He was a Fan Club pre-order. I guess they are shipping now since this one is on yja. I still haven't received mine, but once I do I'll post.
BETTER be tomorrow :x

Just my opinion here, but I've seen about five different Crank Mantis and they all looked better than this guy. I still like this one though.

I dunno what they're classed as . . . each is unique and only a limited number released. I wouldn't call 'em a production piece!

These are CUSTOMS for sure!!
Each is different. When Crank did the Bees they all had the same kind of design to them just different colors (pretty much), but the Mantis seem to be all different.

Here's mine. I really dig these runs.. they're all very similar yet slightly different (and there's a black one too.. but they're all painted over black vinyl)... all skillfully done with what I assume is a paint marker. I wish he would make more of the skullbrain...

That is a beautiful piece! I love the subtlety of the red, it's not too overpowering but the detail is great.

Nice score. I would really like to get one of these someday.
