I asked them and they told me that they were blind bagged skullmen not bagmen. I didn't even know those were released.

Don't know why I bother trying to order from TT. Every time someone drops the bomb, I can NEVER get through. The main page loads and shows me everything I can't have.

Did the chrome improve on this release since the Silver Barbarian's 'issues'?

I ask b/c Span of Sunset's description claims, "Chrome Plate process is very delicate and each figure appears to be uneven which makes every single one unique." Raised my eybrow.

The Frankenchrome had a little card in the bag that says " WARNING The chrome process used to make this toy is very fragile. Moving arms or heads may allow the chrome to chip or break. Any imperfections in the chrome are indicative of the nature or the process and are to be expected. Please handle with care."

I just picked up the Skull Bee Silver All Starz. It has a very different feel to it because of the chrome finish. The major problem with chrome finishes on soft vinyl is that it really is pretty fragile so if the figure gets squished somehow (like carrying it in your bag as you walk home...dumb), it WILL crack and you'll find that the chrome may have a chance to peel off if you're not careful (stop picking at it!!). I kinda like it when it does have some light crackling. It gives it a bit of a rustic feel to the figure. I'm very happy with my purchase, and it's my first Skull Bee

I know that some people were worried about quality. My Damage Brain is top notch. There is one small spot where the chrome driped into the arm pit of the brain and I very gently broke it and now both arms move. Honestly the spot is so hard to see I'm not worried at all. Anyone who is scared about quality, fear not!

So there's a Bee, SBrain, DBrain, Mantis to make the set? Frank is not really part of the set but I'll count him in as well since he has the same finish.
Total = 5.....are there others?
