    Is this a vinyl-only drop? I ask because the new time is a little rougher on being able to be there at first drop, but I don't really collect the vinyl pieces.

      It will be a PVC attack, with the standard sized assortment of stuff at the ready.

      RHND!

      Thank you!

      We've been working with Mori towards this new release for many years and it feels pretty wild to finally hold the finished product of all those talks, work sessions and visits in the palm of your hand. Can't wait until you guys start playing around with this little mutant as well!

      Mori's an incredible artist and person, and we wanted to truly honor his creativity and ingenuity with some fully realized PVC action!

    Oh Baby! Is that Mordireus Pink I see? Will we finally see the reveal of the Villser extra set this round!?! Is that an updated version of Pheyaos?

      Your eyes are correct on that Mordieus (though it does have a little something extra on a few of the selections this time).

      The new figure does have some direct ties to the Villser (and Pheyden) thematically, especially if you look back at the older Villser concept drawings.

      That being said, this is a completely separate deal than the ongoing Villser Extra Set project, though a solid build cross-compatibility was still firmly in mind during this new figure's entire development (angles, sizing, sculpting, etc.).

      One of the main intentions with this new mutant was to create something that was between a "narrative" design and a "building" design, with a significant amount of focus placed on capturing the original "feel" of Pheyden, but updated with fit functions on the bottoms of the feet and the center of the back -with a little added overall size to cut a fresh silhouette within the general Glyos lineup.

      The sneak preview in the animation above is for this brand new figure.

      Very excited about this new figure, especially the inclusion of fit functions on the feet and back. For the Mordireus selections you mentioned, will we be getting a full array accessories in that translucent pink?

      Delete
    3. MattApril 25, 2019 at 12:03 PM

      It's a simple set of added functions, but they really make a massive difference if you like to build.

      Mordireus Axis, Phase and a couple figure selections will be available.

      The full array will be in a different PVC color.

      Any chance for a Mordireus LSA or Dark Traveler?

      The Dark Traveler mold is still lurking in the void for now.

      “One of the main intentions with this new mutant was to create something that was between a "narrative" design and a "building" design”

      I live for the more Narrative Designed figures! I feel like they force you to get more creative when you build with them also. Can’t wait!

    8. MattApril 27, 2019 at 1:44 AM

      There's something about building with only the parts of a specific style figure that pushes the limits in some unexpected ways. I still have great memories of building crazy early Villser Mutations and Reflex Suits using only Pheyden and Exellis parts!

      A lot of that spirit definitely lives on in this new figure, now with the added bonuses of having functions in the bottoms of the feet and the center of the back.

    To quote Liquid Snake, I've been waiting for this! Looks to be an exciting drop and the colors are fantastic. Any chance Skeleden will make an appearance? They would go so well together!

    Congrats on 10 years of collabs.

      I imagine you'll generate some great creatures from these new parts!

      No Skeleden in this round, he wanted to let some other horned freak have the run of the joint.

      At least for now.

  7. TJOmegaApril 24, 2019 at 4:00 PM

    I'm examining this way too closely... It's production Pheyaos which is awesome but am I seeing an upgrade set like the Skeleden or a whole new figure?

    5. MattApril 25, 2019 at 8:40 AM

      It's a little taller and beefier than Pheyden.

      Pheyden comes in at around 2.75 inches tall and the new mutant is right at 3 inches and a pinch with the largest head horn.

    6. WitchwitchwitchApril 25, 2019 at 10:38 AM

      Looking through older realxhead pics from the blog has me curious, especially the CC creations...will this new figure have alternative limbs (like Skeleden) or an alt head by chance?

      Delete
    7. MattApril 25, 2019 at 11:59 AM

      This figure is more simplified, like a Traveler, with a similar parts count (only the parts are slightly larger).

      Mori and I really wanted the swapping to be easy and fun, but we also worked to maintain the sculptural aspects of the RxH brand.

      No alt head, but there is an optional way to display what the figure's got.

      Really hoping in retrospect that Buildman is LATE June, I love these figures but everyone dropped their waves at the same time and I don't think a lot of people can afford much right now.

      Well, I just caught your message about Glyarmor, Glyans, and Travelers being in this wave, alongside a KotS special, and that Gendrones will be back in May and Sarvos later this year, so...

      Miniborgs?

      Delete
    5. MattApril 28, 2019 at 2:03 AM

      You'll be able to assemble a Miniborg from the parts in this wave. There's even a new Hub tampo that's ripe for the occasion!

  15. VENENORApril 25, 2019 at 10:23 AM

    From what I can see from the tease this mutant is looks very promising. Does the sculpt's asymmetry continue horn to toe?
    Also, will there be a new mystery figure in the mix? Just wanna stay on track with those. Thanks

    1. MattApril 25, 2019 at 11:47 AM

      The asymmetry follows closely to the source material, with some "mirrored" parts sprinkled throughout the lower body, but it mostly has unique weirdness on each side.

      There will indeed be a new mystery figure.

      Delete
    2. VENENORApril 25, 2019 at 12:14 PM

      Very interesting. Any chance this figure will have it's own "wearable" piece within it's parts count similar to the Traveler scarf or Villser belt?

      As for the mystery figure, that's great to hear. Not to get specific about this drop's figure but I did want to ask about the lineup. Will we see any robotic entries in this particular series?

      Delete
    3. MattApril 25, 2019 at 12:55 PM

      No packed-in wearable parts, just a strict mutant weirdo.

      There will be a crossover, but not RF related.

      The Gendrones will begin to resurface starting late next month, then they'll be picking up the pace in the second half of the year.

      Chaos has lent its DNA, but not its noggin. However, elements of the Chaos head design were incorporated in a "roundabout" way to allow for some options.

      No Mordireus Glyans in this wave, though there's a good reason why we've been holding back on running that mold in a variety of translucents that will become more "clear" later this year.

    Man, this is awesome! Wasn't expecting a new figure, especially one this cool! I'm curious to see if it fall in line with Pheydens or more like Buildmen and Villsers when it comes to building potential.

    1. MattApril 27, 2019 at 1:34 AM

      We really tried to bridge the gap between the narrative style and building style of figures, but with the primary concentration being on the overall visual look of the character.

      This aspect was particularly important due to its lineage and the original design principles that Mori and I share.
