I didn't know I had to charge it with a black light. Thank you! Now I know.

Thank you thejosh2010, reliable as always. I bet she glows pretty fairly.

Sorry it's taken me longer to post this than to take the picture itself Get that gitd She-Hulk

I just love the glow Pops so much. Wonderful pic Josh, she looks fantastic! :thumbleft:

Here are a couple more pics of She-Hulk with the black light LEDs turned on and off. This shows how she compares to other glowers, she's not as bright but she does glow pretty nicely.

Thanks gents, always happy to help with a few photos :-)

I don't know what made me think of this but I don't think I ever posted it, way back when the glow BvS set came out at WM I bought an extra set and wired them with internal LEDs and put them in a little acrylic case. I made a little shadow box in the back with the BvS logo. Strangely enough the internal lights do not charge the glow, so when you turn the lights off they're dark! But of course they do still glow if you charge them from an external source (like in the last pic).

I wonder if there are Pops that glow in different colors other than the usual green? For example, I'd love a blue glow in the dark Pop. Does anyone know of any?

Postby **thejosh2010** » Thu Nov 10, 2016 12:25 pm

That looks sick too Tres!!! Loving your glowing pics!

Yeah, there are a bunch that glow different colors. You can probably find some in this thread but a list off the top of my head (not complete at all)

Amethyst HT GID: Sort of blue
Pearl HT GID: Yellow
Steven Universe, Lion mystery mini, and Garnet HT GID: red
Orange Catbug: orange

Yep, there is a blue Cheshire Cat, Catbug, Duck Dodgers, some gitd Baymax's had blue glowing parts... I'm sure there are a lot of others too, but those come to mind first... There were a few weaker red glowers too, such as gitd Antman & Ken Kaneki, along with an orange glowing Catbug!

Oh, my gosh, that Cheshire Cat Pop is gorgeous! I love how it glows. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Roger and Josh!!

Mr Piggy, in addition to those mentioned above, the two Godzillas glow blue. They actually glow better than they appear to in these pics:

Firestorm glows blue although he's not as impressive as some others:

Here's the blue Catbug that Josh mentioned:

Tres....Do you find some glow blue under black light but not under regular charged lighting? I most often use a black light flashlight to charge them, but it seems they don't all glow the same if I use a regular flashlight to charge them.

Yes! And not only that, but some glow in slightly different colors under fluorescent black light versus LED black light! There's other oddities, like sometimes under black light the head and body will glow at different brightness and/ or color but with the lights out it all looks the same. Strange stuff :-)

TRU released a gitd Raven that i wasnt aware of. She's already popping up on Ebay. Anybody here seen one in the wild yet? Kind of an odd choice for a glower, but i doubt anybody is too upset by that.

I hadn't seen those new Ravens at all Roger!? Thanks for sharing!!

Postby **treswright** » Mon Nov 14, 2016 10:19 pm

The new Ravens are on the way, I'll post comparison pics of the purple one when they arrive. The purple MLP is the worst glower in my collection, I'm not really expecting the Raven to be any better (probably molded in the same vinyl) but we'll see!

Postby **treswright** » Mon Nov 21, 2016 12:06 pm

MrsPlusOne stopped by this weekend and had her new HT box with her! We took out the Jack Dorbz and Sally keychain and snapped a couple of pics. It was still daylight out so we were taking them in the closet to shoot the "dark" pic, they actually glow better than the 2nd pic looks.

Postby **thejosh2010** » Mon Nov 21, 2016 12:49 pm

I need that dorbz!!! Congratulations Tres!!

Holiday Freddy arrived! My first Freddy :freddy1:

He glows quite well, not the brightest but between Batman & Superman.

I also got a Deadite from China, no blood splatter like there should be, but he's super bright.

Congrats, your collection and display looks great! I haven't even taken my Freddy out of the box yet, things have been a little crazy preparing for Christmas vacation! What's up with the Pred, is that a custom? I don't remember a glow Pred.

By the way, if those little baseball cups at the end of the case bug you like they did me, you can pry them off with a screwdriver. They're just held on with double-faced tape.

Yea Predator is custom, some Ebay seller in Texas had him and I took a chance...actually one of the best glowers I have, I haven't figured out what kind of paint they used! Here's a glory shot for you guys!

I'm curious what you guys think happened with this Deadite...factory reject? Seems too good to be a fake, but lacks the blood splatter (& no box).

Does anyone have a picture of the GITD Chase Snagglepuss by chance and what color does it glow?

Postby **treswright** » Thu Feb 02, 2017 12:20 pm

Time for some catch up, these are pics I posted on IG over the last few months but never posted here:

GS exclusive glow Springtrap:

Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute from the Dorbz Ridez:

Their Ridez don't glow, but they do activate really nicely under black light:

This little dude doesn't glow but I wired him up with LEDs as a Christmas gift for my son:

Funko Shop glow Freddy under black light:

And with lights off:

Target exclusive glow Tyrant with some extra glow paint on his claw, eyes and... what are those pustules? Yuck :-)

Funko Shop Super Deluxe vinyl glow Batman, this is one big glowy hunk of vinyl :-D

We bought a few of the FNAF HT glow minis, they glow -really- well! Will try to get some pics posted soon.

Thank you! I've gotten so much glowy stuff now that I'm trying to decide whether to do a whole Detolf case just for glow stuff or what, I need to expand my display area one way or the other!

Believe me, I have WAY more stuff in boxes then I have out on display :-)

One day I hope to get everything out though!

Thanks Josh! I did others too, one for my oldest daughter (below), another for my other daughter, a DBZ one for her BF, another one for my GF. It was a busy week before Christmas trying to get them all finished!

There's videos and more pics on my IG feed, I don't think you need an account to view it:

I have this one Kratos Poseiden's Revenge the NYCC exclusive. But it doesn't have GITD sticker. So does it actually glow?

Yes indeed, he does. That NYCC Kratos, along with the Adamantium Skeleton Vault Boy, are some of the rare GITD that lack stickers.
