Thanks to everyone who supported these Evolution Test Shots, as long as the Evolution figures sell well we will keep making them.

Remaining test shots now on sale

I have added the handful of Goliath Test Shots to the store as well as a small number of Series 2 Version 1.0 Test Shots

series2

Ulric 3.0

Yvonne in Lapin Loco Ring Battle Gear

Generations Lion

These are the 1st test shots from the mold, the factory needs to do a bit more work on the steel mold before they are ready for full release so these will be rarities for sure.

Remaining D-Con items will be available tonight

We are back from Pasadena, we have a bunch of pics to post and we also have some updates to make to the store

We took roughly 40 Goliath test shots to Designercon and have come back with just a handful, so the remaining stock of those will be available to anyone who might have missed out for $30 each. The actual production run next month will be a completely different color.

We also have Series 2 Test Shot Packs which we did not really have time to promote or even talk about, we will do that tonight and they will also be available for $30 a set. These will be ultra rare because 1)Less than 30 overall sets exist and 2)There were a number of changes we requested after seeing them so the final versions of each will be different

Cover Art for Volume IV

You may remember at C2E2 we introduced you to Mort Crimp Jr when he did this awesome depiction of Mr. Perfect

Well we were so thrilled with that we wanted to see his take on our characters and so here is the base image for Volume IV

So hopefully upon the release of production Goliath in a few weeks you can pickup Volume IV!

Also people have been asking us if there was a way to purchase test shots if they did not attend the Con. They were highly limited but any that remain will go up on the store sometime Tuesday.

Series 2 will be going through another revision or two so these test shots will be the rarest because the next test shots we get will be revised and have changes implemented , so its an amazing thing to have in your MWOTR collection if you really are into the design process.

MWOTR Series 2 makes it debut!

With Designercon this weekend we can no longer keep secret who is in Series 2 🙂

The lineup will be without a Giant this time, that is due solely to the addition of the Evolution line to our brand and the overall cost to add both to production at the same time.

So without further ado the lineup for Series 2 is

  • Ulric Wolfrom 3.0 (his post Issue 1 look)
  • Generations Lion/Leo (which Lion it would be changes on colorway used)
  • Yvonne Wolfrom Lapin Loco wrestling gear

There has also been a bit of confusion as to Evolution Goliath size with some fans, he is exactly the same size as he was before. He is just such a unique character that when he is broken into pieces they scale to larger figures like Armorvor and Kabuto Mushi.

If Evolution is accepted by the fans and does well financially then all future Giants will be done the same way (Takeshi Sumo, Tembo Jiwe, etc)

Tomorrow we will show off the Cover of MWOTR Volume 4!

MWOTR Evolution Debuts and we join a family…

As many people know we have worked with Onell Design and the Glyos Factory extensively to launch the PVC Series 1.

Our collaborations have always been rooted in much more then that, we have known Marty for over a decade and by extension have gotten to know Matt Doughty as well. We were part of the glyos family in terms of where we got our figures made but now we are truly part of the Glyos family in terms of what our product is!

So it was only natural that as we move forward we wanted to do something really groundbreaking. It must be said this figure would not have been possible without the assistance of a silent investor, they ask to remain unnamed but the entire Glyos universe and the MWOTR nation owes them a huge debt of gratitude.

The idea of making Goliath for the masses is probably the biggest request we get, but in order to do so and not go out of business as a PVC he would have had to be creative. It must also be said that we are not leaving the minifigure market, Goliath is an extension to what we already make and a compliment to our Series 2 which is on its way.

That is where the genius of Matt Doughty comes into the picture. I knew just from working with Kabuto Mushi with Marty that Goliath even though a “mini” was large enough for certain parts to scale with the figures in the Glyos universe. Matt took that a step further and along with Paul and his team in China tooled Goliath to be both a action figure mini and a fully compatible Glyos figure.

This Goliath is based on the original prototype so it has things like his Dragon-esque points on his chin like in his original concept art.

As you can see in the pictures if you just want Goliath for his parts you can use those in your building or if you could care less and just want him for your MWOTR collection he comes now in the form a deluxe mini. It truly is the best of both worlds and we feel something that has rarely been explored in any real depth outside an earlier Glyos figure like the Crayboth.

As a special debut to D-Con in addition to Series 2 test shots we will have a LIMITED edition of Goliath Evolution figures in the same brown used for Rig Crew and Kabuto Mushi Beetorians to show off the building aspect for those interested in Glyos. This color will never be run in MWOTR and was only done this one time.

MWOTR Evolution

Many of you who have been with us since Fall 2012 have seen us grow from a concept and idea, to a full fledged brand with toys manufactured in China and a line of indie comic books.

In the past 24 hours we have spoken with our contacts at the Factory and our partners, everything seems to be on track for a surprise reveal at D-Con next weekend!

We cannot tell you right now what it is, but we brought you Generations, and soon you will see Evolution…

Des Moines I-Con Recap

This weekend was really fun for me and my wife, we want to thank all who came out!! We introduced kids all day to our world of the Mystical Warriors.

We met a few fans who post to this blog and we hope they enjoyed their time with us.

Top things we learned today

1. Kayin Kungaa is by far the favorite for ages 3-6

2. People did not believe the belt was the real thing…oh yes it is very real

We also were approached by executives with the Iowa Wild Hockey Team about bringing MWOTR in during their superhero/comic events!
