People have been asking me what the "Oddities/1 of 5's" were for sale at this how so I'll do the best I can to remember. These items were unreleased figures with different paint apps, PVC colors, test configurations, Microshin Head Packs, etc. These items were never going to be sold in the online store. They are not to be regarded as official items for a Glyos collection and only exist as test shots and prototypes of the Onell crew messing around with paints, colors, and parts to see how figures would look and if they were worthy of putting into full production. These tests runs were made to see how paint looked or how figures looked without detail lines or how figures looked with their plastic colors reversed. Rather than just let them sit there for display, they sold these items because they knew folks who made the trek to the show wanted to leave with something special since they could not produce a show-exclusive SRGM figure in time for the event. As explained by Matt, some paint colors used are slightly off to what they finally wanted, and do not match the paint colors used on the final figures. At most, only 5 of each example listed below exist in the world. They will never be made again. Ever.
I think they also had the gylan masks (not 100% sure though), but Matt told me not to buy them because it was stupid that you had to glue them to the head so they would stay on (The only item of the bunch I bought for myself was a 6 pack of the microshin heads). I got the feeling he wanted to refine the masks so that in the future they would fit on without glue, like a mask accessory that would snap onto an action figure's head.

^(the white/grey items, metallic black Argens, glow Callgrim, Task Force Volkriun Captain Rugers, and Hades glyan are all production items and NOT oddities. These regular items were in their own box. The oddities were separated from the production items and in their own box.)
Free with any purchase (these are NOT oddities):
2x Glow-in-the-dark Hades Force logo shirt buttons/pins.
Rarities Box Oddities/"1 of 5's" In The World:
Microshin head 6 pack:
1-red
2-warm grey
3-black
4-clear
5-silver painted (was black)
6-clear Argen 2-part head
??? Glyan mask pack ??? (not sure if this was there, might have been these: http://www.octobertoys.com/forum/viewto ... 29&t=12836)
standard crayboth with no detail lines (black painted eyes and painted limbs)
pheyden crayboth with no detail lines (black painted eyes and painted limbs)
standard pheyden with no detail lines (black painted eyes and painted limbs)
reverse pheyden with no detail lines (black painted eyes and painted limbs)
Magenta body Pheyden with purple head, gloves, & boots (Recommended to "Buy this version, it's the better of the two" by Matt himself)
-& purple scarf
-&magenta scarf
-& magenta Sarvos head & body w/ purple chest paint app
-& magenta scar pheyden head
Magenta body Pheyden with purple head, gloves, & boots (told to "not buy this version" by Matt himself)
(this may have had a purple paint app on the chest, I can't remember)
(Also, I can't fully remember the contents of this figure. I think it either came with the Sarvos torso(no paint app?) & head mentioned above or just the scar pheyden head)
There was also a Reydurran Pheyden with red (not grey) hands and boots and "off-red" painted scar detail.
red elder excellis with warm grey gloves/boots & red scarf using that torso with all the horizontal lines
Glyan red on warm grey
Glyan warm grey on red
Glyan red on warm grey w/additional red torso paint app & red hub set
Glyan warm grey on red w/additional warm grey torso paint app & warm grey hub set
Also of note: all the Reydurran paint apps were "off" in the same way that the Reydurran Armovor were (i.e. darker red for paint aps on the Glyan / DSG / Pheyden) or with the grey (albeit much closer than the off-red).
Again, don't beat yourselves up over this stuff. It was never meant to be sold officially. These should be seen as test runs for what Matt and Co. finally decided was store-worthy.
