It does look mighty fine. Should have picked one up now. Something about the simple colours. Same reason I like the ornage on orange damaged brain.

I suggested switching the bag man's head with the damaged brain's before, but then the bag man's eye would be black. The damaged brain definitely looks better like that.

My set came in today they look awesome! I can say I'm not sold on the Bee really, but I need him for that Black FG, which I'm sending for tomorrow! Glow is always good! Time to focus on something else now, but I'm glad to get a set!!!

Cool. The GNO Bee was my first Skull Bee. The Skull Bee is not my favorite sculpt, but it's nice to have at least one in the collection.

Yeah that's how I feel. If I'm gonna have one, it might as well be part of this set, and not some stray design. ANd, glowing always rules!

NICE!
On a dif. note, why is the SKull Bee from this set on Toytokyo $75 and the others they have (bagman, obake, damgebrain) $65, is the bee really worth more or something?
Anyway, those glows are sweet man!

Don't know the reason why, but maybe it's because the Bee came first in the series, so it's been out longer. (?)

I'll slam the GNO Bee as it has a cheap feel to it, at least mine.
I collect bees but this one is ehhhh.
Especially with the somewhat similar Yamato Bee which is better (IMO).

My only problem is it's just NOT Halloween-ish. I mean color wise yeah, but Frankenghost, Bagman, Obake and DBrain are all ghostly-monsterish type ghouls. SKull Bee is an angry Bee with Judo outfit. Cool, sure, btu doesn't fit in. Skull Pirate would've been waaaayyy cooler and fit right in with the others. Thats my only beef with ol' Skull Bee, is he just doesn't feel right with a Halloween set.

Skull Pirate too expensive to produce (my guess).
Madball Mantis maybe...
Also should have been the secret bonus figure in GID. Alas.

Is there an extra fee I need to pay for the free Black Frankenghost? I have the pins and I'm about to send them, but than realized I might have to pay shipping, but didn't see anything. I don't wanna send these and NOT get them because I forgot to add a shipping check/MO.

There is no extra fee... just send in your pins and get your frankenghost!

Hey, Fresh Meat question, how do you get the damage brain and Obake tops off? I can get the Bagmans bag off, but when I try Obakes sheet or Skull brains bandages, it's super tough and I'm afraind to break/reip something. I've been trying to set up the top pic for a day or so but I'm not wanting to bust anything.

Use a hairdryer. Heat up the vinyl and it becomes soft and removable.

Doing that won't screw up the vinyl or shape of the sheet?

If you get the vinyl soft enough, it should be fine... However, it's much harder to get them BACK into the sheets though.

I have NEVER used a hairdrier to remove the Obake sheet, but others on here have. I have used it to put the brains, bags, and various sized 12" Suit heads on and off my toys. Some will come off with out heat, but going on they need it. You only need a bit of heat too. Just so it's soft and rubbery.
