There have been a few very big Glyos figures, but Toyfinity's Manglomortis is massive and ready to vex any Bone Age cave men you may have around. He's not quite as tall as a couple of the Four Horsemen aliens, but Manglomortis is a tall 4 3/4-inches at the top of his helmet. Some parts were used with the Mangloskull figures, but if you missed those he's pretty much an entirely new massive figure that pushes my buttons in the best ways. It's like something I should have had in the 1980s, if heavy figures of Glyos joints were likely to be found.
I got the first Manglord - Standard [FOTD #2,944] a couple of years ago and he's big. The construction of the new Manglomortis body is very much compatible - pop apart the legs, arms, waist, and swap elements between them. You can swap them with Pheyden, the new Infinite Pheyden/Sarvos mold, and almost everything else. Included in this set are switch pin pieces, which can allow you to connect two Glyos holes if that's your game. Just keep in mind this figure is much larger, so the parts may look silly... or amazing. I gave an old Skeleden one of the massive new fists and it looks like a fun fit.
If you need a starter figure to see how Glyos joints work, this is a good place to get a ton of options in one set. I admit I had some issues getting the hips into the waist sockets, but nothing is impossible. The figure's parts are spread across two sealed plastic bags, and you can either put together a Mangloskull with Life Spikers legs or just slap on the "Rocks and Bugs and Things" bits which are mostly bones. It's really cool - the new pieces all have at least one face on most pieces, so they can be their own little separate characters when not a part of the big guy.
The joints are tight enough to keep him from tipping over, but not too tight. Each arm has a swivel shoulder and elbow, with legs that twist at the hip, ankle, and knee. The neck and waist turn, and you can connect parts to the back using a switch pin.
The sculpting is a mix of styles. Take a look at the heads. The skull head looks like Erwin Papa's work, but the big helmet head looks like it might be both his and Matt Doughty's. The face looks a little bit like a Pheyden or other traveler, with a helmet that mixes their styles, and I have seen pics of another, hidden face under a mask glued to the back of the head that looks a lot like the Manglord. There are clearly plans in place for this mold. The bony body has genuinely pointy elements, with multiple colors of paint and deep sculpted grooves that help the detail pop. The bony plastic color is fantastic at showing off detail, and I bet a customizer who hits it with a paint wipe will have something stunning. As it is, it's still incredible with little cracks and grooves showing signs of lost battles or possible bite marks. (We don't ask. We don't judge.)
Holding the figure in my hands revealed tons of detail in the bones, like lots of teeth in the hand head. Also, faces. The Spinecrawler is a creature made up of the lizard head and tail plus a switch pin, but if you look at it closely you'll see it has three faces. The obvious jaws are there, but at the base of the skull there are other unpainted faces sculpted there for future use. Clever! The backpack is actually the Jawstalker, with a little head with gren eyes plus wing-like bones spread out. You can make a third tiny creature using the two Mangloskull hands and a switch pin, and that's the Hellipede. The red muscle bits are also eyes. Each of these parts has spines, spikes, and other details that show dozens and dozens of hours of hard work and probably a few stabbed fingers went in to them, which impress me to no end.
Depending on how you put this guy together, you could have - easily - four creatures in this set. Just not all at once - two of them require hands, and you've only got four total in the set. I haven't been able to come up with a way to get all the parts on him at once, so you'll want to have a storage box or baggie so you don't lose anything not currently in use. You can even outfit this guy with other parts, but so far I've found almost everything else to be too small for him. The new Infinite Phase Arm is nice, but just not big enough.
The character is a big deadly giant monster, and in the context of this line he absolutely fits. Heck, he looks good with all of Glyos, but doesn't fit in quite as well with some other roughly 3 3/4-inch lines due to being like something out of the back pages of some Go Nagai book. My biggest complaint is lack of access. Most toy collectors will never have a crack at this, and I feel like it's the kind of thing you might stumble on and just need to have. If there's a rerun or a recolor, give this one some thought. But don't take too long, this one sold out in about a day.
