Androbos Reflex Suit

Scar Pheyden returns to track down the Armored Eidrallim that defeated him...this time with some reinforcements. Nebula Pheyden operates the Androbos Reflex Suit. With four grappling arms and extra power, this bizarre suit may just be capable of doing what Scar Pheyden could not...bring down an Armored Eidrallim.

Custom Moody For Bovinyl Show

Big thanks go out to the crew at Bovinyl for including us in their first custom show in the USA being held at the Pravus Gallery in downtown Phoenix, AZ on May 2nd 2008. The show is entitled "Don't Cry Over Spilt VINYL" and includes a crazy roster of today's talented customizers. When we got word that we could participate in this cool project we jumped at the chance. The Bovinyl platform figure is called a "Moody" and is sort of a demon/cow hybrid cast in white vinyl that is really great quality and excellent for messing with. Super solid and tough as nails. After eyeballing it for a while this bizarre ship sprung forth.

For the pilot, a new character makes his appearance in the Glyos System...Govurom! Grosser than Phanost and crustier than a Crayboth, Govurom is a twisted Sincroid that has fused with a renegade version of Pheyden. Containing two personalities in one body has taken a toll, creating a very decayed and warped visage that is horrifying to those who look upon it. Even though his mind may be slightly bent, the being known as Govurom is extremely dangerous and unpredictable in his actions, piloting his Dimension Jumper throughout multiple realities in search of ancient ruins and their legendary artifacts. His ultimate reasons for these quests remain a mystery.

We hope you guys enjoy this Moody Custom and encourage everyone to take a stab at chopping one up. Thanks go out to Ted Stilson and Matt Connelly for their amazing support and generous contributions to the independent toy scene.

New York Comic Con

We know things have been a little quiet around Glyos lately but that is about to change. On kind of a last minute thing we will be at the New York Comic Con this weekend (April 18th -20th), set up with our friends at Rocket North in the Small Press area. This con will see the debut of two all new colorways for our old standards -Pulse Version Pheyden and Empire Version Exellis. These guys are available now in the store to coincide with the con for those who can't make the trip. We also have a special surprise coming around the corner that may trickle out in New York for a bit...

Scar Pheyden VS Armored Eidrallim

Scar Pheyden returns to challenge one of the powerful Armored Eidrallim. Coated in a Bio-Alloy, the Armored Eidrallim represent the highest level of their strange species. When an Eidrallim Soldier has achieved many victories and completed numerous galactic travels, a new level of conscience is realized. These enlightened warriors are then subject to a process that coats every part of their bodies with an ancient Bio-Alloy.These Eidrallim emerge permanently armored and masters of combat. Scar Pheyden learns just how easily one Armored Eidrallim can claim victory, even over him. Maybe he needs some backup...

Suckadelic Invitation

The creative innovator known as Sucklord has put together a very cool event that mashes up food, denizens of NYC and fresh toys to keep a stranglehold on your interest. This agent of strange is funny and smart as hell. Onell Design freaking loves Sucklord. We are honored to be part of anything he does and have sent down a few one of a kind custom Glyos figures with hand cast heads along with our latest goods to add to the booty. If you're in NYC go check it out.

Moore Pheyden

Jesse knocked this beauty out last Friday night. We love seeing these two in particular go at it. Pheyden and Phanost definitely are not getting along in this one because somebody must have had his fill of "space gas". That's an April 1st description.... I actually think there may be some truth to it now that I think about it, because Jesse and the rest of the Friday night crew have to endure some serious human vapors up in the attic. Maybe this drawing is a subliminal message from Jesse to "contain the pain". Damn you Jesse.

Stannic Insanity

Our new contributor, William Cypser, has sent over an incredible rendition of Stannic from Gear's Edge. This drawing is completely freaking insane. Amazing, ridiculous detail and a great stance. Will, you're crazy and we love it.

More Moore

Here are Jesse's latest illustrations of our most recent additions to the Glyos System. We get to see Buildman Ranic in one of his many forms knocking Cosmic Wave Pheyden into next week as well as Callgrim and a mysterious version of Scar Pheyden back to back. These amazing additions will actually see print later this summer in our next mini book, along with a bunch of other work based on all the strange characters floating around the Glyos System. Awesome work Jesse!

The Art of William Cypser

We met illustrator/designer William Cypser about a year ago at Toy Fair in 2007 where we got to take a look at some of his super detailed and refined illustration work. Needless to say, the stuff was pro. Over the last year we have been lucky enough to receive the occasional crazy drawing from Will, as he puts his spin on various characters hiding out in the Glyos end of the universe. These recent entries are glorious. Seeing Audie and Pheyden drawn with fresh eyes is really interesting and pushes the core designs to new places. We love it. Big thanks to Will for taking the time to humble us with his wicked skills. Keep 'em coming!

The Mystery Trio Arrives

The latest round of Pheyden variations have arrived! Take a gander at Andromeda Pheyden (orange/glow), Eclipse Pheyden (black/white) and Cosmic Wave Pheyden (clear blue/clear). They are available now in the store. These 3 figures are a bit more limited than the regular releases we have been doing, Andromeda Pheyden being the least produced of the bunch. We hope you guys enjoy them.

More Buildman Ranic

Buildman Ranic continues to move along. These are a few colorways we are playing around with that were cast in urethane by our resident mold making master, Ron Daley. Ron has been responsible for making every silicone mold for our sculptures that we have ever used in the prototyping process, as well as bringing an incredible skill set that includes just about anything you could want in a toy designer and mechanical engineer. Buildman Ranic is the product of a true collaboration between some really dedicated toy maniacs. Thanks Ron, for the truly amazing work you do.

Mystery Trio


Here's a mysterious look at 3 new Pheyden colorways that may appear in the store this weekend. Keep your eyes peeled for these new additions.

Moore Illustrations

Jesse keeps ramping it up with his latest round of amazing illustrations.We get a look at Buildman Ranic, Exellis surveying a strange planet and Callgrim contemplating whether or not he has wiped out the right Pheyden. Speaking of that dangerous character, there are very cool plans for a fantastic Callgrim figure lurking on Jesse's drawing board right now. All kinds of neat variations are floating around for some crazy colorways and accessories for the eventual release (hopefully this summer).

More Sneaky Pics

Here is a look at a mysterious new character who will be rolling out this summer. The head is cast in urethane and combined with PVC production parts for the actual piece in these pics. The final versions will be all PVC production parts.... though that's not to say there won't be some special urethane cast only specific heads in the near future.
