Oh no, thats just the 2 sides of the gingerbread-mans head, his head rotates. I think the variant may actually be this one..

http://collect3d.com/wp-conte... />This I think would answer your question... although I think the photo has been flipped because all the chase ones I have are clear/sparkly/GID on the right hand side of the brain. You got the green chase?
-
-
14 years ago
Nah just the standard green. How many do you have now?
-
-
-
388 689 743
14 years ago
How many in total? 23. Nearly all of the initial set excluding the yellow, black/GID, white/GID, yellow/GID chases, this one ^, the silver one, 3 spare blacks, 2 spare whites, 2 spare reds, 2 spare greens, 1 spare magenta and 1 spare dark blue. I have a whole army... I got 10 from tokyotoystore.co.uk when they had a sale on but only managed to pull cyan and yellow/GID that I didn't have, rest were dupes.

Wow thats a lot of frogs!!
You should paint some, do some custom colour schemes! -

I know, I really should take a photo of them all in a group :) I was going to sell my spares on eBay but as I like them a little bit too much I can't bare to let them go... might try and do a pastel colour custom range :D
-
-

That would be cool, or you could paint them to look like real breeds of exotic frogs, theres some real pretty ones, just do a google image search.

Well, if I recall I asked him nicely if he had any halfsies left. Although after the swap I realised I'm still missing the glittery brain with the GID innards :/

what were your first toys? how did you get into it? -

Over 300 in just under a year, I've been getting carried away. So simple maths shows that if I collected for 13 years at the rate I am now, just under 4000 toys. I hope it never gets that bad. How much cute and quirky can there possibly be for me to purchase? :)
-
-
14 years ago
First toys weren't great, I used to collect the MacFarlane stuff, of which I think I only have one piece left. I started very earl with Qee and Toy2r stuff.
Things have picked up recently though. I have no wife, kids, car etc, and a reasonably good job, so I'm fortunate to have quite a bit of disposable income. I was never a fan of saving money. -

I collected some Mcfarlane stuff as a teenager. They used to have good sculpts - I remember a great Marv from Sin City a friend if mine had.
Elissa - I got from 50 to 130/40 in a year so I don't have as many toys as you, but if my collection keeps growing by this factor it will be huge :P
I don't have a regular job at the moment, so it might stop the vinyl flow... -

Hey elissa, I'm working at Neon Monster today, and they've got two yellow jumping brains on display. You want one? I can buy it for you. I'm trying NOT to be a completist with jumping brains, but I'm sure we can trade something :)

They are claiming mine has been shipped, but are unable to supply tracking info, and they haven't taken the money from my account (As far as I can work out). I ordered from more than 8 US shops on the same day, and everyone else managed to get me my stuff ages ago.
CoMus
171 468 619

Right now I would feel a bit safer with just an email response.
They should have sent you a tracking number, especially considering shipping would have been $$ like me (AUS)

i'm a little dissapointed with this figure.
The design is awesome and i love it, but it made from soft vinyl, it become like a cheap toy if u grab and squeeze it.
If the figure made from hard vinyl it would be perfect.

Jazzy, I received mine today!
3D Retro was very disappointing with communication/customer service. I can happily sit and wait :P I just like to know what is happening! They might only ship once a week and it "just missed out on that weeks shipment" but all you have to do is tell me, especially when I enquire.
23/09/10 my order was placed, I enquired on the 6th (just under two weeks later) as I had not received a shipment email. They replied on the 8th saying it had already been shipped. Looking at the postage stamp it was shipped on the 8th.... Also the email was logged 8th Australian time, I cant be bothered doing the maths but I have a feeling that the package was sent on the 9th (Australian time) and I was told it was shipped before it had actually been shipped?!
Why didn't they just say "your item was sent out today, here is your tracking number" that would have solved it. Yet it wasn't even registered post.....
Now I get my package (perfectly boxed by the way, very happy with their packaging) and the postal cost on the box is 4.20, I paid 15 for shipping.... it should have been registered but the "Handling" is quite high i guess :(
CoMus
171 468 619
14 years ago
Now to review the toy:
Yes, it is quite soft, rubber ducky soft :P but it keeps its form so when its on the shelf, there is nothing to complain about.
The main thing I am disappointed about is the vinyl quality. It should be white but its a murky light grey. The "nipples" paint is too light and greyish rather than the pinkish hue in the photo; this is due to the low quality paint they used I gather.
The box that it came in was really neat! You open the box and the piece is within a cloth bag (then in another plastic bag). The design and sculpt is perfect! But I am used to Japanese vinyl quality and its a shame this sculpt was manufactured in china.
I also got number 89/300
So its really sweet but its just a shame about the production quality :(
jazzydan
499 646 2538
14 years ago
Still no news for me, very disappointing. Sounds like the toy is a bit disappointing also, shame!
rcoconnell
261 478 94

I have to disagree with CoMus. The vinyl in the picture is also light grey, and I think it's a good choice for this toy. It's true that the nipples are a bit more purple than pink, but I think they look pretty good -- and, again, pretty close to those in the picture. I know it's fashionable to complain about QC from China, but in this case I think the QC is just fine. I'm really happy with mine!
CoMus
171 468 619
14 years ago
Oh the Quallity is perfect, for the production methods used. I would have just liked it whiter than it actually is. Either way, I am very happy with it :D very nice piece!

Interesting fact, latest episode (148) of Toybreak Ben (owner of 3Dretro) addresses the issues we faced. It turns out the web-server wasn't correctly working. So it might fix the customer service side?

Lets hope so. I'd like to order from Ben again some time. I didn't realise he was running the place pretty much solo on top of a day job!
