Wave 104 is live!
Note: Please place only ONE ORDER WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR TONIGHT. We will lift all limits after the first hour. Thanks for your cooperation. Have Fun!
A very special thanks goes out to Jesse D for partnering on another very meaningful collaboration that pushed us both to try and innovate some different ways to make our characters work together. I suppose art imitates life in more ways than one.
The Naval Deep were brought into even clearer focus with some wickedly kinetic sequential magic from Dillon and an absolutely mesmerizing pinup by Sen. I'm continuously amazed by both of their abilities and how lucky we all are to see them create such magnetic work. Thank you Dillon! Thank you Sen!
Switching gears, Marcus, Pj, Jesse Moore (and family) and I have ventured down to New Jersey to attend and vend at LegionsCon! There will be some new stuff available at our tables and we'll all be ready to catch up and hang out throughout the show (which is already underway!). We love the 4H and are honored to be part of their wild extravaganza that also includes Glycon III in the mix. Please swing through if you're in the New Jersey area and visit with many of the current Glyos makers all set up in the same room!
For those of you that can't attend the show, we've just added the "show exclusives" to the store so you can pick up what's on deck without making the trip!
Keep your eyes on early December for our last wave of 2024, which pays homage to one of my favorite underrated movies of the late 70s.
Thanks again from the whole family for allowing the ship to sail on!
Thank you, Sen, for an outstanding rendition of the new Squid on the block! We're so lucky to be working with you and Dillon on building out these worlds together.

Upon the completion of this great task, each colossal creature came to rest upon a selection of primordial planets, fusing their remaining lifeforce and genetic code directly into the very core of each evolving world, granting a unique host of additional attributes that would go on to define the future lifeforms and landscapes across all of Glyos.
With a curious eye fixed on the performance of their younger Delphi siblings, a duo of Kydrothi and Waellex traveled to the burgeoning system from their own, silently observing another genesis unfold under the ultimate direction of their shared Elder Masters.
Though the pair explored many strange new worlds, there stood one in particular that captured their interest, an oceanic planet that would eventually come to be known as Relgost. It was here that the First Children of the Elder Masters left their small and seemingly inconceivable contribution to the Glyos System in the form of their own genetic codes, forever tethering Relgost to their distant systems.
Many cycles passed, and life quickly evolved throughout Glyos, thanks to the dedicated and benevolent direction of the Delphi, who also served as its guardians. However, as the Delphi became increasingly fixated on fostering the moral compass of their favored children, the Armorvor, something else was secretly taking shape deep within the Planet Relgost.
Concealed from the increasingly distracted Delphi, a hidden civilization had formed within the core of the planet, remotely guided by its powerfully psychic progenitors, the Kydrothi and Waellex.
These aquatic masters of the secret deep called themselves the Relgothans, and evolved on a divergent path untouched by the Delphi, even creating their own companion race, the Orkarru.
Insular in their existence, yet curious to learn about the worlds beyond their own without being detected, the Relgothans and Orkarru decided to build a small fleet of specialized Biovessels that could grant them the ability to travel invisibly amongst the stars.
Now, with the long-awaited arrival of Those From Beyond the Edge, this "Naval Deep" finally emerges to join their true forefathers, choosing to no longer remain unseen beneath the cosmic waves.
The wide variety of unique ideas that the different Glyos makers each regularly come up with continues to turn the creative gears, and before the year is over, you'll see even more new additions to the family.
Wave 102 allowed some previously unrevealed Crayboth storyline to finally trickle out, thanks directly to Dillon and Sen once again sharing their extraordinary talents. Dillon was able to bring everything into focus with his strong visual narrative, which was no small task considering the amount of reference materials he had to coordinate. The ability to explore comics again is 100% because of Dillon and his generous and authentic perspective on creating art, not to mention his extremely warm personality. Paired with the outstanding cinematic pinups that the soulful and stalwart Sen continues to bring to life, we're really in a particularly fortunate era of new Glyos related artwork.
A very, very special thank you also goes out to Cady for composing the incredible song that scored the short animation we worked on together with Marcus. It's a true dream being able to create with you, Bubba!
Sneaking into the wave was the introduction of the "Mite" style designs. The Glymite and Sincromite were both created to deliver a compact experience of playing around with Glyos parts and play patterns at a low price. The Glymite follows the more narrative approach of figures like Pheyden and Pheyoas, with the ability to quickly build up small forms that center around the core body. The Sincromite leans more into Buildman and Sincroborg territory, with building out into different forms being more the natural focus. The initial response seems to have been positive so far, so we'll see if maybe we continue to expand the Mite range.
Shipping was handled by Michelle and I and thanks to all of you we've stayed very busy for the entire month since the initial sale. Music during packing was a span across deep Little Dragon tunes and Chiisana Kyojin Microman videos. My love for the Microman Magne Powers line will never die. Takara, please make those forgotten Beetle Troopers!
Looking ahead, Wave 103 is set to rollout towards the end of next week (looking like October 10th) and will feature some all-new "space-quatic" related things, as well as a modest return of the Mites. We are also set to once again attend LegionsCon in early November, which everybody here is super excited for. We'll post about the details as we get closer to the show.
Thank you again for standing shoulder to shoulder with us and pushing things to stay creative and hopeful, even after all the twists and turns that nearly two decades in the field have brought. We still love doing this with all of you!
Thank you, Sen, for the truly beautiful illustration! It's good to see some old friends that are still hanging out together, even after all these years.

Thank you for learning the ways of Alcray with such patience and skill, Dillon!
