    Probably an unpopular opinion nowadays, but original Mignola Rocky > current Rocky (similarly, in my mind, with GotG, but the shoutout in the recent flick was nice).

    ^ Just to be snicky, I need to mention that our little friend RR was first birthed from the mind of Bill Mantlo and first rendered in pencil by Keith Giffen and / or Sal Buscema (depending on who you ask!), but, yes, it was Mignola's pencils and whoever the hell picked out those pretty colors that imprinted in me a life-long love for the character:

    And yes, it was the MediBear Consortium's decision to depict the correct version of him that pushed me over the edge:

    That, and the fact that he was stupid cheap!

    Thanks, I was honetly speechless I was able to get that set for the price I did, I have spent more on the minis in the past.

    Just an update: I took a magic eraser to the figure a bit and it did remove some of the marker, but it also removes the OG paint as well. It's only a semi-successful experiment as the marker really does seem to be soaked into the vinyl pretty deeply.

    @TattooDougHardy Try Isopropyl. It shouldn't harm the paint. I would try it somewhere inconspicuous though, I dunno if it might make the marker bleed or something. Unfortunately I think sharpie is dye based.

    You don't want to go too heavy with the alcohol treatments either as it can dry out the vinyl. I doubt it would ever reach the point of getting brittle or anything that you might notice, but you could see a loss of the 'sheen' on the surface, if there's any remaining that is.

    Whelp, the arrival of this fellow should pretty well wrap up the easiest and least expensive toyquest of my entire career.

    Now what?

    My Secretoy obsession is quite literally an obsession. Not to the point of compromising, of course. :lol: Thank you, though! The Kusogon is just fantastic!!! I missed out on a painted red micro run recently, so this aided the sting!

    Both of these (and the great photos!) make me very happy. Lovely toys Jason, I always have great respect for your taste. Finally get to see a proper photo of that omake too, which I have been waiting for. Congrats on some blissful vinyl acquisitions.
