wave of Glyos figures.

As we previously mentioned, Matt has cited Takara's classic Henshin Cyborg as a big influence on this wave and nowhere is that more evident than with the purple Phanost pictured here, which is clearly Matt's tribute to my favourite bad guy, King Walder.

This wave is also the first to incorporate the Axis Joint System, a newly designed joint set that allows for a greater level of poseability and articulation.

The post at the Onell Design Transmission Blog also teases a ''next week'' release date for these toys, which, despite being a full production run (rather than a custom drop) I'm sure will sell-out very quickly.

More as we get it.

NEWS: Onell Design Previews ''Henshin Force'' Glyos

It's no secret that the guys and girls at Onell Design are fans of Microman and the Micronauts, so it comes as no surprise to see their upcoming Glyos drop paying homage to another classic toy from Takara.

Taking their cue from the Henshin Cyborg range of toys, the figures are not only a tribute to the line that started it all, but - more importantly for Glyos fans - look to be the first  full-production wave to use the new Axis Joint System.  An earlier run of pre-production prototype joints sold out in under 10 minutes, so you know demand for this wave will be high!

Glyos collectors will already know this isn't the first time Onell Design have paid tribute to the Henshin Cyborg line: an early custom release featured a number of ''Walshin'' figures, including the incredible Walshin Phanost, a superb homage to the ultimate bad guy, King Walder, but this is the first time we've seen a full production run.  

No further details are available yet, but we'll keep you posted.

UPDATE: Matt Doughty of Onell Design has confirmed that these are indeed full production runs and will include transparent Gendrone Buildmen, Sincroids, Travelers, Axis Joints and Phase Arm sets.  He also commented that white, black, grey and green glow-in-the-dark Axis Joints are also on the cards and more details will be released early next week.

NEWS: More Glyos Axis Joint Goodness

Matt over at Onell Design has posted some more shots of the awesome new Axis Joints in action, showcasing the new levels of poseability and articulation they bring.

No news yet on when the production-run version of the joints will be available - the NYCC preview-run sold out in under 10 minutes last week - but when we know, you'll know!

NEWS: New Glyos Releases Coming Today

Onell Design has announced that we'll be seeing some new releases later today.

Following their success at the NYCC, Matt and his team are rolling-out a new concept: ''Extra Sets,'' a run featuring bonus parts for customising your Glyos army.

Set one includes a Sarvos and Phanost head (pictured) along with a new chest and pelvis piece.  They're both painted in the Gears Edge scheme (and look awesome!)

Set number two features a white Pheyden and Scar Pheyden head, chest and pelvis with painted eyes, intended as a companion set to Enforcer Sarvos.

Most exciting of all, though, is that we'll finally be able to get our hands on the new axis joints system.  The axis joints - which are fully compatible with previous Glyos releases - allow a new dimension of poseability and movement, whilst retaining the same chunky, solid styling.

The pack (pictured) also contains one set of joints plus the previously-teased production run Govurom head.  This is confirmed on the Onell Design blog.

Pricing is - as ever - very fair: the Extras Packs and Joints Pack costs a mere $4 US each.  Shipping is extra, but most orders under $10 ship for $3.

So make sure you're around today at 2PM EST when these new releases hit: chances are they won't be around for long!

EDIT: The new releases are up!  Note that Matt has requested a limit of FOUR joint packs per buyer.

EDIT #2: The axis joints have sold-out in under 10 minutes.  Extras Packs are still available here and you'll find the Gears Edge Pheyden here.

NEWS: Onell Design Preview New Joints System

Matt and his team at Onell Design have posted a sneak peek of their upcoming NYCC wares, including the awesome new joint system.  As you can see from the images, it looks like Pheyden and phriends (ha!) have been hitting the gym pretty hard.

No news yet on when the new joints - which are fully backward-compatible with the old system - will be available but as soon as we know, we'll let you know.

NEWS: Sneak Peek at the New Glyos Joint System

Changes are afoot over at Onell Design.

Matt and his fellow Glyos-ians have announced a new joint system and provided some nice close-ups of the upcoming modifications in action.  As you can see the new system grants a much higher level of poseability and mobility to the figures, whilst retaining the same chunky feel and aesthetics of the Glyos line.

No details yet on when we'll be able to get our hands on them, but keep checking Onell Design for more updates!
