sick sick display! wow

too sick.
and i definitely need a Pink Marbled Mongo. period.

This is my first post on SB & I figured it would be appropo to post in thread because this piece brought me back into collecting after not really buying much for a long time. I've been a huge fan of Joel's art for years & when I saw this piece recently I flipped (I know I'm a little late)

Also I'd like to say hello to everyone here

^^
Another New Yorker?

Sure looks like it...

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.

I count 37 here...I'm just wondering how many of these are official releases & how many are customs?

Sorry if this question was already asked....

I'm glad you asked...

Official releases: 12
Blue glitter painted (SDCC?)
Yellow Swirl (NYCC 11)
Mumm-Ra tribute
Mets tribute (NYCC 10)
Clear red painted (Mishka release)
Pink/GID swirl painted
Black painted (first release)
"Barbecue" (inner pour similar to "Ghost")
"Ghost" GID (SDCC?)
Jade (SDCC 09?)
FHP Green/Copper
FHP Purple

SSSS releases: 2
Unpainted black
GID painted (Super7 red/blue colorway)

Lucky Bag releases: 4
Black glitter with white rub
Blue glitter unpainted ("ice")
Tiffany blue
Slightly darker blue (unpaint of Mumm-Ra tribute)

Special unpainted/protos (probably less than 5 of each exist, a lot of these are from L'amour himself): 8
Dark unpainted blue (same color as Mets)
Yellow swirl (unpainted version of NYCC 11)
Gray (possible that only one exists?)
Glow (unpainted of the SSSS GID)
"Jade" unpainted (bright clear green test shot, I think 3 exist)
Pink/glow swirl unpainted

Black glitter unpainted (of lucky bag rub version)

Customs: 11

Donatello (L'amour Supreme)
Purple/green on blue vinyl (L'amour Supreme)
"Ultraviolet" (I believe the first custom done by L'amour Supreme)
Pink/black (Dead Presidents)
Red/gold/pink (D-lux)
Blue/silver/gold (Gatchabert)
Gold/brown (Nebulon5)
Black/orange - details are hard to see but it's very nice (hellopike)
Green/black, red sword (Le Merde)
Purple/silver/orangish (Toybot Studios)

So...
12 "Official" + 2 SSSS + 4 Lucky Bag + 8 special unpainteds + 11 customs = 37!

This is also not the most recent photo, add at least 1 custom to it

note: I have a(n incomplete) Mongolion database somewhere on my laptop/hard drive, can post it if people are interested

nothing more to say just the grey proto it's not glitter

...grey proto mongolion -2 exist that I am aware of, there may have been one other in japan at the factory, maybe not. L'amour (had) one, I have one.
...bright green jade proto -2 exist, they are slightly different colors of vinyl and translucency between the two, close but not identical. L'amour (had) one, I have one.

Both of these are true prototypes as opposed to unpainted samples.

and don't forget the clear test shot of L'amour

KiKaiju your collection is insane! I can't believe that u have managed to get all the lions. Kudos my man. Really cool collection!!
