THANK YOU!

Thanks to everyone for their participation in this round!

It is difficult to know what the reaction will be to certain concepts as we move forward with expanding the mythos of the Robo Force, Star Team, and Zeroids, but I want to say thanks for your support of the vision we have had to expand the Knight of Darkness and the other Knights which inhabit the Toyfinity universe - as well as the Darkness Soldiers and the various Zeroids which battle them.
When we started concentrating on getting the Classic Zeroids into the line, it was my hope that people would see the potential of these classic characters.
I'm very pleased to see the number of builds out there making them larger characters as they had been in the classic Ideal execution.

We're at an interesting time in history where oys R Us is out of business. The K-Mart I went to throughout childhood finally closed this year...but yet, here we are expanding the universe of the Robo Force. I wouldn't be able to do it without you, so please know how much I appreciate it.

See you in a couple of months for the next release!

THANK YOU!

Thank you to all of the fans who supported our most recent release of Robo Force, Zeroids, Mordles, and Star Team characters!
You have many choices for your collectible needs, and each and every purchase is appreciated more than you can know.
A few fans had asked for a pic of the Maxx Zero build possible with the Sentinel kit, so check out Protector Maxx Zero above!
The Nazarran and blank white kits are low stock so get them while you can.

And do not despair, supporters of the Cult of Dred...though the Robo Force has once again beaten the Darkness Soldiers, the Darkness shall Fall again...

Ah, a special thanks to Matt Doughty of Onell Design for once again allowing the Robo Force to live again. Can't do it without you, my brother.

Thank you!

Thanks to all the Robo Force and Mordles fans who came out and made some purchases over the last few days! It is much appreciated.  I know that you have a ton of potential fun things to purchase with all of the Kickstarters and exclusives this time of year, so the support you show does not go unnoticed.
As of this writing, the entirety of US-based orders through Tuesday have been shipped out, with the non-US orders just about ready to go and ship out on Wednesday. Combined shipping refunds will be later this week. I can't wait for you guys to get these figures in your hands - a lot of work went into this round on all sides of the equation, and I'm particularly proud of the Vanguard figure. Make sure to take it outside and look at it in the sunlight - it becomes almost a completely different figure in the ever-lovin' bright light. Getting to update the classic Star Team logo was also a blast.
You'll see some fun things pop up on the blog later this week - just because the release has occurred doesn't mean the fun is over!

On another note, there are a few things that have been on my mind that I'd like to share with you.

I find that working on toys is much like working on movies.
Very rarely are you at the start or the end once you start the machine rolling.
Time is a constant enemy. Every day you think about your products and what has to be done to get things ready in time (usually months before any other humans will see what you are working on) and there's a continuous cycle of money coming in and going out as the orders and bills roll in. By the time the product you worked on three months ago comes in, you are already working on the next products; the critical decisions are being made on the next product while the current product is shipping; and you have to take guesses as to what people will want a few months down the road while trying to process the information gleaned from the current sales. This is barring any glitches in the process.

With this in mind, I'm going to take this opportunity to let you guys know that there will not be a Robo Force release in August, and potentially not in September either. Mordles will see one release in August, with September still to be determined.
It has been a busy and chaotic year so far - I recently wrapped production on another movie, and there was a slight delay with this product release that pushed us into July. These occurrences have combined to push the next Toyfinity release (after the August Mordles) into September, possibly October at this point.

In the meantime, make sure you check out the next Onell Design release on Sunday the 27th!
It is the seventh anniversary of Glyos, and whatever they have planned, it is sure to be a blast.

Thank You!

THANK YOU!

It was another great release for Robo Force and Mordles. I’m pleased that you guys have shown the love to our Wrecker and Sentinel releases, as well as the Seas of Uzalek-based Mordles releases.

The first packages will go out Wednesday. I have been working over the last two days to arrange all of the invoices and make sure combined shipping happens for all of you. I’m looking at a way to automate this for Club Mordle members – more on this for year two of the club, on sale in May.

Sentinel has been stocked in much higher quantities – I was tired of there being no stock to purchase! I love that all of the characters can be built from this one kit – supplement your collection with a bunch of them! You guys are fanatics and we’ve sold through a really good number of them already. The next release for Mordles will be in April, with the return of Geihoza and full packs of Geists, as well as the Explorer Mordles. Robo Force should return in May or early June with three brand-new editions.

For those of you who are going to Super Robots Giant Monsters or C2E2, you'll have a chance to pick up these sold-out editions in limited quantities. See you there!

THANK YOU!

We here at Toyfinity would like to say thanks to the Mordles fans for a fantastic showing!

The Geihoza and Geist Mordles blew out of the store - we'd increased the run for both of these editions and you guys demolished the allotment!

With this in mind, Geihoza and the Geists WILL return in April, with a few new twists...

We've also heard you about Club Mordle! Watch for details on when it will be reopening for 2014.

 

Every single order from the last Mordles round will go out today. Many of you will already have received your shipping notices by the time this is posted, with the rest to follow shortly.
The future for the Mordles is incredibly bright - while you are waiting, enjoy the newest page of the Mordles comic, showing another scene I've been waiting to show you since I wrote the script last year.

While I'm posting, there are few things I need to talk about here concerning the immediate future of Toyfinity.

There are a number of exciting things going on in and around Toyfinity (that I don't want to spoil) that should come to fruition later this year, including something I've personally wanted to see since 1985 and never thought would be possible. There are going to be plenty of comic pages detailing the lives of Maxx Zero, the Robo Force, the Mordles, and later this year, the Manglors. You'll continue to see a number of great Toyfinity products from our existing announced franchises, as well as a few new ones which probably aren't too surprising if you've been reading the comics carefully. ITS NOT STARRIORS GUYS! Though I am looking into them...

But with so many great things occurring, there are a number of matters which require my personal attention to ensure the future of Toyfinity in toys, comics, and some other new arenas.
In the coming days, you'll see my second-in-command, Michael Hart (aka Glidetron on the forums and Twitter), appearing as more of a presence here and in Toyfinity's social media. He was instrumental in the recent shipping round for the Robo Force getting out within a few days of product landing in the US.

You might even see our resident webmaster general/man-at-arms Charlie Parry popping in from time to time with wisdom from the halls of the ParryGamePreserve.

Treat them nicely! They've been here since day one so you shouldn't notice that much of a difference in things. And I'll still be here, posting from time to time and answering your personal queries about the website, shipping, and the rest.

To answer another question I've been getting recently, the next round of Robo Force should be hitting in March!

Be excited for the debut of SENTINEL THE PROTECTOR! The other edition has to remain a secret for now, but let me say this - it is definitely going to wreck and rule!

We're working hard to ensure that there are no issues with glue bonding on this next round.

Less than 5% of the product was affected based on the reports I received from the fans, but we're trying to get that down to zero percent.

You'll also meet the denizens of the seas of Uzalek in the March Mordle editions. They aren't the friendliest Mordles you'll ever come across...

Also be sure to support the other members of the Glyos System family. There are more fantastic editions coming from all of the sister companies to Toyfinity. They make great enemies and allies for your Robo Force and Mordles!
Finally, a special thanks to Matt Doughty and the Onell Design team for all of their hard work assisting Toyfinity in 2013. Could not have done it without them.
