(I hope Santa isn't listening just now...)

Im with you but I know I will go big on this next drop so I need all the clams I can get and December is NOT the month of extra money.

So a little flavor of what's coming up after the holidays - an unpainted run of clear (probably going to be priced same as the Red Army Muscle Men) for customizers and a short run (20 or so) of clear-based painted customs. Couple of the new heads to be featured on the customs will foreshadow mysterious new races soon to appear in the Banimon universe...

Ah-hah!!! So exciting!

Awesome !! Psyched for clean Banimon!

Awesome! I'm anxiously awaiting the drop!!!

So an update for you guys, we are looking at the first week of February for the launch. The figures are all on-hand, and I just checked with the usual suspects to make sure timing works, so this should actually be a pretty solid time estimate. I'll post a firm date by the end of the week, along with some shots of what's on tap.

As if a run of clear Banimon isn't enough to get my attention. Sounds like a great way to celebrate Groundhog's Day! *bounce bounce bounce*

Thanks Cappy! So I thought I posted this last nite, but for some reason it didn't stick - here is a shot of one of the vinyl customs:


And a little backstory from the Banimon blog:

"After the loss of Baniport, means of resupply from Havvacor have dried up, and the Revolutionary Army has been forced to look to other means. Occasional drops of smuggled goods have been complemented by some scavenging and ingenuity in order to keep the troops relatively supplied and battle-ready, but none of it is nearly enough.

One particular division, the infamous 18th Armoured has been outfitted almost entirely from refurbished tech, most of which had to be lifted up from the bottom of the Big River. And while their vehicles may not be much to look at, the 18th has quickly developed a terrifying reputation with their hit and run tactics against Banigoth targets. Nicknamed “Rainmakers” because of a preference for fighting under heavy rain or fog, their defiance is an inspiration to what remains of the Revolutionary Army. In the new world order, everybody may be equal, but living war heroes who improbably win battle after battle in an otherwise losing war are afforded many perks regular Red Army Men can only dream of.

And make no mistake, tank crews for the 18th are by now considered by everyone the best in business. Most of them veterans from the Invasion of Havvacor, their skills are honed through constant combat and rigorous training. On rare days off, the Rainmakers are just as legendary for their wild partying, prompting a rumor that their nickname is just as much due to the copious amounts of XXX they consume as to their fighting habits. "

This great and welcome news!! Chompin' at the bit ova here!!

Dude, that custom tank Rocks! I'm getting psyched for this drop! This'll be my first ever Banimon drop, so please be gentle, but not too gentle

So Clear Banimon will drop this coming Friday February 5th at 9pm EST on http://www.banimon.com. Hope to see you guys there! I'll get around to more pics and posting the lineup in the next few days on the blog, and then here. Meanwhile huge thanks for patience and positive vibes to everyone here!

Be there, or be square.

I blanked on the previous Banimon CC, and every other CC predated my introduction to Glyos.

I am so there.

Seth, does this mean you are involved in the customs offerings?

I think that's safe to say. Unless the post office loses the box.

And here's another sneak:

Damn! Is that a custom? Really diggin' the clear purple!

Yup, that's one of the Custom Corps. Glad you like it! Get that F5 key ready on drop day, there aren't that many. I'll leave it to Boris if he wants to disclose run numbers.

"Hikeeba!"

Book of Doughty, Article 8:
"Never disclose quantities on pain of death"

But yes, it'll be a short run

Take it from some one who owns multiple Sethl (aka nanite) customs, every Glyos fan should own one. So you all should hit this Banimon drop fast and hard.

Awwww, shucks.

Boris did some AMAZING builds for this run. Can't wait for you all to see them. More surprises in store too.

Glad I didn't spill any beans then, I'm only slightly suicidal.

Any new pics to be posted today?!? I'm getting antsy waiting, you Glyos salesmen sure know how to set the hook!

According to USPS tracking, Boris has them as of an hour ago!

Keep an eye on Planet Banimon for more!

Thanks, and btw, looking over your site, there are some killer color combo's, really digging your work! Excited to start doing my own custom paint jobs, once it gets warm enough to work in the garage.

The troops are ready to deploy this Friday. Here's a look at one of the motorized guys ("Marauders") and a Khar-Hurrian scout. These are proving hard to photograph in a way that does justice to the paint job, but I'll keep trying
