 Re: what are these brains
I'm 99.999999999999999999999999999999999 percent sure they are customs. That is an INSANE price for a custom!!
Well at least a custom like that

Wow. That is an amazing translation.
Of course, if it were clear vinyl it may have just naturally aged in the cask. Someday it will look like amber!

it says that this person won it at the SB gatcha machine. There is no header card when he recieved it. It was in a glass case( probably in a display case showing that you can win it).
Thats pretty cool to win a figure at a gatcha machine. Pay 300 yen or so and make 12000 yen in return.......damn

When you say stamped, do you mean the same as all the other Secret Base figures?? So if you were to dye a Clear Brain it would have the stamp? Or something totally different??

yes, same as all the other Secret Base figures.
yes, if you were to dye a clear brain, it still would have the stamp....since it's a....stamp.
sorry, am I missing the question?
oh, another thing is the brain is the older, squishy version.
dunno, think some dude got a bunch of the clear brains, dyed them and is trying to pass them off as some crazy rare "proto-types" or one-offs or some shit like that.
i like 'em and were cheap as hell.....5,000 yen?

So unless it's actually something that came from Secret Base I wouldn't pay more than the going price of a clear Brain and some Red or Yellow dye.
I don't think there is anything special about this piece.
I might just be saying that because I don't have one also

yes, this is what I meant. It's a secret base mold stamp on the bottom of the foot.

I am almost 100% these are customs which make this dude a bootlegger if what Hiro says about the auction is right. Fuck that noise.
