Re: James Groman Rotten Rex.
I like this toy predicated by the fact that it's from James but the mandrake price is fucking absurd. It shows market manipulation to the point that it's laughable. They've been known to inflate from time to time but still...it makes me chuckle.

Re: James Groman Rotten Rex.
Anyone know if there will be a painted D-Con release?

Re: James Groman Rotten Rex.
BOObotcher is correct. Luke had some at a convention in Japan. Forgive me for not knowing which one, exactly. I'm sure either someone from Mandarake bought it and put it up, or someone bought one and sold it to them. Either way, the price tag is ridiculous.

Re: James Groman Rotten Rex.
Gotcha. Just odd not to see any coverage. Found some pics This pic is from gromans IG: Looks like the same blue/red head as the one posted on the last page. Edit: just found this pic on IG. Based on other photos this convention actually happened BEFORE nycc

^^^ That is were that red one I commented on came from I do believe. hellscrape wrote: i think he meant the dcon one-offs... and i don't know about time/price, either. If the marbled were 250 retail... maybe 500 for the painted 1/1 for dcon? no info still...

Re: James Groman Rotten Rex.
I like the Rotten Rexx, but not willing to blow $800 for one of these 1/1

They are AMAZING customs, but that is so out of my league, it's not even funny.

Re: James Groman Rotten Rex.
Yea thats a $675 paint job on a $125 figure. His work is amazing but I think I'm out at that price. The thought of having almost 6 swirl/glow/solid for the same price makes me think twice. Still would love to have one painted by him though.

Re: James Groman Rotten Rex.
$800 is ludacris.
Maybe there is some market for "James Groman" fans elsewhere.

Re: James Groman Rotten Rex.
I've seen Paul Kaiju one offs go for $500. I'm not exactly sure why a hand painted one off of a figure three times the size of a Mockbat/Boss at $800 from a high profile, established artist is ludacris. I absolutely deem them both worthy. My pockets just don't run that deep. That's just my opinion, of course. I suppose if you one can afford it and the desirability is there, then it's not ludacris at all.

Re: James Groman Rotten Rex.
S'right . . . s'all about levels of ludacris!
I shake my head in disbelief at some of the crap that's being hyped, worshipped and bought for considerably less these days! $800 for a behemoth hand-painted by Mr Madballz seems like a steal of a deal in comparison to a lot of it!

Exactly. The fact this was already up for pre-order in two colors so ANYONE who liked it could grab it cheap and easy and paint it themselves pretty much makes any price they ever charge for future editions totally reasonable. There was none of the -it's so limited you better pay out of your ass or never get one- type of stuff going on at all so i respect anything they do with this figure from now on. I got mine cheap and easy, everyone else could have done the same. Whatever happens next with this thing is just icing on the cake. The man is a legend. Maybe not to most vinyl fans but that's besides the point.

That actually was my point.
You got me on the Madballs thing. I think HP pusheads that are 4" tall ARE worth a G, so to each his own.
