Tuttz Glyos figure series?!?!?!


Woah!!!! Check this out folks... if you are a fan of both Onell Design's "Glyos" figures and Eric from Argonaut Resin then you are in luck because just announced is a secret project that they have been working on and is sure to tickle yer fancies! A fighting squad of mini Tuttz action figures that they are calling the "Bad Luck Squadron"! This all spurred from Rob Losito aka Smack6102 introducing Eric to Matt at the New York Comic Con last year... and above is the result.


They assembled a team and brought in artist Victor Durango to help with designing the bodies, accessories and all the paint work for the entire line, and the great photos you see above were thanks to the One Cam and When Giants Meet. From what I can tell right now, it appears that there are 3 figure types... maybe more... and the staff wielding figure is the "Leader", the gold suited figures are the "Minions" and the red suited figure with the sword is a "WarLord". This is going to be a pretty cool set of figures so stay tuned on more info one it drops!
