I don't have any SB stuff, never been a collector. I've thought a few times about picking up some pieces, but seeing that coca-cola brain pic and those dogs lined up make me want to start collecting. soda-colored vinyl looks so great. maybe if I get a chance to handle some SB at SDCC I'll become a believer. Sometimes seeing it in person is all it takes.
I'm a big fan of the OG Obake sculpt. This Atmos silver flake version is a personal favorite of mine.
No arguments there, but I know this colorway along with the yellow Atmos weren't necessarily hot commodities and sat available at most retailers for months and months.
I think the Blue Masked Ranger is my favorite (and first) SB Figure hands down. Mantises get no love either.
Deka Bee- that is big awesome hunk of vinyl that dominates the collection. Nightshadow Mad Mantis- why the hell is it still up for sale all over the place. That thing should have sold out a week after its release. Maybe my favorite SB figure.
Having collected the whole set to be able to get the super secret super exclusive, for it then to be sold retail before I had it in hand kinda took the edge off the lil' guy . . . . but I totally agree, the colours are pretty different from the usual SB palette and it's nice to mix it up on the shelf!
good call!!! ...both regular & secret version are awesome. maybe im wrong but think there was an unnumbered reissue of it. ...underrated with good reason.
it's also the most underrated CURE toy too. i was almost poor enough to offer my ice blue to you a couple months back, but i held back. the blue is just too good and i've always liked cooler colors over hotter ones. but i know it's in your long-term Wants list, so I'll keep my eyes open and offer it to you first if I need to move it. are you talking about the darker red and black one?
yes, if i remember right, a limited version with numbered header @ sdcc??? ...then more later without it.
the chase version is one of my favorite pink toys...I was so happy to get it and then I tracked the regular one down later. I passed on the blue when it dropped and have regretted it ever since. are there other ones?
I have been looking for the chase version forever. Can anyone post a photo of it? I don't think I've ever actually seen it, even around the time of initial release. I have the regular version and ice version, though. Just missing the most elusive, of course.
think blue would be the only other colorway, was so stoked to score the pink chase as well!!! slight white fading drips on clear pink - simply awesome. older foto with random hedorahs only:
I was trying to sell that chase on here a few months back with NO takers. I decided to give it to a friend on the board instead. ha. I still love it. GREAT toy.
