On a positive note, we will have some all new stuff to release towards the end of this month. Returning to the selection will be the old sea glass looking "Voss" color, only this time it will be called Neo Voss, due to the slightly lighter tint in this batch. The Neo Voss color owes its hue to my days on the beach as a kid in Gloucester, MA. I would scrape around looking for old sea glass like a maniac, always searching for that perfect aqua-greenish color to be peeking out from under the sand. The name Voss is from my old Rechlen and Aves stories, where a symbiotic race called the Voss caused all kinds of grief for those troubled Space Trappers.
We're all pretty excited to have the Voss color back in the mix again, and it will be featured across the molds, except for Gobon, whose mold has been getting some long overdue maintenance.
There will also be another tinted clear color in the upcoming wave, as well as some all new clear vinyl. The clear vinyl is much like the previous runs we have done, containing air bubbles and visible casting "waves" inside the parts. These are not perfect, slush molded masterpieces but they are super solid, durable and less expensive than our regular painted vinyl. We had an opportunity to run the last of our clear vinyl for this release, so after this round, chances are extremely slim we'll ever produce clear colorless rotocast vinyl again.
Details will be popping up over the next few weeks, but we are on track for a May 25th release as of today. Still waiting on a few last minute additions to the order that should inject a little sparkle into the works.

That Pheyden does look pretty.
ReplyDeleteAwesomesauce, I hope by the 25th I'll have a few extra bucks to spend on this drop. Having more colors to add to the Glyos pallet are always welcome. I never know what I'll create until some new colors make their ways into my parts bins. I look forward to the day when all the core colors are readily available for purchase so I can just go hog-wild with building stuff.
ReplyDeletenext drop is not my drop :-(, no money, hope to buy some Crayboths and some vosslike stuff...no vinil, too much this month for my vallet.
ReplyDeletehope you made a real voss in future, i love your little initial creature (aves for example)
That Neo-Voss color... @_@
ReplyDelete*money flying out of wallet*
thank you!!! i was going to be out of town earlier that week and was fearing i would miss it.... i LOOOVVEEE THIS COLOR.
ReplyDeleteThe "softer" look of that Neo Voss is, I think, what makes it stand out so much against other clears: it's subtle while the others are so bold. It makes it easier to imagine a Neo Voss figure is an arbiter, or merely an observer, of some peaceful world of ice or sea, containing much in the way of knowledge but little in the need to fight. Unlike their namesake, the change in color suggests very little that is sinister about them, almost that they would exist to aid Travelers on their way.
ReplyDeleteI could go on, and it's really all to say that there's a story to this colorway, for sure, and it shows in the subtlest of ways.
This is fantastic! Voss is such in outstanding colorway. I love mixing it with gitd. Gonna be a goooood drop!
ReplyDelete"across the molds" ... that was a huge concept with the Zorennor wave, and many funds crossed the aether because of it. ;o) I've already dug out my Voss Exellis and am comparing to the newer colorways to what looks best.
ReplyDeleteSo, Matt, are you implying there will be vinyl pieces in clear Voss also?
No more transparent vinyl?! But what will I stuff lights into?! *Sets hair on fire, runs around screaming*
ReplyDeleteLove the clear stuff! Can't wait for this drop!
ReplyDeleteWill you still be putting up the black restock earlier, or will it be part of the May 25th drop?
ReplyDeleteYou could make Armodocs in turd brown and I'd buy them. I AM SO WEAK!
ReplyDeleteI'm Loving the Neo-Voss Pheyden's color, it's just wonderful
ReplyDeleteThe Voss color is one of the original colors that's missing from my collection. (Any chance Stealth Travelers will show up to make a Voss Exellis clone?)
Actually, Voss Exellis was pure-Voss. As you can tell from the Neo Voss Pheyden, there's a lot less plstic in the thin traveler/founder limbs, so the colour is lighter and looks almost-clear.
Delete...now DROP and give me 20! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Thanks for the update, Matt! Really looking forward to this next drop!
more clears and neo-voss just make me so happy... it's the clears that got me buying these guys to begin with (way back when a new drop was just a few new Pheyden/Exellis colorways)
ReplyDeletehow things have grown and changed... so looking forward to this drop
