    Maybe coke bottle Garudan will be next year?

    Was the yellow/Gid Deathra from some other convention / show ? Seems like there has always been 2 versions of Deathra each year ... until now?

    I wonder why the bags were so different this year compared to the last couple. There are a lot more painted Miborahs popping up on here and IG but the amount of painted figures in general has dropped significantly. The standards seem to be the only difference between bags other than that everyone got the same minis give or take the zodiac rooster.

    That is the type of unpainted 1 off gargamel would normally put in a bag so that is hard to tell.

    I heard from a couple people that the bags were delayed this year for a few reasons and everything fell pretty far behind. Maybe there just wasn't enough time to give the bags the variety they usually get.

    Personally I would be happy with any of the bags I've seen so it's no big deal to me at all.

    So my bag finally arrived today... You can imagine how mortified I was to find this on my doorstep.
    It's a damn MIRACLE that nothing inside was damaged. Either way, USPS is going to hear from me. This is really unacceptable treatment of a box, especially 2 Day Priority Shipping that you pay extra for.


    Thrilled to bits about the Mecha Zag!!! It looks amazing in hand. Will take some better photos tomorrow in natural light.
    And yes, DDR Projects added an extra micro as thanks. Little Boris was literally half falling out of the box's dented side. What a close call. :( Had they been a little rougher with the box, I would have lost him.

    Is the unpainted Zag the same vinyl as the Zodiac?

    They look like the same with the glitters, only zag is glossy finished while the zodiac is matted

    It's just a matter of how the sculpt was finished before casting. Same vinyl, different textures on each sculpt.

    I think it's more after the electromagnetic casting that produces this result - not the finish of the sculpt before casting. Unlike resin casting where you can coat/finish the sculpt for a gloss effect in the silicone mould, with vinyl casting a chrome finish in the metal cavity will produce a gloss effect.

    I haven't seen any group shots. Last year's didn't have any so it would be '15 and '17.
    The are the unpainted I've seen:
    Blue (lb)
    Glittery green squishy (lb)
    Glittery silver
    Glow in the dark (with saddle and Randall)
    Neon green/yellow (lb)
    Neon orange (lb)
    Neon marbled (lb)

    Ohh this is why I miss Grasshut forum. I believe there was a database everyone painstakingly built.

    I like the 2017 LB auctions where they include the whole bag, except the Rooster, while leaving the Rooster card in the group shot.
    Seems to be the thing this year. Buyer beware.

    I feel like I'm seeing a lot of nearly-complete LBs resold right off the bat. Seems like more than in prior years...
