I just used a cheap $1-2 UV Flashlight from eBay. I say it worked pretty well.

You mean for display? I have a bat case lined with expensive UV LED strips, but I also have a shelf with a cheapo Walmart fluorescent tube over it and frankly the cheap setup looks just as good.

Now this IS a cool thread. I only have one GITD pop, the Baxter Stockman from this year's SDCC Nickelodeon. But that is enough to make me realize GITD pops are wayyy cool. I def plan to get more in the future..

I don't collect very much Star Wars at all. But I have a weakness for GITD. I may have to buy this :freddy3:

My newest GITD addition. It looks way better in person. I need a better camera lol

An older one had to see the glow with a uv light. Love how bright they glow.

Yup, display. I'll keep what you said in mind.

GameStop is your best bet. My friend told me she bought it at GameStop.

Oh my....I simply can't wait to get into boxes of goodies with a black light flashlight shining after seeing ya'lls awesome glowing pics!! So many awesome glowers and I haven't even checked them out yet! :eek:

Postby **coopscohen** » Thu Sep 21, 2017 1:32 am

My wallet is happy that there are only 3 GITD NYCC exclusives lol

Postby **Njtree_82** » Fri Sep 22, 2017 8:07 am

My hand full of GITD don't seem to glow that great. Maybe I need to grab a UV light at spirit Halloween

Getting in on the glow pops. Grab nycc batrog and maleficent Chase. I’m digging them
The pictures in this thread are gonna cost me a bit

I’m so tempted to buy a mystery box because I need this GITD Chase but I don’t collect KH lol

. I’ll probably just wait for prices to settle.

I saw that pic on FB as well and I'm not sure what they did, maybe they used an SLR camera and did a long exposure but Balrog is a crap glower. It barely activates under black light and in the dark it is so dim that you have to rush it into a very dark room and let your eyes adjust to even see that it glows. It is one of the bigger glowy Pop disappointments I've had because I was really looking forward to it's release. I have a couple of pics of it I'll try to post up.

EDIT- here are the pics. First pic is under black light, and I mean I was holding it up right next to the light! It doesn't even look like it glows under black light. Second pic is in the darkness, it took 3 or 4 tries to get a pic at all because it glows so dim. I had to charge it up and then turn the lights out and immediately snap the pic before it faded to the point that my iPhone camera couldn't pick it up. I still love the Pop but man it could have been so amazing if it glowed well.

Oh wow. Quite a difference and a definite bummer. I grabbed one after seeing how awesome the glow was lol

After seeing the bright yellow Balrog online, I thought the whole body would be that nice yellow like Fluttershy with paint on top.

I got super lucky and a new Freddy arrived at my doorstep! I didn't even know it was coming! $\:D/$

Same boat here, cannot get a decent glow. Most disappointing glow I have got

Awesome stuff guys. I still need to glow my Balrog!

Postby **bspears82** » Mon Oct 16, 2017 8:00 am

I like how everyone has the black lights setup in their cases. I need to do that with mine so they will glow all the time

Postby **d3monicwolv3s** » Wed Oct 18, 2017 11:31 pm

Reptar glows pretty well. His body and his bottom jaw glow really bright under black light. His head is hollow, and has a different look to it than the body (which I expected, similar to the glow gir, but not as bad looking).

Wish the teeth had some glow. The bottom teeth are hard to make out in the dark with the tounge behind it.

Just picked up Miguel from Coco from Toys R us the glow in the dark is amazing.

Wow, thanks for sharing the Elvira glow pic! She looks phenomenal! As for the NYCC Balrog, I'm quite shocked it is glowing like that...

My glow is more along the lines of yours Tres. Don't know how they managed that purple glow.. I charged mine with a blacklight and an led flashlight to achieve this moderate glow..but it took a couple tries...

Anyone get the Kylo or Rey with GITD lightsabers? Those looked truly awsome

I need that TRU Coco in my life.

Haven't gotten any new GITD pops lately but i have a number of them i think i need to dedicate a display for.

The glow on the coco pop looks great!!!

Postby **toro423** » Thu Oct 19, 2017 12:36 pm

Here are a couple new ones. Nothing special. Blacklight charge for few seconds then a picture with an Iphone 7+, stock settings. I'm surprised to hear Balrog glow sucks for some. I really like the glow on mine.
