Paul Black 2013 Introduced Medians

When it comes to new introduction this year, Paul Black takes the cake.  By my count there are a total of 43 introductions.  Here are his 27 median introductions (though I think that MDBs are really not medians by definition. If they are the medians are really not in the middle of anything!)

I've heard comments that there are just too many new intros.  Not sure how I feel about that.  The MTBs Huggable You and Lilac Wings are a just too retro. Don't seem to be breaking any new ground.  My faves are at the end.

Rain In Spain SDB is just the blue I love, but Fun In The Sun is my pick for an SDB with a wonderful form and color. Glitzorama is a so showy and I am a sucker for that, but I have to say it's the worst name since 'Splashacata.'  Of course all of this is based on photos...
