Star Marshall: Lost Sincroid Army Advanced

 

Star Marshall Sincroid Superior

Mission Details

After a few delays with some overseas shipping, everything is finally in place for the new assortment to roll out! 

This wave has a few special points of interest, a major one being our first crossover production run of Toyfinity's Maxx Zero, from their Robo Force line. Due to the combined creative development of Maxx Zero, the core figure was loaded with many hidden configurations while being prototyped by Ron and I at the shop. One particular build, the Gendrone Force Defender, was designed to eventually surface in our ongoing story arc. The idea behind this specific form centers around a lost piece of Old War technology discovered by Argen while mining the database of a prototype Buildstation located in the Sendollest Drifts for information. Argen soon puts the Gendrone Force Defender into full production, pulling it from obscurity to join the ranks of the Gendrone Rebellion. Special thanks go out to John Kent and the Toyfinity team for sharing the mechanical madness that is Robo Force with us!

The other focus for this wave is of course the metallic Ultra Bronze, which is meant to evoke an AD&D/Golden Axe/Ray Harryhausen vibe. Forged in the metallic Ultra Bronze PVC, both Skeleden and the Neo Granthan in particular are inspired by the days of playing Sega's Golden Axe while on my lunch break during the dreaded days of summer school. Hopefully this new hue adds some fun to the mix!

We are still on track for this Tuesday, March 31st at 9:30PM EDT.

Cliff Travels

Elder Exellis recently spent some downtime exploring the Cliffs of Granthan (aka Gloucester).

This small nook is where I've been playing with toys since I was about 6 years old. Whenever I visit Gloucester up on the North Shore, it's the first place I go. Many of my favorite "rock ships" are still wedged (docked) in the cracks, even after all this time.

LSA Shipping Update

All the orders placed since the launch last Sunday night have shipped. Anything that was placed today will go out first thing Monday morning.

Thank you once again for making the return of the LSA a fun release!

We'll have a special post popping up shortly in regards to the October Toys Skeleton Warriors Kickstarter, spotlighting some more details about Skeleden. Just a few more days to go and the finish line is getting closer!

Thank You!!!

Thank you for a great rollout last night! We're very excited that the response on the LSA was positive, especially after cooking for such a long time in the production oven! Considering how many cool new things are currently out there, your continued dedication and interest in Glyos absolutely means the world to us.

With these mini releases, the risk is definitely greater, as it costs more to produce the detail lined/extra painted figures. That being said, it's been a ton of fun making them! I've been carrying around an LSA team in my pocket for the last few weeks and I still can't believe they are finally in production. In my mind, this current version of the LSA was resurrected by Elder Exellis to right the many wrongs that the original LSA had done. I look forward to hearing what you guys see them as, and really hope you enjoy them when they land in your hands.

Switching gears for a moment, Marcus and I have been working away on something special that's tied in to the current Skeleton Warriors Kickstarter, spotlighting Dungeon Traveler Skeleden. It takes things in an interesting new direction, with some classic AD&D vibes! Both Marcus and I are also super excited to welcome his twin brother, John Beaudette into the mix as the composer for all of the project's new music! John did a knock out job, and brings a fresh twist to the equation. Keep your eyes peeled for something to pop up here on the blog shortly.

Thank you once again for keeping the engine running! As we head towards our 7th anniversary next month, I keep reflecting on everything that's transpired over the years since we started, and I could not be more grateful for what we've been allowed to do.

We're excited to see what the future holds!


 

Lost and Found

The store is LIVE!

Refresh: onelldesign.com/store

Please note: There are NO LIMITS on any figures!

You may place ONE ORDER WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR tonight. We are seeing a high volume of traffic and need everyone's cooperation to make this as smooth as possible. After the initial dust settles, we will allow customers to place another order. Thanks for your understanding and support. Have fun! 

Also note that past releases are still available over at the Buildstation.

Mini Mission Details

We've been working on so many things over here that I just realized a quick list was still in order!

It's a tiny one:


Lost Sincroid Army


Lost Sincroid Army -Standard (Green/ Pale Yellow/ Dark Green painted limbs/detail lines/ painted eyes/ removable belt/ small scarf/ Elder Exellis head/ Dark Traveler Head/ Dark Traveler scarf) $10

Lost Sincroid Army -Granthan Corps (Pale Yellow/ Orange/ Black painted head/detail lines/ painted eyes/ removable belt/ small scarf/ Black painted Elder Exellis head/ Pale Yellow Dark Traveler Head/ Pale Yellow Dark Traveler scarf/ Extra paint accents) $12

???? -$12


This small wave has been something that I've dreamed about for many years. The colors are strange and the characters are odd, but these Sincroids mean a lot to us over here.

I could only ever dream of being able to play with an actual battalion of LSA, back when I was working on Rechlen and Aves almost a decade ago.

The paint work on these new LSA figures is some of the tightest to come out of our factory yet, and we even tried a few new things for these editions. Extra paint has been used in areas that we normally do not paint, such as the Standard LSA arms and thighs as well as the strange black heads on the Granthan Corps LSA. It took quite some time to finish up this order, and multiple revisions and tweaks happened all along the way. We'll delve more into that in the coming weeks.

Thank you for allowing us to finally put in this piece of our weirdo puzzle!

LSA

Standard Lost Sincroid Army

Man, has this little bugger been in the works for a long time!

Full production LSA will hit the store as a mini release this Sunday, June 15th at 9:30PM EST.

For the first time in our history, there is literally an army of Sincroids out in the barn! This figure now ranks up there as one of my all time personal favorite runs, and being able to finally assemble Elder Exellis in these Standard LSA colors has been surreal. The Sincroid/Elder Ex/Dark Traveler mold was created with this specific color scheme in mind.

There will definitely be a surprise on Sunday night as well, one that a few of you old school guys might find kind of interesting (remember the first Passcode?).

I know the timing is tight with all the intense Kickstarter action happening at the moment (who would have ever guessed that 4 action figure campaigns would happen at once!), but this round is more of a "soft" release, designed to directly add to the selection of "Standards" in the Buildstation. The production numbers are higher, as these figures are meant to stick around for a while.

More pics of the LSA and that renegade Skeleden will be popping up as we head into the weekend!

Configuration Optional

Thank You!!!

Thank you for a great Sunday night release!

The traffic was up on the site, and the new PVC selections seemed to resonate pretty well with you guys in general. A few items went faster than anticipated, particularly the new Hades and the vinyl Conversion Kit. For me it was an extra special night, as seeing Hades and Argen together again brought back many memories of the old Glyaxia launch. That bananas launch marked a turning point for our runt of a company. Man, I will never forget how insane that whole experience was. I thought Marcus was going to need therapy after everything went live. Tears were actually shed. Ha!

Another few surprisingly fast sellouts were the accessory sets. We've received a number of requests for Axis Joints in particular to be restocked. As of this writing, an additional order has been placed for the silver, glow and black metallic Axis Joint Sets, with an expected delivery date of mid to late March. Hopefully this restock will come in handy for those that missed the initial round. We have also been thinking about possibly running Hades MK III again, also in response to some of you missing out on Sunday night. Please let us know what you think about this possibility if you get a chance, down in the comments section.

Our next wave is planned to pop up at the end of March, and will feature a small assortment of figures, some of which will have detail lines and extra paint applications. If things line up right, the "Alt" months will be the place to find experimental figures that offer something unique, serving as a compliment to our larger releases.

Speaking of larger releases, late April is the target date for our next big round. There will be Blocks and maybe some Wedges and Switch Pins as well. After all, Glyaxia Command wouldn't want it any other way.

Thank you once again for keeping the engine running! We owe you guys absolutely everything and we'll keep pushing to improve and evolve.

Shipping begins on Thursday!

Mission Details

The photography on this round has been a bear! Due to the special effects in the plastics (neon, metallic and pearlescent), trying to nail the precise color balance proved a bit trickier than usual. As we go further into the spectrum of hues, especially with pearlescent, neon and metallic additives, capturing exactly what these plastics do under different lighting becomes more challenging. The pics seen above are accurate under the lights in the studio, but outside -bathed in the rays of the sun- they can look quite different. Photographing the figures can make your eyes cross, but having fun playing with them makes up for the madness!

All that being said, I'm digging this round of PVC! The actual material has a rich luster, and each color really, really pops.The durometer is slightly harder than earlier waves this year, so you may want to warm the parts up before building as the weather becomes colder.

On to the details! We are confirmed for this Sunday, December 1st at 9:30PM EST!

Playing with Micronauts and Adventure People as a kid truly had a profound influence on the direction of my creativity, and being able to come full circle and pay homage to those classic toy lines this year has been something of a personal dream come true. For whatever reason, building with the Metallic Pearlescent Red Phaseons and all the matching accessories has been extra fun, and having Argen back (and finally in red) rounds out the return of these two Gendrones after nearly a year out of full production.

This final color selection for 2013 is about as direct a tribute to the Takara/Mego masterpiece Giant Acroyear as I could muster. It's my hope that some of you find yourselves transported to the golden memories of being a kid when you see these particular colors together again.

This wave has electrified my desire to build and take the figures on new mini adventures in a big way. After an especially tough 2013, I still believe it's important that we take a little time and remember to play once in a while.

With whatever the toy may be.

Thanks for reading this last list of 2013!

Thank You!!!

Thank you for bringing us through another release!!! The turnout was excellent and all of us over here are so grateful to each of you for making the new wave a positive one. 

This was our biggest launch of 2013, and we were pretty nervous going into the Sunday night sale. The larger amounts of stuff that we have been ordering have progressively made the stakes climb higher with each new rollout. Grey hairs are no longer strangers on our collective heads! You guys have made all the sleepless nights 100% worth it, though!

This Gatekeeper wave brought back a lot of memories from when we did the Soul of the Traveler assortment. I clearly remember sitting upstairs in the attic, working like crazy with Marc and Rich (Disasterpeace) on what was to become one of the most intense Passcodes we would ever put together. The old Granthan Rig first made its appearance, as well as the original Gatekeepers, sporting the prerequisite detail lines of the time. I still listen to Rich's soundtrack on a regular basis.

Sometimes thinking about the old days helps to shape the future, and my mind has been moving like a joystick pondering the possibilities of 2014. Some new projects are in the works, projects that may take us down a few different rabbit holes together.

Thanks again for being there for the last 6+ years. It's a privilege to be working on this stuff every day, and Michelle , Marc and I feel unbelievably lucky that you guys continue to let us explore these strange worlds inside our imaginations. I promise we'll work like hell and do everything we can to never let you down.
