Yeah i will be doing quite a few... but 1 or 2 at a time.

still up in the air about who im doing next. I'm thinking maybe Hare, Shark and Carp.

Guess I don't have to tell you my favorite out of these three

But I think the Shark could be damn awesome as well and I think I know someone who'd be very interested in a Carp (JPac ) so can't be against that one either. Although it'll be the first of the actuall gumballs being reproduced.

Luckily we've the mark on them.

Let me know when the first Rabbit is done

[Venom]

I should have some more, on top of those who have orders in. PM if interested.

Also, i still havent received my Repro Rubs yet, i hear they take awhile to get in the mail. If anyone wants their mailed out early with out a Rub, Let me know.

also, messing around. Black with a grey mixed in.



*SOLD*

This is awesome!!!

[salazar4id]

Payment sent.!

Now the waiting..:.(

[Ericnilla]

Again, problems with the mold. No more orders being accepted as of right now. All orders have been cast, no worries there.

[sanjeev]

I'm appalled that I missed this thread before now!! Holy shit, these are awesome, Eric! I really hope you get your mold issues worked out at some point 'cause King Cobra's one of my all-time favorite BB's.

I don't have any of the original gumball dudes (and no real interest in picking them up), so some freaky colors would be pretty hot. That mixed black/grey's real neat. And not to jump the gun here, but it might be cool to have a bunch of these and swap out the arms Glyos-style!

Anyway, I'm all in next time these become available...

[salazar4id]

Any word on the Mold problem being solved.?

[Ericnilla]

no, for now the cobra is dead. i have to remold the back half.

[salazar4id]

Well I'm all in for waiting.!

[eightystoynut]

So anyone who got there cobra from Eric do any of you have real gummy figs from Japan? If so how close are Eric's customs to the real thing?

[jkaris]

I had a gumball once. It was a lot more flexible and glossy. Similar to a MIMP.
This one is flat and somewhere between a keshi and a M.U.S.C.L.E. in firmness.

[Ericnilla]

yeah since i cast this straight from a regular battle beast it pulled the sheen off of it. If i wanna do some Glossy ones i would have to spray paint the figure gloss before molding him.

Hope you´ll be able to do the review for us soon bro!


@ Eric, did you start with the already or will you focus on fixing the Cobra mold again first?
And a little glossy like Jon mentioned would be nice as well based on his reaction since my Cobra is still stored within the US I can´t give you any feedback yet, so I´ve to be patient.

Got mine and the color and substance of the figure is a spot on match to the originals! It feel like they're made of the same material. I agree with Jon that it lacks the shine but when looked at from most angles it would be impossible to tell that the Cobra figure is not authentic. Very well done! Put me down for any of the other figures that never got made by Takara whenever you start making other sculpts.

[Ericnilla]

ok, just went through my bag of Battle beasts to pick out the next few and i just realized I don't have a Carp, Snake or Shark anymore.

I prefer to get my own instead of borrowing, so does any one have any for sale or to trade me, i can give its worth as a discount toward a gumball version ($4-$8 depending on condition), I need their weapon as well, This is a MUST.

Received my gumball Cobra today and I have to say everything from the Figure to the Rub, the Color and especially the Keshi-like-Rubber is really super nice!

I must say I don`t collect or have any Battle Beasts. Why? Because I like my Toys Monochromatic&Rubbery. Battle Beasts are nice, I really like the Armors and alot of the Sculpts and I have tried some but they don`t do it for me cause they are painted and plastic. I know there are other "real" monochromatic Battle Beasts. These are nice too but pricey and again not made of rubbery material. Now thanks to Eric I have a Mono-Rubbery BB Custom. Packed inside a Gumball. I´m stocked. Really stocked about how much I like this Figure!

[WarOnTheShore]

Got mine today as well! I've never owned or touched a gum ball Beast, somI have no frame of reference. But what I do know is that this figure is awesome and really well made.

To get this for the price asked is just great. I've been so discouraged here in the past by casters who are out simply to make a buck off the backs of collectors who can't obtain certain figures. So to get something like this that is 100 percent unique and at such a nice price is great. Thanks, Eric.

[Ericnilla]

Thanks guys. Hopeful to have some more made soon.

[Ericnilla]

Ok I got a Snake BB, I still need a Shark and Carp with weapons. Like i said before i'd like to buy them or trade them for a discount toward a Gumball Version. If someone has just the figures and can find someone that just has the weapons, im sure we can work something out with that too.

If i cant get either of these in the next week I will be willing to Borrow ones to make these, but will only be able to give a very small discount ($3) toward a Gumball Version.

I just want to say big ups to eric, I just got the cobra in the mail, and it looks great. I like what youve been able to do with it. This is a great place, with a wealth of info. This beast community aint that big, and I like how everyone helps out everone else. I got an extra carp, with a weapon that ill donate to you. Good job, lets see what else creations you can come up with. -Zion

[Ericnilla]

Woot, Got the Carp and Snake, now i just need a Shark~!

Hopefully someone has one with a weapon.

[salazar4id]

I have an extra black panther if you would consider making a gumball version.?

[Ericnilla]

I'm looking for a BB Penguin as well if anyone has one for trade or sale, Must have weapon.

[eightystoynut]

Hmmm, I think GJLN might have a spare?
*Eric how many gumball cobra's did you get to make before the mold issue?
*So is the cobra considered a limited edition?

[Ericnilla]

I made 20 cobras total (including 2 black/gray swirl), and i will make more if there is a demand for them. Otherwise i will just move on to other beasts.

GJLN has one, but no weapon. I need one with a Weapon and prefer to get one for me, not borrow one.
