Teaser #3 added to Virtual Builder"},"content":{"rendered":"

<\/a>Updated 12\/13!<\/strong> Last summer, the folks over at Spy Monkey Creations put their storefront on hold while they made plans to retool their product line and expand their operation for 2012. As the New Year draws nearer, some teases for 2012 are starting to pop on the Spy Monkey Blog…<\/p>\n

Just a couple weeks ago, I was catching up on some posts over at He-Man.Org when I ran across an update from SMC’s very own Brian-Man. Simply put, the post (reposted here in our 7th Market Forum<\/a>) blew my mind. Sure, I expected bigger and better things from SMC’s return, but the modular aspect took me completely<\/em> by surprise. Better still? Glyos & Outer Space Men compatibility!! All that and more affordable to boot. Ladies & Gentlemen, we have died and gone to accessory heaven. <\/p>\n

Since that post, the Spy Monkey Creations Blog<\/a> has revved up again to showcase teaser images of their upcoming offerings. The silhouettes of the first couple are familiar, but with interchangeable aparts, it’s a whole new ballgame. The reveal of the third weapon should be sometime today, so keep your eyes peeled and a tab open for SMC<\/a>! <\/p>\n

In the meantime, one of the fun things about these silhouette images is that you can plop them over into Paint or Photoshop and mess around a bit with the pieces to “pre-plan” (i.e. play) what you might do with these accessories once you get them in-hand. I gotta a kick out of doing just that and thought it’d be cool if I could whip something together that lets everybody play with the pieces right there on their browser. After a java-fueled javascript crash course and some boneheaded “duh” moments with the CSS, I finally got the “Virtual” Builder 1.0 up and running. <\/p>\n

The “Virtual” Builder features breakdowns of the silhouetted weapons revealed so far and, if I did everything right, you should be able to configure some crazy builds by dragging the pieces to the right side of your screen (some may be tricky to grab, I’m still working on it). The pegs are obvious, but the holes are represented by a small indention equal to the width of a peg. Also, since I didn\u2019t have a way to rotate the images, multiple turnarounds are included. As the remaining teasers are rolled out, I’ll add to the virtual builder as time allows. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Continue to the “Virtual” Builder 1.0<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n
