Looks like baby Deadbeet will get the UofM color too:

From Vinyl Pluse...

DeKorner will release an exclusive 2 figure Deadbeet set from Scott Tolleson for WonderCon (3.29 – 3.31). The set will feature a yellow full-sized Gummy (translucent) Deadbeet and for the first time ever, a mini pvc deadbeet from October Toys in yellow. The set is a preview of sorts for the new minis which will be released later this year.

There will also be trans purple and trans yellow OMFG sold at WonderCon:

I was going to pass on these, but Bait's store has a free shipping option and each set is only $9.99. Translucent yellow puke ghost should make for some cool combos. I wish the purple was darker, but it's hard to pass on an S1 set for $10 shipped.

[waaaaghlord]

They're quoting $57 for international shipping. Anybody want to help out by grabbing 2 of each to a US address to cover Aikola and myself? I can paypal the $40 straight away.

[Metalmonkey]

There's no way BAIT can justify those prices. I can still get a set of omfg shipped international for just over $10 elsewhere, for them to jack up the shipping prices this high has me pissed! I'd rather go without that support someone that greedy and selfish.

[waaaaghlord]

The problem is that they're not offering the first class international rate. Priority shipping is silly prices, I'd really only consider using it with a high value shipment that was worth some additional cover. That they've got a free shipping option in the States shows that they're not looking to jack every cent they can, plus they've stuck to the $10 base value on the OMFG sets while some vendors have charged a little more. There are members here and on OT helping out now, so while it's another hoop to jump through they can be got hold of cheaper indirectly by international collectors.

[Metalmonkey]

Fair points Waah, but it doesn't change the fact it costs 4 1/2 times the value of the item itself to ship it internationally. The make it that much worse for anyone who doesn't live in the states to keep up with releases financially. Even if someone does go out of their way and order a lot to their US address first and then ships it internationally themselves, being reimbursed and possibly paid to do it... That's more time, more money and more risk. If something crap happens like it gets damaged or lost then both people get screwed.
This should be BAITs responsibility being the vendor, and not put other collectors in a shitty position.

Whenever I see something like this, I always assume the seller is actively trying to put off foreign buyers. It seems like the most obvious conclusion.

Message received loud and clear here anyway. Shame, as these are rather cool.

Yeah it sure looks like it. I hope they come around and offer another cheaper option but I'm not holding my breath.

[McCTXToys]

Ordered 3 sets of the trans-purple. Also, did anyone else receive extra blood red packs? For some reason I was sent two.

[Metalmonkey]

My order was forgotten about until they realised and sent it out pronto with a free custom puke knight if that counts.

Got my sets in yesterday! Looks like they only have 1 purple left!!!

I got my sets a couple days ago. Rotofugi's clear blue is still my favorite of the translucent colors, but the purple looks good too.

If you take flesh knight and trans yellow puke you can make Pee Knight! Haha he has been like that on my shelf for a while. I also think solid yellow knight with trans yellow puke is neat.

That combo reminds me of the day after my 21st b-day. Puking bile.

I'm glad you said puking bile. Cause if you hadn't I would have had to assumed you puked pee after your 21st birthday. Then I would have had to give you a wide berth here on the forums haha.

Clear Ice and Metallic Gold baby Deadbeets for sale

[Strontium Dog]

Excellent, I love the baby Deadbeets more than any of the OMFG figures.

Appreciate you posting the news here as I might have missed out otherwise, would hate to have a gap in the collection

[fkro6784]

Yes, thanks for letting us know. I am a big fan of the Baby Deadbeets as well, and your posts here are always how I find out about the new colors. Although I missed the purple, so I'm trying to figure out if it's worth trying to keep up with all the colors now. It's tempting since they're only a couple bucks.

[iwao]

No problem. I figure the clears will go quickly. I've seen pics of a lot of different people customizing deadbeets, and customizers always go for the clears.

That reminds me, what would you use to remove the color changing paint from the OMFG stealth set? Acetone? I never mess with the color change feature, so it's like I have a custom set painted matte black on display. I think I'd rather turn it into an S1 clear set.

fkro - Do you need both regular and metallic purple, or just one? I've got an extra one of each that I was going to ebay sometime soon. Let me know what you need.

[waaaaghlord]

Snagged mine and Aikolas 'Beets plus a couple of extra clears. The production run on the clear figures was a little higher than most colours, 250 as opposed to 200, although I doubt that'll help them last in the store.

[iwao]

Clear beets are sold out. I'll post a new thread next time a color is released if I'm the first to see it. I figure some people might like the Deadbeets that don't follow the OMFG discussion.

Just saw a plum Deadbeet sell on ebay for around $44 shipped, but it was mostly a bidding war between two people.

[iwao]

So, even though I'm out of collecting OMFG I still want to get my hands on these remaining two damn AP orange figures - Shithouse and Crawdad. Has anybody got any ideas when they're being released as there's nothing on them over at OT as far as I can see?

Ralph says to PM him on October Toys to get one of his orange figures with sketchcard for $13 shipped. He said he only has a few left from Toycon. http://www.octoberto...art=675#p252042

I got a freebie from Thye with the Christmas Outhouse, so I'm not trying for one of Ralph's.

[bronchuseven]

There's a new resin toy from Daniel Yu (creator of Crawdad Kid): Oi! Cthulhu

I'm not getting one (can't afford $70 for a toy!) but I thought it was a cool sculpt, regardless.

Did these UofM yellow ever come out?
