Unfortunately, even with LED UV black lights, Garnet and Steven still can't hold a charge.

Funny my Steven glows really red, but my Amethyst glow is really weak whereas your is really strong.

What are you charging them with? UV black lights seem to work better than other lights on most glow POPs but not as well on red glow POPs. Not sure why though.

For the red use regular light, I use a flashlight on Steven and he turns super red really quick. I'm sure a UV would works better on amethyst.

Nice work, it looks fantastic!!! Yeah those two are not very strong glowers which is a bummer because Amethyst and Pearl glow really nicely. So the set doesn't display well together under black light or in the dark.

Here's with a regular flashlight not led. Sorry the cameras not the best.

Thanks! And thanks a ton for all your advice on it! Doubt I'd have put this together without it!

Yea, sadly Steven and Garnet do make the glow SU set hard to display together, but, being a SU fan, I can't not display them together lol

It's disappointing that the glow on the Steven Universe pops is so different, but I love the show and when I picked up Steven as GitD I wanted to have all the others as GitD as well. Still need Pearl and Amethyst but the glow on them seems to be better than the red on Garnet and Steven. PS: I hoping for a new wave with Peridot and Lapis soon!

His glow is fantastic!

He has a great glow Kevin! It's good they used actual glow vinyl instead of paint on this guy!

First post in this thread but I've admired it for some time
I'm sure someone else can get a better shot in their batcases.

Postby **Vinyl4Blood** » Sat Oct 01, 2016 10:54 pm

Looks good to me. Looks like he glows in all the right places.

I don't really collect minis, but I make an exception for the glowy ones :-)

Sweet! I didn't buy any any of the HT boxes this time around, but Josh is setting me up with an extra he had :-)

Thanks again Josh!

No problem! You're the undisputed glow master and it seemed a shame for you not to have one!

Got my JD gitd pop in today and I'm so happy the box was in mint condition and the pop looks awesome. Another bonus is the glow on this pop is so strong the second picture below was taken in my dim hallway and he was only exposed to natural light for a little and he was glowing so intense, the picture doesn't do it justice trust me.

Postby **janos89** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 3:06 pm

Now I'm just waiting on my preorder of all the regular gow pops and I'll be a happy guy.

Postby **thejosh2010** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 3:49 pm

Some more eerily alluring, funko glowing goodness....

An original Funko character that is one of my favorites, Bone Daddy!!

Postby **Dread_Omen 8** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 10:59 pm

I'm eagerly waiting for one of you devilish rogues to flash a picture of that sweet Gitd Wolfman. I want to see if his glow is as interesting as his odd blue coloring would suggest.

Spoiler: show

Now that's some sexy glow! I'm glad Funko is using some good powders/paints/vinyl for glow now!
