 Re: New Dream Rocket & Max Toy discussion
Sad I missed Flytrap. That's some wonderful paint on a nifty sculpt.
I need a Rider, or other Super Sentai hero to fight him though.

Dream Rocket tends to use less clear coat (which I believe produces the glossy finish) than other companies on average. I went back and looked at my collection and I think on a whole what I am reacting to is the lack of metallic paint. This guy seems to be the only figure I own so far without any metallic sprays. Mystery solved! I also need to get my hands on a cobra man. Shouldn't have slept on that second colorway. So good.

 Re: New Dream Rocket & Max Toy discussion
Wow, I can't believe Kyuuketsu Koumori (Vampire Bat) Ningen is already done! DR is a machine.
Cobra Ningen looks great as well... the paint scheme choices have been top-notch with that figure.

 Re: New Dream Rocket & Max Toy discussion
Loving the orange tones on Cobra Man. And I really need to add the new bat sculpt to my set. Hope Mark offers it up on his site.

 Re: New Dream Rocket & Max Toy discussion
I would contact Max Toy. They have done preorders for some of the other kaijin figures. His blog said advance sales at Design Festa, so I suspect DR is going to do a similar/identical mail-order run.

 Re: New Dream Rocket & Max Toy discussion
So happy I was able to sneak in and score this colorway of Cobra Ningen. I love how the purple/pink of the mouth(s) stand out, and the scales on the back of the figure look more like a touch of realistic snake to go with the overall sculpt. Stoked !

I checked back after I ordered, and it was up for another 10 min. or so...so happy to get one, even if it is eating into the SDCC budget

LuLubell had the Cobra Ningen ( ...at the very least, cause I got one...) and i'm not sure if they had the Vampire Bat ( sounds like it ) or the Fly Trap dude for a short time on their site for pre-order yesterday...

They had the Bat. The new Fly Trap was not for sale yet, according to the sign at the table.

 Re: New Dream Rocket & Max Toy discussion
Kicking myself for missing the Cobraman release at Lulu but I snagged Devil Bat from Mark. I liked the green color way Lulu had up first, but I am just as happy snagging the purple version. I love this new set of figures because they feel like Super Sentai villains. Regardless, the DR stuff and the Max Toy releases all dovetail really nicely and mix well on a shelf. Looking forward to San Diego to see what Mark has up his sleeve. Eyezon feels like it is just a few days away fro pre-order so I feel like I need to pace myself.

 Re: New Dream Rocket & Max Toy discussion
Not sure about you guys, but i think this version of the Flytrap is way better than the OG one

It might be, lovely colors, but I'm a sucker for the OG's bright green.

 Re: New Dream Rocket & Max Toy discussion
It's definitely nice but I don't have to have it like I did the first version. The body colors feel out of place next to the head, arms and legs colors.

 Re: New Dream Rocket & Max Toy discussion
The first version, as first versions sometimes are, was more "literal." Unified color scheme, suggestion of relationship to actual Venus fly traps (and trapped flies) in real life. The newer release looks more like the wild creativity of master kaiju sculpter-painter Yajima-san to me.
