RECAP

So to recap on the Vinyl Junkies Skull Vikings, I have all that have been released, with the exception of #20. I really like that they are continuing their relationship with Blobpus, and coming out with some great colorways.
As there is very little information on the web (virtually none), about Vinyl Junkies, and the Vikings, this has been one of my reasons to continue this blog, as I believe I am the only source of compiled information about these figures, with pictures, release dates, & run numbers (if any). I feel this is a great looking sculpt, and the more info given, the easier it will be to acquire.

If you have any info on the Vikings that I do not have on here, feel free to leave a comment, or if you are a member of SkullBrain, PM me.
Thanks.........

#20 The one I do not have..........

Released at Super Festival 49 along with #19, in April 2009.
I need this Viking!!
When I get it, I'll update this post.

#19 MULTI COLOR GID

To quote
"Exclusive from BLObPUS, this is the awesome new Skull Viking glow in the dark release designed by BLObPUS's close friend and top toy designer Vinyl Junkies. Outstanding quality, and produced to a typically low run."
Released April 2009 at Super Festival 49 in Japan


#18 THE BROTHER

#18 Milky white body, red eye, and hilighted in gold. Also comes with a cross in gold.
Released at Super Festival 49 in Japan, January 2009
OK, I know it's been awhile since I posted anything new..................... No excuses, no life altering experiences, haven't lost my job, or anything like that. I just put it down as pure unadulterated laziness. If nothing else, let's just call it a sabbatical. Now back to the vinyl!!

#17 Milky White & Silver

# 17 in the continuing Skull Viking series, milky white body, blue eye, and hilighted in silver, makes for a great color combination. Add to that a silver cross that completes the look.
Released at Super Festival 49 in Japan, January 2009
