Mission Details

Writing this list brings us closer to completing a long cycle, as a version of this wave was originally supposed to see production back in 2012, during the larger vinyl releases of that time. Multiple factors kept pushing the assortment out, and eventually we put Glyaxia into what seemed like an endless holding pattern. It's 100% thanks to you guys that we now have the ability to bring Glyaxia Command into the fold as it was meant to be- a vinyl infused, Block Based Barrage!

I personally hope you enjoy seeing the return of Glyaxia Command to the ranks, and my fingers are mega crossed that we have better luck with the overall timing than the original Glyaxia assortment back in 2010!

We also want to mention that in the tradition of the original Glyaxia release, we've been working on something special regarding new content, delving back into our roots- but with a little twist.
Get your trigger fingers ready...

We are still on track for this Sunday, May 11th at 9:30PM EST!

There will be purchasing limits on select items: 

-Armorvor (4 limit per customer) 
*Please note that the price of the Armorvor has been raised to $9 on this edition and for all future fully painted versions as well, as our manufacturing costs have gone up.

This round also fills in a few more of the Fisher Price/Micro colors that we have been paying homage to since early last year. The blue hue is very rich and pops like crazy under direct lighting, finding a solid middle ground between the Ecroyex blues from late 2013. Also possessing a visual punch is the new yellow, which tips more towards the golden/Sonesidar range than a simple straight yellow does. When you combine the new Glyaxia yellow with the Sonesidar yellorange, the subtleties make for a pretty neat looking color fusion.

New pics will be popping up as we get closer to Sunday night, and a few small surprises may find their way into the mix to add a little extra fun! Elements of this wave will play directly into our plans for late  July's 7th anniversary assortment, so keep your eyes peeled for possible clues as to what's on the horizon.

The Hades Redux Edition has been bumped back a bit, but is still in motion and will land in either late June or July.

Thanks as always for taking the time to check things out around here, and for surviving another one of these Text Timewarps!

EDIT: I corrected the BELT and SCARF packouts for the Sarvos figures:

-The Yellow Sarvos comes with a BLUE belt and scarf.

-The Blue Sarvos comes with a YELLOW belt and scarf. 

My mind was burnt toast this morning!

Uamodoc

This special version of the Armodoc was put together by the incredible Ayako Takagi, true design genius and mother of all things Uamou.

A small assortment of these were available during the recent NYCC in October, and Ayako and I intend on releasing a similarly themed follow up at some point in 2014.

The paintwork on each custom Ayako created is absolutely out of this world well done.

Whenever I want to see the magic of true talent combined with superhuman determination, I just cast a glance over at our friends in Japan. They are inspiring on every level.

Thank you Ayako!

Red Metal

It has been a wild whirlwind over here for the last week and a bit. With the year coming to a close, the activity at the factory has been nonstop, as well as the action here in the house!

Our final wave for 2013 is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, December 1st at 9:30PM EST. 

Everything is currently on track, but with the intense shipping across the globe right now, there is a small chance that the release date may get bumped a few days. I'm hoping that's not the case, but the holiday season can create roadblocks from seemingly out of nowhere.

A full list will be up on Wednesday.

Over this entire week, we'll be posting up pics of this new round, which is paying homage to multiple classic toylines, with the most prominent being the Microman/Micronauts Giant Acroyear figure (which was a two tone blue with red accent parts). While studying the pantones of the old Giant Acroyear, I couldn't help but notice the parallels between the palette of GI Joe's Cobra and Microman's Acroyears. I've noticed the connection before, but when you get down to the details, the similarities are pretty neat.

The big event for me personally in this wave is finally running a Red Metallic (with pearlescent additive) Argen, along with the rest of the molds. Nailing a proper Red Metallic has been a bit tricky, as too much metallic additive pushes the hue towards a grungier red base color, almost looking more crimson/purplish than a true red.

Now that I have a few of these new Red Metallics in hand, I can safely say that they are a true red hue, akin to the Reydurran red we ran earlier this year. The pearlescent finish creates some vivid effects, which are of course very difficult to photograph!

Overall I'm really excited to have another metallic/pearlescent color to add to the build catalog. I hope you guys are in the mood for some Red Metal!

There will be a surprise or two on Friday night, just to keep things interesting!

This release will feature the debut of our new Swing Joint Sets, available in three colors. The black will be offered at a special price of $3 USD to help get the ball rolling. Pics of some new Contained Builds incorporating the Swing Joints will be posted up tomorrow.

This Warm Grey color has now taken the number one spot for me as far as greys go. The Cool Grey hues were always my favorite, but after playing and building with the Warm Grey I started to really appreciate the look that using this color delivers. Sort of like the old Lego warmish grey blocks from when we were younger (well most of us), not to mention a ton of other references from toys to movies. I particularly love this grey when mixed with the white from the last drop. Some very Ralph McQuarrie/Joe Johnston Concept Boba looking builds spring from the Warm Grey and White mix.

The bright red pays homage to everything from Fisher Price to the spacesuits in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and of course that old Sincroid we call Aves.


Hope you guys have fun with this round, and see something that makes you smile, especially after yesterday.
