    @akum6n I feel like if the grey were to get smoke damaged the white teeth would too, no? I think both versions you two have posted are rare escapees!

    @xSuicide Squadx That's kinda what I'm running with in my head. I picked up a matt black Brain (same as the Obake Ghost and Astro Brain) via Mandarake from one of my early Tokyo trips and have a suspicion that's a similar deal. Either factory or shady SB staff selling covertly . . . who knows.

    @akum6n Smells just like the monochrome. No smoke, no chemicals. I love the smell of fresh sofubi in the mornings! (What's the base vinyl on the brown dude you have?

    Just to clarify my earlier post, if there is no smoke smell, I also think Andy's Bee is a paint sample or something similar.

    My comment was more to note that smoke discoloration can take on the appearance of paint/dye under certain circumstances. The painted surfaces on my example didn't seem obviously discolored, just the bare vinyl. It also came with a couple of blank white Bees that had been smoked into a lovely ivory color.

    @Anti Social Andy I haven't opened up my brown Bee... not sure if I am that curious.

    Got gifted the guy on the right a few years ago, and having never seen the unsplattered version out in the wild, figured it was a no-hoper . . . until last week!

    2023 seems to be the year of Skullbee-twinning.

    Did anyone ever get to the bottom of these non-production clear with glitter dudes? (I recall there were other colours out there too right?)

    never got any firm answers and the "truth" is lost in translation sometimes with hiddy. while i have a yellow one i am once again smitten with your red. i feel like i might have seen a purple one too but not 100% sure memory is accurate...? maybe blue as well...?

    I’ve held the purple myself, so it definitely exists. I’ve seen the yellow, but never that red before, and it’s still very vibrant! It’s kinda cool there’s still unknown lore with some of these fighters after all this time.

    The glitter Bees come in red, yellow, blue and purple. I haven't seen any other colors out there.

    Sometimes I have seen them come with a Secret Base sticker on the foot. I'm not sure why some have this and some do not.

    Do you think we will ever see another Pushead toy released by Secret Base?

    I feel like it’s been a couple years at this point since the last one..
