On the fence... But probably pick this up

Haha! Thanks for the shout Tony! It looks like I am going to be able to get one of these guys... I'm really liking it, the black and pink was nice but I had no idea until I saw the flesh colored one that the mask was so crazy. I love the pair or eyes on it and the teeth!! I can't wait to see it in person.

Via Amy:

"The Cure Brain Bug Boogie Man release date is being pushed back a week. New release date is February 15th at Noon. That gives you one more week so save your pennies!"

Am I the only one sat refreshing Lulubell?

is this necessary lol? it's an open run, unlimited order for 24 hrs

Not at all. Just because I'm quite drunk and if I don't do it now there's a good chance I'll miss it. Also, quite excited to get my first Boogie on release.

Lol, it's all good, you have nothing to fear. Even when you wake up from your hangover chances are it'll still be up

Hmm, this flesh Brain Bug Boogie may be my first Boogie...been trying to stay away from collecting these but shots of Cubensis' and Aldo's collections are incredible!

Ordered one. Although I really like the pink and black color combo- I agree with hellopike- the flesh vinyl really shows off the sculpt detail much better.

So pleased to pick this up, mainly because it's the first one since I've taken an interest in Boogies and I keep worrying that they'll stop and I'll be trying to track down older versions for eternity. Totally agree on the flesh vinyl: had no idea how crazy that head sculpt was until now.

The wife went ahead and ordered one for herself.

Went for it at the last minute, if this wasnt an open run i wouldve totally missed out. Psyched to have the sculpt in hand and check out all the details. Ive seen the black/pink unpainted up close but didnt get to handle or examine it.

When do you guys think they will be shipped out?

6 months?! Lol i have no idea, if they start pullin em now it shouldnt be long, right?

I've seen one bagged for sale on Mandarake already. Unless that's part of some sort of test-run? Can't be far away: the likes of Mishkaryo have theirs already.

they're made to order so they will take sometime longer plus customs will cause further delays, but completely worth the wait

I really can't believe how much it's being flipped for this quickly, especially considering the open run for the same figure.

How do they even have one to sell?? Thats weird, but i do like that header

Details were posted on Hiddy's blog so they may be available in-store from Secret Base.

I guess that makes sense? I just assumed it was more of an exclusive release through lulubell, not a big deal, but sucks we're stuck waiting

I don't think an open pre-order ever sucks dude

Oh! Im not at all bummed out about this release, just meant knowing that theyre out there already and we have to wait is a killer tease

I imagine Amy has to send the number/payment and so forth off to Cure... Cure pulls the flesh brain boogs and then sends them back to Lulubell who then sends them out...
Hoping it won't take as long as to get to us like the "do it yourself" NYCC Grody.

I think having an open run kills the exclusivity of the piece. I like toys that arent easy to track down. The fact that this was an open run for me ruined it. Not just for this figure, Im speaking about all open runs in general. They should call them every Tom Dick & Harry runs.

Had it been a run of 5 you would have been all over it? Seems like a silly concept.

Wish every Cure release was a 24 hour open run. Aftermarket Cure kills.
