Clear and Chrome is always great, but I forget how cool Glow in the dark is. A Great toy!

Nice Review!

Nice review. I don't own any vinyls, because they're not really my sort of thing, but this one looks so damn cool I might actually make a feeble attempt to catch one on the aftermarket!

However, due to my lack of experience, I am wondering about something. Is this figure hollow and squishy, or a solid chunk of material?

Well, I don't have mine in hand yet, but I'd guess that it's pretty firm. Vinyls are always hollow, but some are squishier than others.

While this glow figure is nice, I think I'm glad I decided to go for the regular non-glow version. It just looks a bit more natural to me than this does..

I got the non-glow as well... The glow looked silly to me on this one. I mean, the whole character is silly, but it looked like a 3 year old that got into mom's makeup box.

Well...

Out of curiosity, what does the non-glow look like? It's possible I may like that one better as well.

Ah!

Okay, thanks. I can see the appeal in that one as well but I think I still like the glow better. Not like I'm ever actually going to own one, anyways...

So for now, this will have to do for my recent glowie lust (took me by complete surprise...I haven't always been like this!)

Well, the major factor with

Well, the major factor with the price is the # of pieces run. With dog toys, you are running hundreds of thousands of pieces, no articulation, no paint apps. So its no wonder that they are so cheap. Also, those are made in china and thailand. Japanese vinyl is low run (often under 100 peices) so you can't get the volume discounts.
