    Putting them back on is such a pain, last one I took off involved a hair dryer to put back on.

    nice suit NT, iv been wanting one of those more and more lately.

    the sheet was a pain in the ass to get off and back on. actually less to get back on once i figured it out. best to take the head off and pull it last and place it first. obviously all involves a hair dryer. I cant decide if i want to display him naked or not. the sheet takes away from him, but he feels a little lacking on his own, next to everyone with a bag.

    also i was playing around some more and did this:

    Finally landed both of the OG Pumpkin Brains. My favorite SB sculpt, and these are definite classics.

    I have yet to own any Pumpkin Brains. This pictured has inspired me to start tracking some down.

    TWO of the best SB has ever released! Mine are both still unassembled. They took me an age to track down as well...and mega-buckage at the time. Great score!

    Here's another well of pent-up wanting finally released- the Ocha Bee. I have searched for this thing nearly since signing up for these boards. I swear it has not shown up more than 2-3 times over the past 4 years.

    Finally in hand, it is amazing, beautiful... and slightly greasy. Oh well. The clear antique-glass green vinyl is perfect. The lazy drips and drabs of green paint around the toy are like the tea dregs swirling their way to the bottom of the cup. Simple, yet positively breathtaking.

    Thanks for all the posts, guys- and for bearing with my barrage of newfound SB enthusiasm... :oops:

    @Darky- the Pumpkins were from Mandarake and eBay, I think. Bee was from the YJA exodus.

    One of my favorite ever bees - VERY nice score. This is another of those toys you cant fully appreciate until you see one in person.

    I was going to post in "The "What I got in the Mail" Thread", but wanted to revise this thread instead.

    I have received some really great boxes of figures in the mail, but NONE compare to this :!:

    skullbrain = RFSO to me :!: Thank you doesn't begin to express how I feel :!:

    I will set him free in the not so distant future.

    Nice! There's been a lot of classics up for grabs lately. I had to pass on that and the Sly/Robbie that's currently available.

    SLYANDROBBY is one of my all time favorites :!: I can't believe he is still available.
