I know the problems everyone has had with Old Balance in the past but I was wondering if anyone picked up the recent Skull Toys collab? Show of hands?

I bought them. Hopefully I get the full set.

There's just the mini, right? No 12" suit?

Right. Three different Doku-Rocks, limited to 20, 20, and 10.

Whew! I was gonna kick myself if there was a new suit released that I missed.

fuck me....

getting sloppy....thanks for the heads up....

mine showed up today.. got a no.1 & no. 2
Pink with & without pipecleaners. One my packages looked like an elephent had stepped on it though - but the li'l fleer is safe!

Mine got shipped out a couple of days ago. Hopefully i'll get the limited 10 version!!!

oh well if you didn't I expect a few to show up on ebay...

Don't need the super limited that badly. If i get lucky,GREAT. If i get any other version,GREAT.

These were blind picks, yes?

Yeah. Blind bagged!! And only 50 made for the Old Balance exclusive.
*Limited Flash Red & Blue 10pcs,
*Silver 20pcs
*Empty Special 20pcs

Hey datadub,can you scan the flyer? I would like to take a look at it.

Was it one of the Hong Kong "Post Boxes". I've received several in the mail, and EVERY one looks like it was stepped on. Miserable quality.

Really? Miserable? Too bad because I was pretty stoked on getting one of these. Got any photo's you can please put up(including the flyer).

Thanks.

I didn't get one of these Old Balance figures.

I was referring to previous shipments of other items from Hong Kong using the "Post Boxes" which, I guess, are sold by post offices there. Sure they're light and save the shipper a ton on those costs, but they're about as solidly built as a milk carton.

I don't think these are even sold out yet.

On Sunday the web soite had these at sold out. Now they are up again at $40 ppd to the USA. Check it out;

How does US$ [ Sold Out ] mean they're back? They were sold out pretty quickly.

so basically they are all the same figure - 20 are filled with silver tinsel, 10 with red & blue and 20 are empty.. I will put the empty one into my trade bucket.

nice figs! terrible boxes!

FULL SET!

Man, I knew today was going to be a good day when I opened up the box and found out that I had all three different versions. Sweet stuff. At first, when looking at the preview pictures, I honestly wasn't too impressed by the colors (black and pink are a cool combo, I just didn't feel it so much, for some reason), but I have to say that these are some of my favorite Doku-Rocks. I don't know if it's the pipecleaner gimmick or what, they are just killer.

I got 2 of the 3 which I need to pick up at the OB shop. Can't wait! Hope I have some time this week.
