Dark Cowboy + Dead Equine Superset

*Warning. Image heavy post*

One of the biggest sets in terms of size ever released by 3A was the original Blind Cowboy + Ghost Horse superset. The horse itself was a gorgeous work of art cast out of polystone, but remained out of reach due to size, weight and cost on the aftermarket. 

Fortunately for us newcomers, 3A re-released the superset in April this year in the form of a Dark Cowboy + Dead Equine superset. Basically a monotone colour variation of the original set. There are two versions of the set - the Bambaland exclusive which includes a shotgun rifle, posters and the red devil puppet, and the retailer set which doesn't include the extras.

Without further adieu, here are the unboxing pics!

TKK #1 Oroshi

*Warning. Image heavy post.*

Awhile back at the start of the year, Ashley Wood announced something called the TK Klub, exclusively available only to 2013 3AA members. Thus far, only 3 TKs from the Klub have been sold on Bamba, while the 4th that has been hinted at has yet to come. TKs from the Klub are supposed to be a departure from the previously similar looking TKs, and a return to the 'oldschool sticker boxes'. 

Anyway, after a long wait, TKK #1 Oroshi has arrived! Basically a colour variant of the TK Waza that was a Thai expo exclusive, it puts a spin on the usual TK colours by sporting a maroon tone! There were also two chase variants inserted randomly - a dark interloper and a grey interloper. Sadly, I didn't manage to snag any. 

Here's some unboxing photos of the sticker box - essentially a wider but flatter cardboard box wrapped with a printed on paper. A clean and simple design.
