 Re: New Secret Base
^It's interesting to see the different patterns. The pirate side of this guy, and the 2 Andy Skullwings from SF(brown and blue) have similar effects, which is a lot less "streaky" or "stripey" when compared to the other marbled pieces.

That is true about the Andy's also. There was a lot more color than GID in the ones (Blue / Brown) I got so maybe that's why they don't seem to have the same feel. Maybe it's a new GID or a different way of mixing them?

I think it's all luck of the draw- my Osaka Wing has a marbling similar to that new Siamese (which is nice btw) on its head as well, with more of a blended look than a marbling, where the purple and green almost blend into a brown. Looking at it, and from what I've seen in video of how sofubi is made, it looks like when the two colors where poured, maybe they both hit the same part of the mold (the top of the head) at nearly the same time and blended before either had anytime to set/cool/whatever which would make more of a marbled look. My Andy wing has a much smaller patch of this happening on the same spot, but maybe the pour was slightly staggered, or the two colors could have been pours into the mold at different points, or the mold could have been shook when it was poured... I'd love to see how exactly they pour marbled figures, because while its all left to chance, I wonder if you could influence the look by the way you pour the vinyl. Once the sun comes up I'll take some pictures of my wings to show you just what I mean.

 Re: New Secret Base
here's the pic of the top of my skullwings, where I'm assuming the vinyl hit first when it was poured, blending the two colors rather then marbling so much.

 Re: New Secret Base
personally i feel that its timely now to get past the marbled vinyls and move on. the marbling effect is nice but after more than a year now, it would be nice to see some old-fashioned hard-working paint schemes at some japanese paint shops. or some new & creative paint direction altogether. technically, marbled pieces are just random, unpainted pieces. i think they definitely have much more in them than to rely on mashed-up or putting marble treatment on every sculpt to keep things fresh.

I would agree with you, but really though after a year has it been done all that much? Secret Base seems to be the only company putting them out. Besides the Pirate releases, which to be fair there seemed to be a lot of, there was a handful of Skullwings (which were pretty limited I'd say), some Painted Marbled Bagmen (pink/black, orange/black, blue/white, GID/Black), an Obake release (gid/black sheet) and some Obake Dogs. And only the Skullwings and Obake Dogs were lacking paint (not counting tampo prints) Personally I'd love to see a regular release of unpainted marbled versions of the other SB figures blind bagged. Random figures on random colored vinyl. After that I'd be ok if SB laid off the marble. But if they stopped doing marbled pours without doing at least a Skullbrain and Skullbee I'd be disappointed.

 Re: New Secret Base
Got my fingers crossed for this one! Scapegoat wrote: Sorry that I'm very late to post on here, but we had to cancel all of the orders for the Halloween Skullman and SkullBxBxB that came via SxWxW (if you got them via any other channel, I think you are fine). As per usual, the band was not willing to sell figures from Shocker Japan through SxWxW... however, the good news is that we will have some (not many) of the Skullman and SkullBxBxB for sale on October 31st (they will actually go on sale at midnight on October 30th, EST). Expect many cancellations though, as we only have a handful to go around... and I know there will likely be many of you trying to score these. Orders will be limited to one of each figure. Also note that no splatter versions are left, so we won't have those. If you have any questions, please post them here or PM me.

Thanks for the info, Scapegoat! This will be my first time scoring a whole set (minus the bloody variants) on the first go. My wallet is SMOKING right now, though. Oof!
