Thank You!!!

Thank you for bringing in 2018 with a solid Wave 70! We had a good little mini-hiatus since the last round in late November, so it felt good to get cracking on things again.

All the new colors seemed to come in on target and delivered an array of building fodder, particularly with the Villser "Standard" hues being represented across a couple different molds. It's neat to finally be able to explore the Villser character in actual production after thinking about it for so many years. These specific color assignments had been held back for the most part until now, with the goal of one day actually running a proper Villser Standard assortment.

The Real Type Glyaxia Rangers was another concept that had been percolating for a bit, influenced in no small part by a potentially unhealthy fixation with the classic Galaxy Rangers cartoon of old. Story-wise, the Glyaxia Rangers also loop into our old Gear's Edge arc, as Gear's parents were affiliated with an early incarnation of their unit (Glyan Rangers) before things went south for Gear's family. We'll be exploring some more Real Type action in our late February/early March release as well. 

Speaking of homages, Skeleden Redborg draws direct inspiration from our friends Yasuhiro Nightow and Noriyuki Zinguzi, two of the powerhouses behind one of the coolest modern toy lines going, Assemble Borg. Their Jarkroid Volga/Walze release that came out in 2016 is one of my personal favorites from an already incredible selection of figures. So naturally, a little blending of the PVC DNA seemed in order. From Glyos to Assemble Borg, we salute you!

Another big shout out goes to the 2D deity, Ralph Niese! The dynamic illustration shown above continues to showcase his extraordinary natural abilities and signature style. We love it, Ralpho!

All packages as of this writing have hit the post. Michelle and Pj were the consummate masters of shipping as always, making sure that everything flowed smoothly. My apologies to both of them for the wicked Vangelis loop, but the barn was asking for it.

Stock is holding up well and should probably hang in there until early next week on most items, judging by the current rate of action. The Standard Villser should be available for an extended amount of time, as it was ordered with a Buildstation approach in mind.

We're looking forward to what's ahead and feel refreshed and ready to bring new projects your way. Thank you once again for getting 2018 off to a great start!

Sector 7

Trained within Sector 7 on the Point Cerrek Space Station located above Planet Esedeth, Glyaxia Rangers are each granted access to a highly classified dossier known as the Hades File upon graduation from the Ranger Program. It's rumored that this file contains an "Alternative History" of the Glyos System, revealing to its reader what truly lies behind the shadow of Glyaxia Command.

Glyaxia Rangers

Specially commissioned by Glyaxia Command to neutralize the criminal Redborg Syndicate and its dangerous use of outlawed alien technology near the Edge of Space, the Glyaxia Rangers make their home far beyond the civilized worlds that they are sworn to protect, bravely enforcing Metran Law in places with no trace of it.

Toyfinity Attacks!

Toyfinity starts 2018 off right, with another powerful wave of reimagined classic characters from the old Ideal catalog, poised to raid your collections tonight, January 17th at 9PM EST! Details are posted over at the Toyfinity blog!

The recent Gendrone Union metallic copper also makes its return with matching Zeroid Zobor and Robo Force Maxx Zero (in Maxx Zobor form) editions (shown in their combined Super Zobor form above), opening up more build potential across the different Glyos lines.

Another big character debut for this new Toyfinity release is the official rollout of the Knight of Darkness, the original Ideal version having been a big time personal favorite of mine since its dubious entrance into the toy world back in 1977. This is a significant round on many levels!

These are a blast, John! So excited to finally see these guys happen!
