    Great to hear from you guys! Hope you are all well. If that is “who” I think it “is,” I’ll be a happy guy. Will there be full accessories to deck him out in?

      Hey Rob! We're plugging away under the radar in these parts, but staying alive. Hope you and the family are healthy and half sane.

      In addition to coming with some extra Glyan parts to customize with (backpack/weapon options), that "familiar" looking character shown above will have some black axis joints available separately in the store as well.

      A special aspect of these Glyans (there are 2 of them in this mini wave) is that they debut some brand new "Sincro Armor" parts which we'll be exploring throughout this year. These new parts were developed to be used across a variety of Glyos molds.

      Woah!!! Sincro Armor? Sounds like some fun building potential. will there be any foes looking to strip these two Glyans of this new tech? Any hubs, swing, phase arms this round?

      Very compact assortment to get 2022 rolling, with 2 "DX" Glyans, 1 specially painted Traveler, 1 Sincrodrone, a couple Crays and 2 different Axis Joint Set colors. 8 items total.

      There are some special contained builds between 1 Sincrodrone and 1 Axis Joint Set to share as well.

      In late March we have kind of a whopper release incoming(with more all new parts), so this one was designed to specifically land some Glyos style bounty hunter action directly in our pockets, right as we all watch the Kid from Kamino mix things up on TV.

    Looks so cool. Bummer I'll be working at that time. Hopefully they're still in stock later at night.

      The stock is loaded up, so things should stick around for a bit.

    Looks like he has two gylan chest pieces, are there some Quallgru/Neinboto swaps happening?

      He seems to have two blaster handle pieces, as well. I think he's just two whole Glyans.

      We wanted to really honor this homage, and the iconic backpack felt critical to emulate with care, so we ran some extra Glyan parts from mold 1 to complete the package, which also yielded some neat customizing options.

    For as much work that's been put into this wave, it's the Sincrodrone that has me the most curious!

    Will it be a new build, or will it be a twist on a formula we've already seen?

      Hey Roy! The Sincrodrone defaults as an Eta build out of the polybag, but the special form that can be achieved with 1 Axis Joint Set is the intended next evolution for the character, after it "discovers" the forbidden Axis Tech and bites the digital apple, so to speak.

      Just wanted to keep the core building point open in case folks only require the Sincrodrone parts for what they intend to mess with.

      It will be Axis optional as usual(don't tell the Renegades).

    Matt, any possibility there will be a new, roundish piece that attaches to this character's front mid-section, better demonstrating the new dad-bod he sports?

      Just spin that lower abdomen around and you're in business. I just hope Temuera doesn't read this blog anymore. Have you seen Once Were Warriors, man?

      Hey, no judgment here; I'm a dad and I have said "bod" to prove it. I also imagine J-Hutt's palace has a pretty killer buffet, and who can resist all-you-can-eat Klatooine paddy frog?

    Wahhh?! So unexpected but so very welcome. It is fantastic to hear from you. Wishing all of you a prosperous and positive new year.

    That lighting is incredible, especially from the lower angle. A perfect homage. He'll look killer next to the Armortrooper.

    Commando and Orphan look really great but those Nemica Ghosts actually made me say "Whooooaaaa" out loud. Y'all still find a way to surprise and impress after all these years. Thanks!
