other than that, im not sure what purpose they serve. This should make it kind of obvious.  It is such a rad little toy, the original and the sb one, you need one to sit by your long neck ooze it, which i also love

 Re: New Secret Base
Check out KK's coverage. It was actually US before it was bootlegged in Japan. Very cool background story.

 Re: New Secret Base
An unusual suspect! http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f118724296I was thinking maybe the Yellow/Glitter Bee from previous Lucky Bags, but he looks Clear/Glitter to me, almost like the Obake Dog I know the header on this auction is from an early release Bee.  [/quote]

 Re: New Secret Base
Definitely looks clear. What does the header say?

 Re: New Secret Base
According to the auction listing, purchasers of a certain Skull Bee at the shop last winter were entered into a lottery to win this Bee. There were a few pieces given out this way.
Can't quite make out the kanji on the header. '(Kanji) Ningyou Skull Bee [(kanji) Original]' is all I can read.

 Re: New Secret Base
Okay, I'm home now and as I said this header is from a previous release. Not this Glitter Bee. This is from a painted Gray version. I know Hiddy has done this in the past with FC pieces where he put old headers on different figures:   case in point, this header if from a Black split Bee:

Sure sounds/looks like a lottery release using a recycled header . . . last years Black Ball event maybe?

 Re: New Secret Base
I've seen that clear glitter bee before on YJA, but it was loose and not up for long.

 Re: New Secret Base
Did anyone else manage to get the GID Rebel Ink yesterday. I missed out when it was released on Christmas day but a few went in the store yesterday for about 2 hours and then it was sold out again. Just got my invoice through this morning - Result!

Thanks, I was thinking it was something like that, or one of the old stamp card figures.

 Re: New Secret Base
Here is mine, I never saw these in stores, I got him in the mid 80's as a prize at a carnival. Was shocked when I saw the Secret Base piece. I'd really like to see a side by side comparison.
