    3. MattJuly 24, 2019 at 3:25 PM

      There are some deeper connections between that "Alternative" head design (we call it the "Construct" head around here) and the early days of all this stuff.

      We're psyched to finally get to this new wave and begin linking things together!

      These mechanical mofos have been waiting for a long time to jump into the production zone!

      The guy on our right does indeed owe some of its parts to the Device Ninja mold, but the complete combo isn't exactly what you might expect. Or maybe it is?

      If you found a way to make a Phase Sentinel that uses the Device Ninja parts...

      Actually, that would be pretty rad, now that I type it all out.

      Much simpler than that, though you could potentially make such a thing with what will be available.

      No purple (look for some of that this Fall), but folks who liked last year's 11th anniversary wave should enjoy aspects of what's on deck this time. The two assortments were made to build together.

    A bit of birthday good news! I was beginning to worry about just how far away "next week" was going to be, hah!

    Granted, you don't have to give away the game just yet, but will there be multiple colorways for the you-know-what, or just one to start things off?

      Thanks!

      Sad to hear that we won't be getting a Mechabon Mk II to go along with everything, but so long as we get to see some Gobon and Phaseon action, I'm all in.

      Are we getting a full run of Accessory Sets, though?

      This will be a Mechabon-less wave. However, if you picked up one from last year's anniversary wave you'll have some new matching parts to build with.

    I’m definitely psyched to see gobon again. Looks like he’s been hanging with the wrong crowd. Not sure which crowd that would be, but just the wrong one.

    So lemme guess...glow in the dark blue, black, and...silver?
    So happy to see gobon again.

      Zen! These guys have a pretty rigid view of what it means to be a "true" Gendrone, but after what they've seen, it's hard to blame them.

      No GITD Blue (that's also later this year), but you're right on the Metallic Silver. A small amount of black will also sneak into the mix.

      I think your classification for a proper Buildstation might be totally unpainted stuff, but elements of this assortment have been designed to scratch the Buildstation itch and also still lend a little character to the selections. Curious to see what you think on Sunday.

      The original sculpt was pushed so that there are now slightly more defined options for "faces" available. Just a touch of paint here and there can reveal the intended look, though not all of them will be evident in this first assortment.

    Full accessories? Also, how many colors of wonderful Phaseons are you gifting us? Advanced or classic? Phaseon price range? And do we get a new Gendrone Chronicle? I think that covers all the bases. I'm psyched, stoked, and pumped! (Any other adjectives?)

    Full accessories in two colors. One style Phaseon, in a configuration that may be new to you. Price range $14. Some new art in the works, but not a comic.

      Figures generally have a purchase limit in the first hour to make sure there's enough to go around. After that hour feel free to go nuts, but expect several things to be gone by then. If you want more than the purchase limit, better to eat the second shipping cost than be stuck going for something high demand on the after market.

    Oh nice! This takes me back, how has it been TWELVE YEARS since you started Glyos Matt? I feel so old LoL. I remember when we had to solve Passcode puzzles to gain access to certain figures,or had to look in a blog post from 1985 to find an exclusive, great times for sure!

    Pyched about the new bits for the Gobon and Phaseonn figures, I may have to order some bits, need parts to act as a base for some new figures I am sculpting.

    If we are all still doing this by 2027, I may have a stroke. 2007 seemed like only yesterday...
