oh man, i loved this show. I hope they can get to make Lightstar Grimskull and Talyn. The only thing i wish these guys were MOTUC Scale.

Definitely, just gotta hope that word spreads far enough and enough people back & support the project.
That scale would've been awesome, but the fact anything is happening at all is a minor miracle, IMO.

The Kickstarter page has had a couple of Updates and Moderately Geeky.com has a Podcast interview with George & Ayleen Gaspar of October Toys, discussing various point about the campaign to bring back this awesome toyline.
As well as that, Pixel Dan has been given an opportunity to show off the Baron Dark prototype - Highlighting many points about the figure's mold, painted details and articulation along with a great comparison with the original toy.
(Thanks yet again to Sharky for giving me the heads-up on this)

Only 5 Days left to back this project guys!
The current total (11:42pm AEDST) is sitting at $30,784USD, just $14,216USD shy of the required $45,000USD - So Your Help Is Needed!
There have been a couple of further updates at the Kickstarter page since I last posted here; A couple of "Backer Only" updates that I think fans of the franchise would definitely want to see (So Make A Pledge!), but also a couple of updates showing off pics of the incentive figures
:
1st up is the "Titan Skeleton"; standing at the same 5inch height as Baron Dark, he comes in both Glow in The Dark & Plain variants -
Next up is a collaborative effort by George Gaspar & Matt Doherty, of Onell Design; named the "Traveler Skeleden", this newest adition to the Glyos Universe is part Pheyden & part Skeleton! -
Along with those, George & Ayleen have provided a breakdown of the available Addons one can tack-onto their pledge; shown is both the addon & the amount required to be added to one's backing:
Also, both George & Ayleen have participated in another Podcast Interview, this time with the lads at The Old Oil House; in this episode of "Behind The Toys", discussion ranges from all things toys and the industry, to how George & Ayleen got into making toys and a lot of detail regarding the Skeleton Warriors and the present Kickstarter revival - So please do check that out here.
So Don't Forget; there's only 5 days to go and if you're slightly curious of this project or know anyone who might be? - Please visit the Kickstarter page and Back this project! - At the very least please help by spreading the word via Facebook, Twitter or via your own Blog or Website.
I'll leave you all with this great shot from George's Instagram where he took an action-shot of the Baron Dark prototype facing off against Leonardo from the latest TMNT toyline!
...along with a superb comparison between the old Playmates Baron Dark figure from the 90s & NEW take on the "Bad To The Bone" character!

3 Days To Go and we're currently at $32,711USD - So close yet still so far, therefore Your Help is Still Needed!
George & Ayleen have just posted another update and this one is Even Better than the last!
A NEW PAIR of KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE ADDONS has been unveiled - The "Lightstar Crystal" Transparent Blue variants of Baron Dark and Titan Skeleton!!!
Any pledge over the $13USD level can add as many of these new Kickstarter Exclusive versions as one may want to their pledge.
Just add the amount below to your pledge for as many Lightstar Crystal Blue versions as you'd like;
- Lightstar Crystal Blue Baron Dark - add $25USD per figure
- Lightstar Crystal Blue Titan Skeleton - add $13USD per figure
E.g. If you want to add a Lightstar Crystal Blue Baron Dark and a Titan Skeleton? then just add $38USD to your current pledge.
It's that easy and these variants will ONLY be available through Kickstarter; The final production colour/transparency will more closely reflect the Cosmic Wave of Glyos figures from Onell Design like the Cosmic Wave Exellis below:
So you're asking: "What's the significance of this Lightstar Crystal Blue transparent version?"...
Well, when the all-powerful Lightstar Crystal, which has protected the planet Luminaire for eons, was broken in two by Baron Dark, it exploded in a brilliant flash of light...
...hence giving us our "Lighstar Crystal" Blue colour versions.
So check out the latest update & Kickstarter Exclusive figure variants but remember; Get in quick! as there's just 3 days left to get in on resurrecting the dead... toyline!
