More Xenotron WIP




I just wanted to do a quick post to update the progress on my Xenotron: Techno-Organic Alien Mecha sculpt. Due to my lack of anything remotely resembling any technical sculpting skill, I move very slowly. But I'm quite pleased with how things are coming along.




Obviously, there is a great deal of work yet to be done here, in terms of cleaning things up and fine tuning certain shapes. For example, I'm thinking that I would like his forearms to taper quite a bit more towards the top.
Please feel free to send me any input or feedback that you might have on this and be certain to keep an eye on the blog for future updates!

Power-Con Interview with Pixel Dan



While at Power-Con/ThunderCon, my friend, Pixel Dan of the Pop Culture Network was cool enough to interview me. We talked about the Galaxxor 007 exclusive, the convention itself and the future of the The Galaxxorverse.
For more excellent video coverage of Power-Con/ThunderCon, be sure to check out the rest of Dan's vids at The Pop Culture Network.

An Image from the Future?

Last night, somewhere in a fortress in the far reaches of space known as Onell HQ, Marty "The Godbeast" Hansen and Onell Design's Matt Doughty were hard at work sketching out their plans for intergalactic domination and NYCC. During this session, Matt sketched up his ideas for slight modifications to the original Galaxxor design, should it ever move towards a vinyl production figure.
The idea is essentially to maintain the classic 5.5" figure style and dimensions, but to add a little bit of extra visual interest here and there, while also incorporating a bit more in the way of articulation and compatibility with similarly-sized Glyos vinyls like the Armodoc and Rig.
I think the design looks great, and I'm honored that Matt has taken an interest in my humble little creation. What say you?
If you're headed to NYCC this weekend, be sure to pop by the Onell booth (#578 in The Cultyard) to check out all of the awesome stuff that Matt and Marty will have on hand. Marty should have a very limited number of blank DIY Galaxxors, so be sure to get your hands on one of those, too!

DIY, Galaxxor, DIY!

Ever wanted to get your hands on a DIY Galaxxor? Then you might just want to get to NYCC, at the Javits Center in New York, October 13-16! My main man, The Godbeast, will have a suuuuuper limited run of one of a kind, Do-It-Yourself, blank Galaxxors available for just $50 a pop! He will be at the Onell Design booth (#578). While you're there, be sure to check out the super badass selection of toys that both The Godbeast and Onell will have on hand!
Best of luck to those of you that are hoping to score your own DIY Galaxxor! And, be sure to send me pics of your finished figure at ben@nerdcityonline.com.
Sadly, I will not be attending NYCC, myself, this year. I might, however, spend that weekend walking around with a pop bottle full of bourbon, anyway.
