Would look better without the pinstriping, in my opinion. |

I love pin striping, but haven't seen it done on a toy the way I'd buy it. |

I've seen it done on a couple solids that worked for me. Clear? Wouid seem hard to pull off in a way that I would like. The clear green skullbee with the subtle driplines worked for me. |

If I remember right these were about $100 retail at the show and there were 2 different Desuras available. The pinstripe on all his figures is amamzing clean. I think he did 10 each. |

10,000 yean at the show. I bought one of these for myself, the pinstriping is actually amazing, completely perfect. I usually don't go for these, but this was insane. However is jacking the prices is smoking crack. |

His pinstriping seems to be getting more eloborate as well, compared to some I've already got/seen. |

The WF Black Zyurai Asu with gold stripes is far more elaborate than the original set of black Zyurai's he did around a year ago. Since then it seems the stripe work has gotten more and more intricate. But the cleanness and sharpness of the lines has been there all along. |
