I forgot the what number is this, but this belongs to the Secretta 5 I think...

The top one is a SDCC Secreter. The second is, as Andy mentioned, the "Hidden Boss". You would get coupons from the other Secreters and collecting them all would allow you to get him, which I still need along with the SDCC secreter...

I'm assuming they were called secreters because some of them came sealed in Pringles like cans.

Anyone have the complete set of Secreters? I'm guessing Carl and Brian do...and probably Mark. If anyone does, could you please post it?

Did anyone get their Paypal payment request yet? I received their e-mail verifying the order, but haven't gotten the Paypal invoice yet.

Thanks Pete!! I figured one of them had no gloves...odd man out. I'd love to have a full set but I'm too cheap. Secreters are some of the best toys that SB has made. Forest might be my favorite of the bunch.

I dont recall collecting coupons for the Hidden Boss - he seemed to come out some time later than the OG secreters - and at the time was available from S7 as a regular purchase. The set is an Astro-Mu tribute as I recall, and I'm wracking my brains as to the Secreter name, but I'm sure its also connected to Astro-Mu. Can ayone enlighten us?

I didn't collect the coupons myself either, that was back in the day when ordering from SB was but a fevered dream. I could totally be wrong about the coupons, I thought that's what they were for but to honest I didn't collect any of the secreters until well after they were out.

Wow. They're still accepting orders for this guy.
I'm surprised as I missed this from last Friday and emailed them this afternoon.

Does this classify as a secreter?

Can't tell for sure, but I'm pretty sure the gloves aren't different colors and it doesn't have pipe cleaners. Technically I'd say not a secreter.

but then it is unpainted...at least i think it is. so you could still say it is a secreter...or if the header actually says it is, then there's no question.

Post Re: U.N.B.K. BRAIN
There are Secreters with the same colour gloves like Employee (or very close) and one with black hands (Hidden Boss) but they all have translucent/pipe cleaner arms and are painted.

That unpainted SB probably came with a 100 point FC header as opposed to a Secreter header as its a 100 point FC release.

Its likely an unpainted SDCC Brain that could have been made into a Secreter but instead was released as a FC 100 point bonus.

Unless there's another clear pink brain with translucent grey face and body Skull Brain I'm not remembering, I'm pretty sure it's an unpainted SDCC 07 Secreter proto- not much unlike the recent unpainted Journey Skull Pirate.

In my opinion this is a pre-paint Secreter (100 point card release), but a Secreter none the less. I wouldn't classify him as an Official Secreter, but still a beautiful piece (I wish I had)!!

I'm 99.9% certain you're right. Its an unpainted SDCC Secreter that was released as a 100 point FC bonus, the header was the one used with all 100 pointers.

I don't have one but still consider my Secreters complete. Some could very well consider it a Secreter since its an unpainted or proto of the SDCC release. Its a cool Brain either way.

Yeah, I've always just called him a 100 Point Brain and never really considered him to be a secreter. I'm just playing is all. :D

But Mark, I think you should be able to put together a full secreter set by just hitting all the mandarakes around tokyo, including the Sun and Employee versions. I saw them all for 65 bucks and below last month.

Maybe I wasnt paying attention when I went last year or have they expanded their secret base section? Only the Shibuya store do I remember seeing a bunch of bases. I only hit the Akihabara, Nakano, and Shibuya stores though. Boy do I wish that exchange rate would get a bit nicer again.

I purchased him directly from s7 for 55 I believe. I remember after they were out you could pick them up well below retail for a while.
No coupons, just a direct sale here in the US,
When there was still a list a believe.
