New Addition


I wanted to take a moment and say thank you one more time to all who took part in the Custom Corps 3 mayhem. It was personally a very unique experience as far as customizing goes, and I hope that most of you liked what showed up. Each figure means something and has relevance to the ongoing Glyos stories. One way that we wanted to show our appreciation for your collective dedication to this project was by putting together something special to follow up the release. For the first time, we have compiled an online visual guide for every figure released in a particular Custom Corps, with this initial checklist documenting CC3. The final count landed at 262 fully customized figures. Some had doppelgangers, but upon further inspection you will see that even the twins and triplets are slightly different. All of the styles were thought out and executed with intent, nothing was thrown together and nothing was last minute. Each and every piece had multiple hours invested in its crafting and all were assembled with equal attention. Some may not have been the most popular color choices, some may not seem like the flashiest work, but I can assure you guys that each and every figure was made with everything I've got -for better or for worse. So if one of these little buggers doesn't seem to do it for you at first, maybe give it a few days, see if something starts to form and perhaps some individuality will begin to shine through.

I feel very attached to all those little creatures (I'm a sentimental fool) and it's been a great honor to get the chance to introduce them to all of you. My deepest gratitude for all the support and amazing dedication you all have generously given to our little dream of a company. As always, we do this together.

  1. Thank you, Matt for such an awesome release. The figures I received (especially the Govurom) are the centerpiece of my collection.

  4. This list is awesome Matt! This is what I've been wanting for CC releases for a long time, and I'm glad to have it now, especially for such a large roster of figures. Very awesome.

  5. Glad to see you and Marcus pulled this off. Though, I admit, the way you described it, I thought there might be little pieces of exposition for some of 'em...

    Still, some of these might only live on in this gallery, for better or worse. Thanks for doing this, guys. I hope we can see it used again whenever a future Custom Corps run comes down the pipe...

  6. We were going to -we have a lot of it done- but decided against it for now. The archive will get small updates as time goes on, we just wanted to share it as soon as possible. A ton of work went into getting it ready, so I hope it holds some value for you, even without the expanded descriptions.

  8. Oh man, just what I wanted. This is a beautiful guide. So many figures to individually photograph!
    I am extremely impressed with what I see, and I'm sad now that there wont be another CC for a while. Boo hoo hoo.
    Thank you, Onell team!

  9. I finally received my first Govurom!!!


    The CCIII archive is wondrous work, so many that I want.

    What are the chances of getting an archive for the 1st Custom Corps ?

  10. We're working on archives for all the CC releases. Been taking individual shots since the beginning in hopes that we would eventually get the guides going. It's been fun seeing the older figures again.

  11. Ah darn, just when I'd settled on names for the three I'd pulled from the Dimension Drifters wave. It'll still be cool to see how the other waves' archives will turn out!

  12. Glad you guys are diggin' this. I actually just updated a minor glitch, so refresh the archive. Good lookin' out Doc!

    This is only the start to the archive expansion project in progress...

  13. WoW! This archive is amazing. It just shows how much work was put into this and how rad each and every figure really is. What a great collection of figures you have unleashed into the world. You should be very proud.
    We all thank you.

  14. Wow this archive rocks this in itself is a massive feat when I think that you handmade all of the figs before you even had to start taking all of those pictures my mind just boggles, can't wait even more for my package to arrive just so I can check which guys I got from the list!

    Thanks guys!

  15. That completes it right there. Awesome displays and character info. I now know my Dude is of the Rancher command Beta. Kool like a Watermelon Jolly Rancher;) Excellent Matt and team! Thanks again.

  16. Fantastic work guys. What a labor of love this whole CC wave was. 262 is a lot of figures and to make the archive list is just insane! Adding the names to the different groups of figures is great. I think it was fitting I got a Formanchie squad peebee chaos LOL he will go nicely with the future bonus that will come. My armored Delphi is rediculous! He is one of my new prized figures and great to see he will be incorporated into a future story. Thank you guys for all the hard work and AWESOME figures you have produced for all of us.

  17. Would you guys just take a break?!?! God golly, but the archive is great, thank you for that. But honestly, you can rest now, for a bit, confident that you have created a penultimate work of art, from the figures to documentation.
    When I saw this post, I literally stopped all mutli-tasking and set about finding my CC3 figures. Later in the day, when I've got some quiet time, I'll soak up the archive, like one might a good book.
    Thank you, Onell team!

  18. Also, just as one final little note: I wouldn't mind seeing the Beyond Command colors and Nemica Noboto again. The clears and the metals are definitely some of the best pieces out of the line-up, and the Hermits are really nicely done, too.

    And again, thanks for the bonus heads. It's awesome to have the chance to display these guys with options...

  19. Really freakin' awesome to see all the custom corps together in one shot. I'm also growing really fond of these Delphi characters, I hope to see them in a future release down the road, kudos again guys!

  22. Man, the Chaos Invasion Archive
    and Gallery are such feasts for
    the eyes. They add plenty to the
    collecting experience of Glyos.
    It's one thing to be able to see
    all that was available in a few
    group photos, yet it's another to
    see it all in a format so well
    organized. What a treat!

    Thank you, Matt, and everyone else
    involved with this latest Custom
    Corps 3.
