 Re: $572.40 shipped...
What is the deal with the black with gold spray and black with silver spray heads? Are those new releases as well?

 Re: $572.40 shipped...
I thought they were old releases but the gold looks like it might be a re-paint of the older style.

 Re: $572.40 shipped...
the new head sculpt is interesting. I like the blue/red eyes version & the copper version. One trend, though, in the new sculpts that I don't really like is the "mix-n-match" approach. Whereas OG4 and second-generation characters each had an iconic & individual quality, these guys seem to rely on a set of repeating design elements (in this case, mini-head mohawk, akro eyes, flyder mouth). I hope this trend doesn't continue for long...I'm never one to say "too busy" with regards to colors but with sculpts it might become a problem.
I'd love to see a few more abstract sculpts (like Jinga and Gatchigon).

 Re: $572.40 shipped...
^ screw if people complain..! I'd love to see the MH11 and ME-07(?) set re-released in blue glow, myself. or the ME-01 on clear yellow vinyl. I appreciate the rare redux every now and again.
I'd love to see more Jinja R colorways this year in some sweet-ass color vinyl we haven't seen yet. we haven't had a new one since a year ago...? Has Mori given up on the Jinja R 6"?

I had the opportunity to see one in person and it is a great figure. if it's released on a different vinyl color, people can't complain. it's an entirely different figure IMO. dunno about blue glow with these. the right paint would need to be on a blue glow evil or i think it would look really odd. not saying it's a bad idea, it would have to be done the right way

 Re: $572.40 shipped...
New sculpt is pretty neat. I love how the arms are longer.
To this day I only own one single Mutant Head, and I could see myself picking up at least one of these eventually.

 Re: $572.40 shipped...
i like the new mutant head sculpt alot but the masking on it really doesn't gel, something so brutal needs a rough colorway not quite as dull as the rubs but the masks are to masked if ya get what im saying. sculpt is the best in a long while though...pretty fucking metal
