Looks like the Icon shape too.

This is like the Sports Direct bats - the flare and the apex which are the 6sixy and octane shapes with different stickers

Says Icon on the back of the side profile too. I would imagine that this is an Australian version of the Icon similar to how Kooky released a 'Verve' which was just a Kahuna with NZ coloured stickers? Can't explain the pink though...

I went about a month or two ago to get my replacement for my broken bradbury.
They had no GM's or Slaz or Adidas at all, but had some very nice SS Kumar sangakkara bats.
If you can mate wait until june/july.

Typo error, I meant June  :( , I was planning to sell the Toro so I could go down there and just wing it, see what felt good, any bargains for the grade etc.

Will go to Albion, that's what i was told, just making sure.

No mate, You've got it all wrong. I wish I could live in the UK simply for the bat's. You have no Idea!

Looks like the IT man wasn't quite with it when designing these, quite like the pink though.
Title: Re: GM Mogul - Exclusive to Australia
Post by: Kulli on May 20, 2014, 09:04:36 AM
so they've done a (No Swearing Please) job of photoshopping new stickers and name onto an Icon, not much to get excited about in my book.

Yeh how about the super short handle on the profile shot. Pretty shoddy work...

It's actually the same handle/grip that got re-scaled onto every view. Very amateur Photoshop job!

Saw a box full of these from a distance when we visited the GM factory for a tour and re-education a couple of months back. It's a deeper purple colour if i remember correctly. Wasn't privy to any further info unfortunately, i'm not entirely sure i should even have been sniffing around in the area where i was, but it is hard to resist when wandering a facility like GM's.

Your timing couldn't get much worse, june is the very tail end of last seasons stock, July is generally the earliest we get GM.

It is a deeper purple, will be used by a blond aussie allrounder.

To clear a few things up, in regards to the photo it seems to be a mock up from a design process but i am sure a real photo will surface at some point soon. Also in regards to the profile it is a new shape for this Australian season.
Jake I'm sure you would have been one of the first to see these and the Sports Direct range.

Looks like Saxon Sports have an updated image, with a slight tweak in colours

Also judging from Playerscricket.co.nz, the Argon could be moving to the new style stickers

Bump this up, love the shape on this. 

Does anybody know if the shape is coming to the UK?  I am happy if GM ditch the name Mogul (and the purple) but I am keen to get my greedy paws on one here.

Is Ed or another of the GM bods around to let us know?

I have just bought an Original Mogul from a local retailer in Perth. I have to say that the shape is pretty similar to my 2014 Icon F4.5 and a slightly similar pick up too. Overall though a good bat but not good enough to knock over my Six6 original as my game bat lol.
