im sorry if i missed this being discussed somewhere but what is the story with this toy? i cant figure out how to translate the description on the SB site so im left at a loss. this is THE coolest one imo and i WANT one impossible? not possible yet? i havent seen em in collections... can anyone help explain this guys deal?

is it from sdcc?

He was a SB hand paint, so you had to show up in person or score on the site... I think.

The Black Unknowns were blind bagged Skull Pirates that were either Hand Spray Painted Pirates or Copper Chrome Pirates. Some were sold through one of the Pushead mailing lists while the remainder were sold at the SB store in Japan. They have been long sold out on the retail level.

yeah i only just gave it another good look after the first post here and saw the "july 2007", figured it was long gone but as i said iv never seen one in a collection shot...that i can think of anyway. guess thats a pricy MF'er if he ever rears his ugly head.

There are several Hand Spray Painted's and Copper Chrome's in people's collections around here

Here's my Copper from the "Black Unknown"...

I have to say I really prefer the Copper Chrome to the HSP. The shine on that puppy is sick!

i guess i mean iv seen em all except the black one sprayed in blood red

Is there such a thing?

go to the sb site, click the toy section click the black pus skull pic

They all came in different colors. Allot of them look the same but the one you are talking about does exist. It's not really black though more like a dark green with red splattered. I'm getting one tomorrow from a friend who is not really feeling his. AS of now I only have the copper chrome but I'll have the HSP(hand spray paint)as well. The Cooper Chrome was limited to 25 and the HSP limited to 58. The insert that comes also reads Hand Paint limited to 9 and I believe those were sold at the SDCC this year.




You can also visit the pusfan.com page that has all the hand paint variations for the pirate at http://www.pusfan.com/hpsp.htm

please post a picture when you get him! i was questioning it being black it does look slightly greenish on the site just wasnt sure.

+3 cool display with header cards

I'll definitely post some shots of it and Dave if you are reading this I'll email you some shots too.

Chad...I loved this way of displaying the pirates but unfortunately my cats knocked down a couple of them so I took them out and keep them ina detolf. If I get some shelves I will display them in the cases with the headers later. here's a shot I took before I moved some stuff.
