Damn, these is just so much to take in, in those shots Sanjeev. I keep pouring over the shelves, then at the glow pics, and then back at the shelf - this could go on for hours. Just phenomenal collection, even if half of it has changed by now. So many great customs I see in there too, I have more questions than there is space for here.

Heh...thanks, guys!

But like what Steve just alluded to, the majority of these toys are gone...fortunately, absorbed back into the collective, of course...but my days of glow-only are WAY behind me. Which is a good thing, if you ask me! I still have a bunch of glowies, but it's actually quite refreshing not to feel obligated to buy a vinyl *just* because it glows--especially if there are plenty more non-glow versions of that sculpt with much nicer paint jobs (which is usually the case).



The red glow used in a number of toys is actually still sulfur-based. There's a yellow and orange strontium aluminate, but not particularly bright--and last only so long--but the chemists have yet to be able to create anything that can keep up with the sulfur red. That shit glows CRAZY-bright and it charges nearly instantaneously (and interestingly, it doesn't charge at all under a blacklight--it needs longer wavelengths to get going)...but unfortunately, the glow only lasts a minute or so. :/
