 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
The custom on the left is by Dead Presidents and the custom in the middle is by Leecifer. I was just offered the blue GID this morning and sent payment for it...I wish I had the champagne version too.

 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
You are missing one of the GID versions. And the champagne wasn't the only "proto" that was sold via auction.

 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
Looking at that picture I'm reminded of the Sesame Street "One of These Things Does Not Belong" segment...

I like his ink on paper, but I don't think his art translates to interesting toys.

 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
Still missing out on all the GID versions plus the Golden Week, but I am happy with my bunch.  I agree with the observation that Usugrow should've stopped with the blacks and the whites, and maybe a few greys...as not to veer away too far from his awesome art. The blues, silver, etc. are just a bit more for me, but I had to score them as well. Maybe this is the reason why I couldn't muster enough gusto to commission a custom RI piece from another artist--its Usugrows art that gives that appeal to me to appreciate what he did with his toy. And the Usugrow Glow Bee isn't bad either.

 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
Yeah, I do like both of the Usugrow Bees...and I'm not a big fan of the Bees. But the graphic combined with the colors used on both (black/turquoise and yellow/turquoise) look really nice. That custom RI up above reminds me of a jugalo...or Mr. Cartoon...

 Re: Secret Base Appreciation & Collections
WOW!  What's the story on that A.Brain? Proto? Unpainted version of a future painted release? Typically I don't like unpainted figures, or flesh colored vinyl, but I really dig this. Love the color of the brain. Interesting that it has the standard finger-arms, rather than the A.Brain arms. I'd like to see a boxing A.Brain too! Can I have it?

The body is GID and the arms are solid Yellow. I had to find a head piece for the Astro Brain cover and just went with the flesh head I had.
