    Those are actually great photos for phone/pants pics :razz: especially the last one!

    And I'm definitely going to need one of those pinkies! Thanks a lot for the free taste of these guys - you are like a cruel but savvy drug dealer giving out free samples to get us hooked :twisted:

    Well, I'm either going to have stuff at SDCC or DesignerCon or both but for sure I'll have stuff with John Trimmer who is painting up crazy-awesome simple paints like this:
    [​IMG]

    Then soon...like in 3 weeks I'll have the yellow chest clears at Lulubell and prob some specials like this 1-off I gave to Miyazawa-San at Siccaluna in Japan last week. They'll be random packed in with the yellow inserts.
    [​IMG]

    Then pinks for SDCC or Designercon and a bunch of "Just Parts" bags for customisers.
    I'm finishing these now...so small...so many parts.
    [​IMG]

    Then one last run of purple clears to introduce the ION Men pilot....then I'm going to do the pilot then retire forever. :mrgreen:

    I'm starting something with Eric Nilla that will be a release like those but with a different insert....I want to do a new sculpt with Eric but we're still talking it over. We're trying to have something ready for display at SDCC but the new toy(s) itself wouldn't come till next year.
    It's hard to decide whether to expand the Ion Men line or do new toys.
