New product launch? April Fool's joke? Both?

Maybe the Spy Monkey guys will be on 24 Hour Toy Break again. I just saw they are doing it on 4/1.

It is not an April Fools Joke

The new line is called Battle Tribes.

New updates with hints. The figs will be 2.75" to 3" and seem like a very different aesthetic than the typical glyos figs, well that is if the bottom half of the figs actually look like the black haha (probably not)

Damn this is getting me more intrigued...those weapons alone are enough to excite but I'm stoked to see some new Glyos compatible heads, possibly in the vein of Masters of the Universe, based on these images!

Number three looks like a Cobra, I'm calling it!

It may be a cobra head but my money is on it being an afro

Afro-Cobra the newest addition to the Spy monkey collection!

I really hope that's what it is.

These look so exciting, the scale is perfect!

You guys were both wrong haha, triceratops looking head

Ha! Despite being wrong, I'm super excited about these, all those extra heads, weapons and armor...damn so cool!

Me too! Now I have to figure out which to get. I like that there are both painted and non painted ones. But that makes picking harder haha

Yep, we were wrong but I definitely like the dino heads more than what we guessed. It's very cool to see that each figure will get all the heads in the corresponding colors. It'll be interesting to see how these swap with other glyoverse figures (triceratops head on Armovor body anyone?) and have them fighting Titan skeletons too

I know, at least I have a week to contemplate...some of those unpainted combos could be pretty sweet! Is it just me or does that flesh Triceratops head seem kinda creepy?

I'm right there with you!

Very intrigued by this new line, nice to have a Fantasy based genre in the Glyos universe.

Dropping some unpainted ones is a smart move because we get some cheaper swappable options & plenty to customize. A group of orcs would be cool to see with war paint and added armor bits. Plus we're forgetting about integrating Skeleden parts/armor

It does but there's also flesh colored cyclops so...

The price point is a little high for army building, but I definitely want some of these guys. I could see some really neat play value with these figures as pilots of Roboforce/Zeroids/WoM vehicles to satisfy that Sci Fi/Fantasy aesthetic. If I could work some Glyarmor into the mix, there could be a potential X-O Manowar homage in there...

I think I'd be more likely to buy a few blanks to customize a group to help differentiate them (like my warpainted orcs idea).

This is HOT!! As a big MOTU & Remco fan I see a lot of fun coming my way!! It reminds me of when Chap Mei does their fantasy lines, only these will be a lot more fun because it's GLYOS!

Strongly agree Jafari. Great scale to work with too! These are going to add 'worlds' of builds & customs to any Glyos collection. Right off the bat, that Crystar build on Pixel Dan's video is amazing, but soooo many options (thanks to the Glyos compatible parts) it boggles the mind.

I'm interested in seeing how the older SpyMonkey heads look on those bodies. I think if they scale right they could look much cooler than the ones you're gonna get with the figures.

Eh, these aren't for me. I'll probably be passing on them.

OMG!!!! The 7 year old He Man fan inside me is freaking out! I must have these!

...I think I'll get one or two... they look incredible!

These look great. I'll definitely be buying a few. The price is a bit high but probably not unreasonable with all the extra heads. It is a shame the hands appear to be the same piece as the gauntlets so they aren't completely swappable.
