The Glyos Connection

I'm fairly new to the Toyfinity bots - depending on the color (and assuming they will all match) this might be the drop where I focus more on those and broaden my building scope!

This latest FP Space homage is kind of wild looking and probably not quite what you'd expect, but it rounds out the mix in a pretty neat way. It's a little hard not to show this one!

• All three Toyfinity molds will be present in the same color, configured per Glyos releases.
• Other figures include Mechabon, Rift Killer, and the final AP homage Traveler with brand new paint masks.
• Four Real Type colors will be featured, including a medium cool grey.
• Accessory sets will be fully available for three of the four colors, albeit in different ways.
• Buildstation will also be restocked in a medium cool grey.

• Noboto / Qualleran will be returning in October.
• The Mystery Series will be returning with a new theme in October.
• LSA will be returning in the future.

Part of me is a lil disappointed that someone else's guess of the orange alien creature was wrong - a Pathfinder in that color scheme coulda been a fun and unexpected way to end the series!

Matt's hints are always fun and my guesses are always wrong.

I really wanna know how much things will be this round and to be honest, more and more paint apps are making my haul smaller and smaller due to the extra cost. And that also hurts my building potential.

I think past drops should already give us a good idea.

Mechabon - $20
Gendrone Force Defender - $22
Gendrone Zereon - $15
Rift Killer - $18

Glyan fully painted with Hub - $16
Glyan fully painted w/RF Weapon - $11
Pheyden fully painted - $10
Glyarmor fully painted - $14
Glyan (Buildstation) w/RF Weapon - $8

Axis, Phase, Hub, Swing, Glyarmor-only stay at the same prices unless it's a "Special Price" which is a $1 less. Miniborg is just a Hub+Axis. Mystery has hovered between $10 (Pheyden) and $14 (includes Glyarmor). Until Thursday we won't know for sure which version of some of those characters to expect.

Inspirations for this new wave were drawn from the new Diaclone seies, ASWS Solo and Spiral Zone. Did I mention that I loved Solo?{/quote]

I don't have much knowledge of Diaclone, but I know a lil abut Spiral Zone after the Toy Pizza drop heavily inspired by it earlier this year. But mostly I'm interested in the Solo connection. I really loved that movie and I'm interested to see where Matt's inspiration connects to it. My assumption (due to all the grey talk in his hints) is essentially a Mudtrooper Glyan, though the miniborg with it's special paint apps makes me suspect either a lite Weazel or Enfys Nest homage. The former is the most suspected due to its stature but probably a bit obscure. I'm always wrong but the guessing is fun!

• Miniborg - $ ? ?
• Glyans - $8
• Glyarmor - $5
• Phase Arms - $2
• Axis Joints - $3
• Swing Joints - $3
