 Re: skinner x shikaruna x lulubell
Is there a picture of all the unpainted colors? There seem to be a lot and the painted pic confirms that they pulled lots of different color vinyl. Really regretting not taking the risk/surprise on this 1.

You should be careful rich, my fragile brain, can't handle much more of the color explosions you create.

 Re: skinner x shikaruna x lulubell
Just got my Ultras Bog and while I do like i and the paint work is nice, I would much prefer a different color scheme. I'm not super keen on the yellows here. I might be willing to trade if anyone is interested.

 Re: skinner x shikaruna x lulubell
I'm sorry, if Luke painted these I mean no disrespect, but you guys that pre ordered, well shouldn't have... The Ultrus that was for sale from Skinner at the Con was nothing short of Amazing, and these just feel rushed... I think if you guys were putting out 200 dollars you should have gotten a 1-off painted by skinner... That was kind of the point of buying Skinner's toy right?
Edit: I do love the sculpt, and the ones painted by Skinner were as I said amazing...

 Re: skinner x shikaruna x lulubell
Luke didn't paint these. These are all one offs painted by Siccaluna and I completely agree with you. Siccalunas other figures in the past were masterfully painted using amazing color schemes. These pale in comparison to those figures and the hand paints done by Skinner at SDCC. I honestly have only seen one or two that I really like from this set of hand paints and even those are just OK. When I saw the Skinner Ollies the first thing I thought was, damn, the paint apps used on those would have been picture perfect on the Ultrus Bogs. Sadly, I doubt that we will ever see any like that or if we do they will be next to impossible to get a hold of. I am curious to see how the other releases turn out but I really am not impressed by these one of a kinds and for the type of money people (including myself) needed to put up for these should have gotten something super special.
I am sure I'm not the only one who feels this way either.

 Re: skinner x shikaruna x lulubell
I like most of them. They are mostly based on classic kaiju spray designs so I guess if you wanted something more "Skinnerish" this isn't that BUT they work mostly to me. There are a few that I don't think "fit" but otherwise I like most of them, I didn't even pre-order one! Siccaluna sculpted these so to me they're just as much his toy as Skinners, they both played major parts. One the pre-conceived idea the other the post turned into reality. So to get an HP by the sculptor who also is a great painter is just as nice, and it was announced that Siccaluna would be the 1-off painter before money was laid down.
I actually don't like a lit of Siccaluna past paints, though done with amazing skill, they're not my thing. Too rigid, too "look this is venom!" you know? I prefer the free sprayed classic looks these got.
Wizeguy, your's is awesome! Sorry you're not into it. I like jcat's a lot too, black and purple skulls, a little Walderesque but not totally.

 Re: skinner x shikaruna x lulubell

 Re: skinner x shikaruna x lulubell
Totally different styles and both are amazing.
I would love to own skinners , but since my collection is all free spray the siccaluna would fit better.

Oblivion Most Black (package 3) - $200 Unpainted Ultrus Bog + Siccaluna hand painted one-off, plus exclusive t-shirt vs. Skinner HP= $300 If I were to choose though... I pay more money for what I like more. I regret not rolling the dice for package 3.
