    I had been keeping an eye on this piece from a vinyl re-caster for a few years, and finally found myself in a position to take a chance on it around this time last year.

    For a re-cast kit, I didn't hold out high expectations which is kind of good.
    He wasn't bad to cut, and shaped well w/ heat, but his torso is always a few degrees away from reverting to its bootleg shaped roots.

    He stands around 33" (that's a pachinko machine behind him for scale, as well as an 8" mego spiderman in his claw).
    He has joints near his shoulders, at his waist (misshapen), at his wrists, and his claws can be opened and closed depending on how wide-open you cut the back of the joint.

    I don't know that I'm going to paint him, I've always had a thing for unpainted models etc.

    I believe he's a boot of a kiayodo release? I'm not well versed.

    Just thought some of you might dig him.

    WILD! Is this something that he had done once and then you were waiting for him to actually sell?

    It's an eBay seller who has nothing but recast model kits and his finished example pics seem to never match the raw kit pics in his listings and his sizing/scales seemed to always be off.
