    :( ... I was nowhere near a computer at that time, and doubtful I would have snagged one over the phone's internet. Ah well, I need to save that money anyways, so I guess that works out.
    Congrats to all of the winners! :mrgreen:

    I vote for doing another run like this, and then limiting the purchases to the skullbrain members via pm or this thread, maybe as a lottery? Or "first post, firt seve" type of thing. By SB members, for SB members! :twisted:

    Additionally, if someone isn't "feeling" theirs, especially Ungawa's or D-lux's... I am still willing to tap into that money I should be saving. ;)

    Congrats to all who got one. I was dumb enough to try on my phone because I was already out and about. They must have sold out in seconds.

    I second a lottery or some type of SB members only run.... They were all great figures, especially hellopike's "gold teeth" & ungawa's "bulging eyes"! I'm going to be :x if I see any of these being sold by some jackass flipper who only bought it to make a obscene profit.... A run this special shouldn't be treated that way....

    Grabbed this off a friend awhile ago after what seemed to have been a decade of begging. My first MVH figure and probably my favorite colourway on the doji so far. Tried to shoot him as best as i can, but photos just don't do justice compared to looking at them in hand. The colors perfectly bring out each and every detail Rich had dedicatedly sculpted into it.

    P.s My wife complains about how creepy it looks in the dark :twisted:

    They were all fantastic in their own way. Each unique, yet sharing a common spirit together. Anyone lucky enough to get one should be proud to own it ...

    I can't wait to see where/with whom they all end up!
    The thing that's great about this run is that there really is something for everyone, stylistically and color palette-wise. There will of course be people looking to swap 'em around to get the particular artist's piece they were after, and that will be part of the fun, too!

    And for those of us who missed out, here's hoping there will be a Skull Brain All Stars part 2 :) if not this year, then next!

    I gotta get on top of making a full sized full articulated Doji.

    Great shot !!

    Re: MVH Doji San and DX Slugde Demon arena

    I love the pupil on the round mask.....it's like reflective blue.....don't know how you did that but it's one of my favorite parts.

    Articulated Doji would be great.

    You know what else would be awesome?.....an SB All stars series with the Doji San figure.

    man that clutter doji release really got me kicking my own balls, i was early and refreshing but on the toy and exclusive page, who knew that there would be another tab for toy mafia. So jealous of the people who scored, really sweet colours!

    While we wait for boxes to start flying/landing... I'd like to share with you full frontal shots of the two guys I previewed earlier in the thread.

    Stunning paint! I'm surprised I haven't seen more of your customs around.

    Thank you, Brian!
    :D
    Yeah, I definitely don't get the time to paint as much as I'd like to, but I always enjoy it/try to make the most out of it when I can!

    :|
    Um... no, chickenchop... just sharing my work. Your choice of emoticon would seem to indicate that you're saying this without a note of humor, so... I guess I'd just say to you that true collecting is a marathon, not a sprint. You'll have opportunities to pick up tons of very cool pieces in the months and years to come, if you stay involved with the hobby... you might even be able to grab a piece from this run, at some point.

    Shaky & Pulpus are AMAZING Michael!
    You're painting is as organic as the textures on the figure. A beautiful execution!
    Please share all you want!

    Thank you, Ralph!
    :D

    Well, I'll say it again: these Sludgies practically painted themselves! The organically evil rot-riot of shapes and textures Rich packed into this sculpt really guided my paint applications so well... one of those jobs where you really feel you're working with the toy, as opposed to just laying down a color/design scheme.

    Hey Ungawa, i think you've misinterpreted, i was actually complimenting your work and yes there was a hint of humor mixed with regret for not checking on the timezones correctly. To be honest, when i first saw the teaser i was gunning for neb5 and hellopike colors, but after you posted your images, its pretty clear what I'm going to try and score in the aftermarket. I apologize for the bad choice of emoticon!

    Thanks for the tips on collecting, I'm actually quite new to this scene and from the looks of it recently, I'm pretty sure sofubis are going to be permanents on my shelves. cheers! :)

    Thanks for clarifying, chickenchop... I wanted to think you were just sort of ribbing, but sometimes it's so hard to tell... oh, these webernets! :lol: All well and understood, then, Sir... and thank you for the compliment on m'boys! :D

    Very nice! I guess we won't get to see the other ones you did until they arrive at their new homes :) How about giving us their names?
