Post Emerald Blood Dokugan
Image

...just went up for Pre-Order at S7. I love it. But I can't help feeling like this price is super high. I sort of expect the higher prices on the DX figures...but can anybody confirm that this is sorta steep for a regular-issue Dokugan?

Any ideas as to why the hike, if in fact there is one?

Hmmm ...

I wonder if S7 just posted the wrong pic ...

That pre-order pic looks an awful lot like the recent opaque-green Dok with purple paint, and a $150 price tag generally does mean a DX.

I PMed Josh, but if someone else at S7 sees this first, can y'all confirm one way or the other?

I ordered it either way--but will gladly accept discount/refund if the price DOES indeed need adjustment--but I can pretty much double-verify that it's different from the Day-Glow that was released at TT for SDCC...that's much more incredible hulk vs. this with a more black/green/red color scheme.

The DX price though...yeah.

And shit, while we're asking S7: when should we expect the Emerald Blood DX's to come in? I've never preordered anything before, so I'm not sure how it works...do we just get an email?

Yep, I thought S7 might have mistakenly used a pic of the SDCC one below, but apparently not, this new one is two-tone.

So, this means four of the last five Dokugans are green 'uns - SDCC, Emerald DX, one of the TokyoCube GID pair, and now this one.

Enough with the green awreddy, Blobpus!

Josh answered me : "i do not have any additional photos of this piece, as we do not have them in-hand yet. all i know is that each piece in the run will vary slightly, as the process involves mixing different colors of vinyl."

It looks like marbled green and black vinyl, similar to the insert for the recent DXes.

I would guess the higher price comes w/ the mixed vinyl effect. Im trying to gauge from the pic, if the green and black are in fact marbled it would really trip my trigger. I would like to see more figures in this style.
