I still want to see it without the helmet It may get me to buy one...

It will look just like every other Squadt (for the most part) without the helmet.
Just BUT IT you know you want it!

Currently there are 9 Black and 45 Copper ones left which may make this the second Squadt not to sell out on launch day. Sad times indeed.

if they last till tomarrow im buying both, i dont get paid till the 23rd :-/

Black is sold out...

Ferg has done a stellar job creating a new figure that is obviously very popular both selling and on the secondary market. You can't expect every figure to disappear within an hour or two. With the holidays and everything else I think these figures have sold pretty well. Give it time. They'll sell out and the next one will come down the line. I can't wait to see these 2 in person. Great job.

When Squadts sell out fast people complain that they were not able to get them, when they don't sell out people complain - I am not sure what that is about.

for the record I am completely stoked with the way these have sold. thanks everyone.

I wasn't really saying it was Sad times for Jamungo. Mostly i was commenting on how the silly season coupled with the still-struggling economy has slowed down people's vinyl collecting habits.
I for one am thrilled when a Squadt release last a long time, because it makes is so much more accessable to the real collectors who might be at work at noon CST (which is most people) and have a hard time picking up the toys at the release price.

I am also happy when the Squadts are still on sale for several hours because that means that fewer fucking flippers are snatching up a dozen at a time with the intention of immediately reselling on eBay for 4 times the original price, which is what happened to the Gohst, Chipp 01 and Launch Party. Flippers have seen for the most part that trying to resell these on eBay for crazy prices won't work when you have a great community willing to resell the toys at little-to-no profit just to help out a fellow collector.

And I am definitely not worried for Ferg. That bastard has enough of my money to keep him in ugly hookers and blow at least until the next Squadt release

haha.. .

clarification: nobody has ever bought 12 at at time.(at least under one name) the most anyone has ever bought is 4 pcs. and that was only with the first releases and MNJ.

yo ferg, before you take them off sale and give them to a retailer or something like that, hold me down with a reg colorway please if possible. i need this and someone was nice enough to trade me for a black.

no probz

This part is my exact thoughts. I like when it doesn't sell out in two fucking minutes

ferg fuckin rulez. squadtz rulez. C&D rulez. Happy holidayz everyonez.

Ferg is da man, always.

I know no one has ordered a dozen at a time (exageration), but still you have to admit that there is a direct correlation between how fast these sold out in the past, and how many you suddenly saw on eBay the same day. With the selling window longer you definitely see far fewer of these on the 'bay. And the ones you do see are generally much more reasonably priced.

True as always that people can buy whatever they want for whatever reason they want but its always annoying to miss out on something only to see it offered for significantly more money immediately after.

saw over on the expressobeans forum a Navy diver peeped these and talked them up at work, and 3 other Navy divers grabbed one new Jamungo recruits haha

there's a shitload of scuba forums...and dive shops...this fig has market potential outside the usual toy/collectible world. that is one thing i about Jamungo: by pushing the limits of the medium, Jamungo expands the reach of the medium

I can't wait for the white one - these are awesome.
