LOVE this drop. New head looks fantastic, love the throwback colors for the Pheydens, and more GITD is always welcome. The purple Noboto hits my memory somehow, like the two tone purple and pink head is something I should be aware of.

One of the strangest batches of stowaways I've ever had! I got the bubble helmet (I unwrapped the newspaper thinking he threw in the OSM for a minute), the orange Cray, zombie Pheyden, the Frontier Pheyden I had to skip, and my favorite, a Glyos notebook with a Scar Pheyden sketch by Matt on the back page. GREAT surprise there.

New Noboto head is pure joy. Also got an orange cray and an Alpha helmet.

I also got an odd assortment of stowaways as well... Orange Crayboth, OSM Bubble Helmet, Extra QUALLERRAN YARZERU, Glyos sketch book, a white with gray details extra set with Scar Peheyden/Phanost/Sarvos heads and a shit load of old beantown toys, with a couple Spoon racers!

Alpha 7 is tiny btw, like microscopic, making this -at least for me- with the inclusion of the Quarllerran's the most adorable drop yet!

I'm having some trouble keeping the new head on my Yarzeru, with the Noboto scarf it just doesn't want to stay on and the paint is scraped away in areas on the front of the face. The female glyos port is too loose, it just slides in and out with ease using any male glyos peg...anyone else having this issue? If I could keep the head on the missing paint isn't really noticeable. Any tips from long time glyos folks to tighten up loose joints?

Check the back page of the sketchbook, I'm actually curious if any others got a sketch done there. I wouldn't mind seeing the white and gray extra set either, does it match anything we've gotten before?

After reading your post I did a check for the Sketch, mine was blank. Just did a tripple check to make sure, still no drawing in it (looks like you may have gotten a one off-pretty sweet!)

here's the pic, pretty sure it's from an older drop, I just don't recognize it (the packaging is the older more crinkly brittle plastic similar to the type of plastic Legos come in.

Okay, looks like it's from Enforcer Sarvos. For a second I thought there was a set that matched the new Eclipse Pheyden and I'd have a new Sarvos to hunt down.

WOW! Those are some great goodies.

My purple Noboto came out of the package and I don't know if it was me or shipping or something, but his chin has a big ol' paint chip on it. It's not really noticeable on the vanilla build, but it's still kind of heartbreaking.

The new guys are super rad. This is a good head, and, of course, I regret not getting any of the red guy. I'm looking forward to throwing these gremlin heads on some old bodies!

The looseness probably comes from the ridged part of the peg being in contact with the beginning of the port for too long.
To tighten it up you could wrap a small piece of paper or plastic around the peg. I do this to tighten up connections from time to time. Experiment with how much is too little or too much.
I'd guess that it's possible to reset the port with a hot water bath and air dry too. The judicious use of heat and cold can do wonders with pegs.

This drop was great! Glad there was a lot of awesomeness outside of the GitD, which isn't my favorite. As far as Alpha 7 goes, are there other Glyos toys with the tiny pegs like he has at his knees and elbows? This is the first time I've seen that and it kind of caught me off guard.

It reminds me of one of the color combos from CC 3.0. For that matter, a Quell* or Quall* name saw some usage in 3.0- wonder if there will be a connection.

I'm not big on GITD either. The tiny glyos pegs are also on some of the other Power Lords and OSM figures. And the Titan skeletons if memory serves. And, I think, the NiStuff sword accessory.

Huh. If those are the lines that peg size is in then that explains why I haven't seen it before. The only other OSM I have is the Orbitron from Onell a couple waves back and hadn't ever gotten around to picking up the other two. I checked my NiStuff swords and, if it's the one from the accessory kit you're thinking of, that's got standard pegs.
