Designercon 2015 - A Gathering of Glyos

[TRIAD]

Just got in line! I know some of you appreciated the pictures I took last year so I'll try to get even more this time around.

Yes please! Where will you post them? Here? Or on social media?

[Saul Goode]

They'll all be on here, tomorrow at the latest.

[Nezumiiro]

Hey, anyone know the price on those Tengu Uamou?

[Ghost Target]

I didn't realize LuLubell Toys would have more Rancid Raptors at D-Con. So can any of my friends at D-Con do me a favor. Can you grab a Rancid Raptor Blind Bag from LuLuBell Toys (Booth 926). I can send the $25 immediately to but it & send money to pay for shipping

Got one thanks again

[kranix]

Sounds like a lot of cool stuff has been on display out there in Cali this weekend. Has anyone found any pics online yet, or just have pics they'd like to share?

(Lookin' at you, Saul... )

Things happened...

Stuff was bought...

Cappy opened a gold bag. It was crazy.

I have some pics up on instagram

*** long post incomming***

Hey guys I had the privilege of making it to d-con this year and it was pretty overwhelming. This was my first time at a convention this big, and my wallet certainly was not ready. I was so overwhelmed and awe struck that I didn't take nearly enough pics or introduce myself to enough people that I admire as id planned to... I am pretty shy and introverted in person but I did meet and talk to a few great people.

I met Pj of Spaced Out Design who was so nice and his new 3D printed glyos compatible figures were so awesome I had to buy one. The piece of paper is a blueprint that shows how the figure is constructed.

The Vyvocree Soldier in some familiar colors.





I mentioned that the figure reminded me of Vivi from FF9 and he said that he was a huge inspiration for the figure and generously threw in a free Vivi inspired head for free! I love this toy. Thanks man!

Didn't go too crazy at the Onell booth I was hoping to pick up some of the newest exile Nobotos but they were all sold out and didn't even make it to the show.
There was some cool new Roboforce colorways and some new exciting Callgrim stuff... Especially if you like Star Wars. There was even a couple new Stryker Locke colorways on display.

I managed to pick up a deniken Noboto that I had skipped before and grabbed a rise of the beasts figure. Which I had passed on before until seeing it up close.
It really feels battle beasty and is just a great little toy.


I met Marc Beaudette and Nemo who were both really cool I wish I could have stayed and chatted longer but there was just so much to see, and I only had a few hours to do it all. My main mission was to meet Matt Doughty but he was off buying toys somewhere according to Marc. I also wasn't able to find Marty unfortunately. I saw George but didn't recognize him at first and when I finally did I had to go. I snapped a quick pic of Dagger my favorite figure from the SW's original maquette.


I also saw the Mecha Zone booth and talked with David White for a bit. His 3D printed figures are incredible. I wish I could have got some but in the future I will for sure. He gave me his Mechanaut booklet which is really well done and he put a lot of work into this line.








As far as sofubi goes it was insane so many insane toys I never thought I'd see or hold in person. I got just a couple pics from the Paul Kaiju/Spluurt table





I wanted these toys... Bad.

I was able to pick up a couple incredibly sculpted BC Blasters by James Groman which were so cool I wish I could bought the whole set. I got my two favorites.







I told my girlfriend to keep an eye out for a tall dude with a big beard and wouldn't you know it after I picked these up she nudged me and pointed behind me and there was Matt with Jesse standing right near me!

I was starstruck but did introduced myself and its all true he was such a genuine awesome guy. He saw a friend he hadn't seen in a long time and went to go say hi and I felt awkward about lingering around so I left and he tracked me down from the other end of the building just to say sorry and to keep talking.
Such an awesome experience to meet someone you admire and I wont soon forget it.



Sorry for the novel and that I didn't get more pics from the booths. Just wanted to share my experience. If you get the chance I highly recommend going its crazy how much talent and creativity can be found in on place.

I melded this trip in with a trip to Disneyland and picked up a few things there as well but I feel this post has gone on long enough

[Jdestasio]

Just wanted to drop a line and say it was awesome to meet all the Glyos people at DCON. It was good to see old friends and meet new ones!
Can't wait for next year.

[Faceless Master]

Welcome to California, we all are tall dudes with beards. Even some of the gürls

And yes.... David White's MECHAZONE guys were quite a surprise to me but a newly found favorite for my collection. Those of you not familiar with what he has created need to turn your gaze in his direction. Well worth it. I love my "Frostfire"!

Great to meet you as well. The lucky bag game was fun... Im sure that newbie "cappy" will get the swing of this glyos thing some day

Love my slices of pizza, thank you

[Galaxxor]

It was so great to see everyone, and a real pleasure to meet those of you who I hadn't met, yet.
I'm for sure coming back next year. With two functional hands!

You too! Your guy's booth was unexpected and my wallet wasnt ready for the awesome. Hope to see you next year as well but first.....

CANT WAIT FOR THAT VINYL GALAXXOR GOODNESS!!!!!

BT-Dubs.... Bossk Hog haunts my dreams

Thanks for the great overview, Podunk. I'm glad you met so many creators, it's a thrilling experience. But I wish we had met as well. Hooking up with other boardies is a blast, so much so that I have forced myself to just step up to likely suspects and say, "are you a board member?". I did this to Saul Goode and it was a treat -- he's a pleasant and considerate guy (even if he is slow to post pictures... ) Also met Faceless Master who is a laugh riot and Brian Six who carries a deep passion for the hobby. At every convention there are generally a couple of Glyos fans loitering around the booth at any given time.

Don't fret about missing GodBeast -- that experience is overrated.

The lucky bag game was fun... Im sure that newbie "cappy" will get the swing of this glyos thing some day

I thought the bags were from -- oh, never mind...

[Cappy]

Convention picture dump. Might be old news by now, by still good for the archives.








The bike was not for sale at the con, but a Callgrim drop is coming soon, we were promised.





A sense of scale. PJ says the figures are in-scale with Pheyden, which makes them nice and beefy power suits.


GodBeast gets himself a new toy! Talk about an early Christmas.


Darn cool custom buildup by the factory man himself, Nemo.



Oh, and that little felty Crayboth you see in the background? An insanely cool gift from Nemo. (Darn photobombing Crayboth...)

That Bike was amazing in person!

[Lazzy Lizard]

I can't wait for that Callgrim drop!

Thanks for the pics Cappy!

=)

[Glyologist]

I was at the show too! I had a great time and got a lot of stuff! It was nice getting to talk to Matt, Marty, Marcus, PJ, and Brian again! It was also great getting to meet Dominic, Pat, and David White! I got a Mecha acris from spaced out designs, the new weaponeers from spymonkey, the new A/V Robots from nemo's factory, the red and silver stryker locks from onelldesigns/realxhead, Unpainted new kabutos from thegodbeast, three of the four new callgrims, a predanaut from mecha zone, some bio master parts, a couple various customs, and other random non glyos related things. I loved getting a look some the new projects and releases from bitfigs to kabutos to weaponeers. Marcus had some cool new large and small bitfigs at the show, the upcoming kabutos are awesome and the others have some great new things coming up! I heard some funny stories and had a great time talking to everyone! Now I just have to wait for that callgrim drop to get that fourth grim and hope for that awesome bike!

[JafariStew]

Wow thanks for all the stories & pics my friends, it was nice hearing about your experiences!

[Faceless Master]

Finally have a min to sit down and collect my thoughts after Dcon. It was a blast in so many ways. I was blown away by the row after row of amazing creativity... It was crazy! I was lucky enough to meet so many talanted creators I never thought I would be able to shake hands with let alone chat with like Bug-Master Marty, Bio-Pat, AV-Dominic, John The Doc Kent, Bit-Marcus, Supreme Pizza Jessie and SO many other including the one, the only.... What was his name again.... MATT!!!! It was a real treat to shake your hands guys, thank you. Also it was super cool to meet Mori-san and be able to take home one of his amazing babies along with others in his clan SkullToys, Goccodo and the Punks themselves. All great guys and gals. I saw Raw Shark Jessie out of the corner of my eye but then @poof@ he was gone. Too bad, I needed some beard tips (that beard is EPIC!) and wanted to thank him for making Bossk-grim.... Just so cool!!!!

Then there was the unexpected like meeting a few of you boardies. I wish I had found more of you but squaring off in pizza battle with Cappy, MaxEPad and the lovely Astro was just such a treat and really made the trip truely worth it. I have been to sooooo many shows (toys, comic and even the dreaded SDCC) I can honestly say this was easily the most FUN show Ive been too in I cant even remember. Also, if you need luck in a blind-bag situation..... Astro's your girl.

I wish I had taken more pics of the con itself so thank you to those of you who did and are posting. I am already looking forward to next year and you better be as well. Its worth the trip bo matter where you are coming from. Next year we are going to have to have a Glyos Connection Lunch n' Meet or something. Marty said something about it being "his treat" or something like that

Till next year.... @poof@ Ninja Vanish!!

I've been waiting these since that we announced, congrats on them

[iwao]

Great pics. Can't wait for the Callgrim drop.

[Spaced Out Design]

It was a great convention all around and I was glad to have met some new faces! Stoked to see some of these figures out in the wild, I hope you all are enjoying them! Can't wait for next year already... All I have to say is Dog Haus

[Saul Goode]

I came here to finally get to posting my pictures but I think you guys have it covered I'm really sorry for the lack of pics, I got busy after DCon and they got put aside for too long. I don't have much that's any different from what was posted. If you guys would still like to see the pics let me know, I just figured they were more of the same XD

DCon was amazing as usual . It's now become a family event for us with my Mom, Dad, Aunt and Brother all attending. My mom made Matt some custom Glyos cards and he loved them so much that he gave her a Super Crayboth for free! As usual he's amazing. It was really great to put a face to the names of Cappy and Maxepadd and I also got to meet Jesse and John Kent as well! All of my goodies were fantastic but my "Best Of Show" is my new Zullbeast. It's got so much character to it!

Also I caved and got an Instagram, if anyone would like mine it's "Monkeywithfez," I've already followed some of you folks and would love to follow more.

[Spaced Out Design]

Just a heads up -



The shop will return Tonight, December 2nd at 9PM EST . The Dcon Remnants of my Glyos compatible 3D printed toys will be available as well as some small surprises. Hope to see you there!
