Andy? I just hope there is a way to change the batteries without messing up the figure or letting the flashlight stay inside of it and have the battery acid eventually leak out and mess up the vinyl from the inside.

Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Where did you find out about the light?
Hairdryer is your friend.

Hairdryer is your friend. This is a translation directly from the page. "Lame lame Prison color × It is sold in red and green phosphorescent! Furthermore FLASH HEAD Ver light has been charged to the head" As terrible as the English translation is anyways. Some come with them and some do not from what i gather so its completely random. Also there is a picture after that one of some shown glowing from the inside.

Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
SB has previously released figures with a tiny motion activated flashing led with a tiny lithium battery. It just rattles away in the cavity of the figure. Nothing major.

Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Probably the same type that Buff mentioned. Nothing new and sometimes you get a dud. The light doesn't matter to me. I just hope I get one, but not a Damaged Brain.

Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Bert's right. Pop the head off, remove the light and replace if needed...

Yup just like a bouncy ball light. Now I just need them to send me the email confirmation so I can pay them Kind of fun that they are doing a possible free toy and flashing light this year. Hoping for a pumpkin head.

I emailed them super early Saturday our time, and haven't had a response yet. I've just had issues with responses on my last two orders from them is why I'm curious.

Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Thanks for the information. But now I'm worried my earlier email lost too. Just re-sent it , so hoping for a reply. Sent my first email late Saturday/early Sunday .. it was still daytime in Japan. Maybe I was too late? Still not sold out online, though. Edit. Now says Sold Out ... Sigh

Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Took the advice on here and re-sent my email this morning after initially sending an email order a couple of days ago.. Got a reply about half an hour ago saying "sorry they are now sold out". Wish they caught my email from the weekend hey!

Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
They got to my email finally. Just looks like they were behind from the weekend or something. I emailed at like 5am though, so I'm guessing they actually sold out pretty quick. Just took time to go through emails.

Just took time to go through emails. Thats why i sent my email as soon as it went up online cause i knew it was going to probably take awhile. And even than thats no guarantee you will obtain the item you want. The only thing that bugs me is you cant directly purchase merchandise via cart purchase. I imagine its much much easier for Japanese residents to grab rare limited Sofubi items especially the more desirable painted pieces just by the simple click of cart and shipping info. Or maybe im wrong idk though. Hopefully that changes to something simpler for foreign customers in the future though i doubt it.

Re: Upcoming Secret Base Releases
Got 2 emails from them = first one said 1 available , so I emailed back to confirm order. 5 minutes later , I got a sold out email . Sent another email trying to find out what was going on and in the meantime , got a invoice ! So I guess I really lucked out & got one by the skin of my teeth. Fingers crossed for some red glow..
