 CLEAR
Seeing the below picture made me think of a question. I bought a clear one of these guys today. I thought he would Glow, but he doesn't. So I guess there was a regular Clear release?????

It barely glows, but you can see it in a completely dark room. You have to have a black light to get it looking like that picture.

I had the exact same issue with the guy, it take some work to get him to glow, black light after about 30 seconds does the trick, but a full spectrum light/natural light works a lot better. It does suck that when I shut all the lights off in the room he just disappears

Actually that picture used regular lamps to charge up the glow, but the camera was set to have a long exposure time.
The glow on this one is weaker than the typical GID material. I wonder how it stacks up to the clear GID mini-Zags.

Its a sprectum color thing, but any blue based glow paint color is weak, I noticed this on some glow paints I got for my airbrush and the blue is by far the weakest, even in a full bottle.

The X-Ray Rules...it is weaker...but clear!
Once charged by either...normal or Black light (works better) ...mine has a killer "see-thru" spooky glow...but all lights have to be off and even the glow from other Opaque GID's will drown the clear GID out
A Black Light will drown out the X-ray..it has to be off .....vs. opaque GID which as we know glows like crazy with a black-light on
On its own and charged in a dark/black room,nowhere near another GID it has a Unique blue clear glow...LOVE IT!!!

ok i tried a black light on this guy and got crappy results
but this morning i had a flourescent light shinging on the desk he was on, then when i turned off the light to leave i noticed him glowing like crazy
i think the flourescent lights are best.

Really?
Is that why some carnival haunted houses have warnings not to ride it too frequently?

I love this Galtan. I had him charging with his vinyl friends one evening by a reading lamp. went to bed. like 6 hours later, I got up in the middle of the night and happen to notice that this dude was still glowing strong. it's not the green GID vinyl, but it kicks ass. great figure.
