Based on the pictures, they'll be like a v2 of the Fulton's I really like the pictures so far. I just fell in love with it when I saw the pictures. It would be epic if they did a cultural theme when printing these Fultons.
Um, they have nothing at all to do with the Clip Joints besides the designer... It says Fulton's because they're designed by Brad Fulton. They aren't a V2 of anything.
Notice me using the words "like," meaning they'll be similar to the Fulton's, but not identical. I can't wait for them to be released!
They aren't similar at all
The only thing is that they are designed by the same people
Guys? We have NO IDEA whether they have anything in common or not, because we haven't seen more than glimpses of the box, never mind not a single card! They could be ANYTHING at all - you don't know, so stop fussing about it, would you? Honestly, you're comparing a known quantity with a practically unknown quantity... Might as well be comparing gibbons to monk fish...
That's exactly what this forum is for!! To talk about what we might think is coming...
We have a good idea that these are related to the Fulton's Clip Joint because of the same signature type thing on the box. The trailer from the first Fulton's gave a hint to there being more decks with the "to be continued" at the end of the video.
The Chinatown would go well with the film noir type of theme Dan, Dave, and Fulton are going with. You've got their first deck that has the classic black and white film type of look. To follow that up you have this deck with the Chinatown deck that has the film noir with a dash of color feel (Keeping in mind Chinatown was the most well known film noir movie with color).
I know that's what the forum is for, but when you get a couple of people saying "It's this," and "No, it's that," followed with "No, you're wrong, it's this," back and forth, all based completely on sheer speculation, it gets tedious. Neither one can be thought of as right, because there's too much missing information, but they're talking as though they own a brick of these already and are true experts on the topic of Fulton's decks.
All we really know is this:
The deck box has a red-and-gold Chinatown/Chinese New Year theme, and it has "Fulton's" written on it in the same fashion as it appears on Fulton's Clip Joint decks.
That's about it. Nothing else, other than the release date being Monday, based on all the hint-dropping.
Could it be another "Fulton's" series deck - Fulton's Noodle Shop, perhaps?
I have no idea and neither does anyone else other than the insiders working at D&D. As far as the script Fulton's "logo", he doesn't sign everything like that - he developed the D&D hand lotion, and his name on that is type-written, classic Courier style, as if from a manual typewriter. It actually says it's from "Fulton's Apothecary" - and I was silly enough to check LA listings for a business by that name, obviously to no avail.
So batting around what it is or isn't like a ping-pong ball gets us nowhere and is a pretty pointless exercise. It's like watching a couple of five-year-olds doing the old "finger a half-inch away, 'He's touching me!,' 'I'm not touching you!'" game. And it doesn't take long watching that exercise in futility to get tired of it... No offense to the "combatants" here, gang - we all engage in silliness now and then.
