 Emerald Blood Dokugan
 ...just went up for Pre-Order at S7. I love it. But I can't help feeling like this price is super high. I sort of expect the higher prices on the DX figures...but can anybody confirm that this is sorta steep for a regular-issue Dokugan? Any ideas as to why the hike, if in fact there is one?

 Re: Emerald Blood Dokugan
Hmmm ...
I wonder if S7 just posted the wrong pic ...
That pre-order pic looks an awful lot like the recent opaque-green Dok with purple paint, and a $150 price tag generally does mean a DX.
I PMed Josh, but if someone else at S7 sees this first, can y'all confirm one way or the other?

 Re: Emerald Blood Dokugan
I ordered it either way--but will gladly accept discount/refund if the price DOES indeed need adjustment--but I can pretty much double-verify that it's different from the Day-Glow that was released at TT for SDCC...that's much more incredible hulk vs. this with a more black/green/red color scheme.
The DX price though...yeah.
And shit, while we're asking S7: when should we expect the Emerald Blood DX's to come in? I've never preordered anything before, so I'm not sure how it works...do we just get an email?

 Re: Emerald Blood Dokugan
Yep, I thought S7 might have mistakenly used a pic of the SDCC one below, but apparently not, this new one is two-tone. So, this means four of the last five Dokugans are green 'uns - SDCC, Emerald DX, one of the TokyoCube GID pair, and now this one. Enough with the green awreddy, Blobpus!

 Re: Emerald Blood Dokugan
Josh answered me : "i do not have any additional photos of this piece, as we do not have them in-hand yet. all i know is that each piece in the run will vary slightly, as the process involves mixing different colors of vinyl."

 Re: Emerald Blood Dokugan
It looks like marbled green and black vinyl, similar to the insert for the recent DXes.

 Re: Emerald Blood Dokugan
I would guess the higher price comes w/ the mixed vinyl effect. Im trying to gauge from the pic, if the green and black are in fact marbled it would really trip my trigger. I would like to see more figures in this style.
