BIT FIGS

Greetings!

Since this is my first post here at our new digs I'll quickly introduce myself. I am Marc Beaudette (locals call me Mahcus), co-owner of Onell Design.

My twin brother and I also run a small record label and artist collective, Music ADD.

Our latest project is Bit Figs, collectible mini figures inspired by pixel art. The first Series will be produced by Leblox, a 3D printing app based in Paris. Look for characters from the Glyos System & Passcode Series, the MADD roster and beyond!

In addition to the 3D prints, there will be a limited number of hand cast figures available soon. Sign up at http://bitfigs.com to receive first access and release info.

Both Onell Design and Music ADD have a lot of exciting things going on. While I kept to the sidelines during the OTF days, I will be more proactive here especially with Bit Figs related conversation.

Thanks for reading and being a part of the Glyos Connection!

These are fantastic and I can't wait! I feel like its been a long time seeing them at shows and not being able to buy them.
The 3D printed versions are a great way to judge demand, that's an excellent idea! I look forward to having a whole group of them.

Man, I still remember seeing some of the WIPs for this project and being blown away. Glad to see these come to fruition, Marc! Here's hoping these take off so that we get to see more designs in the future!

EDIT: Wait, what. Sullkren? Oh damn, it's on, son.

These are super cool! How big are they?

Most are around 1.5" in their standard form. Crayboth are 1.25", and there are a few even shorter...

A unique feature to the Leblox app is the option to increase the print size before ordering!

Holy smack! I wasn't expecting these guys to show up. Marcus, are we going to see to just one figure for the initial release, or a bunch of them?

Without giving too much away, the initial rollout will feature... more than the 3 already revealed. ;)

And only half of them are from the Glyos System...

This is what I was hoping for! I love the ones we've seen, but I also want some original Marc characters. Excellent!

So, wild guesses here: the Onell dragon, the mouse-arcade cabinet, and/or the gas-mask-wearing fellow from one of the Destroy Babylon album's artwork?

Onell dragon? I'm drawing a blank on that.

Hoping for an armodoc in the near future.

Don't quote me but I think Roy was referring to Ollen ?

What is the size comparison to a standard sized Glyos figure like Pheyden?

Has anyone ordered these yet? I'm curious what the pricing and shipping costs are. As much as I love them I just don't think I can afford to start collecting another toy. especially when it needs international shipping.

Just checked them out, I too was curious for more info.

The cheapest (and thus smallest) possible size for a traveller is right under the height of a standard lego minifigure at 3.8 cm. They cost $18.72 and shipping is $4.99 to the states. There's a 10% discount for buying a second figure, but shipping increases with every figure more than the 10% despite the packages likely being the same size for a few of these tiny beasts. The biggest you can get is a figure about 10 inches tall, for the low price of $3,445 :lol: A figure about as tall as a standard traveller appears to be approx $100. Best bet is to stick to the bit size in bit figs, although my hope of building hundreds of lego brick sized core blocks were just dashed. About to order a Sullkren and maybe a crayboth to check em out in person.

These look great I especially like the record player on treads. :lol: I was wondering if you were going to do a Viyer. :tb-viy:
