The Blot just found out about Troy Stith’s newest creation, the Bio-Buildman Glyos figure! These awesome figures are currently available for pre-order through Troy’s online store from now until January 1st, 2012. You can order a complete blank DIY resin Bio-Buildman, as well as all of the bits that make it up individually. This way, if you only want certain parts to make your own Glyos custom figure, you can buy them separately. This will be a limited open-run, meaning Troy will only be casting enough to fill pre-orders plus a few more him to customize.
To be honest, I have never been all that into Onell Design’s Glyos line. But as more and more of my favorite artists get involved with creating their own Glyos compatible designs, I’m starting to see the light. I really love what Troy Stith is doing here (and the folks at Argonaut Resins with their Tuttz Glyos figures) and will definitely need to check out some of these guys in person! The complete Bio-Buildman Glyos resin figure is $25, while the individual body parts range in price from $2-$4 a piece. Head over to Stith’s Gorilla Mouth online store to pre-order one today!
And for those of you wondering who the Bio-Buildmen are, here iss their official back story: Hailing from the murky marshes of Sesar IV, the Bio-Buildman are an organically reptilian race of hunters. Upon hatching, they're left to tend to themselves. While young, the Bio-Buildman live on instinct that turns to cunning shrewdness as they age. Each Bio-Buildman's carapace armor and weaponry grows specifically to the survival needs of each individual. The planet of Sesar IV is full of ever-changing alliances of Bio-Buildman. But one thing remains clear to all who've tried to lay their claim to Sesar IV, the Bio-Buildman will unite and crush any foe that encroaches on their territory.
