    I'm very happy with this guy (?) even though his arms will make him a bit of a shelf hog.

    Is this a toy story colorway? I like it a lot.

    looks like that, doesn't it? I didn't even realize it. The top one, orange and blue, is inspired by old Howard Johnson's restaurants

    I really like the royal blue, green, and red, colored Spike, but the last photo you posted looks like a classic spray, very vintage.

    new pic of an upcoming paint scheme...
    [​IMG]

    ...it reminds me of these drink cups they used to sell at the Hershey chocolate factory, shaped like a giant cocoa bean. These guys should be for sale in a few week? Via Unbox Industries. I can't wait to have one in hand and change it out with the other two figures.

    Can't wait to get my hands on one of these. M5 and Steegar are anxious to have someone new to play with.

    New color scheme to be released soon, vinyl is a sort of brown/orange color. I'm really pleased with how the volcanoes on the back came out, I think eventually I wasnt to unleash a bunch of blanks on some of the great customizers here.

    Right now we are just waiting on the Unbox new & improved website to be up and running , then they will go on sale.

    Spike Wad's looking great. Are all the colourways going to drop at the same time?

    No they'll be dribbled out over the course of about two years, once they're gone that's it. Most all of the paint schemes have already been produced, but there are blanks, mixed vinyls etc on standby for down the road.

    Thanks , I'm really happy with this guy.

    :D

    These are a little cheaper then my other Unbox toys thanks to some good planning by the producer. There will be other color schemes down the road if you miss out on this group...

    I was hoping Kiwi would be in the first lot, I think I'll wait for that colourway.
