    Anyone want to trade their regular mask for my bloody Tear of God chase version.

    Never been a fan of splatter and this is no exception.

    Drop me a PM!

    Re: New Secret Base

    Thanks Tom for posting that. I did find another pic in the trade bait. Here: [​IMG]

    @ Andy, I don't like splatter either. Especially on that one. SO yeah, trade for what you want man-S'what I say being that I have to look at my toys the most. I'd rather enjoy looking at the fucking things than not...rare or not.

    (Okay, I know, I'm new-Please be easy on me :mrgreen: )

    Actually, it's simply marbled green (with gold flake) and black (with pink flake).

    I also received the chase Tear of God DBM. The red tears don't overwhelm the figure as much as I thought they might. Overall, one of the nicest DBMs in my opinion.

    Is anyone familiar with the reference to 'Tear of God' and the bloody tears? I thought the figure made reference to the statues that are reported to cry blood. However, the header for the figure has a golden torii gate (as you might find at the entrance to a Shinto shrine) with blood dripping over it... so maybe it refers to something in Japanese culture?

    I just picked up the new usugrow hasadhu skull, the clear smoke with black lame and silver paint/rub for the lettering. My issue is there is a faint, but noticeable silver thumbprint right above the eye socket, whoever was working on it in the factory must have some extra ink on their hands.

    Question:
    is it worth contacting SB about? will they do anything for me or should i just suck it up? Wanted to see if anyone here has ever encountered anything like this before i go crying to hiddy & co ;)

    Re: New Secret Base

    If its not over any printing, can you just use acetone to get it off?

    Hey i didnt even think of that! See imglad i came here first. Its totally isolated from any other paint so it shouldnt be a problem. Just use standard acetone like nail polish remover?

    Be very careful with the acetone. You need to get it off the vinyl quickly, otherwise it will eat through it.

    I was thinking that, thanks for the heads up james. ill try this tonight and hopefully i dont mess it up.

    The new usugrow set is pretty nice overall. The clear lame vinyl works well on the RI but the skull is sooo dark that without a direct backlight it looks pretty much solid. Happy to adda hasadhu to the collection as ive been looking at them for awhile now :)

    not completely, which is why its pretty difficult to move the arms. takes a bit of effort.

    That is what I thought - with enough 'effort' everything can be moved ;)
