pink chaos will be on sale NEXT WEEK Friday at the World Hobby show, apparently there will be a Soft Vinyl corner at that event so we should expect some extra bits and bobs to surface there as well. S7 will be getting the pink chaos in as a regular shipment so you don't need to go crazy on YJA... or at least you should use your yen to buy the other Super Secret Real Head item that will be on sale tomorrow. hee hee....

Why the scarf?
You really don't know?
Japanese hero tradition!!! As started by Japan's second-greatest hero (after Ultraman), Kamen Rider!!!
Observe! And scroll down for nice pic of Kamen Riders 1 & 2, with hero scarves!!
http://incolor.inebraska.com/stuart/riders/kr1.htm
Or here, if you prefer:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamen_Rider
This tradition is seen in other places, like Katamari Damacy, which has a red hero scarf for the Prince to wear, and the Street Fighter EX series, where the character of Skullomania is a Kamen Rider-style henshin hero.
See here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Skullomania_SF.jpg
For the easiest shot.
So turning Mutant Chaos into a hero involves a nice red scarf. Makes logical sense, from a tokusatsu point of view.
Also, the Kinkotsuman Skull Brain has a red scarf as well, as he is a reference to Kinkotsuman, the arch-enemy of Kinnikuman in the wrestling manga of the same name. Kinkotsuman has a sort of Kamen Rider-ish look to him, in contrast to the Ultraman-style Kinnikuman.
Hope that clears things up a bit...
Please feel free to ask me some more...
