This new sculpt represents the Standard Glyan wearing an Advanced Flexion Suit. I imagine these Glyans populating the various planets of Glyos, acting in many different roles as they go about the business of keeping things rolling throughout the System. These guys (and soon girls) can be soldiers, police, explorers, farmers, mariners, astronauts and whatever else your creativity allows. These guys are your average Joes (ha!) who can't warp through time and split the fabric of space, at least not without some serious hardware (maybe Glyaxia Command can help them out). I hope that when these Glyans roll out you guys are inspired to put your own spin on who they are supposed to be, a canvas for you to develop some crazy paintings on. I look forward to that more than anything else, seeing what all of your collective creative brilliance will evolve these small characters into.On a related note, Rechlen and Aves will still see the light of day, but their scale will be larger to match this new figure. The size issue has made me crazy for years, but when it finally came down to making the average sized Glyan, having more building potential and slightly larger dimensions were the better choices for where we are headed with this whole project. I'm still a huge fan of the 2 inch figure, but after playing with this new guy there was no contest for what to do for full production.
There are still a few surprises concerning this figure which we'll spotlight very soon. Thanks as always for taking the time to check this stuff out.

Awesome! Cannot wait to get these guys in hand! So Rechlen and Aves shall be getting scaled up? does this mean they will get more articulation? I have been itching to get an Aves in hand for a while now. Awesome news and thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteIs that upper torso two pieces, such that he has a three piece torso? You are fitting so many pieces into such a small space, it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looking like the torso is split there. I'm loving this. Really want to see whats going on with the legs though.
ReplyDeleteAnd once again the doors of creative potential are flung wide open, this is looking fantastic Matt and i cant wait to get my hands on some as much as you are looking forward to seeing what people will do with them :)
ReplyDeleteI should have guessed, considering your renewed obsession with the adventure people that by titleing the sneak peeks "glyan" that you weren't being coy... You were telling us what it was.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is awesome... I will buy a million of them (give or take)
I can't wait for these. They look superb so far and have the ol' creative juices flowing with ideas of what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, and I can't wait to get them
ReplyDeleteLooking real good Matt! Can't wait to get my grubby hands on one!
ReplyDeleteMan this is great! Matt you are doing some awesome stuff and I really look forward to these rolling out.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet! Official female characters! Call me odd, but I always like seeing some gender equality on my toy shelf.
ReplyDeleteMan Boss that's the money shot there! Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLike everyone has been saying, this new figure looks awesome. I love the fact that there are so many pieces for this one, and it's even smaller than the original Travelers! Just like technology, Onell is following the trend of getting smaller and more advanced. Can't wait for these guys to be available!
ReplyDeleteThoroughly awesome, Matt, so much in such a small package.I've always been a fan of minifigures and you're sure ratcheting up the bar on that genre. But I've got to ask (and you know the others are thinking it): what's the price point on these guys?
