What do you guys think? I managed to collect lots of great RxH pics from Yahoo auctions, especially the ones I could not afford. You can see the difference also on the body too, especially the chest...

The eBay GID Head is a color that Mori did not produce.
I thought the "debate" was about WHO might be creating these "customs" and potentially passing them off as originals....

I thought we kind of know who. I just wanted to post it since I notice more difference besides the head part. It's hard to know the color difference maybe since the photograph might not be true of the figure (for those who don't have the original) but the obvious parts on the chest is visible.

i dont know who is telling who what via pm/email/secret private bat-phone/whatever, but i have never commented on the identities of any of the folks being discussed to anyone ever. i dont have any solid information on whether people are using two id's, separate people, same people, etc. im not sure why someone is dropping my name as an authority on this.
the cloak and dagger nonsense is getting kind of old.

Does Mori, or anyone else, think any of the other RxH listed there are boots too? I mean, obviously some aren't, but there's a few. I'm thinking of the GID Bigaro. Not that I'm bidding on anything, just stirring it up.

So I talked to Mori. I can't get into detail, but basically, if you think it's a boot and you don't want it then just don't buy it. If you think it's the real shit and you want it bad, then go for it. Without seeing it in person, there is really no way to confirm if it is a bootleg or not. Like everyone says on this board "Pictures don't do justice"...well, maybe this is one of them.
As for the Chaos=Killer-J issue, I say forget it. Unless you go to HK and go to the shop and confirm it's the same dude, I think we all need to stop saying that he is. There are times when rumors can cause trouble, and this is one of them. All the guys that does not know the 100% fact, don't say something is true from something you have heard until you, yourself , have found the truth.

Mori continues to be a fantastic guy for fanboys visiting the shop in Aoto! He was nice enough to let us snap some pics of stuff you may have seen already, and a few new things.
Check it out:
TMNT colored vinyl fortune cats
Bubble vinyl test shots of Chaos figure from different factories; Obitsu in the center, with pretenders flanking
I begged SHAMELESSLY for this set, on behalf of all of us; amazing figures in person
This was the other figure that Stealth and I expressed our love for, clear cherry red vinyl; Mori asked us several times, "unpainted??", to which we nodded vehmently, "YES, YES!!"
Prototype and the cherry red FC
Yes, I got to hold them and dream for a moment....
A classic. This pic is for E.....hope I find him before you do!!!!
Stealthtank, about to offer up the secret RxH "mohawk" handshake!
RHND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice photos... love the bubble picture and the Cherry Red shot... good call on the "no paint" for the Cherry FC by the way.

The pink eye and black scarf seals the deal on that figure...!!

I especially like the photo of the bubble Chaos test-shots. I love that kind of weird trivia.
Thanks again for your diligent photography.
