Re: Cronic Collections
It always cool for me to find this subject up here akum6n wrote: Not sure where this one is from. The vinyl is more of a dull steel blue, not the same color as the 2008 LB Mavs. It was bagged with the standard Mav header, but printed in blue. Maybe a Mix-Box item? I think this Mav is one-off and sold @ WF in 2009. If you pick up this Mav at Mandarake and there is the sticker on header, I'm sure it is. Here is my Mav I bought there.

Re: Cronic Collections
Thanks kaz! Yes, same header- I thought the sticker was part of the print at first.

Re: Cronic Collections
What happened to the Cronic line? Cool and high one day, hordes of people selling the next. I always liked the dorome (sp?) the best. Had to sell most of 'em to go back to school. Then just the other day I scored a nice lulubell pink painted production piece for 5 bucks. Sheesh, shipping cost more. This, to me, was a very cool line of toys with awesome colors and paints. Hope the artist comes back out of the woods!

Re: Cronic Collections
It was a show release from a few years ago. This one was really tough to track down, so I'm guessing he put out around 5-6 of them.

Re: Cronic Collections
I find it a little amazing that we're still seeing relatively unknown Cronic figures popping up so far after his active period.
@max- I love that clear blue/green Zyurai on the right. Cronic really understands color and composition, perhaps more so than any other toy company.
@andy- Can't wait to see more on that set. The stuff of legends!

Re: Cronic Collections
Do you know if those white ones with the orange striping were done with an airbrush or striperbrush?

Re: Cronic Collections
These are two one-offs by Cronic from 2006. Based on the header, they were lottery prizes and available only to regular customers (from his mail order site?). The green one is named "緑王獣" (Ryokuoujuu / Greenery King Beast) and the blue one "海王獣" (Kaioujuu / Sea King Beast), so it seems like they were intended as a set. The marbled handpaint style with airbrushed/brushpainted details looks really good on these, especially the arrangement of colors in the marbling. There's one weird thing that I can't figure out- the header is marked as a '3rd anniversary commemoration', but Cronic was only around from 2005, no?

Re: Cronic Collections
argh, its you! i thought its jcat or u as there are not many people after zyurais these days these are great buys especially at those prices. anyway, i am nearly sure these are not 06's marbled pieces. u can tell from the sprayed fist & chest, the early marbled are marbled all over. i have a few marbled Zs in this combination of marbled & spray and they were mostly around 08 & 09 before cronic vanished.
