NYCC 2010 Wrap Up

Thanks to everyone out there who came by the booth at NYCC, it was a great show with a crazy amount of talent flying around the table!

These events always have an element of nervousness laced with the anticipation, so having such cool people swing by throughout the days really kept the vibe very positive. I personally can't believe how lucky we are to have such solid characters choose to be part of this whole strange project.

Special thanks go out to Nistuff and Kranix for holding down the booth with total consistency, it was great to see you guys doing your thing. These two were planted behind a wild array of product for three days! The Godbeast and Paul Kaiju continued their creative assault on the general public with impressive showings that had many con dwellers standing at the table for extended amounts of time. Mr. Dead Presidents himself dropped in on Saturday, and outside of melting brains with his paint applications, threw mini pretzels at just about anyone with XX chromosomes. The Bah'glenn debuted his Alien Mercenaries photo comic as well (which had the coolest back cover imagery)! The Evil Earwig also jumped into the mayhem with some original hand cast heads that had the table buzzing.

We ended Sunday with an appearance by the illustrious Vectar, who was on loan from the Sucklord to peddle his wares (and choke the nearby booths with spray paint). Of course we can't forget the good Doctorkent, who maintained tight security and general muscle when things got intense, not to mention doing some hellish Axis Joint assembly in the hotel room deep into the night (thanks to our friend Mike as well). Thanks to Ralph, we also met killer artists Alexis Ziritt and Alejandro Bruzzese. Make sure to check these guys out.

A shout out goes to The Cardhacks as well, these guys are working on some of the most unique projects around and back it up with quality moves. Also, big thanks to Rob Losito for keeping a pulse on the scene at the con as well as introducing us to many excellent artists, not to mention supporting what we have been doing for quite sometime.

Outside of the con itself, we had some great times in the East Village hanging out with our friends. Jesse and I wanted to send a special thanks out to Missy and Nate (of Average Intelligence fame) for guiding us through the city at night. You two were troopers and put up with every ounce of me and Jesse's fused neurosis! Long live Nino's Pizza! NYCC was a awesome time and we are looking forward to doing it again next year.

On one extra note, we will be putting some stuff up for sale at 2pm EST tomorrow, October 15th, for those that missed out on grabbing the new Axis Joint packs at the show. We are also going to try something new, and see what you guys think.

Along with the Joints there will also be two "Extra Sets", which consist of two heads, one chest and one pelvis in each set. The first set has 1 Sarvos and 1 Phanost head, a split new chest and a no belt pelvis in the Gear's edge color scheme (companion to the Gearius figure).

The second set has 1 Pheyden and 1 Scar Pheyden head, a Pheyden chest and a belted pelvis in pure white with painted eyes (companion to Enforcer Sarvos).

Based on the recent requests for more parts we thought we would try this out. Each Extra Set will be $4 USD and the Axis Joints will be $4 USD as well (and come with a special sneak production Govurom head).

Let us know what you guys think and as always thanks for checking this stuff out.

Oh yeah, one last bit. The crazy Pheyden with the cloak in the above pics was a booth mash up by the whole NYCC crew. See if you can guess who did what...

  1. Thanks for lettin' me help out, guys! It was a total blast...even if I'm now sicker 'n a dog because of it, heh. It's great to see Kroywen (interesting name!) Pheyden on the blog, and the host of customs opening-up the post is like a mini-reunion.

    As for the "Extra Set" packs -- awesome idea, especially with the release of the joints. And now that more folks are coming out with hand attachments...all you'd need are some legs and feet, and you could probably get some Phase Arm packs for that. A "buildable" figure, as it were...of a different kind than we're used to, heh!

  4. It was an amazing event. So many people brought amazing works and ideas to the table. Very happy I was able to be part of it. Glad you liked the people I brought to you to meet and see first hand what the glyos universe is all about. I'm a glyos pimp and haven't heard a bad thing yet. :)The set packs are a great idea and should be well received by the fans. Even thought we had choking paint fumes on sunday I knew amazingness was happening at the booth. Was my pleasure to meet you and spend time at the booth. Thank you for the mention in the post it is much appreciated.

  10. I'll put my money on the head and/or torso being a Godbeast sculpt.

  11. That group shot is awesome, will be snagging a gears edge set. That phase arm on Kroywen has to be a Kranix piece and i will venture the scars on the right side of his head are NiStuff with the cloak being from Bah'glenn. according to forum posts the scar on head is from Matt himself, and the scars in the chest are from Kranix. Total wild guess that Ralph either had a hand in the pink paint app or the gold blast scars on the head.

  12. Redjar: you're right except for the pink paint apps and the gold blast scars. And still no guess as to who did the scarring on the "boots" from anyone...

  13. heh.. I know most of who did what.. so I can't play.. but I can say there is a single detail (that isn't shown, and will never be shown, due to it's.. ah.. sensitive placement) that was placed there by jesse moore... the figure turned out amazingly though.. that head should be a production piece.. battle ravaged pheyden!

  14. Hey, crazy idea from the newbie... How about a mailing list? I checked the new post about NYCC last night but didn't even see about the drop until today at lunch when I was at my local comic shop (hi Walley!) and introducing the owner to my newest addiction. By then it was too late. Whadda ya say Matt?

  15. Beth & I had a BLAST at NYCC & the Onell booth. Thanks again for allowing me to have a place to sell my comics. It's very cool to see the Pirate Lion BB/Glyos custom I gave you in the official Glyos backdrop. Oh, how did the name for the custom Phyeden come about?
