I have a skullbrain with a squishy brain, and the brain seems to be stretched out a bit. Is there any way to shrink it up so it fits tighter? Do all the squishy brains seem to fit loose?
Was it like that when you bought it ?? I dont think it became that way. It might have been born that way. I know there is some sort of "softener" they use when thay make vinyl. the more added the more "squishy" it is. So if it was like that from the jump I dont think there is anything you can do.
The squishy brain on my clear skullbrain is not as snug as the non-squishy brains. Don't know if it's old style or if they oversized them a bit so they would not tear during assembly (easier to slip on.)
All the squishy brains seem bigger than the solid brains. My all clear and waldar brains are loose fitting. However, the brain on my all clear seems tacky or sort of sticky too. Overly so. Anyone else notice that about theirs? 'moco, you have problems with those few you painted up?
Old Skullbrains had the squishy brains. Because they are softer, they also weep a bit more, making them tackier. A little soap and water will clean them right up and will not hurt them at all. Also - in case no one has ever noticed -there are 2 styles of boxing arms as well. The very first full-color version, and the Kuro prototype have thinner, longer arms which were redone for all subsequent versions. Cool huh?
on the minor variations topic, are some skullbees taller than others because of normal variations in the figures from the same production run, or is this due to different factories? My regular v-day ghostfighter has got a giraffes neck compared to all the other ones.
yeah man I noticedthis with pigeonfarmboys post of GF. Some of the heads are more seperated and fater , some are closer and thinner. Weird
I'm not in front of them, but i think the red and the superghost fighter (and i presume the orange) are shorter than all the ones that came after too.
That is the one I'm talking about. The clear BaseZero Brain... I've noticed in pics the walder brain looks kind of the same.
augustwest, that's a great picture! Is he filled with caviar? when did SB stop making the squishy brain figs, anyway?
the squishy ones can't be painted due to their chemical makeup I believe, they moved to semi-squishy by the battle set,(and I guess the first painted solid colored brains) and then the secretter boss is the new standard non shifting/weeping brain style, hard as hell.
I thought Brian said something about in the long run the paint sloughs off? I couldn't find that tidbit so maybe I just chalked it up to the lack of paint on the o.g squishy clear brains. I defer.
Yes, yes he is, he is filled with 1lb. of the finest Russian Beluga. here's a link to the caviar... http://www.911caviar.com/miva/merchant. ... ian_beluga FS: Clear BaseXZero skullbrain...$1600 obo.
that's how we roll up here in jägerville...a little skullbrain caviar and a bottle of Cris...laid back, dawg...just shake that roe out of the neck like poppin' pez! the vinyl does get a little stinky after a while, but if you're gonna play, ya gotta pay!
