    That Christmas-Akro rules (I'm sorry, I hate dumb nicknames like that, but hey whatever) any of those actually released or are they just teasers?

    I've been wanting to know more about that panda head for quite some time, but all I ever saw was hidden pics.

    And awesome scores !

    thats for the pics scott! nice score w/ the bigaros - interesting how the flesh/pink is larger than the GID. do you think this is an early proto like akum6n's pink mandrake score?

    It looks like the chest plate must just be adjusted upward. I do remember hearing something about prototype runs being slightly larger than production pieces. Can't remember why that is.

    It may be the vantage point.. but the hands, belt and even shorts look to be higher and slightly larger on the pink.

    Also, glitter has a noticeably short life span - it oxidizes and turns brown or grey or black. Just look at most any old toy that had glitter on the surface - I'm not sure if perhaps encasing the glitter in vinyl (like those clear Sky Devilers and the DR Gabaris) might preserve it, maybe without exposure to air it would last.

    But either way, I'd vote no-glitter.

    Love that Xmas Akro and the Panda Head ( :shock: ) - Both are only 'maybes' for production, or are they for-sure? Between the mention of an upcoming Akro etc., and those bubbly-Heads test shots, I'm even more confused than normal as to what's coming up!

    And stealth, thanks again for all of the store pics and stories - You really convey a lively sense of what it's like (and make it sound like great fun), and it also looks like you've made some amazing scores!

    The back of his shop is my nirvana. I would be like DJ shadow in that scene from scratch where he is in that back room with records from floor to celling.

    Also if the next are bubble vinyl, I hope there are no paint versions. I LOVE the bibble vinyl, but dont like the way paint looks on it.

    I just like the eyes painted, like the MH that hit. Gives a touch of accent without being over bearing.

    Paint on bubble vinyl looks like crap to me. I always hungered over the 2 chaos that where bubble vinyl with green / blue spray. But when I got my MH I lost interest in anything bubble with spray. I dont know... time will tell.

    Is it because the bumpy texture? Like I said, JUST the eyes IMO, I think more than that would look crappy but I like a little bit of eye spray. But you're more of a unpainted-junkie so I can see your point.

    Wow though, a whole bubble crew, blowing my mind, such a simple idea but it has such an awesome visual impact, thanks for the 411 stealthy.
