Mine arrived today, on a rare day I was here to pick up the mail.

As is often the case even nicer in person. The body is matt black, and the head and arms are shiny black vinyl lightly infused with red glitter.

Was it established there is a chase version? It arrived in a black opaque bag...so I'm wondering?

Yeah the chase has red tears coming down its face.

the contrast between the glossy and matte vinyl is really good. And the matte reminds me of old BxH style, but don't touch! that shit marks up soo easy..

Yea matte can be a pain, scuffs or scratches easily sometimes even through the bag... :/

this new rebel is pretty sweet ! clear blacl vs black glitters

Awesome!

SB is just killing with these releases, cant wait to get that usugrow set

Not sure if I emailed them if there were even enough to go around for the US, but missed this one. Hey did anyone see this before the pic went down? Looks sick, I just can't tell what is was, lame' or glitter, or something else? Hmmm...



1/1 Earth Skull

The picture is still up, if you just click the sold out picture on their site it still opens up with the original pic

That dark green with gold glitter(?) looks fantastic! Hope to see more toys with it as I don't collect the skulls

I thought there was some marbling to this one as well? But I can't see any in the picture

The gradient on that or the lighting, whichever, just makes that one Pop for me. Dammit. Thanks man! I never knew abt the pic thing...lol.

Anyone want to trade their regular mask for my bloody Tear of God chase version.

Never been a fan of splatter and this is no exception.

Drop me a PM!

Damn! Nice trade deal

they where around long enough to come to US i got one its a marbled olive green and dark green and little bit of the color of the last BBB release with silver and gold flake.

here is a bad picture of mine up close ig filter messed up the color

Thanks Tom for posting that. I did find another pic in the trade bait. Here:

@ Andy, I don't like splatter either. Especially on that one. SO yeah, trade for what you want man-S'what I say being that I have to look at my toys the most. I'd rather enjoy looking at the fucking things than not...rare or not.

(Okay, I know, I'm new-Please be easy on me )

Actually, it's simply marbled green (with gold flake) and black (with pink flake).

I also received the chase Tear of God DBM. The red tears don't overwhelm the figure as much as I thought they might. Overall, one of the nicest DBMs in my opinion.

Is anyone familiar with the reference to 'Tear of God' and the bloody tears? I thought the figure made reference to the statues that are reported to cry blood. However, the header for the figure has a golden torii gate (as you might find at the entrance to a Shinto shrine) with blood dripping over it... so maybe it refers to something in Japanese culture?

Rocket Punch!!! couldn't resist this one, such amazing detail for a toy of this size.

I've been horrible about updating lately!
FInally did a 'get caught up' pre SDCC post.

I generally prefer silver but in this case I can't complain:

I just picked up the new usugrow hasadhu skull, the clear smoke with black lame and silver paint/rub for the lettering. My issue is there is a faint, but noticeable silver thumbprint right above the eye socket, whoever was working on it in the factory must have some extra ink on their hands.

Question:
is it worth contacting SB about? will they do anything for me or should i just suck it up? Wanted to see if anyone here has ever encountered anything like this before i go crying to hiddy & co

If its not over any printing, can you just use acetone to get it off?

Hey i didnt even think of that! See imglad i came here first. Its totally isolated from any other paint so it shouldnt be a problem. Just use standard acetone like nail polish remover?
