    Can we expect a glyan this time to go with the momentus return of the big buildman himself?

      To some degree, the answer is both yes and no, though the build potential across multiple mold selections will be fairly healthy.

    will it be a variation of black, or will the black in this wave match previous ones?

      The black PVC matches up closely with the more recent runs, with a rich and deep true black hue. Along with the GITD green PVC there will also be another FX plastic which we've run a version of before. Be ready for a curveball as well!

    Hades vs Argenesis for all the marbles. That’s good, for my marbles are forever lost and I’m in need of more.

      I think it's an objective statement that we're all short a few marbles these days, but that's sort of what keeps things interesting.

      Funny you should mention marbles, as there are so many good effects that inspire within them, sometimes they even look like there's semi transparent silver trapped inside.

      I see what you did there. Add XYCOSS or REDLAW to the mix and I’ll break out the hungry hungry hippos!

    Any Manglord or Kaisyriax outbreaks in this wave?

  9. BunneyNovember 30, 2023 at 7:28 AM

    Hades has stayed true to their colours over the years while rivals have varied, are we going to see them in a callback to a previous colourway or something new entirely?
    And if my eyes aren't decieving this will be my first chance at snagging a Buildman, I can't wait! Could there be other firsts too, maybe a Mechabon or Phaseon?

      Hades seems to prefer that certain look (he's stubborn), but Argen likes to change things up a bit.

      You will definitely see Gendrone action on the menu, along with some fun little combinations of older parts.

    So we can expect, Glow, and Black and some type of purple (REDLAW?) translucent PVC. Any other wild colors on deck, and more to the point any of that gorgeous minty metallic Villsercore green!?! Maybe a Delphi noggin in the mix as well?

      There will be a total of 4 different PVC colors available, including the black and GITD green. The semi transparent color in this round is a slightly new take on something we've run before, updated to match the Hades/Argen team theme. The fourth PVC is specific to one figure, but it has a load of parts packed with it for many optional forms.

      The Delphi are going to have their hands full in Wave 100, so they only lent their armor (or had it stolen) for this round.

    2. WitchwitchwitchDecember 1, 2023 at 8:26 AM

      I'm looking forward to the reveal of both the SFX and the wild card colors! Will we be seeing a fully kitted out Sincroborg w/armor this wave? If yes, will there be multiple instances or one color?

      Delete
    3. MattDecember 1, 2023 at 3:41 PM

      Parts of the Sincroborg and Sincro Armor will show up combined with other figures.

      Their technology has been spreading into multiple systems since they appeared, which has been a point of concern for "The Ones Beyond" the Edge of Space.

    Nothing like arguing with Google for half a day to be able to comment while signed in.

    Gary borrowed my first question about guests so I shall move on to the true question plaguing us all. Glyan Spectre Commando came out in Wave 58 yet the only glowing Swings were way back in Wave 32. Will we finally see a second edition of Spectre Swing Joint Sets? Can our Spectre Commandos finally achieve sleek smooth swinging Nirvana free of the bulky Axis Armored crunch?

    (Also Rechlen & Aves Wave 100 appearance or Bust. Bring a new Glip along, too. The Space Trappers must finally happen in some form.)

      I would love to see Rechlen & Aves for wave 100

    2. MattDecember 1, 2023 at 6:02 AM

      You'll see GITD green Axis and Phase Arm Sets for accessories in that vein, but not Swing or Hub action. However, there will be the full assortment of accessories in another special FX PVC.

      As far as Rechlen and Aves go, maybe we'll nose into that part of things as next year unfolds. In the meantime, expect some strange new characters to emerge for Wave 100.

    4. Raoul DukeDecember 3, 2023 at 1:23 PM

      Does "new characters" include a white 'aos figure with some new parts sitting on your desk in early November? The new kit looks very promising.

    Hi Matt, For panel lining at home would you recommend a rub or a wash or paint? I am looking to emulate early wave panel lining, the bolder/heavier style used on the harder pvc type figures. Go Team Argen!!

      For high durability I've found that vinyl automotive paint works the best. For a much wider color variety, Tamiya always provided some good options, just not the strongest stuff for bonding. Some folks have used Gundam markers as well.

    2. Gary ArnoldDecember 1, 2023 at 10:15 AM

      I use VHT Vinyl Dye. It seems to be as durable as factory paint, and my only complaint is the very limited color palette. Do you have any suggestions for alternative brands?

      Delete
    3. MattDecember 1, 2023 at 3:35 PM

      The brand I used for years was called PlastiKote, but that was mainly used for the base paint to create a strong bond to layer on top of.

      If you take proper precautions with the VERY toxic solvent, Vinyl Wonder is factory quality PVC paint

      Waitaminute, Delphi and Vor's return early next year...hmmm...sounds like the Delphi have unfinished business with their progeny.

    3. MattDecember 2, 2023 at 6:28 PM

      Another couple looming questions to ponder are who or what came before the Delphi, what exactly goes on in the other "systems" and how are they connected to the Glyos System?

    4. Gary ArnoldDecember 3, 2023 at 6:04 AM

      Sounds like Wave 100 and beyond are going to expand on lore hinted at in Record of the Delphi, i.e. the Delphi's Masters. Man, I'm in!!

    Will we ever see an Elder Exellis meet a young Exellis in some time shift story? That would be epic. Throwback drop would be cool too with oldies, but goodies perhaps all vamped up.

    Hmm..it might be time for me to grab another Hades Pheyden. I think that glowing headed marauder is easily one of my all time favorites.
