Details[]
Introduced as a way to expand design possibilities to existing Glyos accessories, Unlimited Builds use existing parts and present them in a brand new way.
- Delpheyden uses a combination of a uniquely sculpted head, Buildman, Phase Arm/Gobon Blaster set and Axis Joint Set pieces.
Delpheyden can be seen in the Onell Design comic Reflex[1] as part of Glyaxia Command's Sector X simulator training program featuring Delpheyden against Glyanaut Operator Cane's Rig.
Story[]
Mono Builds[]
"The Delpheyden configuration is the next phase in our ongoing collaboration with Marty Hansen, workhorse and owner of TGB Customs AKA The GodBeast. This particular head was sculpted for a crossover piece with Marty and Ben Spencer of Galaxxor and NerdCity fame. Ben eventually decided on using what was actually the alternate head for our Galaxxor team up - the Main Brain noggin[2].
Marty went on to make sets of the two heads available as a kind of DX (deluxe) urethane special edition and the results came out awesome. The craftsmanship of these heads is top notch and even make my goon sculpting look half good! I actually had this figure next to me while I was sweating out the flu this week and it kept me connected to something cool while in a fever hell. Thanks for the life preserver Marty!"[3]
Delpheyden's History[]
"When Ben, Marty and I were going back and forth about what the special head should be we all landed on a version of Pheyden to do the job. Well, I had a hard time getting into it when the time came to actually start the sculpting and I mutated the once innocent Pheyden into the bulbous thing seen above! When I showed the boys I think they were a bit surprised by the weird direction I went in and were a little confused by what I had done.
Since the brain head had a reversible "back" face that has a kind of visor thing going on, it made the cut, but since I felt a bit like a mad scientist unveiling his freak I created another head more in line with the original idea.
Naturally even that head was warped by my hazard of a mind and it became a part of the ongoing Pheyden storyline from the Passcodes involving the Delphi. I imagine it is very possible that the Delphi may have evolved from something like a Traveler throughout their long existence, and that it might be that the current Travelers could follow this pattern. This "Delpheyden" head represents the next step in a Traveler's evolution, taking design cues from the Delphi look. I see the Galaxxor body as an inter-dimensional technology that was discovered and then utilized to hasten this evolution by Glyaxia Command. I know, I have problems."[4]
