I went to OKOK early and checked those out. But for me the original colorway just popped ! No matter what colorway it is a sweet figure. I also have the blue Mantra and I love it. I really dig all the bright colors. I was thinking it would be cool to figure out a colorway with all clear colors too.

Thought there would be a greyscale or something as Frank went gray in the second pass. I think the original red is best over this and the green.
Mr. Bumper is in the top five toys of the year.

Wow! I like this one so much more than the other colorways I've seen. I'm not a big fan of the figure, but it looks great in this colorway!

Sorry I missed you, Shape (any other Skullbrainers there?). I was literally the first at the table and then I was out of there. (Long day.) Hope lots of folks showed up. It was nice of Jim to be there to sign stuff. I may still get another from JW later, but I figured this one may be harder to get.

I was there just a little after 6:00. I must have just missed you, Biff. I picked up the same purple and black colorway. I love it. I really like that it has a different look to it than most of his other toys in terms of color. I'll still probably pick up a red as well down the line, though, since it is his classic style.
BTW, I think they said there is going to be a mono colorway as well.

They had very little info at the event when I was there. Gregory from Strangeco was supposed to be there with all the answers to questions about the figures (such as run numbers, release dates, etc.), but he hadn't arrived by the time I left.
As I understand it, these three plus the mono will be the four colorways for this figure. The green/yellow and black/purple are more limited than the red. Whether the black/purple is more limited than the green/yellow as well, I'm not sure. I'm guessing the mono will be the most limited. The black sold for $60 at the event, but they did say that that was a special price for the event only and that it would retail for more than that.

OK. The original colorway was a bit garish for me (though completely consistent with Woodring's art) but this one is fantastic. Any info on purchase would be much appreciated.
