We hope everybody had a great round of holidays to close out 2009. It was a really exciting time that took our projects on all kinds of adventures. The best part was doing it as a collective and sharing in the experiences. As 2010 gets rolling and new ideas are hatched, we want to say one more time how grateful all of us are for everything that you guys have brought into our lives. Onell Design would be nothing without the dedication and generosity that each of you have brought to this project. As always, we move forward together.
A few quick bits of info for January... We are on track to release the second version of
Pheyaos (the first USA edition) near the end of this month in conjunction with an all new RXH themed
Custom Corps. Mori has been working like a maniac to keep things on track. In honor of
Real X Head, we will be posting some special content dedicated to the ongoing work of Mori Katsura and maybe even divulge a secret or two about the direction he is headed this year. Keep your eyes peeled for an exclusive interview conducted by Don "Datadub" Kratzer with Mori to learn more about the amazing world of Real X Head.
While we play with RXH over here, make sure you are prepared for the
Callgrim invasion that is being readied over at
Callgrim.com! Jesse will be unleashing his largest assortment to date! The amount of artwork he is producing for this blitz is his most impressive yet, with unique designs for ALL the packaging as well as everything he's created for the highly anticipated Callgrim Animated Series. He has truly reached new heights with this effort. Keep cranking Jesse!
One last bit of info... Due to the strong response we received from the
Founders release, we have sorted through the archives and will now be offering the last 3 figures from the original Wave 1 Series.
Standard Exellis,
Phase Pheyden and the super rare
Reverse Exellis (never before sold online) will be available in the Founders Shop early this coming week. The price still remains $4 USD for these hard plastic old timers. Thanks again for all your support and stay creative -Matt
He's gone. Thanks so much to everyone that ordered. I promise that there will be more on the next run. Emailing all who got one shortly.
Wow, we were definitely not prepared for the response that this figure has generated from you guys. When we first decided to do this project it was for a more specialized part of our collecting community. There was positive feedback as well as a fair share of negative when Pheyaos images began popping up. Nonetheless we were excited and committed to bringing our Real x Head collaboration here to the USA. Based on the amount of emails I have personally received since the last post it is 100% guaranteed that we will not have enough of this edition to meet the demand. These runs with Mori are a fraction of what we normally manufacture as far as production numbers go, so we are in a slightly tough spot to begin with. The unit costs are much higher and the process is very different than with our core products, so striking the right balance between all the factors has been the goal. The next Pheyaos we bring over will absolutely have a higher production run, but it will still be lower than the standard amount we're used to. 
A box of Pheyaos rolled in yesterday and they look great! We are psyched to finally have some of these little devils to unleash over here. It's looking like a Tuesday release this week with a price of $30 USD each. The production number is very low, but if the response is positive we will increase the amount on the next edtion. Our goal is to offer new Real X Head every month. Due up in February are Pheyaos Man and the first edition of the Pheyden Mini. Our deepest thanks go out to Mori and Datadub for making this a reality, we are honored to be creating with you guys.
Resurrected from the "Secret Heap" in our warehouse, the remaining three Founders make their return! Like the previous four Founders figures, these guys are made from the super hard first generation PVC plastic and have imperfect paint applications. The Phase Pheydens may also contain an occasional air bubble as well. A point of interest concerning the Reverse Exellis is that this version has never been offered online before. He was only available at a few conventions and every so often in the Junkshop by chance. Once the last of these Founders figures are gone, it will signal the end of the original first generation stock. Hope you guys have fun with these little buggers!
