 Re: rainy day skullbrain? ---NT--- wrote: What's happening to the 13th Bees? It looks like the glow paint is getting all messed up, or the clear vinyl is having a bad reaction to it or something. I've noticed this in some other photos too. mine has that look too. i figured it was the way it was supposed to look, since i kinda like it. it almost resembles those vinyl records with the multicolored swirls or whatever...

Re: rainy day skullbrain? It's due to an uneven distribution of vinyl during the casting process... it's going to be thicker in some areas, and thinner in others. Since the vinyl is colored (as opposed to being painted on the outside), the thicker areas are going to contain more pigment than the thinner areas, and the "blotching" is result of that.

Re: rainy day skullbrain? I would think it would go under the category of "unintended"...

Re: rainy day skullbrain? Yeah, the casting process is just too random to generate consistency on that level... and I agree, the randomness of some of the castings of clear figures is part of the charm.
