Celebrated our 6th anniversary Oct 4th, and my boyfriend got me this wonderful Science Patrols set. Elemental Archmage and Slime Adjudicator. They're duking it out over a landscape of red velvet cupcakes.

Was that black baby head elephant/bear body from Grody Shogun or someone else? I have a couple of the Rampage Toys painted animals, but that baby is wonderfully creepy!
Here's a painted version of the baby monster; a Grody acquisition~

Ahh, very cool colour on 'that figure.' I love the deepness of the green. Even for one not so into unpainted toys, that is the best version I have seen. Love translucent toys; he needs to stand next to Anne Yuri! Great snag JP.

Re: The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread
Thanks, guys. I Really like him also, a Lot. My words exactly, Rei; he's just Beautiful.
Furthermore, Thanks for not mentioning what toy it is for those who haven't received theirs yet.
SSSS Spoiler Speak :
Blanks are kinda rare for me too, Steve. They make up a pretty small percentage of my collection. Every now and then there are those that wow me, like this Wing Kong (though I can imagine if it was painted ). But I actually like this blank version better than the NYCC painted version. Of course with this being one of my favorite clear colors, it probably helps. I'm still obsessed with Animator's Naoya Zag on this page : http://skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=44121&start=125. It's not green vinyl, but you get the point - it's the dominant clear color there.
Ha, yeah, William, I definitely thought about it, man, but I'm still sticking to my 1 version rule. Godzilla knows, if I slack once, those gates will fly Wide open. Meester Yellow Wing Kong takes flight out to his new home tomorrow

WOW, JP! Great pull, man! Beautiful!
I'm not that into gorilla-based figures in general, but I have really been digging this sculpt... the detailing on the fur and wings is so fine. Hope they can do a painted version that really complements the sculpt, at some point...
Thank you both! Got lucky on all three, and was assisted heavily by Ed on the Dragonball Bee! I so, so wish they'd have done more with the boxer arms. It has so much more attitude! And you can never have too much Gargamess.

Re: The "What you just got in the Mail" Thread
I believe you mean to say too much goodness for one package; or any one person, really. Wowsers man, that is a box of goodies like few others.
Congratulations on finally landing that lil' Pyggy. I know full well what a quest he has been for you. Glad to see a new home for those toys (even if [sniff] it is not mine).

Jeez Louise, David. That's one hell of a mail day. Good Stuff, bud!
And Yes, Congratulations on the pig. Ha, I had to check my secret wish list to see if you grabbed the one I've been watching. Phew phew phew!
