Post Rebel Ink - Back piece. Help needed.
Believe it or not, both of these are white (the darker one is smoke damage) :(
Anyway one of these is the regular print and one is the reverse one.
Any ideas which one is which?
I need to send a white one out for custom paint but wanna make sure I'm not sending the rare one out ;)

Thanks in advance

Andy

The one on the right is the OG! Do not send this one!

Hope that helps!

yuck, i'd totally send the smoke-discolored one. plaster a thick, lumpy coat of gouache and shellack on there to completely obscure the base vinyl and obliterate the stench. done!

Agreed.

Plus, though the Golden Week RI is technically newer, it was released in much smaller numbers.

I also have the golden week one with the left print but in silver on white.
If I bought another white one from SB now which one would it be?
I'm hoping it'll be the right hand one so I can get that one painted!

I dont think they have the OG versions anymore. More than likely you would get the reversed print (left one) but I am not sure. Are you sure you could even buy the white ones still? I thought those sold out long ago???

Don't really wanna buy another reverse print.
I'll try and dan up the OG one and keep all 3.

the reversed print it's pretty limited, SB has produced og black and og white for the second time one year ago, for the golden week, this is the second batch to be produced and the tempo is silver (got the first and this guy was very hard to get), you should keep the reversed, og white should be came out again like the black :wink:

If you're going to collect custom ones you might try and keep a few of the crappy beat up PVC (or whatever that was) on hand so as not to face this dilemma. That said it's sooooo much nicer to get to paint the vinyl.

Is this confirmed? That would pretty much destroy the hunting part of the hobby!?!
I wondered where this second wave of original colorways came from but would not believe they did a second release.
I cannot believe they did this . . . :?

Leecifer - I was lucky enough to buy a collection of 10 from someone and had a few doubles. Now I try and buy them when they pop up cheap.

A.tom - I did wonder how they were still on the secretbase website.

I'm doing good so far with the customs. So far I have (left to right) Topheroy, Mr Lister & D-Lux with one more on the way from Robotic Industries.
I'm all out of doubles for now but will GID more soon I'm sure ;)

Thanks man, I'm super proud of them as I am of my entire Usugrow collection.
I started in December and have found 22 out of 27 already along with 4 customs and have managed to get all 10 Salvation Inks that I wanted too plus a Topheroy custom.
