I got this with another mini zag from YJA.
It is sealed/stapled with header---at face value, it was legit.
But somehow, I have reservations on this dude and suspect it is a custom on a blue blank...can anyone confirm?
Thanks!

I think Locomoco is the expert. But as far as I know I've never seen that zag before. |

Sorry, but definitely not a production Zag... The eye and teeth are the sure signs... clear brush strokes - not sprayed using masks. Someone just did a custom job on one of the blue blanks as you thought. Do you have a link to the auction? I'd like to see if they listed it as a custom job... |

Ah... yeah, it does say that it was a custom... he even says it's an "amateur custom". |

Eyes and teeth are a dead give-away. Was there no pic posted for the auction? |

Lame! Messed up that someone is trying to pass this off as a production piece! |
