 Obake & Dokugan Dilemma
Crap. Being self-employed is great any day other than April 15th. Gotta get rid of 1 of these 2 Dokugans and 1 of these 2 Obakes but being the indecisive bastard I am I can't figure out which ones. What would YOU do?
Clear Orange Glitter vs WCC GID Frozen
FC Glow vs Clear Twim

That GID Dokugan would look pretty at home on my purple shelf

Honestly, I would ditch the Obakes and keep the Dokugans. Dokugans are, I think, much more difficult to locate after the initial release than SB items appear to be.
Between the two, however, I would keep the New Year's Dokugan and the clear Obake. I've seen the FC Glow go up for sale a few times; the clear only once. The Dokugans are a toss-up- I think the New Year's is more popular, but I haven't come across another Frozen one for sale...

Thanks for the opinions, keep em coming. I really do want to keep one of each - I'm not so much into having a bunch of versions of a figure, just the version I think looks the best (according to my personal sense of aesthetics of course).
Just couldn't help myself with these bastards...

Chinese New Year was pink...
Tax season sucks.
If you decide to part with the Dokugans, I'd be interested in the orange...

Yeah, it's Orange w/gold/black spray and glitter in the vinyl. The inside is filled crazy silver streamers - pics don't do either of these justice. If you had them in front of you, you'd be having the same problem I am right now...

The NY Dokugan was orange w/ glitter; the CNY Dokugan was pink w/ glitter. Btw, KT still has the second one if anyone needs it...

I would keep which ever ones are the harder ones to track down figuring that if down the line you'd like them back in your collection the cost of buying them again won't sting as much.

Thanks for clearing that up...one point for the GID Frozen Dokugan is it looks great right next to this little bastard:

As a newbie BLObPUS collector I admire your Dokugan collection and think it'd be ideal if you could keep both. Anyway I'd keep the orange because it matches the S7 editions of other blobpus figures and I'm a fan of translucent vinyl. I've never seen the other before though. Alternately I'd suggest keeping the non-clear Obake Ghost because the other one shows off the figure so much better. Keep it all if you can.

That is the one lucky bag blob that I didn't get...I think there were one or two on YJA though when they dropped.

There were four different lucky bag Blobpus. (I think) They are the first four pictured in my case. I always thought the pink clear/black painted (foil insides) was the rare of the four.

Yeah I think that pink/black/foil number (which does rule) is supposedly the "lucky" one. But the glitter has ended up being pretty rare it seems.
