11th anniversary drop. July 12th

[Talyn]

I think it was the old leftover boxed first run Pheydens and Excellis, Founders, that had been cleaned up. Or maybe it was the beanbots... it was about 2009. I thought they were $4 but I could be mistaken.

Whoa! Sedah is Hades backwards!!

He said, 17 hours later...

I remember those. I think those were originally rejects, because of the bad paint job especially the accent lines. They were sticky too. Love them nonetheless. That's how I was able to get a few of the original Founders. I think those went for $5.

They were $4:

Is it just me, or does Sedah look suspiciously like Klace? I remember Matt mentioning at one point that Klace would eventually develop an appearance that was the reverse of Hades (i.e., GID armor over an all-black body). I even made this guy back when that came up (cir. 2012):

Nice you can still get a brand new Pheyden for $8.

Yeah, I double dipped to get more black Pheydens!

Good catch on the Founders release! I totally blanked on that.

Speaking of going back through the archives, I thought that Sedah sounded familiar, and I realized that this isn't the first time we've seen a Traveler by that name. Take a look at one of the picture's filenames in this post. Turns out that he's been around longer than we thought...

So... Gobon X Mechabon team-up drop one day?

[Loki]

2008, anyone?

...But seriously, if this is a development for Klace, I'll regret not having the cash for that Phanost. Klace has long been one of my favorite Passcode Travelers, even if he's not often featured.

So... Gobon X Mechabon team-up drop one day?

I wouldn't be surprised. Matt loves his crossovers and bulk-up builds.

Even though I was hoping for Delphi, the Mechabon does look pretty sweet. I'll be curious to see how he compares in height when he gets here.

I spent more than I intended to on drop night, now I just went back again to get a Sedah before he's gone, as well as a bunch more axis joints.
I'm really looking forward to getting the Mecahabon in-hand, and hope that we'll see a TFV version in the future.

Just got ship notice!

[Witchwitchwitch]

Just got ship notice!

[Lucario]

Yep, shipping notice!

[Acro Pheyden]

Got my notice too, should be at my home by Thursday if the usps keeps up their end of the bargain.

[TJOmega]

Looks like my order's coming in Thursday as well... aaand I'll be out of town till Monday Gonna be jealous of you all!

[MoralWarfare]

Looking like tomorrow or Thursday for me as well.


I didn't really buy much though.. just some of the silver to do some sort of Argen build. Can't wait!

[akum6n]

Xycoss Mechabon is back up.

[tat2artst]

My package is taking the scenic route all the way to California then back to Ohio lol. Looks like I won't be getting it for a couple more days

[Talyn]

Got mine! Didnt buy the secret figure yet so I cant give any pics on that. Gobon is big and heavy. Kind of has the same problem as other gobons, hip joints are a bit loose and it wants to fall over. Extra parts are really cool. Got lots of extras.

There are a few parts on the mechabon that look like separate pieces but that I think are glued on covers or something, they cont clearly come apart. The first thing I did was open the body to see if there was another head in there and it does look like the body has a separate piece in there, but it seems attached.

Ooh, I know it's probably nothing but there's this tiny part of me that thinks it's a secret part glued in as an easter egg... I don't want to damage mine, but I'll have to try some things out.

I haven't taken a pic yet but the color and paint on the Mystery figure is stunning! Likewise with the Mystery Glyarmor.

I also built this beast https://www.instagram.com/p/BlZK-BSHmks/?taken-by=witchx3

Does anyone know if the villser green is just the Sentinel secondary color? I'm not in any position to check my own figures, and I'm trying to figure out if I can use my villser green axis joints with Sentinel.

[akum6n]

My compliments to the Onell team on the color choices for this drop. The darker gunmetal paint over the silver gunmetal PVC is very subtle, but adds depth to the appearance of the figure. I also appreciate the 'pistachio' colored eyes of Hades' Sarvos head, which play off the GID green. Finally, the use of the light teal on nearly all of the figures in the drop ties the wave together nicely. Not to get all artsy-fartsy, but considering we've had several Hades (and Argen)-centric waves at this point, I was really impressed by they refreshed and built on the existing color schemes.

[Talyn]

I think that pistachio paint color is actually GITD paint... its not super bright, but it does appear to glow.
