 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
I rescued this guy the other day and cleaned him up... he's been through a lot  I'm going to give him a new lease on life, but I'm trying to decide how to keep some of that abused vinyl.

Ben, what the he'll happened to that mantis?? Damn, I know they don't get quite as much love as the other secret base fighters but that's brutal!

I don't believe this guy was in a blind bag, but I don't know where he came from. He might have been a gacha gacha prize from SB??

 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
It looks like it was a black spray Japan Spirits mantis, yeah. It had been damaged, and consigned to a life as a paint test figure, but I figured I could spruce it back up. Truth be told, the vinyl looks like of cool from all the chemical horror its endured!

 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
Spam isn't really that white, is it? It had to have SOME more color to it...

 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
Nothing fantastic but I finally got a 1/1 skull. I now know that my skull is bigger than the SB one cause my helmet is a bit too loose on it.   This helmet has saved my life and am sad that I have to retire it because it is just too old to be safe any longer

 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
Bert - does your skull have some flesh, a layer of skin, ears and some hair, whereas the SB one doesnt - and that might account for the 1/1 skull size discrepency? gatchabert wrote: I now know that my skull is bigger than the SB one cause my helmet is a bit too loose on it.
