    This one is kind of a sad story. Back in 2006, Cronic sold a 'pinstripe box set' at summer Wonderfestival consisting of a clear green Mav, clear blue Zyurai, clear yellow Doro and two clear pink Nougakis, all with elaborate pinstriping. The set was 38,000 yen and included a beautiful display case. Photo linked from datadub's flickr:

    Now it seems someone has broken up the set. Both Nougakis and the Doro were sold off. I only picked up this one (which ironically matches a Nougaki that I sold long ago when I thought I was "done" with Cronic).

    It's great to have a piece of that fantastic set, but it's unfortunate to see it go this way. I wonder what happened to the case.

    That's a lovely pinstripe Cronic set!

    Akum6n...what you mean to say is that, it includes a "clear green" Zyurai Asu and "clear blue" Maverasu right? ;)

    Nevertheless, congrats on the score!

    It looks like clear blue based but clear pink in real. Personally, :shock: x 2

    Like Darky wrote, that mav comes from Mixbox as the "Ura"-Secret limited 1/4 as long as I see the tag.
    (I bought it at second market = I didn't have a luck to buy mixbox :|)

    Zyurai is absolutely customed but not new. I posted the pics of the same zyurai before, I got the offer in Dec 2009.
    After that, Cronic/Mr.Naoki keeps silence :cry: Cronic makes the toy event interesting/exciting for me so it's really sad!

    Thanks!!

    Kaz, I am far from being complete! With Cronic, I learned, being complete is near to impossible. :)

    I just had luck on some very early Naoki stuffs, his Toyfest and collab pieces are so awesome, and we haven't gotten to the one offs yet.

    I feel very sad that Naoki san has gone completely silent these days. I hope to learn more news about him being active again.

    I think it's not fair to count one-off on complete list and in this point, I feel you own almost all of the cronic stuffs as well as the other cool toy maker's 8)
    It's really cool!!

    I think "impossible" is also my motivation to keep checking/collectiong cronic items.
    I mean, I still meet and find unknown colorway-figures like above mav with surprised at second market or here and it's fun to checking around even if cronic is in silence.
    So I hope more people will show their cool figures/collections here :D

    (SDCC Zyurai / quoted from my old photo...)

    Of course, I also hope Cronic/Mr.Naoki will come back soon...

    Not sure where this one is from. The vinyl is more of a dull steel blue, not the same color as the 2008 LB Mavs. It was bagged with the standard Mav header, but printed in blue. Maybe a Mix-Box item?

    He did a bunch in that style, combining matte and metallc colors. I'm not sure off the top of my head exactly where that one is from but yeah 2008-9 sounds right.

    I heard he pulled a KT.
    Don't quote me on that though.
