Just ordered two sets of LRG exclusive. Happy as Hell

[PimpNugget]

Right now I have two doubts:

- Open the black set or not
- Cut the plastic for good and keep the card OR carefully make a three side cut on the bottom and let the figures slide out in order to keep the card and the plastic (in case I want to slide'em back in)

aah.. problems..

I'm keeping the black and flesh sealed but opening the others.

Got my OMFG figgies in the mail Monday. They are so cool! They came with a few stickers, a bookmark, and a mini poster. Eventually I will probably paint a set.

[JonnyPac]

Got mine today! Way cool! Thanks!

[TheRiddler]

I opened the flesh ones also(just at the bottom) left the black sealed...not sure what to do with the green ones yet!

The factory plastic bag that the figures are in is really chincy, and since the LRG packaging has a slide out card, you should definitely open them!

With a slide out card i'll be for sure opening them!!! Can't wait to get them!!

[NamaNiku]

Those bags are ghetto. First rice paper figure packaging ever...

Just in case anyone missed the shipping update for UofM figures.

I'm sure mine are pretty far down the chain, but that's still good to know, thanks. Just got my LRG set today, thanks Jon! The Rotofugi set aka. unfortunately also blue, should be here tomorrow, and I think I've lined up acquisition of an Onell set after all. If so, then all I need are the artist reds and I'm set!

RE: LRG OMFGs, the packaging is pretty cool and I love how the card doubles as postcard-sized art. I'm glad the mainline OMFG figures didn't use this oversized bubble but it IS a shame they didn't use a collector-friendly sliding-card design either. That's one of the best parts of buying most TakaraTomy Transformers or carded Bandai toys from Japan - no seals against the card, just tape at most.

It's a shame the bag sucks so much, because I don't think many people will ever put the header card to use.

[Ericnilla]

yeah i passed on the Onell because of the "two blues", i think the Rotofugi is a better blue.


So is there anyone else submitting an entry to the second series~? either a drawing for Sculpture~? i havent kept up on the entries.

Is there an official due date? I submitted an idea but no sculpt. Have one started but not sure if I want to submit or not.

I will vote for yours though. Very cool.

Whomever came up with that idea knew what they were doing. That is awesome. No risk of tearing the card apart.

[Merovingian]

Got my Black and Flesh figures in the mail today, Sadly I dont have room to display them. I need to work out some kind of display in this new house.

I submitted this one, but I cant draw at all.

Are the flesh ones still for sale?

I've got the LRG, UofM and Rotofugi ones so far... What other ones am I missing?

Onell blue/grey
Flesh
Black
Red*

*The red ones might be tough. From what I understand each sculpter got their figure in red. So if I understand correctly we will be buying them as singles from multiple outlets.

The flesh ones will show up at OctoberToys again once he gets things situated.

[Scar1321]

Are the Onell ones sold out? I checked out thier site the other day but couldn't find them.

Where are the black ones from?

[Ericnilla]

onell is sold out and the black was only available from the kickstarter as an exclusive when you pledged a certain amount. i dont think they are gonna sell any of them.

Not sure about Onell.
Black was the exclusive color for the kickstart donation

[Scar1321]

Thanks guys!

Hopefully I can snag a flesh set from October Toys. I'll just have to live without the other colors. I was kinda digging that blue/gray color Onell had though.

[BaltanII]

I think George mentioned at one point that anybody who donated to the project through Kickstarter will later have the option to purchase additional sets. I imagine this will go down once October Toys starts selling the flesh sets as well, so if you're able to hold tight, you can get one of us donators to help you out with the black set!

Onell is the odd man out. When you toss Glyos collectors into the mix, things get screwy and... well, crap sells out before you know it. It was a real shame I didn't grab a set or two while it was available, but I had no money then! Thankfully, I know someone who got an extra set and I may be able to pry it away to complete my collection. Not everyone will be so lucky.

[Scar1321]

Dude, that would be awesome of you!

Thanks!!

[BaltanII]

...wait one second. What part are you saying is awesome? The Kickstarter set or Onell?

I meant getting the extra Onell set for myself because I missed out! I'd be happy to help you with Kickstarter black when that happens though.

What I would suggest you do is to start a wanted thread on the October Toys forum and mention your love for that color. Some people gravitated to the Onell OMFG sets because they were available first, not because of the color. Heck, I recall someone talking about buying the set specifically to give to kids (which, independent of our discussion, is very cool). Point is, someone with an extra Onell set or just not loving the color most of all might be inclined to make a trade. You never know.

There's also the remote possibility of Onell doing a reissue set but don't hold your breath.

Reminds me of Treant from Ubisoft's "Might & Magic - Clash of Heroes" figures.
