Still digging those colors. Love the Esedeth sand.

Thanks clark!

So the first part of the shipment arrived today, I managed to snap a quick pic in what was left of the sunlight. Curious how you guys like the production contained build between a regular Banimon figure and a Hub Set, this is an idea Matt and I have been talking about and tinkering with for over a year.

Going to try and get some indoor shots this evening too.

Wow, that is a serious tampo machine! Thanks for sharing, Boris.

And I can't wait for the Esedeth Banimon troops!

Now that's just clever. I wonder how it'd look with the dome part turned upside-down, though. Give the Banigoth the big-chested look, and then pass on the regular torso piece to the trooper as a backpack.

Looks like the possibilities are endless, really... :hub21: :banigoth1: :redarmy1:

I like the little barrel-chested fellow on the ground.

If you happened to pick up a Border Patrol set from the previous drop, the grey vinyl matches up pretty well with these colors (and is pretty close match to the PVC grey that was the secondary color on the Glyos Esedeth release) so there is some extra building potential there. Also you can see the tampo print on the side of the gun turret from this angle:

Will we also be seeing some Esedeth grey this drop?

No Esedeth grey this time Artic, sorry. Since the last drop involved a very similar grey AND we're sandwiched between two awesome drops from sister companies (SpyMonkey and Onell) we thought it better to go lean. The paint apps on the tank threads should match the Esedeth grey pretty spot on though.

Thats a bummer. I'll still be getting some tonight; this will be my first batch of Banimon!

Here's another one with the threads in transport vehicle configuration (basically upside down :D ) so you can see the paint job on the bottom (or is it top?)

If a certain adult novelty toy company didn't release an expensive plush this week, I would've been all over a tank... but I'm broke til next month right now. Those tanks are sweet...

That, and I blew my Glyos money on an in-box first release figure from Onell.

Thanks thegeo, glad you dig the tank. If the pattern from the past few drops holds up they should be around a month from now ;-) but if you're worried PM me and I'll set one aside for you.

I'm beginning to think Banimon MIGHT be a SAMHAIN cover band ;)

Oh, haha, you caught that? Not nearly good enough to be the cover band, but huge fans for sure. A while back we ran some exclusive Samhain-style Banimon T-shirts, and of course Samhain/Misfits/Danzig gets played frequently at the studio.

Got my Desert Dogs last night, they are a load of fun! I didn't realize how much I'd love them in this color!

I augmented the build for the Banigoth by removing the Bani torso and adding it to the soldier as a back pack, but other wise I really dig this combo of a single banimon figure and hub set, great work Boris!

I love it! Matt also pointed out a different configuration that was cool, with the basic Banimon plus a mobile suit-type build for the remaining pieces, so definitely a few options. With Hub Set versatility, the ability to build some bigger guys is also there.

So everything from the the drop night up until yesterday should now be either arriving or out for delivery. As a small way of thanking everyone who ordered, this little orange guy made it into every box, it's not the greatest pic but it's basically the same orange from Esedeth and other recent releases.

Woah! That build with the hubset as the shoulder is killer!

Oh yes, these little orange guys are wicked! More please!!! Thanks for the sweet freebie!
