    Released yesterday and sold out. I wasn't able to grab one. These will probably be hard to get for the next several releases as I am sure many I trying to get them.

    I think the turtle is the best one yet. Reminds me of a character out of a book I read as a youngin'. I mean, so does the frog does, but the turtle's got a skosh more personality.

    Funny to see myself saying I preferred the Kamengo up there, when I pretty much zeroed in on the Keronga after that.

    @chimply.kaiju - I was hoping you (or anyone who might know) might clear this up any for me. I've seen several pics of the Keronga pictured in the spoiler, and I ordered one when I had the chance from a certain overseas big-box store. But the one I received, there's no blue in that head/back spray whatsoever. Hold it up to the light, take it outside - it's just a straight-up kelly green. And I'm not even interested in it. It's just green and a darker green, instead of that nice blue. Which I've never seen in any pics. I tried two different cameras and I'm having a hard time getting a decent pic of the difference.

    So, I'm wondering does anyone know anything about that color? I took it out to see if I could get a better pic, and this is the first time they've looked similar, and I realize they look like they could be the same thing, but if you hold it up to the light, it's like a green 'hard candy' green. No blue at all. Are these just misleading pictures, I mean my pic right here, the paint does definitely looks bluer than what's in front of me.

    @Odibex - It's green spray. I know a few that also got this version mention how the stock photo appeared blue, but in hand is actually green.

    @chimply.kaiju - That is... bizarre. Because I had to've seen pics from a few different sources. I mean, I have seen that kinda thing happen.. And I asked someone on the FB group and he said his was as advertised. I would definitely yield to you on that, though, I really don't even know who that was.

    I guess I'll start taking some different shots and see what I can get. I don't think I've even taken one straight through the head like these are, actually.
