NEW! Ston'emm with Light-Piped Eyes!!

Back at the beginning of this month, Jeremy mentioned an idea to me that was so cool I hoped it could be pulled off. After a week or so the experiment was a success and Jeremy's idea became a reality: light-piped Ston'emms our homage to the Inhumanoids Granites are now even more fulfilled! I'm still cleaning up most of the parts, but take a look at what we made so far:

Stikks, General Mydiss & a Rock Roller homage





















General My'diss



Rock Lords 'Rock Roller' Homage



Rock Lords 'Sticks 'N' Stones' Homage


Now, what does this mean exactly? Well every Ston'emm head from now onward will have a light-piped head ala the Inhumanoids Granties. Plus, the eyes/back-of-the-head are all one piece so you can swap the eyes around with another Ston'emm figure and really customize them that much more then normal. I think they all came out fantastically well & Jeremy truly out-did himself this time.

As we get closer to NYCC, more will be revealed about the Ston'emm and what other goodies I'll have for sale at the con & afterwards.

Bah'glenn Creations Next Release: the Ston'emm!

Okay, after a few months of preparation, my next new figure is ready to be revealed. Now, this race was created by me as a kid back in the 1990's for my "Creature World" stories that took place on the planet Slauria. Slauria is where the Canne'boids came from although that was during the distant past in my stories. The 1st Ston'emm I introduced was as a bad guy named 'Crack Apart' who could break apart into 4 smaller versions of himself, or into a pile of rocks and basically trample people.

Below is a drawing of him with another character I'd created called 'Gigantus' (yes I know, real original LoL.):

Inhumanoids was & is one of my favorite toylines & cartoons from my childhood and so was Rock Lords so I think the Ston'emm were born basically from the love I have for those two properties. Plus who doesn't like cool rock guys??

The Ston'emm (pronounced: 'Stone-M') are a strong, honorable people and experts at growing and cultivating crystals. 200 years before the catastrophe that mutated Slauria & created the Canne'boids happened, about 95% of the Ston'emm population left to colonize other worlds and they were not there when the Sporr'zah Invasion took place. Since that time, the ston'emm went into seclusion from the outside world and stayed to themselves on their new homeworld of "Quar'taa". No one has seen a Ston'emm in three centuries and the general belief of the galactic populace (aside from the people left on Slauria) is that they are mythical beings that never really existed.

Then the Armovors invaded Glyos via the Zorennor Gate and began their war. During this time the Ston'emm remained absent from the conflict. One day, a ston'emm by the name Sta'lagg of Granite witnessed the Armovors brutality first hand and returned to his people to explain to them of what he had seen. He stressed to them that the peaceful races of the universe and also their true home-world of Slauria are were in danger if this threat was not kept in check. Now was not the time for silence and hiding, now was the time for action.

Em'ralld of Feldspar, the head member of the Council of Stonez agreed with Sta'lagg and informed every able-bodied ston'emm to forge weapons and vehicles of war and prepare for battle. Even though they were not overly involved in the affairs of the Galactic Council, the Government on Pru'tarr or Glyaxia Command, to sit idly by and do nothing was not the honorable thing to do.

the Ston'emm:
"Ston'emms are masters of crystal cultivation & design. Their Pow'rr crystals are used to fuel their great stone-ships, vehicles and weapons and their Grav'etee crystals enable them to pilot their Aster-Crafts in planets with an atmosphere. A single Ston'emm warrior is as strong as roughly 5 Glyans, has a body composed of ni-impervious rock and are masters of melee combat. When injured in battle, a ston'emm can absorb local rocks and minerals to re-build it's body and repair any damage taken during the fight. Certain ston'emms can use this ability to bulk themselves up and increase in size."

Now, for the release info on how to get the figures:

Each figure has six hand-cast parts cast by Jeremy Sung of Spy Monkey Creations who has been instrumental in getting the ston'emm off the ground (you rock Jeremy, no pun intended LOL!). Each figure uses parts from 1 Hub set, have drilled-out hands to hold accessories & have a cloth belt. In addition, each Ston'emm will have some paint applications (eyes & teeth most notably) but for the most part will be cast in a unique colorway. Since Jeremy & I are both such huge Rock Lords fans, he had the thought to swirl colors together just like the Rock Lords did & I loved the idea. These are just a few of the Ston'emm I assembled so far, and there should be more on the way.

These will be going on sale first at New York Comic Con 2012 and then they will be available online after the show, probably a couple of weeks after the October Glyos release so people have time to regenerate their wallets. I haven't nailed the price for them just yet but I'll post it here once I figure it out. I still have to sand-down the rough edges on the parts & paint them so when I have more finished pictures to show you I will post them here.  :thumbup:

NYCC Halloween Exclusives go up for sale tonight!

The remaining NYCC Halloween Exclusive Canne'boids will be going up for sale at 6:30pm EST this afternoon/evening. There really aren't many left so this isn't a full release, more of a "if-you-didn't-go-to-NYCC-now-you-can-buy-them" kind of release.

Also, since I have so few of these left I'm going to have to limit them to 1 per person. There will be more canne'boids coming in the future, I have a few things in the works, so we'll have to see what we can put together. I don't like to talk about upcoming releases until I have finished products to show. This way I don't get bummed out when I can't release something, and you all get bummed out because you can't own that something. I'm working on a few sculpts now and they're shaping up to be pretty cool. I'll see if I can post teaser pictures when I get enough of it done.

Stay tuned here & on the forum for the drop!

Bah'glenn Creations: Post NYCC

The con was a freaking BLAST this year. Beth & I had a ton of fun and we both extend our sincerest thanks to Matt Doughty & Co for again allowing us crash-space at their booth, in addition to letting us sell some Canne'boids there. It was great to meet so many forum members in person, as well as speak with new customers who were just getting into canne'boids & Glyos due to seeing them for the first time at the show.

We still have some Canne'boids left for sale which should be going up for sale via my Etsy.com account in the next day or so. We're going to try using this method as it reduces the work my GF Beth has to do and allows the customer to pick exactly which canne'boid they want.

My thanks also goes out to Phil Reed over at battlegrip.com for posting some photos of the canne'boids during NYCC including an exclusive first-look photo of the Canne'lanturn head sculpt. I had planned on selling some hand-sculpted canne'lanturns at the con but due to time constraints and not feeling that they came out 100% right, I held back on them. The head on the far right should be the final head-sculpt, but I might take another crack at it to see if I can't make it even better. Even though Halloween will odds are be over by the time that head-sculpt get's cast and available for sale, I'll still release it anyway so people won't have to wait until next year to buy it.

Okay, now to pass-out as I'm still not 100% fully recovered from this past weekend. I look forward to Friday when I'm off of work and able to sleep late...

Comic Con 2010 Exclusive: Now Online!

First day of NYCC was a blast! It's so awesome to see everyone again since last year, almost like a "Glyos Family Reunion". Sold some canne'boids, but we'll see how they sell tomorrow & into Sunday (those Arctic guys are going quick- I only have 2 of the 4 left! O_O). Whatever isn't sold will be online for anyone interested.

Anywho, I figure as a sort of non-con exclusive for all the people who won't be at NYCC this weekend that I'd do something special for them. Since I ran out of last year's "Alien Mercenaries Fall Special" comic book, I am going to post it here for you all to read. In addition to that, I'm showing a brief 7-panel comic with shots taken at New York Comic Con 2010 that are being shown online for the first time!

I hope you all like it, and for those that never read the original comic you're in for a treat.


































(November i.e. October 2011. I really am terrible at sticking to schedules...-Bah'glenn)

Now to go to sleep, wake up in...ugh 2-to-3 hours and go back to the con for another day of wackiness. I will see everyone there tomorrow!

NYCC Canne'boids Sneak Peek #3- Canne'geist & Packaging!

My friend Andrew & I sat down on August 23rd and threw some ideas around regarding the packaging for NYCC. I wanted to make this release Halloween themed as having NYCC in October is just prime territory for spooky glyos toys. So, Andrew worked out this doodle of the packaging concept:



I took that sketch, went on my old iMac and drew the following box over his original template, got it printed at Staples and this box is the result. We wanted the box to look like an old Halloween scene, so the whole box depicts this. Once this idea was created, we had a problem: if it's a scene, how do we have the canne'boid look out of the box?? Then, Andrew came up with the brilliant idea of having a crumbling brick-wall with a hole in the center of it for the canne'boid to peak out of. Here's some shots of it, check it out:









The box was a blast to make, and we're already thinking about the design for the next release. We hope everyone who gets one enjoys it.

Next is a picture of one of the Canne'geists, Beth did a top-notch job painting the teeth & eyes on this head, it almost looks like I made it out of sculpey. You probably can't see it, but around the eyes is glow-in-the-dark paint that frames the eyes adding an eerie glow when put under the light. I tried to show this in the 2nd photo, but I don't think it's very visible.





More pics coming soon as we count down the hours until NYCC. This will be my first con selling my toys, so here's hoping the furry little buggers sell well. ^_^
