One of the fun side effects of the whole glyos toy hobby is the little mini-guys that come with certain figures. The battle tribes tiny wrestlers with swappable heads, and solid mini mushi warm my heart in a very nostalgic “I could get those at my school bookstore to hang out in my pencil box” way. The crayboths are a neat halfway point, being small, but still with swappable limbs including that crabby claw and tentacle/eyestalk/blaster bit. I have only bought a couple of these specifically, the others came in a lot of used guys, and though they weren’t the initial draw, I have grown quite fond of them. It us amazing to me that these guys, especially the wrestler mini figures, were painted with such care and accuracy. If anything, that is the biggest difference from when I was a kid…. production these days can color inside the lines. The mini mushi is two color plastic, and is so tiny, it is like the regular figure have an awesome toy to play with. I am looking forward to all of these guys multiplying over time into a teensy army of plastic. Color schemes are wildly variable, from opaque to translucent. Same variety goes for sculpts, from biological horrors to dudes with a hamburger for a head. I am pretty entertained, and am glad that the hobby is here, especially during a quarantine. The colorways I am digging on the most at the moment are that good old purple and silver “grape soda” , of course, and the more cartoony battle burger…. but they are all pretty dang adorable. #spymonkeycreations #cappyspace #godbeast #onelldesign #glyos #minifigures #battlebeasts #minimushi

Pyewacket wishes everyone a lovely Thursday.

If you have a loved one of any species close by, go get you a sweet hug. Love and good thoughts for all who can use ’em.

Quarantine day 90.
Amazing that I haven’t been more than a few blocks from the house for 3-ish months. I am still wearing mask when I go on walks, at least “train robber bandana” style around my neck to be lifted to face if I see another human.

Current photo, Pyewacket and me in glyos format.
The Weaponeer is an homage to the 1982 Remco toyline “Lost World of The Warlord” based on the Mike Grell Warlord comic book character. 29 parts, give or take, with white and black paints on “fair skinned flesh’ tone.
The Crayboth species is centered around psychic communication and energy transference. Not unlike a cat.
So, figures are man with a gray beard in white boxer shorts, with a little black critter in tow. That is fairly reminiscent of me at home with Pyewacket watching TV on my knee. I don’t generally wear a winged helmet in the house, and Pyewacket doesn’t have a bio-blaster paw, but close enough for jazz or government work.
Spy monkey creations keep knocking it out of the park. I am looking forward to the blue and gold ninja figures later this month.
Next step is creating a BHK-alike and a red couch for us to sit together on, and a white-leopard patterned cape for the weaponeer.
