    So psyched on GID Dorol HP, I love the surprise factor.

    Updated after some time. You know I really thought this was going to be a once in a blue moon thing, but Shikaruna really puts out a lot. So hard to keep up. Hope it's somewhat accurate.

    Nice new GID Maddella versions on Shikaruna. GID normally sells me but I still have reserve about stability issues with these guys. Does anyone own one? How do they stand?

    their legs are adjustable and they stand absolutely perfectly. My current favorite sculpt...My camera is broken otherwise i would have peppered the board with images a long time ago. Truly amazing piece.

    Little blurb about this on the Superfestival page: there will be a special Shikaruna Koubou exhibition at SF 51 in January... exclusive releases and lucky bags.

    No luck here. :cry:

    WTF!!
    I thought there was some licensing dispute and Shkaruna was no longer releasing Marine Kongs?
    Does anyone have info they could share with the uninformed.
    I'm not really a fan of the Gold but I hope to see some more (and maybe add one to the collection) painted Marine Kongs in the future.

    the kongs are in this year's LB.
    I think there are 10ish which are one-offs painted on brown vinyl.
    the gold kong is the "Gold Prize".
    if u find the mini gold kong in your LB, you get the big one for free.
    as far as i know, it is still unclaimed, anyone wants to try your luck?

    Those all gold lucky bag figures look bizarre. Almost like oscar awards.

    Just from glancing over some auctions I've seen, I've noticed new hp's in a lot of the Shikaruna figures. Are these all from both the lucky bags and SF51? From Shikaruna's website it seemed you could get either a p131, garumega, or chiwos in your lucky bag, but I've seen marine kongs etc. Is it just pot luck like most lucky bags?

    Questions:
    Did anyone get one of the KillerJ painted Dorols? Have pics?
    Also, anyone have better photos of a Marine Kong?
