MIST – Special Goldorus (11.8)
MIST has just announced a special wild multi-color Goldorus edition produced by Bonustoyz. Limited to just 100 pieces, each figure comes with a hand-painted box for that extra personal touch. The color scheme here is bad-ass – wild for sure, but alluring rather than garish or colorful just for the sake of it.
It drops this Saturday, November 8th @ go2mist.com for 150 euros + shipping. If you don’t have a Goldorus edition – this is the one to get. The figure is pretty wild already with the double flying fist action (spring loaded) but add in the new colorway and the hand-painted box, and it’s that much more desirable. More pics after the jump.
