    Umbrella Corp

    Does anyone know if they are ever going to make lowers again?

    I sold my Lower last month.

    But what what I’ve heard, I guess Umbrella is a pet project for the owner. He does stuff and releases items when he wants and has the time.

    I guess there is new batch of lowers coming, but when is anybody’s guess. They were supposed to be released at the end of last year and never were.

    I would guess they will, it is certainly one of the things people seem to want most from the company. I've had one of the early ones, it was well machined and the logo was very clean. I no longer have it, but that is a different story.

    Kinda like that 1955 Chevy Bel Air I owned right before I PCS’d to Germany....

    A story best served with a cold one. Or 19.

    What is the mystique about Umbrella Corp lowers that makes them so desirable?
    Extremely high quality?
    Scarcity?
    I’m genuinely curious, I have never heard why.

    No, something far more important: Milla Jovovich

    Novelty of the roll mark to children of the 90’s & 00s that played the games, and scarcity.

    I had a UCWRG lower that I recently sold off, quality was never a word I associated with that lower. It was from the 3rd gen run I’ve come to find out, and it was an absolute horrible finish on the lower. But maybe I just got a bad one from that run.

    Definitely not Milla whatever.

    I have two of their early lowers, I bought after joining the queue on BookFace. The lowers aren't anything special, but that logo

    The logo is what I'm wanting the lower for, nothing more.

    The other day I'm at coffee and a guy walks in wearing an Umbrella Corp tee shirt, full color logo. I ask him, what do you have, I have the type 23 grips on all my builds. He goes 'What?' That is when I found out it was also a game.
