Official Glyos Database

This is something that has been in the works for the last several years, and we're thrilled to finally open it's digital doors. The Official Glyos Database is a new immersive site showcasing the various items we've produced since 2007. For the first time ever, the entire archive can be filtered by tags like Pheyden, Sarvos, Crayboth, and descriptive labels such as metallics, GITD, and vinyl. Dynamic gallery views also add to the fun of exploring the online Glyos System.

Many of the photos are direct from the original archive and store pages, but larger and alternate shots will be worked in through time. We also plan to add more accessories, bonus items and oddball images that have for the most part remained unseen or buried in the depths of blogger.

There are a few very special additions to the OGDB as well, including the official Production Wave list. Hard to imagine that in 7 years we've done 40+ releases containing over 600 unique figures, not counting accessories and customs! The first few years were a bit tricky to properly organize in this manner... back when we just added things to the store at a more random pace!

Another new addition is the Custom Corps 1.4 gallery - The Renegades are ready for close-up action!

This may very well be a work in progress for all of Glyternity, but we feel it's at a point where we can enjoy it for what it is- a fun way to explore and reminisce. For me, this site serves as a nice reference tool and a fun way to reflect when nostalgia strikes. We'd love to hear what you guys think and hope you enjoy the OGDB!  -Marc

Merry Christmas 2014!

Merry Christmas from the whole family over here at Onell!

No matter what you celebrate, we hope you had a great day!

Check in a little later for a special treat!

Glyoforms: Glyaxia

Another Glyoforms set joins the ranks in the form of Glyaxia! Cosmic hi-fives to all, and to all a Merry Christmas!

Goldlander

Ni brings a strong year for his Outlander to a close tonight, December 19th, at 8PM EST over in his store, with some brand new colors and very cool one of a kind customs.

Congratulations on a great year, Ni! It's an excellent time to be a fan of the 481 Universe!

Kabuto Mushi MK II: Wave Six

Almost one entire year of Kabuto Mushi MK II has passed, and to celebrate, Marty "Totino Bold" Hansen will be rolling out his final wave of 2014 in his store tonight, December 14th, at 8PM CST!

Consisting of some fun color selections that pay tribute to classic Japanese characters, Marty's new assortment has a little something for everyone. Of note is the first time production of a brand new metallic emerald green (Kamen Rider Green) that really pops in hand, as well as a metallic light blue (Bio Boosted!) that matches very closely to the Gendrone Legion figures we produced back in December 2012. If you like Transformers, you're also covered, as a very cool Insecticons homage is also in the mix.

Lots of consideration and effort were put into the selection process of these new Deluxe figures, really broadening the spectrum of what Kabuto Mushi can become. It's pretty neat that 2014 opened up with a green Mushi and now closes with a fresh take on Marty's favorite color, evolved and ready to journey into 2015.

Congratulations on the success of year one, Marty! The whole Onell family has enjoyed watching Mushi grow, and I personally can't wait to see where you take things in 2015.

Long live Totino! Stay Bold!

Glyoforms: Build-a-Gendrone

The latest addition to Glyoforms is here: Build-a-Gendrone! This page has a mound of pixel parts to assemble your own Glyos 'drones large or small. We plan to do more sprite sets like this as well, pushing the digital building aspect into weirder territory.

You will also notice a minor revamp of the layout on all Glyoforms sets. With this new setup, each sprite is laid out along the top, and every piece can be duplicated to your hearts content. Each image created will become the top layer, so try designing your background first and work your way to the foreground. Thanks to our good friend Cappy for the help with the revised code!

Mercenary Alert

Emerging after just over a year spent in the shadows, Callgrim has returned right in time to menace your holidays!

Featuring a few updated versions of some classic Callgrim color combinations, as well as a couple new hues, Jesse has a batch of great stuff for fans of the Skullface both new and old alike.

Good to have you back, Gimli!

Toy Break and the Dunder Chief

Last month when we were out visiting George and Ayleen, we ended up on the famous Toy Break couch, and then proceeded to go headlong into a mind bomb tangent attack that I will now apologize for in advance (ha!).

Huge thanks to the dynamic duo of October Toys for enduring the verbal hurricane that landed in their fantastic home right before DCon.

BIG BOOTS.

Shipping Update

Everything except a few orders placed over the weekend has shipped out! Thanks once again to all of you for the great turnout last week, we had fun boxing up your stuff.

Special thanks to Megan and Pj for their incredible dedication to spending time packing in the barn, especially after already working their full day jobs before rolling in! I'd be in a cardboard tomb without them. 

We hope you have fun when the stuff starts arriving!

Revenge of SUCKLE!

Our friend (and well known fiend), The Sucklord, is now entering the final days of his Revenge of SUCKLE Kickstarter, and the Suckteam has just announced something close to home within their new stretch goals- a mini Glyos Sucklord! Like all the previously revealed SUCKLE figures, this little menace was sculpted by the modern master of mini figure manipulations, George Gaspar!

In honor of this Tiny Traveler, check out the all new SUCKLE Glyoforms set (see the post below for more info on our interactive virtual "colorforms"). If you've always dreamed of designing a wrestling ring that pits scumbag aliens against the likes of a walking toilet paper roll, you've come to the right place.

Good luck Mr. Lord!

Glyoforms 3.0

For those that have been around since the early days of Glyos, you may remember a small flash app we made called Glyoforms. This was our ode to Classic Colorforms play sets, and another way to explore and customize the pixelated cannon of Glyos characters.

Glyoforms has been completely rebuilt using html and javascript (no flash), meaning it can be accessed on any device. This is a working model, but we want to give you guys a chance to play around while we test it out. A few tips before diving in:

-All sprites default to the upper left of the screen.
-On mobile devices, grab the TOP LEFT of a sprite to move it.
-Press the top center buttons to mix background colors and tiles.
-To save an image, take a screen shot. Create wallpapers and get creative!

There are a few sets available now from the master list, including Volkriun Space Force and the Rig Crew.  A handful of new pages are on deck, along with a few crossover surprises. Please comment here with any suggestions and feedback. Have fun!

Thank You!!!

Thank you for making the last release of 2014 a positive one! The activity during Sunday night was steady and we had a few items move at some old school speeds, particularly the new Redlaw Phanost. It was a bit of a strange figure to roll out, so the good response goes a long way towards making more production clear/paint mixes available in 2015. What clear colors would you be interested in seeing return? We have a couple clears on deck, but we're always looking for your thoughts on this stuff!

Marcus and I will be popping some posts up reflecting a bit on 2014 as the month passes, as well as sharing a few things that have been in the works for a couple of years. Hopefully you will enjoy a few of these virtual odysseys that have been long in the making.

Thanks once again to each of you for being part of Glyos. This project doesn't belong to any one individual, it belongs to all of us.
