    Ha! Near a decade now which is well crazy.

    I'm hoping it'll be one of those things that's best in hand - the side shot of it on SB makes it look a little off.
    Maybe it'll depend on the rub though - the white rub on the black skull makes it look like it has a second row of teeth which kinda rounds off the head a bit more.

    I had originally thought the head was shiny silver / chrome from the original SB email pic... was a little disappointed when I saw it up in the shop.
    Might turn out better than expected.

    So 4 versions in all Andy?

    I don't Love the skull, but I really dig these figures. I'm thinking the White w/Black Head and Black w/White Head + Bloody versions of both and then maybe even one other one. Not really sure, but I think I heard a hint to another one out there, but I have no idea what?

    I didn't order it, but I'm pretty new to this stuff and it takes awhile for something to grow on me. I never thought I'd buy a non-balzac figure, but the Halloween hunger brought in some SB/S7 stuff and my first skull brain (original painted one) is on it's way over. I should have heeded those warnings, huh.

    I really like this guy. Sucks it sold out so quick. Damn these new releases are not lasting long.

    ^^^^^

    I agree. If the suit was a rub design it might have worked, but still doubtful. I think someone in the production dept. got lazy. Let's keep the cost down by just using up these old bodies with the new head sculpt. There's just too much contrast between the head and suit. You have a strong new design with the Skullhevi and then follow it up with this. Meh

    But I'll wait until I hear from Andy. If he approves, I'll jump on board.

    I kid. I'm only six years old

    These are way cooler in person. Lot's of little details on the head. If anyone ends up with the white body version and isn't feeling it, hit me up.

    My guess is that people were either trying to keep it quiet, or they were too busy hoping to get lucky. I'm happy to say that I woke up to an awesome email this morning! :D

    I know the suckiness, but on the bright side the red glows reek (they are made with sulfur) and the glow fizzles out within seconds.

    ???

    Really? I didn't know this at all. The sulfur bit, mainly. I know the red glow doesn't always hang around very long. Can anyone else confirm this? Not that I don't believe I'm just curious if all red glow have a sulfuric smell.

    My bad, it's Strontium Sulfide, not sulfur.

    I am not a chemist, so maybe I misunderstood this:

    Neither me, interesting, but honestly I want that f***** badly! Looks like an awesome colour-combo to me. AND still no reply from SB yet?! Very unusual, hope this is good, fingers still crossed...

    That's from a site that sells glow in dark pigment powders.

    I have 2 red glow BBBs and they smell really awful.

    Unsure if you have super-sensitive sense of smell or are just a drama queen!

    None of my red glow figures have any discernible smell unless I wedge 'em tight up against my nose . . . which until your b*tching, I'd never even have considered doing!

    If it chaffs yer ass that much I'm sure there's a few guys looking to buy!
