Toyfinity is an independent toy company and artist collective. They produce figure kits compatible with Onell Design's Glyos System Series. Several are former lines previously released by Ideal Toy Company. The toys are made of interchangeable parts, and hearken back to the durable, small-scale action figures of the 1980s.[http://www.wickedlocal.com/acton/news/x1941730433 Living a Toy Story] The Beacon, September 2007 The figures can be described as a cross between an Action figure and a Lego set.
History
Toyfinity toy figures are primarily sold directly by the manufacturer, although on occasion, a release may be made available where a specially decorated figure is available elsewhere. They offer two yearly fan clubs which feature exclusive figures and news.[http://www.itsalltrue.net/?p=30686 Toyfinity Announces Robo Force: Club Zeton!]
