    Ooh, looks nice!! I know Gendrones will be returning, but is there a chance we'll see the new mutant on the block make a second appearance?

      Pheyaos will be right in the mix!

      We once again worked with Mori on the colors and themes, further exploring the continued narrative of Pheyaos.

      Not Vegibrain, but definitely spawned from a similar fungus.

    Feral makes me think there could be Armorvors

      No Armorvors yet, but that project is moving along at a good pace. However, you will see some feral action in this wave, just in a different breed of beast. A colossal one that prefers a spiked mace, a cosmic halberd and a spiked shield.

      Is this the long-awaited Battle Tribes crossover?!

      Geez - I missed this comment yesterday! SWOON!
      I have an idea what this will look like -- I think it will be a spectacular match of character and colorway! (and a quick sell out!)

    Very interesting tampo, reminds me of gills, or some type of flap. I'm guessing this round will be solid colors? I'm very curious about that dark Orange and Brown combo, this will be my first foray into the Rothan green save for Marty's Mushi's and Cappy's Ecopod Flora Crayboth and Bio-Monster (I think). Will we be seeing a the gamut of accessories in both Orange and Green? Also second that query about Armorvor's!

      Full accessories in Rothan green will be up to peruse, with an assorted mix of Axis Joint Sets in tow.

      Rothan's color selections are a tribute to Big Daddy Roth and his greatest creation, Rat Fink. We really love good old PMS 375C! It's a color we've used in some form since the very first wave, and the hue still stands as one of my personal favorites. It's just a smidgen outside of Devastator green(incidentally, this wave builds well with the recent Bio-Masters and Zullen), and carries that "toyetic" quality deep within its cellular structure!

      We've also woven some fun aspects into this assortment that tie directly into the recent Cantina Mystery figure's general themes, details and design choices.

      Sort of a mega loop and direct reasoning for what the Cantina Mystery figures represent within the ongoing story arc, beyond just homages.

      Sounds like a blob of confusion, but some of you might crack a smile when things begin to bleed together.

      Is Rothan Green closer to KotS Lime/Bog-Nar Green?

      Delete
    4. MattJune 11, 2019 at 2:23 AM

      Rothan shares the PMS 375C classification with Bog-Nar.

      I'm trying to cipher if there's a secret message in that big block of text..just a stab in the dark, but might we see some more vinyl this round? I can't get the vision of a Jabba themed Armodoc out of my mind.

      Delete
    6. MattJune 11, 2019 at 9:43 PM

      No vinyl, and no Jabba! The Kenner connection is there, but filtered through our weirdo process again. Think of it as a tangent direction that loops back into a story telling purpose.

      If that makes any sense at all. Ha!

      The Gendrone action in this round comes in the form of a Buildman.

      Phaseons have not been forgotten, they're just waiting for the right opportunity to surface again and rejoin their brethren. I hear they like anniversaries...

      Speaking of RF related topics, John delivered some really fun editions in his last wave!

    Rothan green and . . . Capture orange-brown?

    Though seeing this makes me miss the old color palettes. We need Arcos and Spirico again!

      The current plan is for these colors to remain specific to this wave. We have a different selection for the upcoming Gendrone maneuvers.

    Will there be any KOTS crossover figures this wave?

    I'm most likely in a VERY small camp on this one, but I've been secretly hoping for a production Verexxa ever since her introduction!

      You may be the in the smallest camp of all, Dex! I'd wager that maybe it's just you and Ralph that share this thought. I appreciate that you still like that old character.

      Funny timing for your comment, as I was recently looking over my original Verexxa drawings while working on some new Cyber Mama revisions (there's a little Rechlen and Aves aesthetic infused into CM now) .

      Just took a look at Cyber Mama. Such a great looking figure! I'm always happy to have some gender variety on my toy shelf. Makes it less of a "peg party," a-hyuck.

      No actual Mystery figure in this round, but a few of the figures draw inspiration from, and are connected to, some of the previous Kenner-born selections.

    How many colors in this wave? How many figures? Will there be any reverse figures or blanks? How many different axis sets? Colors? Swing joint sets? Hubs?

    1. MattJune 11, 2019 at 9:27 PM

      Ha! You forgot to ask for my mother's maiden name!

      Here's the basic menu:

      -4 different PVC colors

      -10 figures including a crossover figure and a Crayboth

      -No Reverse figures

      -3 different Axis Joint Set colors

      -Colors are Rothan light green, "Tyraxsis" orange and 2 more PVC hues that you'll see on Thursday

      -Full selection of the usual accessories in Rothan light green

      This covers most of the bases!

    How about sarvos and phanost? I'm sure they won't be in this wave, but I would really like to know how close are we to see their return. Also, why not keep them around as alternate heads? At least that way we can use them for some custom builds or similar stuff.

    1. MattJune 11, 2019 at 9:33 PM

      Sarvos, Phanost and Scar Pheyden are gearing up for their eventual return later this year.

      We do run those characters less than we used to, but they are still in the rotation.

      In theory, having the heads readily available sounds good, but the reality is that they perform much better when offered as complete figures.
