Hey all - I'm J Goldberg, Community Manager for Irrational Games (I can confirm my name via Twitter or email if you'd like - @OneLetter), but I wanted to stop in and answer a few of the questions I've seen pop up regarding the DK bottles.
- Why did the MoC bottles contain water, yet the DK bottles do not?
This purely comes down to Customs. Having a 100% sealed container with a mysterious liquid inside (it's actually just plain old water), is a really tough thing to get through Customs if we wanted to ship these all over the world. Sometimes they breeze right through, but other times it can take months, and this allows our fans to get their bottles very quick.
- Why are the DK bottles listed as "First Edition"?
To put it bluntly, it's because we have no idea what the demand is for these. There's only been one other bottle on the market before this, and that was in a VERY limited capacity. If there's a bunch of fans out there that really want this bottle, and we managed to sell through all 500 super fast (and there was still a non-ebay market for them), this leaves the door open for us to do a second run, and please those fans, without them paying a ridiculous amount in the second-hand market.
- Why is the signature on the front?
This was not an easy decision, but it's mainly because on a handful of the bottles, the numbering on the bottom (done by our manufacturer) took up almost the entire underside, with no room left for a signature. Due to that, we made the call to put all the signatures on the front for consistency and so there would be no surprises or squashed signatures.

This is one of the reasons we specifically state "Not a toy" in the description. Some of them are rock solid though, as we carried one around by the flame for a few minutes just to test the strength. Please DO NOT do this with your bottle. That particular bottle was fine, but it is a different material than the rest of the bottle, so do be careful.
I'll be around these forums now and again trying to answer questions, but feel free to reach out to me on Twitter if you have any questions ever regarding the IG Store.
