Gylos General - Weird Halloween Edition

Glyos just had a drop
Battle Tribes still has new stuff in their store
OT Had a couple of skeletons
The forum is still dead and the fanbase is scattered to winds

I'm just making a new one because I want to post pictures here in a bit.

Discussion topic:
>Is Glyos kill?

And here's the old thread even though no one cares.

These are actually pretty fun. I'm not big into TMNT anymore, but they were one of my favorites as a kid. I also probably shouldn't have spent so much on a drop but oh well, it's not like it really hurt anything.

Unfortunately the two ports on each side of the Noboto fist don't line up straight so it looks really weird to have Donnie's staff go "through" his hand, so this has to suffice. I'm pretty happy with these overall.

The alt heads would make fun goblin heads somewhere along the line.

If only I had got one more set of gray swing joints they'd be perfect. As it is, I gave the one with permanently bent arms tonfas because then it still looks right.

Actually I guess what I need is a set of black swing joints. Then I could give these gray ones to the other foot and Shredder could have black pants. I new I should have gotten all my old Glyos stuff from my parents' house.

I got a couple of free accessory sets and a clear smoke cray both, btw.

Nah, you can just ask. At least you used to be able to. I certainly don't buy everything or even buy anything every drop. He might've tightened up membership since then; I have no idea.

>>5995721
He doesn't have a minimum purchase, but, he does require some sort of purchase. Otherwise, what's the point and he is extremely guarded about the photos and info. He has stated before to all beast listers, Zero purchase window shoppers will and are dropped from the list every couple drops.

Welp the big drop is tonight and looks like everything is still going to be available.

How would one go about increasing the fan base of a toyline like this? Online only with no media tie ins? I think cutting back on cons really hurt these guys, when the rig came out they were at toyfair and got talked about by various toy coverage places. Now they hit up half the cons they used to and glyos review spotlights are nearly nonexistant. It almost feels like they have tried to scale back more to the underground art scene, ie toys for people that make toys vs toys for everybody that really made them shine for a few years.
>>
>>6003311
Refocus on a steady line-up + lore to go with it.

TMNT could have been a great idea, yet that store failure screwed them up yet again. So the line slowed down for sales.

Make the drops more focused, less "here's a bunch of random stuff." Possibly smaller drops, but go to a 12 month schedule if the build up makes it possible. Alternate lore drops with homage/new items/vinyl to start building up an audience again.

Advertise. Hit the con circuit, hit the web shows, get MTV to notice again. Geek culture is huge right now and glyos has crawled into a hole because it doesn't want to be caught being too hip. Start aiming at that designer building brick audience out there that go Lego/MB to show this can also be something to explore for their ideas.

Less colors all over the place. There used to be a decent focus that ran through the line back in the day. The Mono drop. The Avengers homage drop. The Henshin drop. Nowadays they throw out all kinds of random colors which unless you're an insider or deep into glyos, look random as fuck.

Update those websites to the modern age. They still look like designs from 10 years ago. Same with getting a better social media presence going. They half ass all of this when OT was going to vanish and then nothing since. Make a dedicated, easy to use website that shows off the various things you can build with everything. You may not need no instructions to know how to rock, but the casual does.

Get. Off. Fucking. Blogspot. And. Get. A. Real. Website. Domain. Working. Nothing says amateur like a domain that forwards to blogspot
>>
>>6003964
Seriously. Give me like an hour and I'll remake their shitty website in WordPress and at least it'll be responsive.

You're absolutely right that they need to get the word out again. Start providing drop lists. New build-oriented waves. Some nice two-color-swap drops. And a fucking vinyl wave!

Hitting the con circuit again would be an excellent idea.

I think your assessment is right. They've scaled themselves back apparently wanting to be more "underground" but all its doing is hurting them unless that's all they ever want the line to be. Which is pretty fucking lame if so.

It's a lot cheaper to pump out trading cards than it is to design and produce a toy, they can likely sell 1/8th of what they were selling and still make more of a profit.

Can anyone confirm or deny what is going on with George and Ayleen? They both still have the last name Gaspar, but are apparently with other people based on facebook posts, etc.

Yet, they've never mentioned a split on Toy Break or the OT forum. Did they break up? Is that the real reason for the October Toys forum going down? Is Gaspar their real name?

If you watch recent episodes George will be snide remarks about other women being "hot", etc. and it's kinda weird they did an episode with Ayleen's mom.

So, who's got the scoop?

To be honest, it always seemed like Ni really wasn't that into Glyos. It seemed like his heart was really in the Anomalies.

The fact that he did a bunch of colorways that matched nothing else didn't help either.
>>
>>6053053
I have spoken to him many times and he was very interested in the toys, however he was always an outsider to the core glyos got community of Matt, Jessie, THE, etc. That has nothing to do with him failing to promote his own line (which I do think is all told probably the best glyos compatible figures for main line play) but does speak to lack of enthusiasm and support from people that otherwise prop themselves up with each other and inspire creativity and opportunities

The outlander is definitely my favorite standalone Glyos figure. A bunch of them would all look fine together on their own just being a bunch of astronauts. I always thought it was weird that his drops never got the publicity that the others did. Although I also think he could have done a better job of that himself. Weird color ways also didn't help.

Unrelatedly. Check out Not He-man and Battle Cat Man.

Myself, I was shocked when I saw how much younger Ni was compared to the rest of the crew. He occasionally seemed a little socially awkward in person, but he was always a cool guy. I gladly throw him some bucks whenever I can because of all the extras he's thrown me over the last 2 years

Yeah. Alot of the paint jobs were super tempting. It's really nice to see them at up in terms of that.

Unfortunately, I've been cutting back on Glyos unless it matches the bulk of my sets. So pretty much nothing that Voss or redlaw or similar for me.

>>6061334
Any source on that? Was there a shilouette I didn't notice?

Man. If I'd known that I woulda jumped on it

>Any source on that? Was there a shilouette I didn't notice?
Matt said OSM was in last night's drop in the blog comments (the first post about Wave 60) and Gemini is known as "The Man from the Twin Star Algol"

>>6061772
>And man, almost no chatter even on a drop night. Glyos really is kill. Or at least the community is. That's a shame.
Getting closer to it. Dropping a full wave with only a day's notice was stupid. Someone noted that the order numbers jumped up 50 spots in the 5 mins between their two purchases so we know people are still buying.

A second wave of 1980s homage and zero lore for anything that wasn't was a terrible plan. I'm getting close to just being Kabuto/Bio Monster only.

I can't blame them. It sells consistently and well.

I don't even like He-man very much but I like the...aesthetic? I guess? The Battle Tribes ones are great since with a simple swap they don't even have to be He-man characters.

I got the Skeleglyan and Beastboth last night. I probably shouldn't have, but they'll go well with that Battle Tribes stuff.

This is just the least interesting that mainline glyos has ever been. It took a big hit when detail lines went away, anyone that doesn't think they looked better before is honestly crazy. And now we get even less lore than before, the entire second half of this year has been a complete bust.

What's been worthwhile? The one cool figure in the past 6 months was the updated glow/clear orange Glyarmor figure which was gorgeous. The return of the OSM, arguably the best glyos compatible figures ever made. But the ninjas are a lame direction to take a space line and the goblin heads don't do much for me(although they're probably better than the other noboto head was). Other than that what have we got? A bunch of homages.

I've made peace with detail lines going the way of the dinosaur. We've now officially had more waves without them with them. And if you do build up a parts library of dozens of colors it's almost acceptable. But this newest direction, of figures that are case in one color and painted a ton but still look like lame color swaps, tons of homages.. ugh. It's just a downward spiral.

I would love to see the line turn around and find an identity again, something that isn't more and more winks and blatant copies to old toys.

I mean, jesus, does anyone else remember how badass something like Council of Travellers was? The last truly great drop IMO, last of the detail lines, tons of great color choices, and the awesome comic with the holy fuck Phanost reveal and then the toy coming with the special head. I miss old glyos.
>>
kek I just checked the store and they slapped a bunch of low stock stickers on figures that still have numbers in the 40s and 50s. A new low. They no doubt realize that they buying trend is if there's still this many within 2 days of the drop they are fucked.
>>
>>6062947
>updated glow/clear orange Glyarmor figure which was gorgeous.

lol liking clear/glow

taste invalidated
>>
>>6062977
How do you figure? With a new store, last drop of the year, Christmas coming, no idea what the original numbers were, some sell outs, etc., seems like the drop was just fine to me.

>>6062947
I disagree. I like to build, prefer lower prices, like occasional high paint on a figure or two per drop. Detail lines are neat occasionally, but, I would hate to see a bunch of high priced/high paint figures and too little to build with. I just hope for more cross company colorways to not only build with, but, to also team build with.

Just my personal preference.

There is not a single colorway you can make this comparison with where the detail lined figure looks worse than the naked figures. Some of the more recent high paint but no detail line figures look okay, sort of, but they are useless for building as we are literally now getting figures with painted limbs that match nothing else, so they're sold as stand alone figures with no companion pieces or accessories and no incentive to parts swap.
>>
>>6063768
Also you can literally track the glyos releases as continuously growing and gaining more and more fans with each detail line drop, vinyl expansion drop, etc etc. Things were getting bigger and bigger both on the production side of things and the fan side of things. By the end of the first year of no detail lines is when the line started to hit the decline, and by the second year it went to less and smaller drops, less new molds, less less less. It seems like almost every glyos decision in the past 3 years has been a negative one, negative in the sense that even putting preference aside the line has been on the decline in terms of numbers both produced and sold, amount of fan interest, etc.

Godbeast is dropping two bio monsters and two matching mushi this friday 12/16 at 8pm cst. Looks like I won't have to wait until the presale monsters arrive to get more monsters!

Honestly I wish I could just buy the balls lol... I don't really need gross tentacles and claws.

Last Glyos drop was all homages, next Robo Force drop looks to be all clear... At least there's 2017 to look forward to.

I'm not a fan of black lines, but I like when it's like a darker shade of the pvc color or some complementary color. Like those orange/yellow/black ones, I think it worked well on those.
>>
>>6072510

I dunno seeing how one spot of paint seems to add a few bucks to the price of figures I'd rather have no extra paint. At like, $12 the Mushis feel great but when they become like $18 fuck paint beyond the eyes.
>>
>>6073864
Say hello to the future, where unpainted is $16, youre forced into buying axis joits, oh, and the future is tonight.

Anybody get a shipping notice from the latest Glyos drop? It's been a week+ and I've got nothing. That's unusual.
>>
>>6074547
I had a notice for this round, my package gets here tomorrow. It's also quite common to not receive a notice so don't panic. If you live in the US and it hasn't reached you by this coming thursday then I'd start to be concerned.
>>
>>6074072
godbeast is a true builder and i'm sure he could give two fucks what you think about being forced to purchase $4 axis joints.

he does quite a bit of different offerings. paint, no paint, low paint, deluxe using other companies' parts/ figures, etc. what more can you ask of him? not like he only offers one type/kind or price of figure. he obviously isn't going to please everyone all the time.

btw, if $4 more for $4 more worth of parts breaks your bank, maybe you shouldn't be collecting toys fucko.

>>6074830

get a load of this faggot

The point is bundles and ONLY bundles are a shit way to offer building parts. What if I want 2 figures but 6 axis joints? Too bad, fucked. What if I want 5 figures but no axis joints? Too bad, fucked. This is just the "Safe" way to sell things because glyos has such a low shit fanbase that isn't expanding at all, so the prospect of having 20 extra sets of joints on hand is enough to mean that one of his kids won't eat that night or something.

It's a shame because the toys are cool, but their greatest strength- being a durable building toy- is cut by having such a low number of parts/colors available, and if you don't get that one color for those two days you'll never get it again. If only the line was big enough to support actual stock.
>>
>>6077866
Or the opposite is true, he offers joints and figures separate and then all the builders gobble up the joints with their orders and no joints are left for others (which has happened multiple times during glyos drops for me). I personally prefer being assured I get some joints to build with each figure and because both of these sculpts are extremely buildable when I buy one of each, I have 4 sets of joints and all offerings (which is plenty for me to build cool shit with). Glyos has bundled stuff in the past as well and I prefer buying it this way. Maybe that's just me though.
>>
Just curious about these things.
How much do they go for? Are they any durable?
>>
>>6078446
I actually love bundle figures as well, but think that having ONLY bundle figures is terrible. It's so limiting. My favorite was back when stuff like the hubset first came out, they had bundle figs with some extra paint, then separate figures and separate hubsets as well. Or in one of the Hades drops they had bundle figs that were characters in specific builds and then regular figures and accessories that were just faceless grunts. That was the best.
>>
>>6078486
Figures on average are now around $12, although the aftermarket is pretty shitty so you can find deals on larger lots quite easily. I've amassed thousands of glyos for 1/10th their original cost.

They are exceptionally durable, although lately there's been a trend of figures with more paint and that can scuff more easily(still tough, just easier than figures with little to no paint).
>>
>>6078498
Oh, cool.
They honestly look like the kind of things kids would enjoy. Not sure if they would make good gifts, though.
>>
>>6078516
As an actual plaything they are fantastic. Building with them does take a little force, moreso than legos, so while they are just as sturdy I would wait until someone is probably 8 or 9 for it to be enjoyable.

The biggest problem would be the initial "open the package" bit. Glyos do not have packaging, just clear plastic baggies, so explaining what it is and what to do with it would be tough. Printing out a few photos online of what they are capable of and sticking it in the box would probably be your best bet.

At least some of the Glyos creators are talented everyday guys working hard at what they love and it shows. You can't even compare that to giant toy companies that have been around 40-60 years. Apples and oranges. If intense hyper real detail and articulation is what your after then why do you even care to comment about glyos toylines? Doesn't make any sense unless your a troll.

>Robin Williams stole entire comedy routines
>"oh... well.... who cares?"

>Coldplay rips off Joe Satriani, Metallica and Led Zeppelin rip off countless bands
>"you just hate a good band! Those songs don't even sound alike!"

>Denis Leary mouths one comment about Keith Richards outliving us all
>"HE STOLE BILL HICKS ENTIRE ROUTINE!!!!"

The first 3 are well-known theft, the latter was bullshit, all because Hicks was a racist who got his fee-fees hurt by his "friend" implying that racists were morons.
>>
>>6095652
So you think the big toy companies are original and make the best toys? They license, they borrow, they use sculptors, they cut corners, and they definitely don't care about kids or collectors. At least most of the glyos companies I feel are the polar opposite. I've met matt, marty, jeremy, etc. and they are everyday guys, friendly, and caring about their collectors. Hell last designer con marty invited everyone around his booth to hit the town and go out to dinner together that night! Super fucking cool guy!!!
