The Nabler Guys

Congrats on receiving y our Nabler Guys, Chivo and Crem! Now let's all ask for wave 3 with pastel colors and GID!

I arrived safely in Doha, Qatar, 16 hours ago. Here are some pics of Traveling Nabler Guy.

Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt:



Qatar Airways flight to Doha:



My ride to Frankfurt, just after landing. The boxes remind me of Fong John square:



What is this? A stowaway!




... and to celebrate, i opened up Red... he's a brick shade of red, nicer than i thought he'd be... both wave 2 guys i've opened so far have super tight bodies, except for one kinda loose knee on Black and one kinda loose ankle on Red.

Wave 1 Gray guy has crazy ultra tight ankles, tight body, and loose-ish torso. Overall these bodies are better. I'll undress wave 2 later to check if they are the newly tooled body that reportedly the mechanics have (new date stamp on leg).

Ha! Fantastic, pez.

I'm down for an aggressive pastel set- Easter colors and toothy grins and frowns!

That pez!!!

Ps. I have the same Boba hoodie and nablers in airplanes rock!!! (is nabler in this miles high sex cub now? )

Enjoy this 3adventure and that kuntsler bear!

Thanks geisT! Nabler Guy is in ALL the exclusive sexy clubs, even those we will never know of because we'll never be as sexy as Nabler Guy.

Nothing beats the fleeting high of opening up a new 3A figure, especially if wrapped like this, it's like opening up a very special present.

Nice ones Pez! Out off all 3A, these are my favorite. They seem to capture the spirit of Ashley Wood's humor and style.

Btw, have we figured out which one(s) are the rare colors? I need plum and am hoping they are moderate on the secondary market.

Wonder if mine has shown up? I'm in Tokyo currently. Hopefully postman will hold it until I get home

I got blue and yellow dot. The other two nablers haven't arrived yet. (2 separate orders)

Sideglide: Thanks! i agree, when i first saw them i thought they screamed Ash's style and essence.

I'm pretty sure by now that Purple (plum?) is the second rarest, with Magenta perhaps being the rarest. I've seen more pics of Purple than Magenta, and both seem to be more frequent in Asia.

d3nnis: Congrats on getting Magenta and Purple (blue and yellow dot respectively), you scored two rare ones (rare so far). Most orders in America got Black, Green, Red.

If you get duplicates, would you trade or sell?

I haven't seen a single W2 Nabler Guy on the secondary market yet. By this time last year, there were a few ones on Ebay and BST.

Lucked out and grabbed one off a Japanese auction site. Just need 1 more!

My wife went and picked it up.  Black dot.

I'm wondering if even people besides us forum guys bought into these Nabler Guys being that we haven't seen them on ebay.

Im betting more so. There was a ton of envy , me included, after wave 1. Im betting more buyers are keepers.

^ I agree with Sideglide.

But then again, if after wave 1 there was envy and post-in-hand-pics-demand (much like happened with wave 1 3AGO), it makes sense that people bought w2 Nabler Guys to resell...

Or maybe they're not mainstream enough (by 3A standards) as TKs and DePlumes, so resellers avoided them.

In any case, their absence in the aftermarket doesn't mean they are rarer than wave 1, in terms of production numbers. Just that they're being kept by their buyers.

Wise decision, i say

I think the latter.

Wonder if we see a wave 3 and if it has a grill like smile / sad face like Classic Nabler V2?

You mean a removable mouth piece, gar?

Speaking of classic nabler... why don't Nabler Guys have smoke plumes like their larger bodyless parents? (maybe poking from their backs, like Bambalad, because attached to head would make him unstable)

other than that they are the same, have the tube/hose, etc.

A Nabler + Nabler Guy set would be cool

Yes.
Sorry, that was what I meant.
Would be pretty cool in my opinion.

^ with accompanying straight mouth attachment. They could include colors seen in Classic Nabler wave 2: yellow, blue, pink with graffiti.

^ If so, I wouldn't be surprised we'll see GIDs as well.

After the rush of Japan Show, i'll send Ash a question via the FB group and IG... asking if Wave 2 sales were good and if we'd get wave 3.

Purple guys arrived in France today. Two of them. Separate orders.
Great stuff, tight body. Still figuring out what to do with the second one.
Trade for a black, keep, or sell it...

I agree about the head, I thought they were too big too, but in hand they look great!

Lucky you
I sent you a PM in case you decide to sell.

Black was rare in wave 2, so i think most people would want to keep him.

do think if a 3rd wave comes(ha!) i want be able to resist any longer... do seem like fun to pose.

Guys, if  you can post up color  ideas and  interest,  I can show Ash next Friday

A nice list makes it easy to convince...
