Is this just a regular clear skullbrain that's been dyed?

Yeah, what is this - I'm assuming unique-ish prototype of some kind?

I think the guy bought a packet of RIT dye, dyed the figure and is trying to pass it off as a unique prototype or one-off.

That guy sells a lot of stuff, and some good stuff, so I really wonder if that is the case. Seems unlikely he would do that, especially with the Japanese sellers code of honor etc.... Only one person knows for sure I guess.

I remember seeing a red skullbrain in someones collection along time ago, but I just assumed it was a custom job.

This one looks totally dyed. Clear red is usually alot darker like the cure skullbee.

As an aside - would that RIT dye work on the hard plastic of say a Henshin or those bodies that are coming with the Skulltoy suits?

There was something very similar to this in one of the big lots of SB that hte ubiquitous MrSparkle won. So either this came out of that lot - or there's more than one of these, which would seem to indicate something more "for real". Has anyone ran the item desription through a translator?

Yeah Hyper's dyed blob is cool...but even if this is an "authentic" proto or something, it's not really doing much for me...

Fuck, I wish I could remember whos collection had the red brain. I searched the archives, but it was so long ago that it has been deleted i guess.

Theres a pink neo-henshin cyborg always up for grabs on YJ http://page14.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s14871616

I presume this one is dyed - so looks like its possible.

I'm in love with clear toys, so that pinky red Skullbrain is da shizz for me - but I won't be paying that kind of crazy money for it.

Certainly not when you could dye a clear one yourself to match that color.

Muton - I think those Henshin 99's come in that colour no?
At any rate, I did a quick search and there appears to be products out there to dye hard plastics. Could be fun to play with dyes on some of those bodies Skulltoys are using now.

As for this little brain, it seems lacking. Needs to be more vibrant I think. Maybe it's the pic. Translucent vinyl seems to be a very vibrant material. Look at the orange and red used on Blobpus recently.

Thats not a 99, its a neo-henshin, and they definitely didn't come in that color, and neither did the 99's. I'm sure this is a custom.

Lets start dying stuff!

That cyborg has been up for almost 6 months! You think he would lower the price by now! I would rather get a custom from a board than buy that.

Yup - I've got some orange and some fuschia dye that I've been waiting to whip out on a Skull Brain.

This is the translation I get:

"It is the item of the photograph! It is the article not for sale skull blurring ink rear lead-lead. Rarely being to be the substitute which does not come out in auction, by all means in at this opportunity! Originally there is no header."

I don't think he says it is a prototype. It just says this was not for sale.
