Ha ha, rebbargmall, I like that. I've never had that deck, and I've always liked the shape but never really thought about getting one until the yellow one came out. And then I thought they might have a blem deck, and then a 15% discount, and well, impulse buy took over my brain. Perhaps in the near future..
The geegah looks good, but I'm kinda tired of seeing black decks. I ran across this Guerrero dagger on ebay today, thought it was a pretty sweet colorway imo https://www.ebay.com/itm/232080591991. They should do another iron gate with some color.
I wish they would have reissued more pointy nose TG daggers. The two they did weren't even OG color ways. I also don't understand why PP sticks to one color option per deck at a time. Select offers tons of color options and they are all OG colors.
This SnS Geegah colourway works fairly well, but I'm pretty sick of black decks as well. That dagger is a nice example. Haven't seen that colourway before.
Maybe for at least one series PP could put out a list of OG colors and let people vote, but not say which colors were chosen until the decks were released.
I'm partial to black colorways, but technically I think they're doing these s&s wrong. The deck should be dipped to match the color of the outer rib bones on the right side. This reissue should be a gray/silver dip and the previous should have been dark blue.
Yep, agree @HawkHair this is just a lazy way to make things cheaper imo.
The reason why I hate this black one is because I used to have one of those and there was no way to see the background. U can barely see it on the dark blue one. Just..the mind boggles
The dark blue done recently was done as an og too....skully has both, and if you look in the other forum you'll see the pic of the reissue and og side by side. Besides ripper size, ripper darkness, colour of stripe Powell Peralta is placed on, and the stripes not being the same...well the boards are pretty much the same. As skully pointed out though stripes varied with a lot of the og rippers...
