 Re: New Secret Base
I love this skullwing bar its insanely white teeth. I think they should have been left unpainted, the GID marbling though is perfect

 Re: New Secret Base
Hmm, I don't know how I feel about the paint on these... But this gives me hope for NYCC skullwings!

 Look at my teeth they will hypnotize you. It's a nice wing otherwise.

 Re: New Secret Base
I was thinking the same, I really don't understand why you would want to paint these in the first place. If I ever score one I'll definitely consider giving him an acetone bath.

Not sure, I hope to eventually see one in real life and decide then... I find these are great toys unpainted, can't really see the need to add paint to a marbled glitter gid but just my pov... Judging by the shots I kind of agree with some of the comments above, those teeth imo could've remained unpainted.

Simply Amazing. The Skullwings have been crushing it, I just wish they'd make a run for online sales.

 Re: New Secret Base
Guess I'm in the minority here, but I really like the white teeth.

 Re: New Secret Base
Y'all talking crazy!
In the scheme of things the marbled and unpainted angle is a new phenomenon for 'em. The vast majority of production Wings for the last 8 years have all had painted teeth!
Just be thankful for a new incarnation and embrace the paint . . . if yer get chance!

 Re: New Secret Base
If I got one of these, I would repaint the teeth in super-realistic, rotty/stained fashion. I think that would look great with the rest of the figure.
/End Andy-inflaming crazy talk.

 Re: New Secret Base
Pushead and Astro Zombies knocked it out of the park with this one. I like the white teeth. Definitely getting one of these.

I'm not against the paint I just think it could have been toned down, I think the same about quite a lot of toys I see, more of an ivory white would have suited this I think. I still like it though glitter, GID and marbling works really well, even with all those elements its still quite subtle.

 Re: New Secret Base
i dont want to be laughed out of this forum (since i dont have a say in the collecting scheme round these parts)
but do you think this resembles the root beer float or whatever unpainted skullwing(andy superfest 57?) ? granted, this is marbled with GID and it has painted teeth (which i like)
DISCUSS!

Great pic, Andy, and I admit that MANIMAL was very talented, but try tracking him down to have him paint a Skullwing today- he’s damn nigh impossible to find! I’ve even heard rumors that he was, against all odds, faded… ( Couldn’t resist… but seriously, I’m with you… HAIL PUS!!!)
