    I believe the closest was the Death Phantom suit...

    That brings me to my other SB question,
    I have one Death Phantom, is there more than one color? so many of the toxic phantom and phantom 8, there must be more of the death. also anyone know where the name phantom 8 comes from?
    always thought there should be another more Dokurokingesque SB suit, toxic is a great plantman tribute, and death is a great satanking tribute, I hope they will do more things like this in the future :D

    i believe there are multiple colors of the death phantom

    and i think the phantom 8 has something to do with the 8 looking like a capital B
    8... B... bee ...

    The Death Phantoms that I've seen pictures of are:
    Maroon w/ silver & black
    Grey w/ marron & black
    Glow w/ silver & black
    Black unpainted

    I sure would like to see more Death Phantoms made. IMO it's the best 12" SB sculpt, but it has the fewest colorways. There's a handful Toxic Phantoms that I like - I can only get into the brightly colored ones. And I can't get into any of the Phantom 8s...just don't like the sculpt at all.

    Correct - only 4 versions made. High time a new one came out - but the problem is, so few people buy 12" suits. If enough people were up for a Death Phantom, I am sure a new one could happen. Express your desire people!

    Death Phantom is a favorite of mine - just check out the avatar I've been rocking for months.

    Death Phantom was designed by Hiro Grimm with Hiddy - the sculpt is superb. The tee was superb. Probably my favorite non-vintage suit of all time.

    Onto your Stan King question - strangely enough, as far as I can recall, there has not been a SK colorway trib from SB - why, I do not know.

    The only suit I have ever liked, actually I have been looking for the GID one for ever.
