The Glyos Connection

From the blog:

Looking forward into June, we'll all see some amazing new twists from both Spy Monkey and Bio-Masters that should make the fantasy fans go bonkers. We'll be rounding things out at the end of June with our own fantasy themed wave that bookends a special month of medieval madness!

Time for some rampant speculation! Personal hope: we see a Phase Sentinel / Argenesis made-up to look like a knight in shining armor.

What do you think and/or hope is in store?

One of my favorite drops in recent years was the D&D themed wave, I would not complain about another round, especially now that we have the Bio-Mass Monster to be our Beholder and our barbarian class from Spy Monkey.

If its medieval fantasy influenced then my guess is we'll see some metallic PVC for armored up figures. My personal preferences would be to see either ultra silver or gunmetal again but I'd definitely welcome a metallic blue to the mix, specifically the one SpyMonkey used for their Optimus Gearo figure. I'd personally like to see the LSA or Dark Traveler return but this time with Glyarmor.

I'd honestly be surprised if we don't see Skeleden return in some form. That leads me to another thought, I think it'd be cool to see a Harryhausen inspired wave. Several OSM could be used like Horrorscope as Medusa (just needs her lower snake-half made from axis joints) and Cyclops as, y'know, the Cyclops. Something bulky like the Kabuto Mushi could be the Kraken. Skeleden or more Titan Skeletons could be used to gang up against the hero to battle. A gold & silver Crayboth could be the hero's sidekick too. Honestly, thinking about all this I'd be cool seeing an amalgamation of Harryhausen and Golden Axe. Excuse my rambling guys

This is what I thought of immediately when I read medieval madness

"Prepare to draw your weapons June 29th, 9:30 PM EDT."

I'm excited! The new tampo looks great, and most likely teases the inclusion of a Varteryx.

Agree Venenor, Skeleden and his mighty axe would be at home in this theme. Harryhausen tribute drop another great idea.

Dare I say it? Unreleased Battle Tribes figure in this new Glyos colorway will be the secret fig?

That would make the most sense, with the phrase "Crosssed Swords" battle tribes would be the obvious choice for swords.

I wonder what (if we get one this round) the mystery figure will be a homage to?

Here is what we now know for this drop:

• Varteryx are likely, if not cryptically confirmed.
• No Gendrones this round.
• Skeleden is confirmed.
• "Skullboto minions" are also confirmed, albeit what they will be is unknown at this time.
• Three types of metallic PVC are confirmed.
• Weapons set will be included, albeit how is unknown at this time.
• New tampo and faction confirmed.
• Mystery figure is confirmed.
• OSM crossover figure is confirmed, all but confirmed to be Mystron.
• Accessory sets will be available to build Argenesis / Phase Sentinel / Pathfinder.

And for next drop:

• Confirmed to be late July.
• Confirmed to involve, in some capacity, Gendrones.

That being said, let the wild guessing begin!

If the drop is metallic blue,
this old build comes to mind.

The above Neo Sincroid is sporting some Axis Joints (1 full set) and a scarf, which makes that helmet look kind of knight-ish

Is there a possibility that a skull head from either Battle Tribes or Skeleton Warrior could be run seperately from its body and included with a noboto to make the skullboto minions?
I can never figure out what shares a mold.

Poised to be a blockbuster drop! You had me at 'Skeleden'

So with three metallic colors coming, based on past stowaway crayboth coupled with the teaser image colors, I'm guessing we will finally see this light blue metallic colorway.


Also let's not forget those two orange stowaway we have yet to see come into full production.


I would love to see a Neo Ultra Silver make an appearance as well!

No pictures yet... I don't like suspense.

Pretty normal for this year. Should see something late tonight or early tomorrow morning. That's been the MO for Onell drops in 2017.

Please tell me the capes are included...

I am HYPED!!!

What do you think the capes will add to the price?

Glyninja Urai is the most recent released that matches up pretty solidly with the Glyknights. It looks to have about the same amount of paint masks/tampos plus the extra RoboForce weapon parts but of course no cape. Urai was $15, I'm thinking the Glyknights will be $16. That's just my guess, maybe it's higher or maybe its $15 again.

Knights with guns = Space Knights that Glyarmor really coming into advanced use with the combination of cape/red and the armor color looks great!

I am going to need many of those capes...

More updates to add to the master list in bold:

• Varteryx are likely, if not cryptically confirmed.
• No Gendrones this round.
• Skeleden is confirmed.
• "Skullboto minions" are also confirmed, albeit what they will be is unknown at this time.
• Three types of metallic PVC are confirmed.
• Weapons set will be included, albeit how is unknown at this time.
• New tampo and faction confirmed.
• Mystery figure is confirmed.
• OSM crossover figure is confirmed, all but confirmed to be Mystron.
• Accessory sets will be available to build Argenesis / Phase Sentinel / Pathfinder.
• All four Accessory Sets will be available in the dark gunmetal metallic.
• Swing Joint and Axis Joint sets will be available in the other metallic colorways.
• The capes are factory-produced from a "slightly stretchy" fabric.
• There will be no vinyl for this drop.
• Each Glyknight will be $16.
• The Skullbotos will not be run in metallic PVC.
• Both Glyknight shoulders will feature tampos.
• The gunmetal metallic is a close match for previous runs.
• All three Glyknights share the same toe/hand/etc. detail color.

Will continue to update as events warrant!

Well, after seeing Glyknight Kyllark up close and that snazzy tampo on his shoulder (that I don't believe the other two Glyknights have) I'm thinking Gotherrus may finally be returning.

EDIT: After inspection by the keen eye of Kranix, I now see that the others have the tampo too. Also looks like it's on both shoulders. That silver is very deceptive.

For those wondering about the similarities & differences of MK I & MK II Standard Skeleden:

Even more updates to add to the master list in bold:

• Each Glyknight will come with painted Varteryx and Neo Sarvos heads.
• No Gendrones this round.
• Skeleden Mk II will come with two sets of armor and axes, and can be a feature going forward.
• The Skullbotos are adorable.
• The metallic PVC colorways are confirmed to resemble the old Legion Blue, Bio Hunter Gunmetal, and Ultra Silver metallics.
• Weapons set will be included, albeit how is unknown at this time.
• Mystery figure is confirmed.
• OSM crossover figure is confirmed, all but confirmed to be Mystron.
• All four Accessory Sets will be available in the dark gunmetal metallic.
• Swing Joint and Axis Joint sets will be available in the other metallic colorways.
• The capes are factory-produced from a "slightly stretchy" fabric.
• There will be no vinyl for this drop.
• Each Glyknight will be $16.
• Both Glyknight shoulders will feature tampos, but the Swing Joints will not.
• All three Glyknights share the same toe/hand/etc. detail color.
• Limits will be in place for the Glyknights and other items.

At this point, I'm not sure what more can be updated until the drop itself. There's also a teaser about "PVC Villser" made here, so make of that what you will...
