The Glyos Connection

Matt closed his blog post yesterday with this:

"Be on the lookout for some other color variations of the Noboto mold that take the core design for a similar "alien" spin.

Maybe even this week."

So, it looks like we could see a drop this weekend? And, it would more than likely have multiple Noboto figures, some yellow vinyl, and more metallic stuff? Alrighty, I'm in "stand-by" mode...

I couldn't tell if that was hinting at a drop or another blog post highlighting some additional variations from existing drops.

*Rubs hands together in anticipation of more Pheyden Blue*

Nooooo not now ;_; I can't afford another drop...but I can't skip an Armorvor if it looks good...

I'm sooo screwed if they do a drop this month, not that I'm gonna miss it, but that I've already got so much that I'm buying already, not to mention over spending last month on Mike's ZullBeast.

I can't wait to see what Matt & Co. come up w/ for Noboto & hopefully Gobon too.

=)

Man, that ZED Noboto. Wonder what else is coming down the pipe for this Sunday...?

Neo Granthan Armorvor in Grusome Gator colors will be awesome!!!

Argh, of all the rotten timing... The day after the release I've got a huge toy hunting road trip to go on so all budget is set aside for that. This might be the first drop in the last year's time I've had to skip.

With a Goliath head. And tail. Not sure how or if that would fly but it has potential.

Now I need to track down a Goliath to customize!

Thanks for the idea dude!

This was the best use of a Goliath and Armorvor put together that I saw back in the old forum.

Matt: we will be trying something a little different on one of the other figures for this release.

I wonder if this is about the armorvor/neo granthan...

Mmmmmmm more new Noboto.

I picked up a STANDARD PHEYDEN MK V and 4 sets of Stealth Skeleden armor this week, and I got this gunmetal metallic GOVUROM head as a bonus!!!

I'm pretty new to the glyos world, but could this be a hint for the "something a little different" that Matt is trying? I do have my doubts though, it looks similar to the REFORGED GOVUROM from 2010-12 archive, but the eyes are a different color I think.

I wanted to try my hand at an all-blue Battlecurse Skeleden with heavy stealth armor, looks pretty sweet!

Govy?!

that clear armour looks really nice, like frost on the guy, nice build!

Mission details are up!!!!!!

While I do like the colorways, might sit this drop out.

Hmm... I want that new Noboto, I like the dark empty eyes! Neo Granthans are a most for me so I'll get at least one, and one of the Crayboth. If I could spare the price I would go for the Pod Leader, it's a gorgeous looking color scheme, but alas I need to save money for my trip to Japan! I might get one of the mystery figures or just a second Neo Granthans. Phase Arms and Axis Joints will depend on what color they are. Bulking up a Gatorrior with 'em could be fun...

So what's usually up at those price point? The only 14$ I can find recently are Enyriun and the Spectre Skeleden... or it could be something new... and 10$... a Phaseon? Both in colors matching Noboto??

Or it could have something to do with those "minty fresh" Crays we received as bonuses during the last run. That particular colorway could qualify as "something a little different," and it's not uncommon to see Axis Joints and Phase Arm sets released along with the Traveler sculpts.

Whatever the case, no doubt a lot of work went into it, being Wave 50 and all. I'm still blown away by that...

This is a really neat little drop. The past few Noboto releases have really renewed my love of the character and this certainly continues that trend, it looks fantastic! Definitely in on that and the supercray. Can't wait for the reveal of the secret figs.

My thoughts on the mystery figs...
As Kranix pointed out, there was the "Packing Peanut Cray" that stowed away in the last drop, that would be interesting, though I have a hard time liking that color. It would look neat as Skeleden armor though. There's also the Sunstorm yellow, Matt said that it would be seen again, I don't think this is the drop though. There's also the Gly-armor project, it would really help make the 50th drop special. Also, somewhere recently I saw a pic of someone who had a build that used a Green swing joint, could that be the mystery color? I was hoping that maybe the"something different" was an Argen that used swing joints instead of axis joints, but that doesn't account for the extra $2 for the $14 fig. I guess we'll see soon enough!

Anyone else a little disappointed with the color match on the Gator Armorvor? The green should be more of an olive color, and the eyes should be red. I'll still get it, I just wish it was a better match, maybe its just the photo.

It's probably the photo, it never seem to match perfectly.

Matt isn't a slave to homages...he likes to homage vintage toy lines by hinting on the homage, not being totally literal.

I have this Armorvor in hand and it is SUPER KEWL!!! LOVE IT!!!
