Thank You!!!
A gigantic holiday thanks to all of you for making Wave 99 something special. The world we're living in is kind of all over the place these days, so we really appreciate your continued interest and support of all things Glyos on the whole. I'm beyond thankful each and every day that our paths continue to run together over so many hills and valleys. You guys motivate everybody over here to keep pushing further into the depths of our imaginations, discovering new creative frontiers to share with each of you.
Wave 99 went through an abnormal number of revisions during its development, mainly due to so many ideas popping up right as we were about to lock everything in. It was mostly a good thing, but boy did it take us for a ride on the way to the finish line. However, one main point that never shifted was the return of Hades and Argen. Those two originally materialized during some of our biggest breakthrough years, serving as arguably the first truly defined "alternate" forms of the Pheyden and Buildman characters. When I think of Argen I always also think immediately of Ralph and the Gendrone Chronicles that we all worked on together. That was the first big project we ever collaborated on, and it helped cement the foundation of not only a number of key characters, but also some significant parts of the in-universe Glyos System history. We almost completed the second arc of that story, but ended up shifting focus before we wrapped it up.
Michelle and I went into overdrive mode during the processing and packing of orders from the release, clocking in some serious hours to stay on track. Thanks to all of you, we had a heavy stack to make our way through, and we couldn't have been happier to do so. Spent a lot of time in the barn "listening to" the 1980s animated version of Testujin 28, which gets pretty wild in the later part of its run. How often do you get to see a giant robot fight Dracula, a giant robotic mummy, hordes of zombies and the Grim Reaper? It's worth a watch.
As of this writing all orders have been processed, packed and dropped off at the post office, except for what came in over the weekend, which will hit the post later this morning.
Speaking of early risers, make sure you check out Marty's latest wave over in his shop. If you're a fan of "web-head hunting" villains, then he's got the assortment for you. The double builds he created came out extra wicked, packing on the serious Mushi Muscle that only somebody we call the Godbeast could provide. We were also lucky enough to team up with Pat "Bio-Masters" Bussey on the tampo designs.
Now speaking of Pat! The great Cappy and Pat connection continue their amazing collaboration with the rollout of their all-new subline, the Brynelords! Spawned from their combined love of creatures that lurk in the deep of the ocean, these wild super building character sets are finally ready to invade your shelves and bathtubs, especially for some perfect mash ups with the Bio-Mass Mutant, Bio-Mass Monster and Mischiever molds. They also happen to thematically line up pretty well with "The Ones Beyond" the Edge of Space that I've seen warping in and out of here over the last few months...
A massive thank you once again for journeying with us to the far reaches of the Glyos System! We'll have some fun things coming in 2024, starting this February with Wave 100.

But before that, make sure to check out the Toyfinity store later tonight at 7PM EDT, as John will publicly debut an all new Toyfinity character with some very interesting connections to what we have cooking for Wave 74...

Mega Merge
The Onell Design end of the Glyoverse has quietly operated along the edges of an industry that focuses almost entirely on popular licensed properties. Though we are completely dedicated to creating original material, we also have a passion for the classics, and have mixed many tributes into the DNA of our releases over the years. Through teamwork with some of our great partner companies, we've even been lucky enough to work directly on a few legitimate classic property relaunches as well.
Though it's fun to visit the worlds of officially licensed characters, the general direction of Glyos around these parts remains grounded in the weirdo stories that we've been exploring for the last decade. Our new cousin, Mega Merge, on the other hand, will be focused exclusively on licensed stuff, particularly characters from video games, both old and new.
Long time Glyos builders may not immediately be into every technical design decision made with Mega Merge, as the primary directive with this new line is to capture the authentic look and feel of the licensed character first, not just to turn out a super parts-optional figure. That being said, there are actually many cool combinations that can be achieved with what's available just within the first Fallout selections, you just need to approach the building process from a different angle.
The pricing is super competitive with Mega Merge, with the initial offerings landing at only $10 USD per character. This is a major boon for the project, and a lot of work went into nailing that price point for the debut rollout.
If you dig what you've seen so far, maybe give it a shot. Some solid expansions are in the works, and if things shake out the right way, we could see some really fun vintage waves surface along with the current modern properties -and they'll all be fully Glyos compatible.
You can find the first wave for pre-order here.
Thanks for checking things out!
