The Hone borg and JingerR just aren't as popular as the other sculpts so they always sell slow. Not sure why the hone borg isn't popular I guess I don't mind though since I've been able to get the three that I wanted.
This particular color is awesome. The green and pink on black are a really nice combo.
Don't sleep on the Hone borg.

Hone Borg rules. I like all other new figures, but Hone Borg is the one that (to me) fits in nicely with the classic sculpts. I can put him up with Mutant Head, Mutant Evil, and Chaos and he just works. I still like the original grey w/ blue eyes best.
I don't really like darker colorways in general, but I'm getting the impression that Hone Borg can do whatever the damn hell he pleases and pull it off. I've really liked everything so far that I've been lucky enough to get, but I'm also looking forward to brighter things.

Meh, missed out on the minis again. Oh well, least I was able to pick up the Yellow Jinja-R. Dig the sculpt a lot, and this colorway is the best IMO.

Hone Borg to me is the first sculpt that is truest to Mori's designs.
In some ways I think it is the first piece that 101% real x head.

I have seen Mori's design sketches for his characters and the resulting sculpts.
Borg and Barbariman are the first sculpts that have really captured the essence of his original designs.

The jinja is cool. I got the hone borg but am curious why people keep saying the fig is underrated? Is that based on the fact that it doesn't get sold out?
I think it's a great sculpt and look forward to see what the new sprays will be on it. I think it's only going to get better.

Interesting!
I knew my love for the Barbariman wasn't misplaced!

redchicken,bigstar, datadub, im feelin yous.
The barbariman was my first rxh, nad then the honeborg. I know the others are great and I can see why they are popular. But those 2 sculpts were the ones that actually moved me to buy my first rxh pieces.

I'm guessing all you guys already know this, and I'm just out of the loop, but does Morri sculpt his figures himself, or just design them? If Morri is the sculptor my love for RXH will double.

I still can't believe the pink eye hone borg is still up at s7. It's awesome in person. If you don't have one... and people are curious about it..I'd definitely start with this one.

 Re: 6 new rxh figures are up
Noticed the Jinja is gone from the store site as well. Glad I picked one up before it was too late.

 Re: 6 new rxh figures are up
Got my yellow Jinger today. I have to say after finally seeing and holding a Jinger R I think this fig is totally underrated compared to the OG4. Its easier to get a hold of (which is a +) but its also just a sweet sculpt and the yellow paint app is great. And also the paint Black and Red on the spine is great to bad they dont include pics of that. Really pleased with this pickup
