The next one is certain to go for a lot lower since the results of this unsuccessful auction are being publicized.

Posting auction results to threads like this tends to eliminate reselling and overpaying.

If you're really outraged about a high auction end price be sure to publicize it so it won't happen again.

this makes missing the blind bags so much easier to deal with

I am in love!!

^^^^ His Purpleness reigns supreme!

Hey! I think you outbid me on this on YJA didn't you you sneaky bugger.

Beautiful.

not me Tim, believe it or not I actually found this guy through some info posted over on kr

Impossible. Nothing of that calibre could surface on that side of the fence.

oh and he sings too!

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Holy crap Joe that's a nice score! It's a Mark Nagata hp isn't it?
I can hear the rumble of folks hauling over to KR to post wants there!

hmm not sure if it's an hp but it is a production piece. I believe it's the one chosen from all the pink hp's to be the production run but I thought it was painted by TE? Not sure though...

This is one of the HP versions that was released at an event in Japan. I believe they were all painted by TE but released in conjunction with various Maxtoy figs. Here's another image that originally came from the TE site.

Tis a beauty.

I'd take one of those light purple pieces over the GID versions. I can't believe you found this via kr?!

jojo has one too so it's not one of the hp's

Here is mine...they look pretty similar. There's a thread somewhere that shows most of the HPs from the run...looking...

it's Joe's want list I posted all of them I think....

pretty sure that's the same one Ralph, the color on the chest almost changes with different light, from the greyish blue to a lighter greyish whiteish. I was confused at first regarding which one it might be but I'm pretty sure it's the production version. I have 8 pics of the hps and this isn't one of them. Wondering if there were just 8 hp's though or if there might be more out there?

Here they are -

Yeah, you're right, same one. It's gorgeous Joe...probably my favorite out of all the releases.
That pink vinyl really shows off the sculpt too.

I think you're right Joe. So were these released after the event as a production release?

If I recall correctly, the hps were randomly sold with the production pieces.
I'm pretty sure Mark posted something on his blog....looking...

not sure if you guys ever saw this, probably did and I'm just late, but I thought this was pretty cool

Was this one of the Bromide cards?

I believe so

found this on some old MaxToy post via google

says the set was released wonderfest 2008

The pink HPs and production versions were sold as 2-pack 'battle sets' with a Capt. Maxx figure. There were also blank sets.

Originally, these were sold at WF. Mark also sold a few (i.e., unsold sets from WF) via his web store.
