Nice find Matt! I'm glad that they used the black slingage to match the black Alien color, but they should have gone Yellow for the big one to pair with the #2 Camalot. They already have the Red color for the #1. Pre-production photo below:
"Totem Cams
We are afraid that the new Totem Cam sizes (0.50 and 1.80) production is going to be delayed. During this end of season, we decided to do our best to face the big demand of products that already are in the 2015 catalogue.
The new Totem Cam sizes will be included in the 2016 catalogue, and they will be available from 1 March 2016.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you, especially in these Christmas days.
Receive a warm greeting from the Totem crew."

The Totem Cam Colors (not the basics) are off so the Black Sling color DOES NOT mean it's black Alien Size.
Totem Cam ; Alien
Black : Blue (Totem is a little bigger)
Blue : Green
Yellow : Gray
Purple: Red
Green: .75 BD
Red: 1 BD
Orange: 2 BD
If I have one gripe with the Totem sizing, it's the LACK of the Yellow Alien size. It Jumps from Green Alien to Grey Alien. I notice this gap. The Yellow Alien Size is money, 2nd only to the Green in my opinion. Yellow Alien is about 0.4 X4/C4 Size so even BD didn't make that big a leap. Same goes for their Basics. Tweaking the sizing to eliminate the Grey Alien made the jump a wee bit too big. It's not as noticeable as the regular Totems but it's there.

Anyone know where to pick up some totem blacks? I can't seem to find them at my regular stops.

The blacks are backordered 1-2 months everywhere I know to look.

I have only one Totem Cam Blue which I bought to replace my broken green Alien. It turned out that Totem Blue is bigger than Green Alien and little smaller that Yellow Alien, basically in between. Similar to 0.3 BD, also blue

Anyone have or used the new orange Totem? I've got doubles from black to red but am
wondering if they are that much better than my #2's. seems like the larger the Totem the less I use it, at least for aid.

That sucker is not coming out! Love my Totems. I've had my set for 5 years now, and they have worn like iron, and still smooth as silk.

I now have doubles black to orange, and love the orange, which I got just 2 weeks ago. Am not doing any aid climbing. I find that Totems stick very well. They seem more secure imo, but I feel like I'm cheating using Totems - so easy to place in so many situations.
