of my entire collection,,,this whiz version obake dog has the longest most intense glow unlike any other toy I own...

Image

what is really bizarre about it is that it has an after-burn glow...when you first turn out the lights,,,it barely illuminates...unlike the others which are at peak charge...

but after a while it begins to get more intense...

I have woken up in the middle of the night and it is glowing like crazy whereas all the others have long lost their charge...

anybody with a whiz dog also experience this??

even if you don't have one,,,what is the strongest gid toy you own??

it is freaky how it still glows strong hours after the lights go out...

The unpainted GID Target Earth Kusogon glows incredibly bright. Maybe mine was a freak of the litter but you can practically illuminate the the space around it like a lamp.

I second that question! I've never seen it, I must be slipping.

Brightest GID I have is my unpainted giant M1GO Ultraman.

Haha weird! I used to own #27 from that run and it just had a normal glow like the others.

Also maybe because those kusogons are pretty big?

My Marshmallow Moonbeams Kusugon glows really bright too, despite being painted. But now I'm curious and must perform some experiments...

Jeb,
It is Blue GID. The greatest GID ever! I remember when I first saw it (Rebel Ink) I felt the same way about it not really glowing at first. Now my Blue GID figures glow all night long! Greatest GID EVER!!!

Post subject:  Re: strongest glow...whiz obake dog??
Blue GID is best.
Blue vs green: "It is 5 times brighter than the popular green zinc-based glow in the dark products available in most department stores. Technically, it will continue to glow for days. But us humans can see it for about 12 hours after a full charge."

Odd, my UNBK Skull Brain, which is blue glow, hardly glows at all. But it's such a great color when it does!

The new unpainted gid pollen kaiser glows like a lamp.im sure it helps its a hefty piece of vinyl.

Post subject:  Re: strongest glow...whiz obake dog??
I'll second the pollen kaiser, easily the brightest glow of my collection! Although, I don't own any blue GID pieces... yet...

It's strontium aluminate-based glow pigment (a crystal) as opposed to traditional zinc sulfide-based pigment (a fluid, I believe).

And technically, it's aqua glow (or whatever you wanna call it), not so much *blue*. See, there IS a strontium aluminate "blue" that's sort of a baby blue or sky blue...but it doesn't glow very bright at all, even though it lasts for a long time. The "aqua" glow is crazy-bright and lasts for-fucking-ever. Thing is, the strontium aluminate-based green is probably a little brighter and lasts even longer...but I don't think toy makers use it much because the color's pretty much the same as the traditional zinc sulfide shit...so there's not much of a differentiation.

The problem is that strontium aluminate powders are crazy-expensive. Otherwise, we'd be seeing their application a ton more in vinyl/resin/rubber-cast toys. :/

Trust me. I know what I'm talking about. ;)

Just took a look through your photobucket sanjeev.... :shock: :shock: is all I can say! Very impressive glow collection and glow shots! And thanks for the all the informative info about the different types of glow!

Very impressive collection, I see Mothra's I didn't even know existed! And your Onell Sky Deviler is quite the holy grail.

Damn, these is just so much to take in, in those shots Sanjeev. :o 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.

Post subject:  Re: strongest glow...whiz obake dog??
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. :/
