 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
I like the production light grey (Blue-green-yellow) version a lot, maybe more than the prototype which was a bit heavy on colors.
The unpainted dark grey is also really peculiar, you don't see this vinyl color very often.
I was just wondering why he gave him such a long tail. They are such a pain to put on display shelves...

Who knows, if a colorway comes along that really knocks my socks off I might jump for it, but the damn tail is really killing it for me. If a figure doesn't "need" a tail it shouldn't have one because they really do take up way too much space. I also agree on the comment regarding the smoke stacks going past the leg joint...shoulda stopped prior to the joint.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
shit, I'm digging both of these suckers. I'm gonna go with the charcoal painted version, but I like the colors on the other one too (grew on me). they look toxic and funky, but I think it works for a pollution monster like this.

Definitely think this piece could've been done without a tail and cut off smoke stacks.... Everyone's a critic though

King Smog is up for order now  I just got the Dark Gray version, although the colorful light gray version was tempting. 9800 yen

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
I took the plunge on the painted dark gray. i just love this sculpt too much, and the orange/silver sprays on the gray is actually quite unique. i'm looking forward to getting this.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
I cracked for the dark gray painted version. I agree, very unique color scheme, looks like pollution spewing from a factory. I would also like to see a clear/smoke vinyl painted like this.

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
I still cannot choose which one to get. I love the dark, but the light grey matches the oil shock better. Really thinking about buying a painted and unpainted, but $$$

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
I'll bet we see a GID version by end of the year, which would be pretty sick

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
i'm so happy with every piece in my elegab collection. the GID oil slick is just awesome, kinda hoping there will be a glow release for the King Smog sculpt. If not i need to make a decision quick!

 Re: New Elegab sculpts!
Hasn't every new figure gotten a glow version? Well definitely see one.
Grabbed my dark King Smog, and paypal hit me for fucking 79 yen a dollar. Sucks.
