That dark translucent vinyl with glitter is so nice. Hope we see that on more figures. I guess we did just get it on the new DBM.


We did? Mines in the mail - but now I know!

Incredible collections - mind is blown again by Marks glitter bees and the sdcc unpaint, Cube's minimalist bathroom bees, Gimtrees great photos and Phil's superb unpainted collection.

An anti climax then after this perhaps, but I am stoked on some of my recent SB pickups and thought I'd share. After all this time, ups and downs and fickle fandom, SB still deliver.

Newest Skull BBB release, dark smoked green translucent vinyl with glitter. Three versions that I know of.

Not anti-climactic at all Carl. Your collection is always amazing. My stuff is all the same old stuff, just photographed differently... I wish I had the scratch to be able to pick up all the SB releases (well the fight figs ayways) the bagman look great, and shit you got a great mix on the astrobrain! It's got a great flow from one piece to the next!

I actually picked up the same three just a few days ago, they are awesome indeed, lovely examples of glitter. Love the way the vinyl is almost transparent when held against light, that dark petrol green and black is a great combination with the purple / red glitter.

Hey Phil, I think my first Secret Base was a Obake Dog, unfortunately not 100% sure as I bought quite a few the same day, during my first trip to Japan in 2008: I finished up hauling between SB, Bemon and Sunguts. I've been collecting SB since but I'm not a completist in any way, I just pick up what I like... and I love Obake Dogs, Goners, many of the Go Nagai based releases, unpainted and marbled Pushead, MIM, Balzac, some of the Cure colabs et cetera. Fight figures however, such as the Skull Bees above, are a recent addition.
Anyway I think my first Secret Base was the Obake Dog here below, with the red shirt (sorry can't find a better shot at the moment):

Image

I clearly remember thinking when I first saw this rub version that to me it looked somehow related to Hideshi Hino and to Mizuki's early GeGeGe No Kitaro drawings (I think the rub added to that impression) and discovered later the reference to Madballs. The thing is that if I think of my collection and count the SB toys, I have the feeling I just have a few but in reality I'm pretty sure they exceed by far any other company I've collected in these years (except perhaps Gargamel).
