Can't wait to see it Rich!! But first I have to escape this airport lol

Awesome news Rich! Can't wait to see that behemoth in a couple of days!

Did anyone see the beast at the show?

Pre orders start Nov 1st, $150 + s&h: unpaintrd GID with "infused gold pearl"

Not sure GID will be my first choice here, but holy fuck am I stoked to see what else appears down the road.

Both blank and GID are two things that I personally don't go for, but I'm sure a lot of others will love this set and Krawluss will look like a god damned beacon in the night. I'll just have to wait for the one.

Nice to see that there's release plans already, I kind of figured the wait would be much longer.

GID all the way for me

I dont own an ollie and I really like this guy. I go more for sculpts, so this is a perfect set without having to drop tons of money for a previous release. I like it.

This... is... awesome.

A great collaboration and execution.



Indeed. It's nice to keep things under wraps up until the last minute to not keep the fans itching for too long, IMO.

Looks like there is some confusion.

Pre orders open 11/1/12 but its going to take a good 6 months before they ship out. At this point all that is done is the proto. I know this seems like a long time, but it will go by fast from experience.

In part the pre orders help fund this project. It's a huge undertaking, bigger than anything I've done before. So we had to go the pre order route.

This weekend I will get all details out prices and packages. But my goal is to make sure the people who pre order are happy and well taken care of.

Here's the pricing info from the flier that Rich had at NYCC...

"This is a pre order release andmay possible take between 6-8 months from pre order date to receive your order."

Rich, is that one of your required typos?

$275 for a BATTLE SET?!?!?! That is a STEAL! That HAS to be a typo! Hot damn!

I'm having a hard time imagining this. Does the effect look kind of like this?

It must be weeks, not months, unless Rich is taking lessons from Martin.

WIll it go live at midnight or noon of the first?

Im half a world away, so I'd like to allocate my time accordingly. hahaha.

Im really excited, now.

Nope, it's months. Look at Rich's post just above that picture.

Its months, unless they somehow figured out a way to make wax cast, molds and then pull vinyl in weeks ??

No worries it will be open for a few weeks or until we hit the number of pre orders we can handle in a timely manor .

No, that's lame, or metal flake.

Pearl looks like a dusting, but infused in the vinyl. It gathers in the crevices and high points. It's very subtle and very nice.

You know what I meant, come on I had to create this while prepping for the con, TAG, and working a full time job. Nit picking my grammar is pointless, I always make mistakes no matter how hard I try. Give me a break man :/

I'm really looking forward to the paint apps. I already have a few planned !

Haha we know Rich! Just busting your chops!

Guys we kept the price as low as possible to hopefully make you all happy. This is going to be a very large vinyl, 13.5 by almost 10 inches, my largest toy yet. If you own an Ollie you will know how large this is. Price wise this is going to help mold cost and pay for vinyl which leaves no profit. We just want to get it made and out to the collector as cheap as possible.

As for battle sets, since the Ollie is already made, those will be pulled and go out well before the set is complete if the buyer shall chose.


I really love this toy, I as well as skinner put a lot of thought into it.

As well this was supposed to be made by TAG, but we decided to go the independent route, thus sparking the pre order. We don't have the funds TAG has to offer, but it does allow for more freedom and final price and release schedule. In the end we preferred that the collectors benifit.
