Glyos System! Figures For Grown Ups! | Action Figures And Customizable Collectibles

I was introduced to the Glyos System, and became an instant fan. These toys take me back to when action figures had a very high COOLNICITY to them. Customization, big-time.

By far my favourite glyos-related experience has been picking up a load of just loose/extra parts from another collector who's big into customs, cleaning them all up and just... seeing what I could build/paint up. Might post a video at some point on a few of the better results. Still, if you see just like a general glyos parts lot on ebay for a decent price? well worth picking it up.

You are the reason I'm going to make my own custom figure of a superhero I created on a video game. I found someone who said they do custom figures but wanted to charge me 10+ times more than he advertised on his etsy store's placeholder price. So I'm ordering some cheap figures online and using your's and toy palloi's custom techniques. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, your voice reminds me of someone from my past. So I would like to say, "Thank you and I hope you keep steady craftin'."

Welcome to the wonderful world of Glyos man! I've been collecting since 2007 and these are easily the most fun toys I own today. They also allowed me to express myself creatively and I have been sculpting Glyos compatible figures since 2009. I work with Super Sculpey all the time and you can bake Glyos pegs in a toaster oven, so long as it's only in there for 10-15 minutes at 275°. Plus if you sculpt over a part with a socket on it you can always plug a little Switch Pin in to make it fit after the fact.

[@xeokym223]

Yes! I *_love_* Glyos figures! The color fades and especially glow in the dark stuff are so awesome. Keep flexin those child-brain muscles! Go out into the woods and have fun :D

Absolutely loved this video: always love seeing new folks get into Glyos. Been collecting it here for about 3 years now, and I can honestly say it's one of the best (if not THE best) toylines I've ever encountered. The community is wonderful, too: if you ever want to come around see what folks are up to, the Glyos tag over on Instagram is always bustling with people, posts, and new builds/customs people have been up to. Welcome to the glyosverse. ^__^

You found your way! You found your tribe! Every company in the Glyos Galaxy is filled with action figures just like you, sharing your passions and your firm stance on real world moral issues like Rotational Freedom! Talk to anybody who does what they love, and they will tell you they got there by being happy, surprisingly well received and not focused on doing it right before they realized they had been making their way toward doing it all along and now they doing it. Seriously, that's the process. Congratulations, from Jay Pocket. I love you and your story here, Crafsman. We have a ton of things in common and I relate to your story in ways you will probably never truly even conceive. Maybe I can pop my head out from the anonymity one day and collaborate on a project one day. Looks like you're used to working with shadowy figures and patrons, so it might just be a breeze. I love you too, brother from another. Keep steady crafsin, and launch your toy company without worrying about the "hows" to get there. Like my granddaddy said to me: "If you pay attention to the wise you won't get caught up by the hows." You got this. Jump.

[@JinzoCrash]

Now we just need these Glyos makers to stop royally boning over the people who faithfully listen to them when they announce a drop time. I can count on my hands and toes how many times these makers didn't show up when they said they would, on top of making so few that they sold out in under 10 minutes. I can't reward their rudeness. If I ever make figures and they happen to be Glyos compatible, I'm not even going to mention that name. The Crafsman is NOTHING like the majority of people making Glyos / treating the customers like they don't matter.

[@j.pocket]

@@JinzoCrash Thanks for the heads up. You know, in the 80s I got addicted to sneakers as much as action figures and that's what your recount of these toymakers reminds me of. It really gets me fired up to see the biggest sneaker brand these days recycling 30 year old designs out of less durable materials and then limiting the supply of each new colorway to drive up the price and create competition among consumers while also perpetuating a counterfeit market that generally boasts similar quality and in most scammy situations even garners the same ridiculous prices with no one to blame or file a claim against once the jig is up. Granted the Glyos situation doesn't sound as bad, but I would argue the operative term could be "yet" in such a partial sentiment. I've seen counterfeit toys and repackaging jobs at toy shows. The economics of concepts like "hype" and "planned obsolescence" irritate me, too. We apparently live in a society with a (hopefully fading) mentality of manufacturers that people will buy whatever they are told and those with the least common sense and the most money will pay ridiculous sums of money for too often mediocre products that serve no purpose but individual gratification and a contrived social relevance in small communities. Sadly, this marketplace dichotomy is but one more cog in a transmission that constantly torques the individual's pressure to self-serve and compete for dominance within these small niche communities, generally and genuinely building a population of sleepwalking consumers who compete with everyone and for everything, ultimately diluting the preponderance of unification, loyalty and selflessness. Luckily, that's only one perspective and it doesn't have to be the reality we see unless it is the reality we look for. Furthermore, I am sure a small influx of "Crafsminded" individuals like "Our Host" here will hopefully usurp such paradigms and wrangle the power back from the clutches of social esteem and dollar worship to place it back into the eagerly anticipating hands of a growing constituency of integrity oriented, quality rewarding, better informed folks (like you and me, I guess) who actually give a damn where our money goes and to whom it supports. Keep fighting the good fight. If they sell out, that doesn't mean we have to. Amiright, bro? Keep steady crafsin. If they don't sell us their toys, thanks to our mutual homie in Mississippi, we can make our own toys and just stay home. Cheers!
