 Re: Underrated Secret base toys
I'm chiming in even though I only have 22 Base figures. Dr. Mortality looks great in my collection. (maybe I am biased, the guy tattoos me) I think the tiffany sucks. I will take your word for it on the coke, seems pretty sucky though. I think all the pumpkins are underrated. If I only had pumpkins I would be satisfied. You are right, the black and white rubbed Pus is bad ass. Obake dogs don't even look like a base toy to me. They look like clay molds in someones oven. and the most underrated of all... the 1/1 skulls. ( do they even count?) Those glow spray kaiju brains set of three look simple in the photos and badd asss in your collection.

 Re: Underrated Secret base toys
Mantis sculpt is pretty underrated...but I guess if you didn't grow up watching Mazinger Z then the reference is not seen. I don't think the Skullwings are underrated at all. I agree with Carl. The Convex figures are not too bad. I wouldn't mind having the clear green Astro Mu along side my solid colored one (I added a little burn on the end of the weapon  ). I want that Convex guy with the skull head. They just don't stand too well

 Re: Underrated Secret base toys
After the Base crash of 2007 I think most Base is underrated these days . . . apart from a few 'landmark' pieces most can be picked up for well under retail! Mainly digging the fight figures but after seeing BIDC's Obake Dog conga line I can almost see the attraction in 'em! After the success of the OG Obake, the Obake 2 doesn't seem to have taken off as well as it could've . . . hopefully there's more in the works. There'll always be plenty of love for the Skullwings . . . a winged skull on a fight body . . . what's not to like!

 Re: Underrated Secret base toys
Its hard for me to believe that the Tiffany Brain is underrated and not loved my many; it was my first SB figure ever!

 Re: Underrated Secret base toys
Obake Dog and Zipface are #1 and 2, respectively, for me.
I wish there were more (and that I owned the ones I am missing!).

 Re: Underrated Secret base toys
These orange glows are really cool. If I wasn't watching the pennies i'd be all over that bee.
Bees are great! I'm just not so keen on the half and half as well as some of the ridiculous pink & green combos.

 Re: Underrated Secret base toys
Another sadly underrated toy - the clot Pirate, I love this guy! The matte black works so well with the weathered gold on his face and the distressed bandages. Brilliant!

 Re: Underrated Secret base toys
Not an underrated SB toy . . . but I kinda miss the S7 pinstripe detailing that's on the Ghostfighters shorts . . . damn that was a classy touch!

 Re: Underrated Secret base toys
This isn't a toy, but I think it's underrated. I love drinking glasses and what better than ones with SB figures on them?
