amazing figure, amazingly retarded price.....*sigh*

that price is so stupid

for a 50 dollar gargamel toy, and about 10 cents worth of one shot.

Buy It Now for only $450!!!

Would look better without the pinstriping, in my opinion.

I love pin striping, but haven't seen it done on a toy the way I'd buy it.

I've seen it done on a couple solids that worked for me.
Clear? Wouid seem hard to pull off in a way that I would like.
The clear green skullbee with the subtle driplines worked for me.

i'd like to see a pinstripe up close. anyone know if it's done really clean? (or any ideas on how it is done?)

Maybe a pinstriping brush...probably not the proper name for it tho.

The stripes are very clean.

All the pin strippers I know started as architects.

lol

If I remember right these were about $100 retail at the show and there were 2 different Desuras available. The pinstripe on all his figures is amamzing clean. I think he did 10 each.

ugh! $100 retail?? that's it? geezus, I would love to have a Cronic Pinstripe Desura!! Well worth it IMO.

most of the pin strippers I know began as architects and then went into custom cars!

facetious

There's probably better money in Pinstripping vs. Architecture, believe me...

+1 lol

LOL. Yeah it's not a rich man's sport.

I read somewhere that something like 70% of the people who went to school for Architecture were working in a different field.

yes..ts called ' grocery bagging'.

I saw some pinstriped cronics in Taiwan,in real life, they where pretty cool.

not 450 clams cool tho.

10,000 yean at the show. I bought one of these for myself, the pinstriping is actually amazing, completely perfect. I usually don't go for these, but this was insane. However is jacking the prices is smoking crack.

His pinstriping seems to be getting more eloborate as well, compared to some I've already got/seen.

I've noticed that too. The WF Black Zyurai Asu with gold stripes is far more elaborate than the original set of black Zyurai's he did around a year ago. Since then it seems the stripe work has gotten more and more intricate. But the cleanness and sharpness of the lines has been there all along.

i wish i could pin stripe, i would pin stripe everything i own. i still don't have any cronic figures, i really need to change that.

Hey Jess !
If you wanna learn,get a proper pinstripe brush and some One-Shot and start practicing.Some of the best Stripers I know Are Chicks !

thanks for the advice! where could i get One-shot? i don't know how steady my hand is, i have seen a few guys work, and it seems like a talent beyond my scope. but who would it hurt to try, my ed big daddy roth books will be getting a work out
ps: give those bad ass pin striper ladies you know a kiss for me.
