Thank You!!!


Thank you for bringing Wave 68 to life! We had such an awesome time working on this round, thanks to the unique talents of our friends Glen, Nate, Ralph and Pat (his all new artwork is shown above-double thanks, Pat!). Exploring the world of the Glyknights has been a running sub-theme over here and the details really came into focus through collaborating with these artists.The creative approach that each one of them chose to take with our weird characters really added the magic, and we're deeply grateful for all the time and effort they collectively dedicated to this release.

So far the production numbers for this round have held up pretty well, with the majority of the items still available a few days in. Based on the flow, the general stock should be in decent shape leading up to DCon next week, though a good chunk of the new selections are definitely getting down there.

Speaking of DCon, we're on track to make the annual trip out to sunny Pasadena next week! Please swing by and see us (booth #1002) if you're able to attend the show. We love spending time with everybody at what's become the best convention for independent operators on the planet, and to keep things cooking we'll have a couple experimental mini production runs to share at the show. Extra special thanks to Ben and George for always making our visits to DCon an incredible experience.

As of this writing, almost all the orders from the launch have hit the post, with the last of them heading out the door today, including all international orders. Michelle and Pj were beyond powerhouses, working like crazy to keep things moving on schedule. 

Our last wave of 2017 is tentatively set for early December, and will feature some Gendrone action in an all new metallic hue (and another new hue will debut as well). Argen will face an unexpected adversary that's been creeping around in the shadows since the Henshin III Wave.

Thanks again for keeping the bus rolling throughout all of 2017! It's been an action packed year and we still truly love sharing this stuff with you, more than ever.

  1. In the shadows since Henshin III... Argen vs Argenesis? That would be a fun story to figure out.

  2. This was quite the wave! There are lots of different directions taken with the offerings, and about the only thing that's missing is just on the horizon for December. (I hope those paint masks on Gobon and Enyriun are coming back!)

    Good luck at DCon, too! It must be awesome to see all the indie goodness and to take part, and no doubt attendees are gonna eat those mini-runs right up when all y'all get there. (Also, is the 1000toys crossover stuff going to put in an appearance? That stuff looks to be absolutely insane!)

    Again, thanks for bustin' your humps to make this such a fun line to support. Here's to an even better end to an awesome year of releases!

  3. Just got my order and love 'em all! The Villsers are easily my new favorites, and Sarvostar is slick.

    Any chance of seeing a reverse Villser Bioskull soon? Some mixing and matching of parts between the current version and I can put together figures akin to a Baron Karza and Force Commander from the old Micronauts line. And how about a Time Traveler-esque Pheyden (chrome head with translucent body) or Glyknights for thrills? Also, the alternate heads for the Noboto screams possible Acroyear builds down the line too!

  4. Always amazed how quickly you ship the figures. Awesome all around.
