A colossal thank you for welcoming our latest elemental phenomenon into the mix, the Velgerian! This particular figure has been in development for over a decade, if you can believe it. However, it has gained greater prominence in the past three years. I still recall the internal decision between Geodraxus or the Velgerian for our initial pvc figure, as if it were yesterday. The Velgerian still needed some time to bake, however...
This project has many people to thank for its realization, as anything nowadays is rarely done alone. I first want to thank the great Anthony Coffey for his sculpting contributions to this figure. Anthony is a truly talented and inspiring individual, who has had his hands on a multitude of Glyos projects over the years. Working with Anthony last year really helped me get to know him and his approach to work. He took the Velgerian to places we wanted to see with masterful skill. My deepest gratitude goes out to him!
Another significant acknowledgement is extended to Matt for his tireless efforts and invaluable guidance regarding the Velgerian. Matt and I spent countless hours drawing back and forth among a litany of behind-the-scenes logistics, design changes, and production planning. The Velgerian shares a true collaborative nature with Matt, as his DNA is all over this figure. Over the coming months, I plan to highlight a lot of the stages this figure took, as well as old drawings and content. It's fun to see the lifespan of these projects! Thanks brother!
I also would like to thank my wife, Sydney, for her support throughout these launches. She is really an all-star when it comes to color (for which I cannot see correctly). The process of editing these photographs to achieve the utmost accuracy would not have been feasible without her assistance. She is also present alongside me in the process of packing all the orders, and her involvement in the process over the past few years has been truly instrumental.
Finally, and most importantly, thank you for supporting Spaced Out Design. Every order that rolls through here, every comment that is posted, etc., we see and are humbled by it. It was always a dream to make a figure in production, and it's crazy to think our second figure has just debuted. I will continue to explore with you the strangeness of my world and invite everyone to take part in it together.
This is just the start for the Velgerian. We have a lot of things in the works for this guy, and we can't wait to share them with you! Keep an eye out for more production fun as well as some curiosities coming up!
Thank you again for a strong rollout; we will be finding out more about the Velgerians very soon!
