 got my first secret base figure and i'm still not feeling the line really.
the figure is the Artoyz Obake. I like the colors... I like the see-thru ghost sheet... I guess it's just that it doesnt really fit with anything else I have
Not sure about the material of the figure underneath... it seems like compressed foam or something. are all the figures like that?
Are the Obakes considered fight figures?
I have a couple Gargamel fight figures (gargamess and bullmask - i dig the wrestling themes) that I like a lot... so if i buy anymore secret base stuff, it will be the grappler looking sculpts.
no real motive with this post other than a mini personal review, so flame on i guess

you shoulda went with a skullbee for your first SB piece. That obake is
the worst version EVER! The body under the sheet is the exact same figure
as the skullbrain minus the brain. Yup.

I kinda agree about the Obakes . . . I'm sure I'll start at some point but it's the only sculpt currently not representing in my cabinet . . . dunno why, just never really had the same appeal as all the others!
The new Cola Skullbrain mighta been a better place to kick-off your Base collection.

Oh and he is not the worst Obake out there.

i havent really been into the SB line which is why i don't own anymore, but like bwana's hedoran's that i didn't really feel at first, after i owned one and had it in my hands i appreciated it
i don't really care for any insect-themed toys, but skulls and ghosts i can do
i'll have to research more and find some cool skulls or ghosts that have open hands instead of boxing gloves

From photos I liked the Obake the best. It was the first SB figure I picked up, and once I got it I too was a bit disappointed. But eventually I found the SB sculpt for me - the Skullbrain! Now it's the only SB I'll buy.
I dunno what it is about the Obake - it's quite photogenic, but in hand it's missing something.

The Obake has grown on me, but I don't really like colours they seem to pick.
I think that the mummys rock!
And I have a feeling that much to my bank account's dismay, the Skullwings are growing on me as well.

Although as much as I love the Pirate I have real difficulty classing (or even displaying) it with all the other SB scupts . . . . it's just too 'unsymetric' and fugly . . . in fact, it's in it's own league of fugly!

Great topic. I only have a handfull myself but I like
#1 Skullbrain
#2 Damaged Brain (Mummy)
#3 Skullwing
#4 Skullpirate
#5 Ghost fighter
#6 Frankenghost
In that order. The rest I'm not feelin but then again that might change if I get the right colorway right in my hands.
