Friday Roll Out

We are on track to release a new round of stuff this Friday, February 18th at 9PM EST. This is a follow up to the Henshin Wave, featuring some clear color styles that fill in a few more spaces of the rainbow! Here is the list of what's dropping:

-Clear Red Buildman Gendrone
-Clear Red Echo Morph w/Phase Arm and Gobon Blaster
-Clear Red Axis Joints
-Clear Blue Exellis w/Govurom head
-Clear Blue Axis Joints
-Clear Orange Pheyden w/Govurom head
-Clear Orange Axis Joints
-GITD Green Pheyden w/Govurom head
-Argen MK II
-Silver Axis Joints
-Silver Phase Arm Set SINGLES (one Phase Arm and one Gobon Blaster per package instead of two -trying something new with the method of release)
-GITD Green Rig

This is the whole assortment for Henshin Wave 2!

On the horizon we have 3 upcoming releases for the RXH crossover series with Mori, featuring some new Pheyaos action and a very special triple joint project that has some bite (ha!).

Some brand new parts are also being made that should open up even more building potential. I can safely say that my eyes have nearly fallen out from sculpting this new batch of stuff. Without Ron to keep the balance I would literally be running around the frozen woods in pure madness! Thank you Yoda! I hope you guys are ready to meet the all new Glyanauts around April...

On one last note, The Beanbot will be returning to its roots here at Onell and will be renamed in the process. Next assortment will see the debut of the Phaseon Gendrones! It's good to have the little guy back where he belongs.

Fishing Around

That little Glyanaut got something rolling while I was building some stuff, resulting in a full spectrum of Adventure People inspired creations. As I was working on the designs, it became more and more clear that having fully interchangeable "human" proportioned characters is a welcome addition to the ranks and has me analyzing the 2" scale a little harder.

One of the goals from this series of constructions was to "nail the scale" with the Glyans, and I think the look presented above is the most in line for what would work, in aesthetics and functionality. I also really like the mysterious "helmeted" vibe these guys have, like it could be anyone under the hood. It reminds me of all the neat characters who would never show their actual face, their masks ironically being what defines them. That being said, I've been working on some human heads and they actually fit proportionally very well with the size and form factor of these new body constructions. I hope you guys get a kick out of these builds, and hopefully they get the juices flowing for a full scale Glyan invasion.

PS- The Fisher Price Adventure People line was one of the greatest damn piles of plastic that ever went into production. It still inspires me to this day with almost everything I do regarding toy development. What a play pattern those toys had.

Glyanaut

This one is very simple, but has a real NASA vibe going on. I like the idea of a basic astronaut that can journey around and stay safe within the confines of his spacesuit. There are probably tons of snacks in his gigantic backpack (and maybe a little bit of oxygen as well).

Option Added

Here are a few more Build Configurations from the last round. This marks the first time we have posted something with our Special Beanbot parts included in the structure. I love those little Beanbots and there are quite a few Glyos themed parts hidden in their design. The big Ent looking creature is made with 100% Beanbots and the Buildrilla is a combination of Rockum and Megas Buildman, Pheyden Blue Phase Arms and the Special Beanbots with detail lines we are now offering. The Buildrilla was inspired by Iron Kong from Zoids The black configuration is kind of like Metal Gear Rex, ED -209 and some kind of Zentraedi bio suit combined. He can collapse down into a mobile cannon mode.

Beantown Beanbots


Yo! Marcus here. The Beanbots are something that Matt and I have been working on for the better half of two years now, and they are finally available at BeantownToys.com. All the parts of both the Beanbots and Spoon Racers are 100% fully interchangeable with all of the Glyos System Series. Add some wheels and a few new twists to your customs. Some very interesting parts are hidden in the sculpts by that lunatic... is that an all new phase arm I see with that Beanbot? Check em out!

Oh yeah, that Honey Bean is from Series 4, which drops in June- 25 all new Beans to hunt down.
