If you know me, you know I'm a fan of Vinyl Junkies, Skull Vikings. A board member turned me on to one I missed (thanks Bubblegun) It's sitting in NY waiting to clear customs now .

Yeah is a beauty- I dont have any of these guys- but the colours on this one make me wanna invest- I have no dough though.

Beautiful colurs!

Great colors indeed.
Hope to see glow pics when you get him.

Wait, I thought these were out...like...a while ago.

Or am I thinking of a different run?

Translucent purple with gid vinyl swirled in? Painted by Blobpus?

Ah, thanks! For some reason, I just assumed this thread was referring to an upcoming run!

This thread inspired me to take some pics of the Skull Viking I recently got. Love this fucking thing...but it DOES look fairly different from the one you have pictured. Weird. Anyway, it's translucent vinyl with gid swirled in....and the glow power is considerable.





I gotta say...I'm very impressed with this toy. I've had the regular glowie for the longest time (straight gid vinyl with blue spray on one side...and orange on the other...I just saw one for sale here the other day). The regular one is okay, but it just does NOT do the sculpt justice.

When I first saw the sculpt online, I just didn't appeal to me. The fight figure proportions are a bit too SD-ish and cartoony. I picked up the regular gid one anyway because I thought the clear helmet was kinda cool. When I saw the one above in person, however, I went nuts.

The overall dark look really brings out the brilliance of the sculpt (certainly more so than the gid, as gid vinyl tends to lack visual contrast...so sculpt details get lost easily). If you look at this figure from *any* angle, it looks killer.
