Grid Champion

A Tron tribute in translucent purple with blue “grid” paint. It matches the classic 1982 Tomy colorway well. Same sculpt as Battle Burger , with great attention to detail (especially on the human and burger heads) and a nice nod to the identity disk on the add on wrestling belt.
I was just talking with a friend that I went to see Tron with ages ago on Facebook, and he remarked that he wished he still had the light cycle from that time. I wonder if I could create a recogniser or tank from the granite Gohlems for him to tool around on? I probably start small with a bit.
Side-side note, doing research on Wendy Carlos was my first realisation that trans people existed, due to her doing the Tron soundtrack. She also did amazing stuff on the clockwork orange soundtrack.
Back to the Grid Champion… 8 painted heads, wrestler trunks, battle tribes trunks, wrestler boots, battle tribes boots, remainder of a regular single figure and a head swappable mini wrestler. Not shown additional Glow-in-the-Dark green clawbber hands / head.

Legendary Berserker. I like having a paint set that has a dwarf / Viking / fantasy style person of color. The tones also look great for the ankylosaurus head / shell. The face that the shell can be worn on the back or used as a shield is fantastic, too. The helmet-less bearded head has a solid Warhammer dwarf look, and the goblin head sculpt works well too. The weapons are all well designed, but the war hammer and shield seem to just make the most sense for a Berserker type. The trident is nice… I wonder if you could jury rig a net to make it more Gladiatorial? A goblin with a punch knife and dagger is pretty sweet, too. I really like this mold set in a lot of paint and pvc variants, which will become obvious in future photos. Paint and sculpt detail are excellent quality, definitely durable enough for play over just leaving on a shelf. Pretty darn posable for having basic joins. 22 parts total, including multiple heads, shield, weapons, belt, switch pin and shield grip. #glyos #glyosbuild #glyoscompatible #toyphotography #onelldesign #spymonkeycreations #battletribes
