Blog comment from Matt:
...a good grip of Real Type hues (4 colors) will be on deck.

Accessory-wise, full load outs will also be available for three of the colors (shown in the animation above), albeit in a couple alternative ways. One of these color selections matches right up with the new Mechabon for a building bonanza!

We'll have some new entries landing in the Buildstation as well.......]

Also mentioned is no Noboto or LSA and just 1 version of the Mechabon.

Kinda makes me wonder if Mechabon will be one color of PVC, the Miniborg will be another, and a third for Travelers and Glyans...

[captaincraybeard]

KotS Rift Killer will be making an appearance, along with the Gendrone builds of the three Toyfinity figs (Mechabon, Zereon, Force Defender). I'm fairly new to the Toyfinity bots - depending on the color (and assuming they will all match) this might be the drop where I focus more on those and broaden my building scope!

Never say no to Robo Force.

With the announcement of all 3 toyfinity kits, i have a feeling the miniborg will match them for that "building bonanza".

As far as the Mystery figure goes, we definitely have something that serves as one last hurrah for the FP Space subset before we switch to the next Mystery Figure Series (which starts in mid-October).

This latest FP Space homage is kind of wild looking and probably not quite what you'd expect, but it rounds out the mix in a pretty neat way. It's a little hard not to show this one!

Not a bad guess! When the sample came in for this new Mystery figure, we were all sort of stunned, mainly because we'd never seen a production paint application on a Traveler like this before. Definitely opens up some interesting creative doorways.

Ooh, I'm excited!! I wonder what it is...

A quick summary:

September 6 Drop

• All three Toyfinity molds will be present in the same color, configured per Glyos releases.
• Other figures include Mechabon, Rift Killer, and the final AP homage Traveler with brand new paint masks.
• Four Real Type colors will be featured, including a medium cool grey.
• Accessory sets will be fully available for three of the four colors, albeit in different ways.
• Buildstation will also be restocked in a medium cool grey.

Future Drops

• Noboto / Qualleran will be returning in October.
• The Mystery Series will be returning with a new theme in October.
• LSA will be returning in the future.

Matt also mentioned that there will be a little bit of vinyl coming up sometime in the future and asked what we'd like to see.

Personally i'm very curious about the new mystery theme.

Part of me is a lil disappointed that someone else's guess of the orange alien creature was wrong - a Pathfinder in that color scheme coulda been a fun and unexpected way to end the series!

Matt's hints are always fun and my guesses are always wrong.

No more wrong than mine.

I bet someone like Ersico could custom a pathfinder to be a spot on replica of that FP space beast.

So, what is the Pathfinder, anyway? My Google-fu is weak on that one.

Also, next year will feature some "unfinished business" molds being put into production, according to Matt. Wonder what we'll see...

Ah. I thought it was referring to something from Adventure People.

I don't do suspense very well
I really wanna know how much things will be this round and to be honest, more and more paint apps are making my haul smaller and smaller due to the extra cost. And that also hurts my building potential.

[Talyn]

Awesome to see LSA will return, its been a long time since we've had any of those, and they're my preferred Traveler mold.

I think past drops should already give us a good idea.

Mechabon - $20
Gendrone Force Defender - $22
Gendrone Zereon - $15
Rift Killer - $18

Glyan fully painted with Hub - $16
Glyan fully painted w/RF Weapon - $11
Pheyden fully painted - $10
Glyarmor fully painted - $14
Glyan (Buildstation) w/RF Weapon - $8

Axis, Phase, Hub, Swing, Glyarmor-only stay at the same prices unless it's a "Special Price" which is a $1 less. Miniborg is just a Hub+Axis. Mystery has hovered between $10 (Pheyden) and $14 (includes Glyarmor). Until Thursday we won't know for sure which version of some of those characters to expect.

Thank you for the breakdown!

Matt says: [quote]Inspirations for this new wave were drawn from the new Diaclone seies, ASWS Solo and Spiral Zone. Did I mention that I loved Solo?{/quote]

I don't have much knowledge of Diaclone, but I know a lil abut Spiral Zone after the Toy Pizza drop heavily inspired by it earlier this year. But mostly I'm interested in the Solo connection. I really loved that movie and I'm interested to see where Matt's inspiration connects to it. My assumption (due to all the grey talk in his hints) is essentially a Mudtrooper Glyan, though the miniborg with it's special paint apps makes me suspect either a lite Weazel or Enfys Nest homage. The former is the most suspected due to its stature but probably a bit obscure. I'm always wrong but the guessing is fun!

[Lazzy Lizard]

You guys will make a shit when you see what is released in the next few drops!

I'm sooo excited!!!

=)

Something else to ponder: Could we see a speeder bike build too?

Updating with confirmed Items (and estimated prices):

Buildstation - Cool Grey

• Miniborg - $ ? ?
• Glyans - $8
• Glyarmor - $5
• Phase Arms - $2
• Axis Joints - $3
• Swing Joints - $3

The Toyfinity Trio were not included in that list, so it makes me think that those will either be in the other cool gray or the grayeen color. As for the Rift Killer, well, if Spiral Zone is any indication...

I’m guessing that the miniborg will run $8-10 seeing how the axis joints will have minor paint on them.

Also Matt mentioned that the Glyarmor will be “Armor only”, so I’m hoping that will lower the price to like $3-4.

As for the Solo inspiration, I’m wondeing if the paint mask on the hubset of the black DSG Alienac Trooper would be a good indicator of what we might get with one the Glyans. I personally loved this paint app.

I'm a little confused by the light grey parts, mostly what they are color-matched with.

Great color references to the new Diaclone line in the forest green, light sand and grey parts. Also nice to see the real type forest green released in a full assortment of parts, completing the sequence begun with the Type Zero releases from a couple years ago (or, I suppose the Relgost figures from 7 years ago).

And we finally see the grey Buildstation parts to round out the extended 'Mono Wave' assortment. Hoping for some Traveler and Buildman bodies in the same medium grey down the road.

All very, very good.

[captaincraybeard]

This whole drop hit quite a few of my sweet spots! I took a few things out of my cart until I see how previous releases colormatch. I did end up jumping on that mystery fig after all....It's definitely modeled after what I hoped for but I'm excited to see the stunning paint apps that Matt referred to! Now I'm wondering if a grandient paint app is possible....??
