Featured here in the Tru:Teknology Files a couple of weeks back, the Glyos Block finally went on sale through Onell Design’s store on Friday (January 20th), selling out within a matter of minutes. In our last post we found it hard to explain the overwhelming potential that these seemingly simple vinyl blocks had for customisation, so we’ve decided to include some examples that Onell Design’s in-house team have already created for your viewing pleasure.
Anyone still interested in purchasing the Block should head over to Onell’s blog for further information- whilst currently out of stock, I doubt it will be the last we see of Glyos’ ultimate “Buildstation” style block…
Heavy Armored Block Trooper-Cane’s Custom Version! (below)
This meatball was created by lots of cutting and fitting, but using no adhesives. Everything was measured and installed using a knife and heat gun. Temperature manipulation makes things 100% easier when customizing with vinyl (and the regular PVC parts for that matter).
This figure is comprised of Armodoc parts, Rig parts, Block parts and Runner parts. I’ll have an exploded view up in the next few days. The Phase Cannons can slide off, revealing Armodoc arms. The Phase Blockers can be removed, as well as the Block “skirt” -which rests over an Armodoc inner pelvis assembly. The “head” is made from the back of the Runner (WARP Bike) and was originally conceived to be used for things like this. You can actually see a trace of a mechanical looking Pheyden face on this small piece, right down to the three “teeth”.
Makes sense that the front of a Warp Bike has the tough face of Callgrim and the bum is based on Pheyden’s bulbous noggin!
