    I just picked this up at Span. I really like it.

    If you look close at the bee, you can see the inside corners where they didn't get the white paint to get the contrast. It looks like it filled with toothpaste or something. Awesome.

    As a collector nerd, I must say when I saw this gorgeous box and the amazing T-shirt inside...well, I can't give you my exact biological reaction because I may offend some of the more sensitive of our audience, but it was good. :D

    Listen, I know I am a sucker for great packaging, but dude, this is a Secret Base toy that comes in a friggin box set with a cool T-Shirt that is actually gaijin sized! How cool is that! I don't feel scammed. And yes, I am aware that I am a total dork. :lol:

    And happy birthday!

    I think Ramos had me at header card holder! To bad they didn't get more in I would have bought one to. Cool t'shirt where I can wear it. Not like the pink underwear!

    I love my skullbees! :D

    I wonder how the shirts are sized... in general, when I order shirts from Japan, you have to bump them up an additional size for western sizing.

    Painted from the inside you say? I have been wondering when they would get around to playing with that on the figures. Splatter would look cool on the inside of a translucent toy!!
    Just not a bee...

    Wow I wasnt feeling this at all, but that close up is pretty cool. Made me change my mind.

    Its not so bad, but they could have made the outfit black with the spider logo on the back or covering the entire front !

    That would have rocked.

    Looks like Frankinstein :)

    So did I. This makes all the difference.

    And now I'm simply going to log out and go upstairs before I do any more damage.

    I agree Lash but that is maybe a variation to come on the 13th! :twisted:

    So is it going to be a Skullbee each 13th with a different artists spin on it? Or are we going to see Skullbrians, Mad Mantis, etc?

    I like this one but I'm going to be in SF in a couple weeks and I wanted to drop by Super 7 and buy at least one SB straight from the tap as it were.

    Getting this one would seriously hamper my SB allowance....

    I really want to see the Hiro Grim one. And it would be for the best if different figures were featured each month.

    I agree.

    I suppose Skullbee, Skullbrain, Mad Mantis and Obake would make 4...

    A clear sheet blood splattered Obake?

    Nice... :D

    I just moved to Japan and was the first one in the door to pick up the exclusive. I wasn't too turned on by the green Skull Bee at first, but come on he Glows in the Dark and the t-shirt is INCREDIBLE!! I'm totally happy, plus after that I went over to Mandarake and got a 2005 Obake White Day special. How could my day have been any better? :D

    If you get a chance could you post a picture of it? Thanks much!
