I can't believe there are people willing to pay as much as this auction is going for when the figure is in the state that this figure is in. When V-color is flakey, it comes off very easily.

To whom it may concern: The highest bidder with 16 feedback is a shill bid. AT has already set the price HIGH on this. No doubt about that. He does browse this board. He knows who's been on a spending spree laying down big $. Don't get played. Regards, J |

I was happy to see this figure, but when I saw that neck area.... I would NEVER buy. 1.) It could be a fake, 2.) If not like said it will spread, something is wrong and the paint is rejecting the vinyl. |

I was wondering if this was a fake- this is somthing that does worry me ( well it doesnt really as I dont have this sort of money to spend anyways  ) but the way I see it is these sellers are merciless, if one hasnt been made and sold already surely its only a matter of time.

when I saw the neck area, a flag went up in my mind. could be a fake or just hopelessly crappy. Shill bids are lame. they're playin' us, dawg!

ironic that its the only "auction" auction_toy has up at the moment. that alone is a huge red flag. |

I totally wouldn't have even noticed the flaking paint around the neck, luckily for me I dont have the kind of cash necessary to pick up anything like this. Is this a pattern developing? Anytime he puts up a piece for auction vs. BIN should we just assume that it's a fake immediately? |

I was under the impression that Mori was not sure in the case of the GID head. In this case it looks like someone just twisted the head around a bit roughly. couldn't that cause that kind of mark? If it was a fake I would have thought they would have been more careful. |

If it was a fake I would have thought they would have been more careful. This is what stealthtank quote from Mori "and one of what in his opinion is a fake figure currently up for auction somewhere. " in a recent thread. Ya right, it may not be a fake. I also love this popsoda head and want to bid on it. I hope it's probably just a worn toy with someone who keep twisting its head many times. It will end up with the SAME winner if the final price didn't reach a certain amount hahaGood luck to the final winner

Shill bid maybe but i think its real mccoy though. one did surface fairly recently. i have seen the painted yellow jinja-R test shot painted over a flesh figure, the effect looks similar. |

Fake or FUBAR'd . . . either way sucks! The missing header isn't great either. |

I have a few pop soda metallic versions. I can say that it does get wear and tear, especially on smoother sculpts like Head and Chaoq. I bought the green Chaoq recently from a board member and it is not in mint condition. I was informed before my purchase that is not the issue. I am just raising the issue that it seems to happen on the Pop Soda colorways. That said, I think it shouldn't be worth as much if it was not in mint condition. |

The prior suspicious lot was also missing the header. I don't remember auction_toy having RxH missing headers at too-high starting bids until recently. Even if this one is authentic, the starting price is insane, and IMHO would be even if there was no evident damage to the figure. |

It is indeed the real deal. These colors painted near the neck and shoulder joints, vary amongst figures in this release. |

Muwahaha! My plan to have y'all stop bidding on it, so I can have it all to myself is working.
