Here are a few pics of the custom "Imperium" Xodiac I put together for the recent Futuretro show. The intention was to give a slightly more armored look (big surprise) but not get too beefy by sculpting up a few new bits. As if a member of Xodiac's race found a Flexion Suit while visiting Glyos and popped it on, resulting in the state above. The cosmic "beard" is a direct homage to
Mel's Goldiac paint job.
I was working on this right up until we left for NYC last Friday morning, touching up the paint as the sun came up. These shots were taken between closing up the barn and loading up the car.
Man, I love being able to customize OSM figures. I still can't believe these guys are back.

I got a brief glimpse of that one at the show. I always loved the smooth, scalloped aesthetic you rock for Glyos, and it really shines nicely here. I haven't done any custom OSM stuff yet, but once Terra Firma comes out, I'm all over that.
ReplyDeleteProduction run or it didn't happen :D
ReplyDeleteWHOA, nicely done! Almost has a lobster-vibe to it, I totally missed this at the show. Hell, I barely got to see the customs with the amount of people that were swarming the place like rabid ants. O_o I like the build on him, I may have to alter my Zodiac and give him a similiar build.
ReplyDeleteIf you're having a hard time believing the Outer Space Men are back, I can only imagine how hard it is to fathom the thought that YOU helped bring them back via the Glyos System. That would be like me helping to bring back the Inhumanoids or Narlies from ROCK LORDS.
Still can't believe that just about 3 years ago we were talking about Mel Birkrant's toy designs & then we ate pizza, Crif dogs & 16 Handles frozen yogurt with the man. My brain knows that the events happened, but can't truly realize that they actually did.
Matt! It's Iz! Thanks so much for your hospitality. The kids loved the beans, the beanbots and crayboths. Check it out:
