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!
The Glyos compatible Infinite Pheyden launch was a real whopper thanks to all of your amazing support. The combination of the 4H fans with our core group resulted in the necessity of our first ever Reorder Pre-Order, which really blew us away. That reorder is currently in production, and we hope to have it stateside by early December to begin shipping. Our heads are still spinning a bit, but we've been recalibrating to navigate the new terrain. Michelle, Marc and I truly thank all of you for being cool throughout the process and the amazing response to this phase of the Infinite Pheyden project.
I'm going to jump right into the next set of time-sensitive current events. We will once again be attending the absolutely awesome LegionsCon event this weekend, down in New Jersey. This show has become the de facto destination for most of the Glyos related makers to gather and connect with everybody. Jeremy and Joe put on a hell of an event that we now look forward to all year long. Please come by the "Glycon" section and say hello! Lots of brand-new figures from a multitude of incredible makers will be ready for action!
On the subject of brand-new things, we will also have the next two Infinite Pheyden offerings debuting at LegionsCon, this time spotlighting the mysterious Anti-Pheyden as the primary form (but the figure still comes with all the alternate heads and parts).
Following this debut, we will then be launching Wave 110 on Saturday night, November 8th at 9:30PM EST.
Wave 110 will also feature the two new LegionsCon Infinite Anti-Pheyden figures so everybody at home will have a chance at them as well. We ordered a good chunk, but if there's another hyper fast sellout, we are open to running another Reorder Pre-Order as we adjust to meet the demand. This will be a work in progress as the natural state of things emerges over the next few waves.
Marcus and I will be attending for the whole show, and we're both super psyched to talk in person with everybody who swings by the table. Bit Figs fans will be in for an extra special treat, particularly for those that dig special packaging and are searching for some new colors run especially for the show.
Thank you again and we hope to meet up this weekend!
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!
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!
