but...

can I enjoy a white/flesh/blue/grey/pink/yellow unpainted toy for its' sculpt? my wife collects flesh unpainted kaiju/toys because she loves the way they look. her first rxh she owns is the devilman chaos cos it's part flesh. and i love unpainted figs be it for customs or not. i paid for it I can do whatever I want with it, or not. btw, i only collect unpainted rangeas for that same reason. and yes I will paint over some one day when I get my airbrush n paints...

Ahhh so I know know how to piss you off, Hiddy sucks !

I really do have ADHD its taken everything I have to hold on this long so probably not, its worth a try later though you never know.

Yes kidclam, you may enjoy whatever you like. The issue is not enjoying these. I enjoy them too, and I'd love to have a pure white one to display proudly, but these aren't it. There was a white figure released and if you want that figure you should have to search and find it like everyone else did. These figures have a sole purpose, and that is to paint or dye or tar and feather or whatever, but not to leave them white, because there was already a figure released for that purpose.

Wouldn't it suck if you shelled out 200 bucks (HA!) for a figure you thought was super rare and be displaying it proudly in your collection, only for a few years later the same thing to come out and people were displaying the same thing for 30 bucks? It would suck. I know if I displayed one of these SOLID white figures for the purpose of displaying it, I would feel like a fraud. I would always feel like I needed the "real" white evil in order to be complete. Maybe it's just because I have a good conscience, or maybe it's because I'm obsessive about that kind of thing....

It doesn't suck. I paid about that for my white unpainted Evil, a while ago, and it came from an OG RxH collector on the board. No regrets. To me, knowing where it came from in a "pre-SOLID" world is what's most important. AND, I will continue to hunt the Bigaro, even after it is potentially released as a SOLID figure for $30. I will certainly be more discerning about where or who I buy it from, but will happily pay for the real deal.

YOu said exactly what I"m trying to relay...that the real deal is what you're after!

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMM........Nope. I'd much rather buy this for $30 than the OG for $300. This will do for me.

edit. double post. sorry.

what's funny is that I bought GID blanks for customizing not realizing their value if I never even touched them. Oh well.

Nice !

But these are GID so they don't count

No, the intent of my post was to say that I don't think it sucks that there is a $30 version of the white unpainted Evil is out there.

1. KT Evil rules
2. i sold Lash's clear purple evil to logang for $2,200. no ques asked
3. i will sell my KT Evil to the first person who offers me $1,500 and is stupid enough to think its the lucky bag
4. i'm painting a bootleg V3 Evil now...

fakeXhead

I am buying a bunch of the KT evils to paint and leave one for display. I will still be happy to buy or trade for another LB evil anytime.

the bxh is probably due to the fact that its made in china. if secret base had been made in china it probably would have been bootlegged long ago.

I've got some fake money if you want to sell the fake V3.

Put my order in.
Woohoo!
SOLID Mini Chaos.

That's the only reason I buy them. I buy at least 2...one to paint and one to keep. but the one's I keep, I leave the tags on them.

I just ordered the evil as well and am going to leave it blank. I think the white looks very cool.

GASP!! BUT EVERYONE WILL think you have a lucky bag OG Evil.....!!!!!

Besides the yellow Damnedron, what figures did RM re-release? I'll still buy their stuff because I think it's awesome.

For some of the super hard to find stuff, I wish they would do re-issues, and maybe just do different headers to distinguish old from new. With Real Head it seems like the best colorways are also the most expensive/rare (like the first Booska Mutant Head) so it would be nice for more than 5-20 people to have them.

All this talk of bootleg rxh, the one way to tell if it's legit, boil down the vinyl and see if there's some crack in it.

+1

I hate that stepped on bootleg rxh...

actually bootleg is not that tough to spot. A bootleg normally have a big difference in the size.
If we concern about bootleg that custom paint by someone to disguise / pretend to be some painted original one. We better concern about those unpainted one. Coz someone ever mentioned about removing paint from a painted one to act as an unpainted version. I don wanna mention his name. But seems like the unpainted one is much risky coz the vinyl is authentic. How could we know the unpainted one is not one that had paint but washed off ?
