Glow in the Dark Info
I just got mystic in natural and since then, I’ve been thinking about glow in the dark from bad dragon lately. What do the each of the colors look like? Is it true you have to charge it up with sun or a blacklight? If so, I read about blacklight flashlights and thought that was really cool and then I looked it up on amazon and it was the biggest mistake I made... What sort of information can you give about glow in the dark.
My collection was starting to get too big for this, so I moved it to my profile, but my other two lists are below.
See this?
I wish this color scheme for this tentacle would come back!,

Re: Glow in the Dark Info
The green and cyan are the brightest GITD colors!
Green takes hardly any charging; cyan takes a little bit, but it still glows super easy. I have a toy with a violet GITD spooky seconds highlight that I think I've been able to see maybe once. Definitely would need a UV lamp to charge that one up
No experience with the darker shade of GITD blue though, sorry.
For color examples, look for the BD Gallery page.

I don't think a UV flashlight will do very much (I could be wrong though). I have a UV bulb that's 20 watts I think? It's large, and cost about $25. And it doesn't produce a lot of light. Enough to light a small area (UV is good for charging, but also, the GiTD toys look nice in UV light in general). I think UV light rays must require a lot of energy. Anyway, I think it's worth it to buy a UV bulb or a fixture, if you have a GiTD toy.
In the Bad Dragon Gallery thread, there's a time-lapse GIF showing the GiTD colors and which ones last the longest.

I have a cheap 10€ UV flashlight, does the trick just fine for my one GITD toy! You kinda gotta rotate the toy, but it still works

Re: Glow in the Dark Info
A simple incandescent black light, which can be purchased at any hardware or 'big box'* store, should be sufficient to charge any glow in the dark toy. They are inexpensive, only about $5-6, and fit any standard lamp socket. It's all I have ever used, even on my custom dark GITD blue BD made for me. Not really that dark, it's just as dark as they could make and still glow.

Here's a video showing a $5 uv flashlight charging up some GITD things:
