Glyosphere's 2014 Top Ten Glyos Toys #4

Today's is number four in the top ten count down of my favorite Glyos action figures. This one will cover Spy Monkey Creations' Weaponeers of Monkaa.


Spy Monkey Creations started making Glyos toys simply as customizable weapon sets for six inch scale figures such as Masters of the Universe Classics. It wasn't long before they had developed their own glyos compatible action figure to wield these mighty implements of destruction. Weaponeers of Monkaa has its own rich mythology telling the tales of the mighty Gearo lead by Empyreus against the Vilhain and their diabolical master Umbreus. 


The standard build for a Weaponeer of Monkaa figure is rather large when compared to most other Glyos figures. It consists of twenty-two pieces which gives them nineteen point of swivel articulation. Due to the design of these figures you can build them with many different configurations in order to get even more poseability options.


Of course Spy Monkey is known for their weapons and there are many options available to collectors. From Close Quarters Combat sets to Deluxes and full-on Armories, there are many more parts available to customize your figures than I can list individually today. Perhaps I can get to do a more complete review of the weapon sets posted in the future.


Monkaa figures and weapon sets come in many different colors and price points. Deluxe characters tend to get more paint applications, usually with full panel lining. Golems are characters with very little paint and only the basic accessories.  Here we see one of each in gold combined to form a monster behemoth. 


 With guns, knives, cycles, swords, gurkhas,  and more included the possible weapon combinations are virtually endless.



Here are some examples of how well they work in combination with other lines. These ROBO Force builds from Toyfinity were designed in combination with Weaponeers of Monkaa parts. The first includes parts from an Armory, the second integrates figures from both lines fully. 



I highly recommend people check out Spy Monkey Creations' Weaponeers of Monkaa for their solid action figures and the many many useful bits and parts for use in combination with different Glyos and other toy lines.
