whoa, that would be pretty cool.....

That would be the shit.
It was a thing of beauty. A production piece would be a must have.

Fucking love the new RI!

Hope it goes into production and they pad-print the stippling.

so the forearm tattoos are a little someting extra that usugrow did for people at sdcc?
or are they productionaly already there

Extra. Drawn on by Usugrow after they were purchased.

I asked about that and he said it might be too difficult. But if they pull it off......whoa!

i believe this is correct.
but there may also be surprises if one gets lucky.
i guess "sdcc" starts in august for japan.

That could be... in the past, there have been slight differences in split releases. The Blood Skullpirate released in Japan came with a t-shirt, whereas the North American release did not.

impressive, the mailer already reached stateside?!

Pretty impressive....everyone is behaving.....haven't seen one on ebay yet.

but i believe andy is also correct.
confusing?

there are indeed two versions of the ocean blue rebels with different prints.

Well, I don't know about that... the Rebel Ink in that image is identical to the SDCC release... so what "print" are you saying is different?

If you know something, please just say it... no need to create any confusion or unwarranted hype. After a while it just gets to be really annoying with people being coy.

i agree...this pic is the same. i'm gonna say the only difference is they won't be signed.

Im not sure but is the hand drawn "tattoo on the arm" the same character as the "S" on the belly? I did notice there is a dot below the character on the arm and not on the figure. I do see the slight differences but I wasnt sure if that was clean printing compared to sharpie signing.

Also a lil tid-bit, when I was purchasing the RB the one I got originally had 2 right arms. I told Jon and he was like "wtf, it does have 2 righties" and he swapted it out. So unless they changed it I believe there is one less than whatever the production run is unless they repair/replace the arm.

i was at pus when jon showed it to him...he said "should we sell it as the super rare sdcc chase?"

You know, that thought crossed my mind when I realized but, I figured I would rather have a anatomically correct figure just in case.

My buddy actually picked up the super rare SDCC chase.
He didn't want to be empty handed after waiting 4 hours in line.
Will try to get pics from him.

a FHP Rebel Ink would be so awesome (even though it doesn't really reflect his artwork) whether or not they're able to get the stipple.

pleeeaaase don't let there be a super rare rebel ink chase (although if it's just a two right arms, i can live without that)

You say that now.

there definitely is one with two of the same arms...i saw it with my own eyes.

I held it with my own hands for about 5-10 minutes before realizing the arms were both righties. Showed Jon and he was like wtf and traded it out. Either way Im just stoked to have the figure with or without appendages.

Carl needs to show pics of the one he got signed by Usugrow. Usugrow busted out the fine tipped silver pen and wrote a bunch of stuff down each arm.
