The old Rothan color combination was really satisfying to explore again, as both Marcus and I are nuts about the classic Rat Fink green (and all things Big Daddy Roth). Coupled with the dino-inspired Tyraxsis hues, Wave 81 made for some pretty good primitive building themes around here. Since Mori is also a huge fan of dinosaurs (check out his instagram), we couldn't resist diving into some Jurassic action early in the lifespan of the PVC Pheyaos. Combined with the Villser in particular, the possibilities for more savage builds open right up!
Extra special thanks once again to our German brother, Ralph Niese, for bringing a new quartet of truly wicked illustrations into the mix. A launch doesn't feel complete without Ralph's art, and we were able to enjoy a double dose of Wave 80 and 81 action this time! Thank you Ralpho! Your skills never cease to impress at the highest level.
Speaking of great new art, the Pheyaos drawing above was done by none other than Cady Jayne herself, who just wrapped up 8th grade. Watching her artistic abilities come into focus over the years has been the best, and she'll still take requests from her old man! Love this one, Bubba!
The turnout for this round was intense! Michelle, Pj and I really had our hands full in the shipping department, and we couldn't thank you guys enough for that. Michelle clocked some serious hours making sure all the orders were processed and packed correctly, and even though he'd just had his own Geo release to contend with, Pj still rolled in to assist. Two total powerhouses! Barn tunes were more spartan this time to allow tighter focus due to my ridiculous naming system and the confusion it brings to the packing process. Once we got cooking, some Yumi Zouma, Fritz and the Tantrums and TBS echoed through the barn. Pj, my voice is still thrashed from that damn TBS.
Our next release is set for late July and will mark our 12th anniversary in full production. Should be a fun one!

Cady drew that?? And she's finishing 8th grade??? Holy crap, I remember when she was but a wee babbygirl ;3;
ReplyDeleteBravo and thanks for another successful chapter in the saga of Glyos. I look forward to all of the surprises awaiting in the next, 12th anniversary chapter! As a collector of all things Glyos, I would like to see, in the months and years ahead, a focus on a surprisingly sparse aspect of the Glyos story- the Glyoverse needs females! And, hopefully, eventually, Rechlen and Aves, and the Delphi. I thank you again, for sharing your imagination, creativity, and tireless work with us!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes Cady- that drawing is fantastic! Now draw your creepy uncle a pic of Callgrim kicking Pheyden's ass... or better yet - draw Pheyden kicking your creepy uncle's ass. Great job kiddo.
