Well I managed to grab a bunch of these figures from two different sellers for a great price. I only received one of the packages. I'll post more pics of the other ones when I get em.

First thing I noticed is, all of them have some sticky parts that you need to attach to them. And whatever that stuff is made out of, it's REALLY REALLY sticky. To the point of being almost annoying. You could probably decorate a mirror with them.

How sticky you ask? well... this sticky.




Just handling them is a pain because of that stuff. You have to be careful not to stick two figures together. A bit too sticky for my taste but once you manage to display them properly, they look awesome.

Got 4 glow in the dark ones. I completely forgot to take a picture of those...I'll have to edit this later tonight.

Anyways, here's what I got so far.

Those look awesome!
Congrats on the find.

Would it be possible to get a size comparison, with a MUSCLE, MIMP or something?

[fkro6784]

Oh man, when I first saw pics of those I assumed the shells were just soft rubber, not sticky. Still look really awesome though.

Those are really good pictures! Though I admit, the stickiness might not be the best thing ever...

[ironmask]

Thanks for the size/comparison pics!

Yep. I was expecting the same thing.

Another thing is these will probably be dust magnets.

What are they new or old toys?

New.

I believe they came out this year. Or last year....not sure.

[PlasticSoul]

So cool. I want some. The octo guy and the spider are must haves.

Thanks for the pics.

You reckon there would be a way to nullify the sticky? I had also hoped they would be normal add ons.

[Onyxiaphil]

Hmm..I have no idea.

Do any of you remember these little sticky hands you could get in gumball machines?

It's the same stuff. I could throw one on my wall and it would probably stick.

[Luckyduck]

I agree those things look great what are that called i want some

[Ericnilla]

So they are better sculpted Boogaz~? I guess since they are Viruses, its their gimmick. i dont think i like that, I like figures i can collect, these will definitely get super dirty if they are displayed. Figures you have to keep in bags seems like a hassle.

Very disappointing.

[ironmask]

I mean, I am less interested in the skins, and more interested in the figures underneath.

2nd pic, green guy on left, like it!

[PlasticSoul]

The sticky stuff has always been easy to clean. Soap and water make it like new. Seems like these are made to either play with but i think they'd be fine to display in a case rather then out in the open.

[Onyxiaphil]

Here are some without their "booger suits"

[ironmask]

See, I think those look amazing, as is. The Gum-Suits kind of add to the experience, but I dig the total package. I really want Ermalion.

Im sure stuff made out of that sticky stuff over the years rots on its own and if you have Pets these things are hair and Dust magnets. Such great looking figures they they put a gimmick into that will not last a few years even what a waste.

Yeah i don't think it will hold over over time BUT the actual figures without the goo are so damn cool i don't mind. Sucks for people who like to collect stuff and keep it mint though, that is for sure. I tend to play with my stuff so i don't mind.

This.

And, I think the base figures are neat enough, that I will keep pursuing the line.

Totally agree on both counts.

[FANtomCore]

too bad these can't be molded, they seem like nice sculpts, but the sticky stuff would probably end up ruining the mold.

[Soupie]

The figures themselves are made of a very nice, soft plastic. It's only the removable "clothing" that is made of the sticky rubber material. But yes, that material is pretty much identical to the material of Boogaz.

When I first opened my Virus Attacks figure sometime last year, the clothing piece was sticky, but it wasn't too bad. However, I just took it out of my display case yesterday, and it was incredibly sticky. Perhaps the material quickly degrades over time.

I'm going to remove the clothing and throw it away.

@Fantomcore

The sculpts themselves could be easily molded. However, the "clothing" could not.
