 Re: Cat's out of the bag
I like it.
Reminds me of what Rumble is doing with the last two clear Damnedrons. Clear Pink Hawaii and the painted clear TK2, both of which echo solid painted ones.

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
Like it a lot but I wish they'd do the standing fullsize in hawaii or the bullmark colors.

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
Pardon my ignorance but what are "the Bullmark colors?" Did you mean oldstyle paint in general or a specific scheme?

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
What? No moaning like when RxH did re-hashes of paint schemes on slightly different vinyl?!? This is a good one, I love the clear take on this.

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
Aha, thanks Bryce, I see what you mean. Yeah, that's a Hawaiian scheme for sure. A loooong time ago Brian mentioned that there were something like fifty catalogued OG "Hawaii" colorways, but these days the term seems to only be used to described the yellow-green-black and pink-orange-silver-blue-black classic combos. It'd be cool if there was some sort of visual database. I've seen several different schemes called "Tokyo."
Anyway this Garga-babe is smokin' hot.

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
That is seriously amazing. I'm not sure what it is but the combo of translucent vinyl and that beautiful color-way really personifies the details and craftsmanship of the sculpt. Love it!

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
This will be available through S7 and the distro stores. This colorway actually came about when we were making the Full Size Ava hedo. Kiokya sent us a picture of the Ava paint sample and included this one with it. We decided to make both since it was so darn amazing. Here is the full siza ava:  We decided to make the Ava a SSSS "made to order" toy (and the order is closed) and release the Hawaii version to everyone else. The S7 staff has a weakness for clear pink hawaii releases.

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
I think this is pretty nice, then again I have a weakness for hawaiian and tokyo colorways. I'm glad this is being released for the sheer fact that finding a Solid LB Walker this color is an insanely hard task. Question: Is it painted from the inside like the recent Damnedron release or on the outside?

I've got it ... there was a guy on here a while back who kept hounding me to sell it to him (must've sent me a dozen PMs). Offered me a hundred bucks plus shipping, but I told him I wasn't interested in selling it.

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
I am curious and wonder about how many older sculpts we will now see in clear vinyl.
So far this has been the 3rd reissue in clear vinyl. Two of them were one off's...(the hawaii zagoran in clear pink that scott owns and the orange/green spray zagoran one-off from SDCC) and now this.

Personally I have to say I'm really happy about some of the reissues, even the RxH ones. This figure is perfect because the original is so far out of reach for most of us and this gives us another chance to get it. Personally I LOVE clear vinyl anyway, so I almost prefer this version. Granted, I wouldn't turn down the solid version if someone offered it to me. I hope we see a matching mini hedo in clear pink as well. Wishful thinking probably but I can dream.

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
Yeah that would be cool and it's more of curiosity thing..especially with rxh doing similiar things. I just kind of wish the did the treatment to some other sculpts to add to line. I'd love a bako, EATON or standing hedo. All would be great.
I just hope they do a clear camo one!

 Re: Cat's out of the bag
i say, bring on the reissues, but the original will ALWAYS be better than these. nothing can compare to that sweet pink vinyl, mmmmmm. wish i had one.
here's hoping for a clear yellow tokyo version!!!
