Nistuff's Custom Mantube

So this is a custom from Nistuff from NYCC. If you watch Vange1us's Youtube channel, during an interview with Nistuff, Mantube is sitting on the table. This is a one of a kind custom, so I won't be taking it apart. Nistuff has a disclaimer on his website saying these aren't for heavy play, so to keep my ham-hands at bay from scratching the paint, I'm leaving him the way he is. One of the reasons I'm putting Mantube up today is because tonight is an Outlander drop from Nistuff (linked above).

Mantube is made up of a Weaponeer of Monkaa and an Outer space man. There may also be a Glyos part in there or two.

NYCC 2013 Onell Design Glyos Dark Traveler Gray Galaxy

Hola, here is another Glyos dude to check out. The Dark Traveler Gray Galaxy was released at NYCC and later through Onell's store. You could get a version (very limited run) that was carded. Carded like, I went to the store and bought an action figure on a card. The carded version also came with the wax pack of trading cards/stickers. I had a chance to get one of these from the store, but passed to get a loose one, as I was going to open him anyway! My phone HATED taking pictures of this guy, so sorry for the lower quality. So lets get one with it.

Here he is in all of his clear smokey gloriousness.

A little wave

Time to bash some brains in.

He also came with an extra belt. Here you can see the extra one on the left compared to the stock one on the right.

He also came with two extra heads! They're pretty badass.

Extra head #1

And extra head #2

Here is the view from the top. You can see the glitter really well from this angle.

Up, up and away!

Time for a beating

Ok, ok, just kidding!

Here is a pic of the whole game (at least the ones I own)

Exploded!

Nistuff's NYCC 2013/My Plastic Heart Exclusives Outlander Hemic and Stygian

Happy Halloween everyone. Lets look at a nice set of figures of which one my camera HATES. This is Nistuff's (knee-stuff) NYCC 2013/Myplasticheart.com Exclusive Hemic and Stygian Outlanders! From what I can tell from his website 481 Universe, the dude is a fantastic Gylos customizer who went to the next level and casted his own character, the Outlander. This specific set of Outlanders comes from My Plastic Heart and was available from their table at NYCC 2013 (just search for "nistuff" on their site).

Looking like some sort of alien astronaut, the Outlanders are made of the same tough production pvc that most Glyos figures are made from. It feels good in the hands.

Their helmets are removable.

Flipping the helmet around, you can get this odd looking visor head.

Unlike other Glyos figures, the Outlanders have a static upper leg pieces. This means you can't swap both of them from each side to make him stand up straighter like most Glyos figures. That wouldn't be a big deal, but the Outlander stands a little awkwardly and can be a butt to stand sometimes. Sometimes. Not all the time.

You can also flip the upper torso piece to give the Outlander a more human look. This is actually pretty cool. He doesn't look as gangly.

Fistbump

And boom! Here are all the parts included plus two switch pins in the legs I didn't feel like tearing out. All the parts have that smooth Glyos system interchangability.

Here's the other one exploded.

You can combine the parts and create the single colorways. You'll also notice that the Hemic colored pieces are not quite the cherry red from the photos. Looking at it head on, it appears more orange. Its like the difference between cherry and fruit punch kool-aid.

Aside from the colored shoulders and head, the Stygian version can look very similar to the Blank Black Outlander, Nistuff's third outlander release.

A little size comparison with the same figure I looked at yesterday.

You can swap the pieces of course, making some interesting combinations. The Outlander adds a few nice unique pieces to the mix.

I see you.

So nice.

Each figure also comes with a sticker that can be used in Nistuff's figure redemption. The only difference with these stickers is that you get a +1, meaning they count as two stickers. If you buy both figures, you're already half way there to the redemption figure. SPOILER

Overall, the Outlander is a nice addition to your Glyos collection. I really enjoy the aesthetic of an alien astronaut to go along with my Traveler and so forth. At $10 a pop, they're not badly priced either. If you're going for an Outlander, they normally sell out very quickley from Nistuff's site, so don't hesitate if you see one you like! Be safe out there tonight on Halloween!

NYCC 2013 Onell Designs Ecroyex Mimic Armorvor

So October 20th has some and gone. That date marked the Glyos drop from NYCC for those folks like me who are too poor or too busy to go to NYCC. I was there right on time and I was able to grab up everything I wanted from the drop. First, and foremost, I picked up the Ecroyex Mimic Armorvor with that DELICIOUS blue. For $8, he was right on the money for me. This is my first foray into the Armorvor mold and I like what I see. I know I'm late to the game, but here we go!

The first morning I had him, here he is on my stark-white coffee table.

Face on.

Back view with gun mounted on back. It makes a nice little jetpack or airtank looking thing. Maybe a programming panel?

And a side view.

Looking good. That red really pops on his chest. Its very subtle in the visor, but the red makes him look fierce.

If you turn the head around, you get this dog face thing. It looks good but could use some paint on the panel lines where its mouth would be.

This is the figure with the head removed and the gun on top. Looks like some sort of beefy drone.

Kind of an odd view. This is the gun turned around.

Finally, here is the gorgeous silver head that it comes with. I really enjoy the silver on this head as opposed to the flat colors on the other two NYCC Armorvors.

Make my day.

Victory or death!

Ok, death. These are all the pieces included once he's broken down. As far as posability goes, every piece pictured is a swivel joint. The arms and legs are not cut exactly straight, so they can move in and out slightly to create some poses. While I like these colors a lot, I think any Armorvor will do if you're interested. If you want a nice little armored wolf-guy, this guy will do! Add some axis joints and he can be a little more posable and have more bulk. Cya next time.
