Horrifying bio-mutations and genocidal machines of mass destruction tore into existence from the rampant abuse of long guarded secrets thought securely hidden by the passage of time.
As each planet's government pushed for total system-wide domination, many of these abominations began turning on their creators, indiscriminately spreading devastation wherever they roamed. Standard countermeasures proved ineffective, as these ultimate weapons of war were specifically designed to be nearly unstoppable by even the most lethal regulation hardware.
Sensing this growing danger from afar, an ancient order of warriors known as the Satraku Clan, who had operated in the shadows for generations safeguarding Glyos against deadly threats, moved into action. Utilizing unorthodox tactics and skills that could only be executed by those born and raised within the practice of the Satraku Clan, small groups of Satraku "Glyninjas" began a silent mission to eliminate these vile monstrosities with extreme prejudice.
This clandestine task lasted longer than the Satraku Clan anticipated, and many honorable Glyninjas fell across countless battles. By the time the Old War came to an end after Planet Metran's legendary treachery, the Satraku Clan had been nearly wiped out of existence...but so had almost all the cursed beasts of war they had originally set out to destroy.
With the rise of Capital Planet Metran, the Satraku Clan once again faded into the shadows, awaiting their next call to arms.
Until now.
A new wave will be ready to roll out on Wednesday night, July 27th, at 9:30PM EDT. We will have some very special announcements coming this week that focus on a Bit Figs project over a year in the making. So get on your tabi boots and sharpen your hockey stick katana, it's going to be Ninja Mania this week!

I see RoboForce parts as the weapons... This is going to be a fun (expensive) drop.
ReplyDeleteWe've been waiting for the right moment to run those little buggers! Combined with a Glyan blaster, you can whip up some fun clashing cyber blades or beefed up Phase rifles, depending on which side of the new head you're sporting.
DeleteAlthough the Satraku Clan utilizes stolen Phase weaponry often, just like all the other technology they've swiped and mastered throughout their existence.
Do I see that old Capcom game, Strider, making an influence in the weapon design?
ReplyDeleteCypher City, Harlan!
DeleteWe tried to fuse a bunch our favorite ninja themed obsessions into this wave. Also, the new Glyninja head is reversible, with an alternate side that might appeal to folks who dig the futuristic soldier look. We'll explore more of that aspect of the sculpt and its influences as we nose into things.
This was unexpected. Never thought Ninjas would really make an appearance in the Glyos system... But it just so happens that ninjas are pretty much my favorite thing ever, so I'm on board. But why'd you have to release three of my favorite color combos all at once, when I'm currently so broke?!
ReplyDeleteSpace ninjas!?! This is too awesome!
ReplyDeleteJust curious, which colorway is that orange closest to? I'm all about 'dat glyorange!
ReplyDeleteWait, hold on a tic: is that a new head sculpt? That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteHey Roy! It is indeed a new head sculpt! One side represents the Glyninja and the other side is a new "Real Type" soldier design with ties to my old Skate Wars drawings from when I was a kid.
DeleteThis new noggin replaces the Neo Sincroid head, which is now officially retired from production.
Hmmm...wonder if there'll be any of those "Horrifying bio-mutations and genocidal machines of mass destruction" in this drop, would be sweet to see a new vinyl figure, or even a return of the Supercrayboth, something real nasty for Glyninja's to battle!
ReplyDeleteAny Gobons on the horizon?
ReplyDeleteYes!!! Growing up watching ninja flicks, Kurosawa samurai epics and playing Ninja Gaiden on NES ingrained on me so I'm all for this addition. Love the headband with the symbol. It should go without saying I'm anxiously awaiting the blue version!!!! And happy double anniversary Matt.
ReplyDeleteQuestion what is it that has brought the Satraku Clan out of the shadows?
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping for Glyninjas in other colors of the rainbow so I can have a Super Sentai homage...
