Custom Corps II: Dead Presidents X Onell






















The inimitable Matt Walker of Dead Presidents Designs has brought his incredible painting talents into the Glyos System! This special edition run of hand painted figures brings Matt's signature style into the spotlight for our second official Custom Corps. Consisting of multiple Buildman and Crayboth subsets, as well as a few crazy Lucky Draw deluxe figures, this new round of customs has that Dead Presidents look and feel that makes your eyes melt. The Custom Corps section will open up later tonight with each figure priced at $25 with a limit of 2 per customer. All figures will come blind bagged in black with a header card designed by Matt Walker. Total edition run of 64 bags. One Buildman or two Crayboth per bag, randomly packed and shipped. These are already bagged and sealed so shipping will be quick. Also, you can actually still build with the parts! Thanks to Matt Walker for this- it's very hard to let them go! You guys will not believe these things when you see one in hand, the photos only give a hint at what these look like. There are sparkling flakes and gradients that the light just weaves through. Super high quality, totally durable and sharp as glass- just like Mr. Walker himself. Thanks again Matt!

This vinyl is very interesting to play with. Notice Sanjeev's excellent hand modeling work.

MicroMania


These new formations were put together over the last week. Jesse made the Centaurus and it's one of my favorite configurations yet. The thing is nuts and has a poseable brain/mane! Lobros is an old classic from Micronauts, so I had to make him. The Silver Star Acroyear is just a variation on the last Acroyear that popped out. I did add some new swing hinge joints to the old version so he wouldn't feel outdated next to his brother. Having the new colors and better access keeps us up pretty late these days. Hope you guys are enjoying the latest stuff.

Ready to Roll


The last 2 weeks around here have been a combination of excitement and insanity, with a dash of high anxiety. Thanks to all of you, we had our best roll out of new product in this little company's history. None of us had any idea of what would go down on the first day of release, but a crazy flow of support began at 4 AM EST last Monday and it did not let up in intensity for the rest of the week. We squeaked out a few orders earlier this week, but the majority goes out over the next few days, as we have finally wrapped up packaging, doing QC, and matching everything up. Our deepest thanks go out to everyone who ordered the new stuff, your dedication has once again opened new doors for Onell Design. We are now able to move forward with more projects faster than we had anticipated. All of us here are excited to get cracking on the next generation of Glyos figures, and feel lucky as hell to have the best group of people out there joining us as we evolve. Extra special thanks go out to Dave and Jesse for all their invaluable assistance. One last thing, these last 2 weeks have also driven Marcus to fall of the wagon... well at least he can still type. Thanks again for everything -Matt

REFRESH!


After what seems like forever, we have finally launched a new wave of Glyos figures. Poke around the store (REFRESH EVERY PAGE!) and those areas to your right to track down the latest additions to the crew. You can now power up your collection with all new production Phase Arms and Gobon Blasters that are fun and easy to build with. I also want to take a moment to say a deep thank you to our partner in craziness, Marc Beaudette. Marc put his blood into this update, and his work on the Passcode (and everything else) is truly exceptional. Thanks Marcus, you did real good. We thank you for your patience and hope that you all enjoy the new stuff. Check out the Passcode and make sure to visit Callgrim.com for more Buildman colors selected by the one and only Jesse Moore! Have fun!

Junk Shop Status


What started out as a way to offer cheaper figures and eliminate the less than perfect product that was lurking around has become something of a phenomenon over here. We have been receiving more orders for the Junkpiles every day and are actually very low on the little misfits now. Even though the days of the Junk Shop seem to be numbered, something is coming to take its place. Something with the same great value but without the imperfections. As things grow with the business, different opportunities come up and sometimes they pan out. The next phase of this project will pose some riskier situations, but we are ready to go, thanks to the collective support of all of you. So my apologies that the Junkpile is no more, but the single figure will remain up for a bit longer. Thanks again for making the Junk Shop work, and supporting the growth of Onell Design and the Glyos System with true dedication, unlimited patience and extreme generosity. We will continue to stay connected and build this together.

Alien Memories


Micronauts still stands as one of the absolute greatest toy lines of all time. I love those Aliens and remember playing with my first one, Antron, back in 1979. I hope we can achieve even a fraction of the creativity that came from those plastic masterpieces.

Clopos Escapes


A while back the super creative duo of Triclops Studios, Rob and Luc, sent over their killer character Clopos to be cloned. Well, it's been some time, but I finally managed to paint up one of the hand cast urethane heads and give him a brand new body. Now that he's escaped, I imagine he will be calling for some reinforcements.....
