I wonder if they will do the same thing as they did with the SDCC, 2 versions.

doubt it my friend...

i think RI is only now for special releases :/

Where did you hear this?? I was thinking the same thing.

They might have 2 versions.
The RI is THAT popular.

i just remember when the silver RI came out when i translated hiddy's blog it said something along the lines of the final RI colorway...

but then the clear orange came with the lucky bags, and now the black flocked at nycc... it made me think maybe only special releases? if its still open for more colors... i'm game with that

Lots more RI.
Don't worry about it.

Were the NYCC Rebels super limited? It didn't seem like a lot of people scored one (although I could be just out of the loop).

according to wtfunks they were eay to get ahold of...

the dude on kr forums twotwelve i guess got one, and is trying to trade for the jp blue + $... i dont know what all he's trying to get, but i let him know you were in search of one...

i also heard the first 3 sold were signed by usugrow... and they came in black bags, instead of clear like the rest... mine should be on its way to me today

umm all of them were in black bags, the first 3 ppl got a special header handwritten by usugrow, the first 4 also got a pink secret base towel, the regular header looks like this

The black vinyl on this version is incredible. It's seems like black chrome and is shiny like glass. The flocked parts give it an awesome contrast too. Usugrow hit a home run with this one. By far, the best RI yet.

I heard the new RI is plated.
Thus the price tag.

that's one bad ass header. any reason they were in black bags? (were there variants inside?)

mainly jealous of the pink towel...no way! get outta here! if anyone has a pink towel, hit me up!

i dink they did the packaging in black b/c of the name "premium black" rebel ink

I was wondering about that as well, unless it was just a theme thing.

oops... what he said.

Yes, thay are metal plated, its called "meki" or close to that. Think of the recent CCP Chrome Hedo or the Blobpus stuff awhile back. Same method.

the pink towel, along with the pink spray frankenbrain, were the only 2 things I got from Hiddy & Co. I wasn't able to get wither Usugrow...

the towel is pretty cool...

i wish i got a towel

Black bad ass!

this may explain the black bag, its bubblewrap material so maybe they did it black so it wouldnt look weird in a "clear"ish bubblewrap bag. i guess theyr in these to prevent cracking or something.

who got the hand lettered header card?

i cud tell u one of them are toy barroness (nicole)

Here's what the bag looks like.
Black bubble wrap.

nice touch using to bubble wrap to protect the flocking. hiddy actually seems to care alot about his fans satisfaction. atleast thats the vibe i got at the con

can you clean the flock if it gets dusty and if so how?

when black vest gets linty some looped taped does the trick, anyone know if that'd work on flocking?
