Classic Review: Onell Design Glyos Brown Crayboth Action Figure

Figure of the DayOnell Design Glyos Brown Crayboth Action FigureSomething new every day-- but this was posted 10 years ago today! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

Posted 10 years ago! From 2015, Onell Design Glyos Brown Crayboth Action Figure is a neat little guy that's the same basic size as most M.U.S.C.L.E., Battle Beasts, or Blokees Defender-sized figures. It's long since sold out, but the Onell store sometimes has them in other colors. It's a nice little guy. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Star Wars Review: Baylan Skoll (The Vintage Collection)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Baylan Skoll (The Vintage Collection). This nicely sculpted and subtly decorated - depending on the light - figure turned out well. He has the requisite hilt and lightsaber. I'm not sure why the cloaks weren't included, but we can keep an eye on upcoming releases in case a variant is coming. There's a subtle blue over the figure's armor that wasn't obvious in the lighting in my office but is very apparent in the photos, plus another incredible pea-sized portrait for the head. Read the whole review.

Figure of the DayMattel He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Cartoon Collection Prince Adam and Cringer Action FigureSomething new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!

Transformers Shockwave Saves the Whales

One-Eyed WhalieTransformersVia Collider: A Classic 'Transformers' Character Goes Into Beast Mode as the Activate Your Alt Mode Winner [Exclusive]. Despite a massive outpouring of surprising love for a semi-aquatic Spinosaurus Shockwave, what we're getting is one-eyed whalie. And I'm here for it - as a kid I would've lost my mind over a whale Transformers toy. Not much in the way of specific details are given as to which size class we'll get, or what the release date might be.

But what we do have is Windblade, the first fan-built bot. Back in July 2013, Hasbro revealed the figure's design. The toy saw release in September 2014. If that timeline sticks, maybe we'll see Shockwave x Whales in late 2026.

Star Wars Review: Crosshair (The Vintage Collection)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Crosshair (The Vintage Collection). The second team member from Clone Force 99 is here, and the first one was in 2023. Reusing a lot of Hunter parts, this is a good figure - it doesn't have all the paint you might want, but the range of movement is good and it looks like the character on the show He also has a decent amount of gear and added parts, with a swappable head rather than a removable helmet. Also most surprising of all, I've actually seen him on pegs in stores over the past month - more than once. I'd recommend giving him a look if you liked his appearances on The Bad Batch and The Clone Wars. Read the whole review.
