They are an acquired taste . . . these and the OG Obake were the last of the SB sculpts that rung my bell, but once you get hold of 'em the scale and proportions compared to other pieces and the retro throwback detailing is kinda cool!
GID filled clear with black and white accents . . .

Thought the sculpt was possibly abandoned so its really cool to see a new Madball.
Plus Pogue's right imho, it does look to be the best Madball ever (the black with orange detailing has finally been eclipsed).

I can't wait for them to show up at the store. It's no Kaiju spray/GID a'la the New Years mantis but I'll take it!
Actually the colors on this are really, really great!

Once I buy this one I will be forced to pick up the other past ones that I have been stalling on.

Sweeeeeet! This is such an awesome piece, the glow makes a nice pasty green and I have been dying to see this thing cast in clear even if it does have the glow spun inside. The spray on the madballs heads looks really retro on all of them and the colors on this work perfect.
Plus madballs have those one piece arms so the glow carries all the way to its hands and feet, looks so good glowing. I am thrilled right now.

This does look sick and will be one of the first SxB releases (besides PH and Usugrow) I will try real hard to obtain!
I would like to see some more characters done this way as well... It is needed and refreshing to see sxb step it up!
A pirate, some brains, and bees like this would be the bees knees!
(maybe a remix release of the glow skullwing as well)

I'm really not an SB fan, I have one or two pieces...but I think I am going to have to try to get this guy.
And the new style Whiz Obake.

On second thought this Madball sucks ass and you shouldn't buy it.
Just kidding (about the Madball as it kicks ass) but if the SB bug bites Logang...
I'm glad there's only a handfull of classics I really need now.

Not likely, and not for any particular reason.

I didn't mean any disrespect btw just the thought of competing with you for SB stuff frightens me.
