On the Move

The gears are turning...

Glazing In Effect

Here is a shot of the Acetone Vapor Bathing set-up. After the figures have been cleaned and scraped, they get prepped and dipped into the smoothing pools !

Cranking Away

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of Spaced Out content and or updates, been chipping away at the latest assortment of figures at the shop. Still trying to find a good balance between it all, but rest assured that new product and content is coming to those of you that are looking to explore a new section of the universe! Its been a very interesting transition from casting in urethane and mold making to manufacturing 3D printed figures. Let me say that in the many years I spent making molds and casting, 3D printing takes the cake on the labor load! Hah! I find it is more labor intensive post printed parts, but the end results are very satisfying and rewarding. Just to give a ballpark idea of the time it takes to make a Spaced Out toy; every figure can take up to 12-15 hours just to make one complete. This includes printing time, clean-up and scraping each surface, prepping for acetone, vapor bathing, tooling and assembling. This does not include things like: overnight cure for acetone vapor bathing and or painting/customizing. Needless to say, it takes awhile and your hands are into these guys a lot!

Above are some shots from the shop in the clean-up stage. Back to work!
(Yes, I tried taking a panoramic shot)

Old Adversaries coming to light. More soon...

In Transit

The first round of orders are packed and ready to hit the post in the morning! Thank you for coming out last night and checking out the latest Spaced Out offerings. I am truly humble to be able to share these creations with everyone. It has been super fun making theses guys and I am absolutely psyched for them to wander out into the wild!

The next wave of orders should roll out tomorrow afternoon. Check your email for shipping notifications. If you don't see yours, it is on the way!

I would like to thank the talented pixel master Marcus for whipping the site into shape and making it fit the latest theme! We worked many hours designing and tweaking elements that I think work well with Acris' universe. Thanks again brother!I would also like to thank Matt for his council on all of these projects that I decide to pursue. Matt has been a true inspiration to me when it comes to making toys. I can never thank you enough big bro!

Thanks again for peeking into the depths of Acris' realm. There is much more to come!

New Phases

Welcome to the new Spaced Out Design site!

I have been extremely busy behind the scenes developing a whole new Glyos compatible 3D printed toy line that will be debuting this year at Designer Con ! Its been equal parts fun and painful working through the tricks of 3D printing, but it certainly feels rewarding in the end. Over the next week leading up to Designer Con, I will be posting the new toy line in full force that will be available at the show and online after.

As far as the story I am telling goes, I am shifting things from Prismiria and Geodraxus to focus on Acris. This mechanical space engineer has some fun things in store I think! The whole site has now been outfitted to portray the new mechanical universe we are entering!

Huge thanks to Marcus for making the website top notch! We both have been working hard to make this site unique and his influence certainly bleeds through here. Thanks again Brother!

For now, check out the new layout of the site! The new Vault section has an archive of past releases from online and conventions. At the new Files section, you can find view able/printable blueprints from Acris himself! Also, the Shop will be returning full force post Designer Con .

Thanks for checking the latest bits out, more pictures will be surfacing soon with some reveals!

Happy 8th Anniversary Glyos!

Today is a very special day. Today marks the eighth year of the Glyos System Series being manufactured! Its such a great thing seeing my favorite independent toy line surviving and growing each and every year. I have had the ultimate privilege to play a small component to the shipping process over there the past few years as well as collaborating with my best friend on multiple toy endeavors. It is this toy line, and this friendship that has brought me to where I am the happiest and most creative! For that I will always be thankful.

Its my personal hope that Glyos continues venturing down fun roads exploring all there is in the Glyos universe.

The special anniversary sale starts Tonight, July 21st at 9:30 EST in the Glyos shop! Certainly one of my favorite waves so far!

Here is to Eight great years buddy, and many more to come!
