Waiting on their black & gold brother. 1 more day.

See you at the drop

[bronchuseven]

Are the wings & head from that Redakai toyline? If so, nice re-appropriation!

Finally managed to score an Armorvor! Tried the last 2 drops but they were sold out... one time I even got to the checkout screen with one, but when I went to pay it had disappeared

[ersico]

yes sirrrr
sorry for the delay in response. both the head and wings are from the redakai eagle guy

Love the look of the Armorvor's, been wanting to get them but missed out on the Hades (black) version and the GITD version awhile ago. I wanted those alot since the black looked great and I love gitd. Well then I was all set to get the newest one black/gold from this months drop and missed it due to work. THOUGH I did end up finally ordering myself some clear Armorvor's. So I got some coming to me, but not exactly the ones I had initially wanted.

I posted this over at OT, but had no response, so trying here...

Anyways, I was messing around with my Vor collection/display and, is it just me, or is the Sonesidar Vor the only production Vor where the wolf head neck paint app is a completely unique colour compared to the rest of the figure? All other Vor wolf head neck paint apps match at least one other colour on the figure. Extremely random I know, but I've only just spotted it. Hope at least one person out there can understand what exactly I'm going on about ha!

Crap. I'd love to check this for myself but I just packed them up a couple days ago since I'm about to buy my first house. What color is it?

The neck paint app is a grey colour, which doesn't link to the other colours on the Vor - yellow, white and green with a brown head. Obviously it doesn't mean anything ha, but it's just something kinda cool I noticed.

[glass67]

Weird. I've apparently skipped over that myself. Strange thing too, since I usually see what heads would match up with other bodies based on colors used.

For anybody interested, I emailed Matt (who is a living legend in my books ) and his reply was as follows:

"Hey Al, thanks for your email!

The Sonesidar Armorvor wolf head does indeed have something slightly odd happening with the neck paint.

Originally, our factory mistakenly painted all the necks brown, matching the technical details to the furry head! I asked that the paint be corrected, and matched to the yellorange PVC. Well, the match was not quite right, arriving as a full shipment before I got a proper look, due to a hiccup in communication.
When I saw the final product, it seemed like something that would be a neat oddity in the long run, so they were released into the wild!

Thanks again! -Matt"

Pretty cool really

Hey guys, if you love Vors (like I do!) then please check out my new Facebook page - The Armorvor Archive @ https://facebook.com...ArmorvorArchive

I created the page for several reasons, but mainly because I wanted a place to share a quick visual reference for each production Vor to help both old and new collectors alike. Also, I wanted a place to try and drum up new interest in Armorvors and Glyos in general, in particular aimed at my fellow UK-based collectors.

So far, before I start to put on the visual archive of each released Vor, I've started with some of the basics like what the Armorvor actually is and where it all began. I'm also very pleased to say that TGB himself has added some extra content and reference links to the page

Hope you enjoy my little folly, and if you do please LIKE and share

Quick note: The current Wolf head is going to be retired after this next drop. There will be a new alternate head after that.

[Ericnilla]

interesting, i wonder if they will be going with a new animal or a different wolf?

[ironmask]

It will likely be a Tardigrade. I can just feel it in my bones.

[Strontium Dog]

It's a wolf? Ha ha, oh boy, all this time I thought it was some kind of cat.

[jkaris]

I don't think it will be another wolf. People are guessing that it will be the Granthan head which is kind of like a T-Rex. I'm hoping for something new or one of the other Jason Frailey heads that we've seen. The Alligator or Octopus would be awesome!

I am really hoping for something we haven't seen(or bought)before. I like lots of the resin head releases but something totally new would be awesome.

 

Really hoping it's a Frailey sculpt too, he makes seriously cool stuff.

I agree 100% on the gator or octopus heads. Never did pick one up but man those things are amazing!

Out of all the customs heads that I've owned and painted, the gator head is probably one of the best in terms of detail. It even is a two part sculpt which enables the mouth to open. The chances of it being something we've already seen and could've possibly owned is probably zero. If it's not a Granthan, then there's still several heads from the Passcode 'comics' that could make an appearance. Note how the original helmet is remaining, so a new head with a completely abstract shape may also be unlikely for continuity between the shape of the helmet and the shape of the new head.
