Re: New Secret Base I forgot all about the Dekas, something just never seemed right to me about them.
Re: New Secret Base Dekas remind me of when Kozik produced those giant RxH Evils and Zags. Zero interest.
Re: New Secret Base Really? I love them - huge compared to my other toys but small enough to still be a toy. I wouldn't want a life size Bee though
Re: New Secret Base I like them, but they have some major quality issues. I've noticed that trend in large Chinese vinyl. I had one and the vinyl cracked around the waist.
Re: New Secret Base I just recently got me a Deka and I love it! I display it separately though and do not think it would work well together with standard sized toys. I still think SB missed some opportunities there - paint jobs, clear vinyl, pipe cleaners, GID bubbles . . . stuff like that.
Re: New Secret Base Oh man, I'd be so pissed if I followed your advice and didn't end up with an Astrobrain... Bullet dodged!
Re: New Secret Base apparently a very small amount of "full part sets" to go to first come first serve orders. kind of silly to make all the odd arm and head sets that do nothing to pack with the figs but i guess that's what they chose to do.
Re: New Secret Base Forgot to set my alarm and by the time I realized it I was too late. If anyone decides they don't like their Three Tides dog, hit me up.
Re: New Secret Base http://blog.livedoor.jp/secretbase_toy/ Looks like something's happening with the remaining damaged (mummy) brains at secret base during golden week... Going by the translator, it looks like if you buy one of the remaining damaged brains, you'll get the astrobrain "brain" bit in addition to the extra arm... Or am I reading this wrong?
Re: New Secret Base It actually says something about how awesome KFC is. Strange that you would get that out of it Phil.
Re: New Secret Base That's what they're doing for Golden Week? They completely screwed the pooch on making enough Cherry Blossom Astrobrain sets, so they're offloading the extra brains and arms with a figure that was released a few weeks ago? Shit - at least save them for the "lucky" bags so there's something halfway decent in them. SB made some great toys - and occasionally they still do - but it seems like they're not giving their toys the proper attention these days.
Re: New Secret Base If they're still sitting on those Astro Brain heads, that's a slap in the face for the people that bought full sets and only got inner heads and arms as the bonus.
Re: New Secret Base This is the real Golden Week deal: http://blog.livedoor.jp/secretbase_toy/archives/26140879.html The Cherry Blossom Three is a bonus thing. Maybe the first of a few extras. And the way I read it you had a choice between arm or outer head? Not necessarily you get both? As for the Cherry Blossom Three thing - I expected the bonus set to be a short run. They were never going to sell all these guys in full sets of three so it didn't warrant having enough to do so. It was only after Mark posted the bonus figure that people jumped on board - some number of days after the release. I would have thought it would have been a given that this bonus would be limited. It's a FREE figure after all.
Re: New Secret Base Anyone see Hiddys IG? Shots of those new devilman sculpts, first color dropped at super fest and sold out today. Hard to see in the pic because theyre unpainted black or blue but def looks like the one skull is pushead and the 4th one, the one we didnt get a tease of in that first mixed parts photo looks to be a, with lack of a better word, "Goner" head: big bulging eyes, open mouth, etc. Edit: Its actually 6 sculpts not 4, another pretty standard devilman and then a more straight up skull
Re: New Secret Base The three skulls are pushead, usugrow, and bounty hunter. Rocking Jellybean did the fink head. And the other 2 seem to be the regular releases
