Grid Avatar – Greetings Program.
Last of the Tomy Tron tributes, translucent blue over cyan grid-style paints. This is based on Flynn, down to the painted “sash / toga” top on the torso.
The blue appears to be not quite the same colorway as that if the Jesse figure, bit that makes sense given the different lines being represented.
Using the Triceratops head mainly because I haven’t shown it on a body yet and it is a pretty sweet sculpt too.
Unlike the Grid Enforcer or Battler, his shield is round and has a nice “identity disk” pattern, echoing that of the logo on the belt of the Battler or moreso the Enforcer .

He also came with 3 glow in the dark Clawbber parts, a tonfa, knife and helmeted human head, in addition to removable armor, shield and 5 bonus heads. I may prefer Flynn as an Orc or Shaggy-haired human the most, though the dino heads are a lot of fun!

Overall, the 4 Tron tribute figures are well done, are durable, highly detailed with good paints. They look and feel like they will stand up to a lot of play time and will be attractive on a shelf display. There is good diversity in the molds, colors and accessories, plus having add on glow in the dark pieces are a lot of fun.

Grid Overlord DX.

Nod to Sark from the 1982 Tomy Tron toys. Translucent Red with pink paint details. Certainly the “scary bad guy” of the bunch, a good choice for Sark.
Nice that the claw hand is able to hold weapons and accessories, and the and the cybernetic armor is a well-made variant from the fantasy and the wrestling belt alternatives. Additionally, the tonfa , contemporary survival knife, and gun are a nice split from the more fantasy-based weapons.

I have discovered that a ton of backgrounds for filmation’s he-man and she-ra are available online. That should make web conference stuff more entertaining in future for some.
1 Complete Body, 3 Bonus Heads, Cybernetic Fist, Cybernetic Claw, 2 Cybernetic Gauntlets, Rifle, Knife, Baton, Armor Overlay, and 2 Bonus Switch Pins, and 2 Bonus Glow-in-the-Dark Green Clawbber parts.

Deluxe Micro Battler Jesse.

A loving nod to the Micronauts time traveller figures. I got blue simply because I had a blue one as a kid. If possible, later I will probably pick up an orange or yellow one to go with, since my little brother and neighbor kid Jason had those too, but the blue one was the real grab. For some reason, I thought the Blue’s name was Bob. (I forget yellow’s moniker, but Orange was Tony, I think) Spy Monkey Creations named this guy Jesse, but he will likely be Bob to me, too.
Translucent Blue with silver / gold / white paint.
Deluxe Battle Tribes Wrestling figures include: 8 painted heads (6 food in gold, silver masked and bald human), white painted Wrestling boots and gloves, painted gold Championship belt, and 1 painted wrestler mini figure body. I couldn’t resist a golden apple, being both a fan of mythology and Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus Trilogy. I shall call him Kal, for Kallisti! Hail Eris!
Also includes unpainted Standard Battle Tribes boots & furry trunks.

Kale chips, making use of our #misfitsmarket box goodies. Scott eating kale, you say? It is dang tasty with olive oil and popcorn seasoning. Cooked for 25-30 at 225F. Crunchy, savory snacky. Also not shown, the apples are great.

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.

Size comparison between Palidar, Battle Burger, Mad Cyclops and the head-swappable mini wrestler that came with Battle Burger. BB is borrowing Cyke’s axe, but I don’t think they have the chops to stop Palidar if it decides to be problematic.
Battle Burger is one I had to get… Allison saw and knew I would love him right away.
I didn’t get it in time to get a free rifle, but he did come with
complete painted figure body
painted heads (burger, fries, donut, soft serve, apple, orange luchador and arnold)
painted Championship belt
painted wrestler mini figure with wrestling trunks and boots
Furry trunks
Adventurer boots

The base human head is a total tribute to Arnold Schwarzenegger with camo paint from Predator, and also has a very real Sgt. Slaughter vibe.
While the Arnie and Luchador heads are great, the Burger head just works great for me, with the angry eyebrows.

Mini wrestler is about an inch tall, burger about 3 inches, Palidar 4 inches.

Pyewacket (full of lunch, and coming down off of a friendly dose of nip) sitting atop the glyos container (mostly empty, much room to grow)

Not sure what part of him I adore most, his big ol’ ruff, his murder-toes, his sweet boopy nose or something else. I just love this little guy. #flurfy #catsofinstagram #blackcatsofinstagram #helping

Item 2, from actually a collection. Granite Gohlems Rhokk (white paint details), Rholl (Black paint details), and Gladiator Palidar, heavy black paints with blue eyes, extra heads with black and red paints, and close combat accessory set.

These guys are about another inch taller than the Cyclops, and so much chunkier and heavy compared to any other Glyos figure I have seen. They are pretty amazing. Simpler pieces and about 30 parts total per figure, with plenty of ports and angles that allow for an amazing amount of posing. Additionally, many of the pieces are reversable, chest, abdomen, and even the heads can double as mace, fists, or cannon. There is a solid Optimus prime meets He-Man kind of look on the base build.
I am looking forward to doing a teardown of the pieces and seeing what they can be reconstituted into.
