Review: Onell Design Glyos Crayboth Krakenite
|
|
  Daily figure reviews return until I am too tired to want to keep doing it! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues and my hopes is it will encourage you to kick in $1 a month to the Patreon which funds hosting for 16bit.com and Galactic Hunter! Help me keep the servers on and the toy pictures a-rollin'.
From last year! Onell Design Glyos Crayboth Krakenite is this glorious combo platter of pinks and clear plastic which looks sort of like a shrimp. I hope you got one, it looks great in person. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Classic Review: Nintendo Shovel Knight Amiibo
|
|
 Something 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 2016, Nintendo Shovel Knight Amiibo was a big deal - a third party Amiibo! From an indie studio! Doing retro-flavored games, at fair prices, that people love to play! Yacht Club Games has had tougher times (and painfully few releases) since its big blue debut, but hey maybe Mina the Hollower will actually get finished this year. There is a blue Shovel Knight, but also a gold one. They're not terribly expensive if you want one.
Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Mattel Has New Font
|
|
  Via Fast Company: Mattel has a new custom font, and it's full of playful hidden details. Who cares? Well, I do, this sort of thing is going to be of interest to customizers and pranksters at the very least.
The article says the "typeface called Matty and Belle Mattel Sans, can be translated into multiple languages, read in even the smallest of fine print, and used on everything from social media and pitch decks to product packaging." If you've ever designed tiny stickers or signs that need to be read at a distance, or fine print, this sort of thing always strikes me as interesting. If you've never seen debates over which font to use on a street sign, you've never lived. I have not yet found a source to download it.
